through purchase effected by Mrs.
Spencer they procured a complete
copy o; the comparative index pre-
pared by that bureau. which is just
as valuable here, our library con.
tanning all OF the documents and
authorities quoted.
Indeed, IL Is more valuable here,
for our reference department is a
branch OF the library where the
books are kept. and under the same
management, which is not the case
10 Wisconsin. Their index scheme,
too, covers only FIVE or six leading
subjects, here it is enlarged to in
clude all subjects treated 10 consti-
tutions, so that any member OF our
convention desiring Information
about constitutional treatment OF
the liquor traffic, for instance. or
taxation OF corporations, or appoint
lnent and tenure OF judges. or con
troll OF banking, or any other sub
ject, can be speedily shown what
every state has put into its constitu-
tion on that subject; and more than
that, he can be referred to the dis
cussions and arguments where the
subject was debated in the conven-
tions of the various states, and to
theoretical treatment OF the matter
by reviewers and writer's in books
and magazines easily accessible in
the library; so that in some cases a
man may examine. If he cares to dc
so, more than hundred articles dis
cussing single feature Of constitu.
tional provision. Requests for this
information have been coming in
swarms from the delegates soon 10
assemble here.
The department has prepared three
bulletins, so-called, but they are con.
siderable volumes, putting some OF
this Information in shape for more
general use. 1t may interest the
reader TO know that Michigan does
more printing to give her people full
information Of the doings of their
state government than any other
state OF her rank in population and
rcsourses--m more pamphlet copies OF
laws than many half dozen states;
and any citizen can have for the ask
ing, a copy OF any act OF Importance
or Of any of the various bulletins OF
information, department and nsti.
tuition reports, etc, while in some
Of the states it has been difficult for
the reference department to procure
even one copy OF a constitution, and
impossible to procure the three cop
les needed for file and clipping. But
through the wise conception and
direction and the skill and industry
OF the reference department, and the
unrivaled resources OF our state
ibrary, the convention will have
ivailabe to its hand the complete
Information that any convention ha,
,een able to command, and there /.
