““The fact that the language to be construed here is a pari, of the Constitution of the state, and not a statutory provision, makes no difference. The rules of construction by which the meaning of the language is to he ascertained, and the rights and remedies which grow out of it, are the same, no matter where the language to be construed is found.” Winchester v. Mabury, 122 Cal. 527 , 55 Pac. 304 .”
