The people have ordained by explicit consti-
tutional provisions, that 1.-THE legislature SHALL
from time to time, provide as far as practical
bic, by general laws, for all matters usually
appertaining to special or private legislation
and that corporations shall be formed under
general laws and shall not be created by spe-
cial acts of the Legislature, except for mu-
nicipal purposes and in cases where the OBJ
jects of the corporation cannot otherwise be
attained: and, however formed, they shall for
ever be subject to the general laws of the
State" I
This requirement has by many Legislative
bodies, since its adoption, been practically hiSi
regarded Our statutes are burdened with
legislative enactments, clearly at variance
with the intention and spirit of these plain
provisions While special and private legisia-
sion is not prohibited in absolute terms, the
law-making power is commanded to make
provision as far rs practicable, by general
laws for matters of this character.
The constitutional provisions bearing upon
this question are somewhat elastic, leaving
much to the discretion and Judgment OF the
Legislature. Its provisions are especially
adapted to a State so vast IN territory is our
own, with SO many interests requiring iegisif
ton, at times, to aid in development. Among
the numerous matters that Will come before
YOU for consideration you Will ma many 'ilat
can be benefcially provided for by general
and uniform laws. Other subjects will come
before YOU where safer and better results can
be reached, and more advantageous TO com
munities and the people, by discreet special
legislation applicable to the same, and where
il would be unwise and in1udicioUs for the
Legislature to surrender, py general laws ies
power of control.
At its last session the Legislature, appreciat-
ing the Importance OF limiting TO some extent,
the rapid growing tendency of special legisa
ton, authorized the appointment of a board OF
three commissioners to take into consider alton
,he subject Of private and special legislation,
% investigate and ascertain what subjects
might properly be provided for by general
laws. for which special legislation had hereto
fore been asked Under the resolve, Honor

The right OF suffrage, the right to have
voice in the affairs of the Government, IS one
of the highest privileges bestowed upon the
citizen. The established method that existed
in our State for generations. of permitting the
expression of political preferences at the ballot
box by an open ballot, was superseded by
the Legislature of 1921, after a full discussion.
The tendency of popular government is in
the direction of higher and more advanced
intelligence and greater individual RESPONSE
sbility in the exercise of this important right
We need not so beyond the limits of our own
State to find recognition OF this principle.
The people of Maine. by q constitutional
amendment adopted in 1921, decreed, with GER
tain limitations and exec ptions, that mo per
son shall have the right to vote or be eligible
to office under the Constitution OF TINS state,
who shall not be able to read the Constitution
in the English language and write his name"
1t is conceded that many defective ballots
were cast at the last election. This may be
attributed in many instances TO the change
adopted in 1898 in the method of marking the
ballot. A fixed and permanent system OF vot'
ing seems to be desirable: constant changes IN
the mode Of exercising that right, only tend

Ex- superintendent of Insurance S. II.
Snider, Mrs. Snider and E. A. Wagener

of Warden Chase, and testified in minor
matters.
The members of the investigating COM
mittee had lots of fun with the book

This mans name was g. Freedman,

| Warden Chase purchased supplies for
his family from Leaveuworth merchants
instead of living off the state, as many
of the prisoners had testified.
When Freedman was first put on the
stand he did not have his bouks with
him.
He was afterwards called as a witness
for the state and ordered to bring his
books with him.
When on the stand at the night session
Chairman Parker asked Freckman if he
could explain how it happened that
Warden Chase's account was all in
fresh ink different from the rest and
why Chase's name in the index appeared
at the very last, although other accounts
opened at later date were indexel
above his.
The witness could not explain this aud
! all the members of the committee
laughed when Chairman Parker told the
witness TO take his books and go.
1t is expected that the examination of
witnesses in this investigation will be
concluded by the middle of next week.

of Voting d scided.

Mrs. Helen Cougar, who sought
to recover damages from the elec

allow her to vote at the last Novem-
ber election, that under the national
and state Constitutions women were eX-
cluded from suffrage and decided against

a test case.
