“". . . the Legislature exercises the entire legislative power of the state, except in so far as some limitation has been imposed by the state Constitution, and that, therefore, for successfully assailing the constitutionality of any statute, it is necessary to point out some particular provisions of the Constitution which has taken away from the Legislature the power to pass it."”

It compels no state to adopt an iron rule of territorial uniformity for legislation. In the enactment of laws, the Legislature may consider the `needs and desires' of the various sections of the state without infringing equal protection."”
