The Convention Of 1896 inserted in the Constitution
Of Tennessee prohibition against the grant of mo-
ncpolies by the Legislature, The Convention of
1886 took further step in the same direction. The
author of this communication, member of that
Convention proposed special committee to ssser-
tain and report what provisions could be inserted in
the Constitution to diminish the time and cost ex-
pended in private and local legislation. This COM
Inittee reported sections 4, s. and OF the lIth
tele nearly as they now stand in the Constitution
The Legislature had expended much time and
money in granting divorces.
The fourth section declares that ths Legislature
shall grant no more divorces, but shat they might
authorize the to grant divorces for specified
causes declared in general laws, equal and uniform
throughout the State
The laws of the State prohibited lotteries, which
v.-e indictable 3 dsmoraiizing description Of
CANINE. The Legislature in the habit OF sus-
Dend;nu this prohibitOry law, and making special
grants Of lotteries The Constitution declares that
NO lotteries shall be authorized by the Legislature.
The uniformity of law, as to ALL was thus vindieated
and sustained.
The Legislature had chartered the Union and
PlsuterI' Banks with power, in certain cases 70
take more than per cent, the lawful interest, al
sthers ware entitled to take. This was considered
BY the committee unequal, unjust, and violating
the equality Of the law.
The Constitution therefore declared that the rate
Of interest should be equal and uniform throughout
the State, putting it out of the power of the
Legislature to grant GO favorte corporate |
bodies such unjEst advantages over the balance Of
