Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

Application for a writ of prohibition based on the claim that the act of Congress approved May 17, 1917, providing for what is known as the selective draft for military service, is in violation of section 1 of article XIII of the federal Constitution and section 18 of article I of the Constitution of this state, prohibiting "slavery" and "involuntary servitude." The claim is utterly without merit.

The application is denied.
