Constitutional Convention Asked.
The following resolution was then in
troduced by ]. n. Springer, Oak Lawn,
and referred to the committee on reso-
lutiohs:
Resolved, BY the Democracy OF Dali
las county in convention assembled
that cur members in the general as
sembly ana cur senator be. and they
ire hereby. instructed to introduce AMI
urge the passage OF join. resolution
submitting TO the people OF Texas the
proportion OF calling constitutional
convention in order that the constitu-
ton of this state. framed when there
was but something over eight hundred
tfougand people within her borders
may be revised and amended to meet
the requirements of over two and a
qut rter millions of people 1t Is our
judgment that the prevalence OF crime
necessarily the result of rapidly in
creasing population demand thor
ough end complete revision of the Grim
inal laws of the state; that there should
be state board of equalization to
which an appeal could be taken from
the present law which makes so-calied
boai DIS of equalization rather "boards
of confscation "
We further insist that common hon
esty and fair dealing absolutely re-
quire that there should be limitation
upon city homesteads In order that
protecting II mans wife and children
may not mean, as 1t so often does now
in this state, "a palace built by direct
or indlr ,ct robbery of creditors under
the sanction Of so-called law. We be-
lieve that statutory enactments should
be diminished In number. simplihed In
expression and made capable of speedy
execution In order that both the poor
ard the rich may have equal and exact
Justice, with special exception To none,
We submit that the above resolution
should voice the sentiment of every
honest Intelligent and patriotic citizen
who wishes to live to see that proud
day when Texas shall be first in popu-
lation and first in the general pros
peri.y of her people.
