HOME RULE ARTICLE
TO Be REDRAFTED
Convention Sends Seth Lows
Plan Back to Cities
Committee.
MUST BE DONE THURSDAY

ALBANr, Aug. 16.-The home rule for
cities article was recommitted to Seth
Lows committee on cities by the Con
stitutional Convention to-day after the
convention had spent three days In a dts
cussion and analysis OF its provisions.
Half Of the delegates had views to sx-
press upon the article and their views
were 80 divergent that over " score
Of material amendments were offered.
Finally 1t was decided TO recommlt the
article and the amendments to the cities
committee with instructions to Chairman
Low to revise the article in accordance
with any OF the suggested amendments
which meet the views OF the committee
and that the amended article be reported
back TO the convention on Thursday.
There were many delegates who
seemed to think that the best solution OF
the homo rule problem was to incorporate
In the Constitution a provision giving the
Legislature broad powers to confer home
rule upon the cities as changed con-
ditions suggest There Is another plan
which meets with some favor which
includes the operation OF the above sug-
gestion after a city has been permitted
to draw Its W charter and submit II
10 a vote of the people withou, requiring
the charter to be also submitted to a
vote of the Legislature.
The quotations OF Almet r. Latson OF
Brooklyn from the remarks of Joseph
H.. Choate on the home rule question In
the Constitutional Convention OF 1894
received much consideration by the CON-
vention to-day. At that time Mr..
Choate said:
81 do not believe that the people OF
this State will ever consent, or ought to
be asked to consent, to abandon their
sovereignty over any division OF a city
In respect to any OF its affairs.
There are two evils to be avoided.
Ore is the abandonment of the power
o. the State over the city. The other
Is to prevent II we can constant, cause
less and unchecked interference with the
domestic affairs OF a city.
u have seen the day in the city OF
New York when in respect to their in
ternal affairs a prohibition by the Con-
st'tution upon the Legislature from in
terfering would have been destructive Of
the true interests OF the people OF the
city and therefore of the people OF the
State. ! think we need from time TO
time rescue by the Legislature"
Another attempt is to be made to put
tue CONSTITUTIONS convention on record
against the existing and future exemp-
tionc from taxation OF property Of
charitable. religious and educational In
stitutions. Last week the convention ad-
vanced to the order OF final passage the
tsxation article. which says:
thereafter no exemption from taxa
ton shall be granted except by general
laws and upon the affirmative vote Of
tvo-thirds OF all the members elected
IN each house"
Herman J. Westwood OF Fredonia to-
day gave notice In the convention that
he would move Tomorrow to change this
sentence to read
"No real property whatsoever. ex-
cept that of the United States, shall
hereafter be exempt from taxation, but
nothing herein contained shall be held
to impair the validity Of the existing
contracts OF the State
