Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1900-11-17

adopted concurrent resolution for the
repeal OF this section, and ordered that
it be submitted to the people at the
election in 1894. If it was submitted,
there IS no report of the result in the
office of Secretary of State. No report
was made to the Legislature; no refer
enoe to it by Governor Stone in his mes
sage; and therefore "the next succeed
ing Legislature did not take tie action
indicated by Section 213. Unless Sec
ton is stricken out State census
must be taken in 1905. We cannot see
how this section can be ignored and sci
aside by another amendment voted pro-
vlding for new legislative apportion-
ment by the Legislature "at its first
session after the Federal census of 1900,
and decennially thereafter" Section
lO5 should be repealed, if for no other
reason than the enormous and unneces-
scry expense of a State census every
five years after Federal census. Bat
if it is to remain in the Constitution, il
is imperative on the Legislature to
order the census.
