PROPOSED .AyMEN.DMEN1S.

Ihef only amendment to the
state constitution to be voted on
by the people at the next election
is one making two very important
changes in the qualifications of
electors. The amendment has now
passed two legislatures and will in
all probability receive a majority
of the votes cast in 1898. The first
change is striking out that provi-
sion in the constitution giving per-
sons of foreign birth who have de.
clared their intentions of becom-
ing citizens, the qualification of
electors, and the provision inserted
in lieu thereof, that all electors
must be citizens Of the United
States. A person offo' eign birth.
therefore, must have taken out his
second papers before he will be
allowed to vote.
The other change is that an edu-
cational test will be required. The
amendment makes it compulsory
on the part of the legislature to
prescribe this test and will prob
ably be such that no one can vote
who cannot read or write the Eng
fish language, or, if he be for
eigner, the language o. his native
country. The amendments also
provides that penalties may be
described for failure. refusal or
neglect to vote at any general
election. Civilized persons of In
dian descent who have severed
their tribal relations two years
preceding an election will be al
lowed to vote.
The next Legislature will be re-
quired to pass upon the constitu-
tional amendment providing for
state board of pardons, which pass
ed the session of the legislature
just adjourned. The board is to
consist of governor, chief justice
of the supreme court, attorney
general, and two qualified electors
to be appointed by the governor.
Should this amendment be adopt
ed the governor will be relieved of
very responsible and unpleasant
duties.
Another constitutional amend
ment to be referred to the next
Legislature for approval is one pro-
viding for the taxation OF express,
sleeping car, dining car, telegraph
and telephone companies. 1t pro-
vides that the franchise and other
property of the companies shall be
assessed by the state board of
equalization and the tax apportion.
ed to the number of miles of such
property within such counties.
