Excision of Unconstitutional and Ineffective Parts of Article.
It is hereby declared that the Sections, clauses, sentences and parts of this
Article are severable and are not matters of mutual essential inducement, and
any of them may be excised by any court of competent jurisdiction if this
Article would otherwise be unconstitutional or ineffective. It is the
intention of this Article to confer upon the Board the whole or any part of the
powers in this Article provided for, and if any one or more Sections, clauses,
sentences and parts of
this Article shall for any reason be questioned in any court of competent
jurisdiction and shall be adjudged unconstitutional or invalid, such judgment
shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remaining provisions thereof, but
shall be confined in its operation to the specific provision or provisions so
held unconstitutional or invalid, and the inapplicability or invalidity of any
Section, clause, sentence or part of this Article in any one or more instances
shall not be taken to affect or prejudice its applicability or validity in any
other instance.
