by this court where local or special legislation, that is to | |||
say, legislation applicable alone to the city of St. Louis, or | |||
alone to Kansas City, has been held valid. This is true, but | |||
in the decisions in none of those cases was there any expression or ruling which impinges in the slightest degree on the | |||
constitutional prohibition against a local or special law being | |||
enacted where a general law could have been made applicable; | |||
on the contrary, either distinct or else implied recognition is | |||
constantly given to the idea that, owing to the circumstances | |||
and exigencies of the particular case, a general law could not | |||
have been made applicable, or where it could not have been | |||
made applicable by reason of the fact that the legislation questioned was the result of direct obedience to some specific command of the Constitution.") | |||
