FERGUSON separate accommodations for the two races will also authorize them to require separate cars to be provided for people whose hair is of a certain color or who are aliens or who belong to certain nationalities or to enact laws requiring colored people to walk upon one side of the street and white people upon the other or requiring white men s houses to be painted white and colored men s black or their vehicles or business signs to be of different colors upon the theory that one side of the street is as good as the other or that a house or vehicle of one color is as good as one of another color. The reply to all this is that every exercise of the police power must be reasonable and extend only to such laws as are enacted in good faith for the promotion of the public good and not for the annoyance or oppression of a particular class. Thus in Yick Wo v. Hopkins 118 U. S. 356 6 Sup. Ct. 1064 it was held by this court that a municipal ordinance of the city of San Francisco to regulate the carrying on of public laundries within the limits of the municipality violated the provisions of the constitution of the United States if it conferred upon the municipal authorities arbitrary power at their own will and without regard to discretion in the legal sense of the term to give or withhold consent as to persons or places without regard to the competency of the persons applying or the propriety of the places selected for the carrying on of the business. It was held to be a covert attempt on the part of the municipality to make an arbitrary and unjust discrimination against the Chinese race. While this was the case of a municipal ordinance a like principle has been held to apply to acts of a state legislature passed in the exercise of the police power. Railroad Co. v. Husen 95 U.
