NO SPECIAL LAWS.
Coming Legislature Will Be Unique in
One Particular.

Special laws" and local bills are
q thing of the past in Kansas This one
thing Will make the coming session of
the Kansas legislature memorable in
the history of the state.
The recent amendment to the con-
stitution of the state, adopted at the
last election, was the finish CT the local
bill. 1t makes it practically impossible
for the legislature to enact any special
legislation which Will stand the test of
the courts The amendment was intro
duced at the last session of the legisla-
ture by Speaker Pro Tenn Ansel r.
Clark of Rice county, who made sew
eral strong speeches in its behalf.
Judge Clark stated that if he could do
nothing else at that session of the leg
islature he would be satisfied with the
enactment of the resolution submitting
the amendment to the vote of the peo-
pie. The constitution in its amended
form reads as follows:
"All laws of general nature shall
have a uniform application through
cut the state, and in all cases where a
general law can be made applica bic,
no special law shall be enacted, and
whether or not a special law enacted
is repugnant to this provision of the
constitution shall be construed and
determined by the courts of the state. -

amendment and the constitution as
originally drawn is that it leaves it to
the courts to determine whether the
law is special or general Heretofore
the constitution has been silent on this
proposition, and the courts have con
strued that the Legislature is the sole
judge as to whether a law is general
or special. Hence the legislature was
left free to enact any kind of a law it
deemed best The result has been that
the calendar of the house and senate
has been overburdened with great
mass of local bills; bills to auth orize
a township to build bridge, to auth or
ize the vacation of city addition; to
authorize the construction of a court
house; to authorize almost anything
which any particular locality of the
state took notion it wanted. When
it is doubtful whether a bond PROPOSE
ton would carry it has been custom
airy to come to the legislature for au
thority to vote bonds.
Assistant Attorney General John
Dawson of Hill City said today in
speaking of the new amendment: The
result WIZ of course be the elimination
OF local bills at the coming session of
the Legislature. and them EN- bers of the
legislature will have to devote more
time to the .perfecting and polishing Of
the general laws now on the statute
books. 1t will result in getting up bet
ter general laws, and save a lot of
time, expense ands.bother in the enact
ment of local bills.

The total vote for 1905, 1873, 500 is one
of the largest ever thrown in Maine. In
1884, l47, LOT votes were cast and the
fusion plurality was 226 This was the
banner year After that the vote fell
off to 1873, 748, when the republicans had
plurality of $500. Once every ten
years there has been gain in democra
tic voting followed always by republican
gains next year. In 1870 the republican
plurality was only 5000 In 1880, fusion
carried the State. In 1890, the plurality
was Is 800
The smallest vote ever cast in Maine
was in 1873, only S0,953
In 1893, IS, 900 voters did not go to the
polls
Maine's normal republican majority
is 10000.
In the next Maine legislature the dem.
ocrats will have little over a quarter of
the Senate, or % per cent. of the full
Senate of 81, and considerably more than
a third of the House, or 307 per cent of
the full House of ISL. With such a
strong representation they will have
plenty of material for minority places
on the committees and should be able
to hold up such bills as the Somerset R
X bill and to keep up their end in the
debates and make things lively for the
majority.
