By Act No. 145, p. 259, and Act No. 297, p. 607, of 1914, the Legislature created a commission “to investigate the past and present conduct and management of the affairs of the government,” and provided for the payment of the per diem of the members of this commission and of its other expenses.
The object of the present suit is to enjoin this commission from doing its said work, and to enjoin the state auditor and the state treasurer from paying the said per diem and other expenses out of the state treasury, on the ground that the said acts are unconstitutional.
