House. OF Understandable. Hubbard,
from tho committee Of WAYS and means, made the
following report:
Mr.. Spesker,-The committee Of ways and
means to which referred various petitions on
the subject Of printing the laws Of this State IN
the German language, have had tho same under
consideration and have directed me 10 report,
that notwithstanding your committee cannot re-
port favorable at this time, to tho prayers OF the
petitioners, yet we think they have strong Claims
on the consideration of the Legislature, inasmuch
as a very respectable portion Of our citizens are
Germans, who willingly contribute to the sup
mort of schools and other beneficial state insitu-
TONS and share in common with their fellow
citizens all public burdens; and that from necessi-
~ as W ell as choice compelled to use the IAN
puapc in which they have been educated IN their
! ~ .ok oekA md IN
thereof they in good measure unacqua'n'ed
with the constitution and laws OF this their adoP-
ted state and with their legal liabilities as well
as their rights and privileges, and have not the
means within their reach to inform themselves
For these, as we'll as many other reasons which
might be urged, your committee believe the time
is not far distant whom il will be proper tor the
LEGISLATURE to take steps 10 accommodate with
j the laws in their own language this worthy Por-
ton of our citizens. but the state has JUST gone
into, and completed revision Of tho laws, your
committee think the present would not be pro-
per time to 60 into TRANSLATION OF our laws 'nto
the German language. They therefore ask TO be
discharged from . further consideration u '"s
subject.
The report was concurred in by consent.
