General Incorporation Law.

Though It is a very slow way of getting
at thing which ought to be secured with
out difficulty, yet 1t seems thereisno other
way of securing a general incorporation
law In this State except through a consti-
tutional amendment as proposed by SEN
ator Riddle. The fact that this is needed,
however, is but another evidence of the
defective character of our present consti-
tuition, the many defects OF which urgently
demand a Constitutional Convention.
