LIST OF TAYLOR'S BILLS PASSED

Senator Taylor, although in the
minority succeeded in passing eleven
bills through the Fifteenth General
the hands of Governor Mcdonald
awaiting his signature. To Senator
Taylor belongs the credit of securing
the only constitutional amendment
which reached the governor. This is
a bill providing for the use of voting
machines after the matter has been
approved by the people at the next
. election. All of Taylor's bills except
this constitutional amendment con
tain the emergency clause and will
become operative from the date when
the governor affixes his signature. A
complete list of the Taylor bills now
up to the governor is herewith ap-
pended.
S. b. No. 81. bill providing for
the submission of constitutional
amendment. allowing the use of vot-
ing machines in this state. This was
the only constitutional amendment
passed by the Legislature at this ses-
sion, and consequently the only one
that will be submitted to vote of
the people at the next general election
in the fall of 1906. Onr present Con
stitution provides for the use of paper
ballots and requires them to be num-
bered consecutively. So that section
of the Constitution has got to be
amended before we can lawfully use
voting machines in this state. If the
amendment is adopted. then any city
or county that desires to do so, can
purchase and use voting machine
in place of the present ballot system.
But the use of the machines is purely
optional. The amendment does not
require their use anywhere. Nearly
one half the state in the union have
within the past few years adopted
voting machines either through law,
or constitutional amendm ents. They
are used principally in the large cities
to prevent fraudulent voting.
