The more important changes in the re-
vised constitution as submitted TO the
General Assembly by the commission on
revision today are clearly pointed out In
the report which was prepared by Judge
Durfee, and presented with the revised
instrument. The principal changes are
as follows:
Art. ], sec. 6, which corresponds to sec.
? of the present constitution, Is MADE TO
read that "No person shall be held TO an
swer for a crime which shall be punisha-
BILE with death or by imprisonment In the
state prison unless on preseDtment or IN
dictinsnt by the granu jury" Ihe pres
ent constitution contains the word ln1h-
NOUS. and as there is SOME doubt as 20
exactly what Infamous can be mace 10
apply, the change has been made ana the
section Ia now free from oil ambiguity.
The N ain objecp OF the change, however,
IL to obviats the delay that now constantly
arises by recurring many minor offences
TO be tried by indictment 1t ia a maxim
of law that the sooner the punishment
follows the crime the better aud more
effectual it Is. In this section the old
clause regarding being tried twice for the
same offence has been changed TO read;
mo person all be subject to- be put In
This IL thought to be a better rule as IL
conforms more closely To the common
maxim, and fully covers the case.
Section 10 of the present constitution,
regarding deprivinx person of life,
liberty or property has been transferred
to section IL, so that 1t may apply To all
persons. AS it now stands IL really APP
plies to criminals only. IL provides that
no person shall he deprived of life, libeIy
or property except by Judgment OF mis-
peers of the land. Section IL provides for
the payment for condemned land before
possession Ihe justice OF this is ap-
parent Heretofore 10 has often been
some time after land has been taken for
public or quasi-public purposes that the
owner has received his pay for IT,
Article 2, as revised. requires only one
years residence in this state for any
elector, otherwise qualified, TO qualify as
q voter. Ii requires the registration OF
all electors anu puts them all on the same
footing except as TO the requirements OF
q voter in elections of city councils or
any city. TO impose any tax or 10 make
expenditure of money. The property
qualification remains tha same, and it
is thought that very few will be affected
by the change except those who vote 10y
courtesy initiate. and probably most CT
those will have property enough so that
they can qualify In another way. 1he
simplificaiion of the article in this way
seemed desirable. Article also contains
a provision that no person who shall
hereafter attain the age OF III years or be-
come a citizen Of the United States, or
of this state, srTnii have The right te-vete
unless he can read the constitution In
English and writs his own name. except
from disability. It Is not retroactive
and does not affect any present voters,
and the reasonabeness Of the restriction
is evident

Article increases the number OF the

or town shall have more than one fourth

Article divides cities and towns enti-
tied to more than one representative into
as many districts as there are representa-
tives To be elected Ihs will result in n
fairer representation than by the present
method Of electing them at large on one
ticket
Article enlarRes the power of the
governor somewhat. He VIII no longer
preside over the Senate and viii lave "a
qualified power of veto. IL is thought
that this will be a judioious move anu
that it will have n salutary effect as n
safeguard over hasty legislation.
Article s proposes biennial instead OF
annual elections for general officers and
for the General Assembly, ana better
provides for tine occasion when there is n
failure To elect any candidate. or when "a
candidate dies, or refuses TO serve or Is
incapacitated, etc.
In article 10 changes are proposed
which will enable the General Assembly
10 confer equity po'~gs on other than
Supreme Courts, subject to appeal.
Article I3, in regard In amendments,
has been changed SO that the amendment
of the constitution shall require the ap-
proval of the proposed amendment by
two-thrds OF the members of the General
Assembly and by majority of the
electors
The second section provides for con-
vention To revise this con stitution, To he
chosen in 1910 and in every twentieth
year, If tho electors shall decide in favor
of such convention.
