S|MPuH|ED LAWS
URGED FOR STATE
hElNTz DEMANDS CONSTITUTION
AND STATUTES PEOPLE CAN
UNDERSTAND.
SHOULD NOT AMEND ACTS
viii Exert Every Effort towards
Writing Into Constitution Law tS-
empting NewIy-CIeared Lands FOR
a Period of Ten Years.

Coyington. La. - One of the I'M
nortant duties of the constitutional
Convention, according to f. j. Helntz'
delegate from St Tammany parish, is
To insert a provision in the new or
Ranic law requiring that each act Oh
the Legislature shall stand on its own
merit.
81 believe" Mr.. Heintz said, that
each act OF the Legislature should
stand on its own merit. We should
have no act amending and re-enact1ng
an act that is amended and re-enacted
b avn act amending and re1amending'
etc. This would very much simpiliy
matters and reduce the work OK the
courts.
THE Dunbar kidnapping case IL
illustrates the necessity for such pro-
vision in the constitution. Walters,
who was convicted of kidnapping Bob
by Dunbar at Opelousas, went Tree
because the Legislature, in amending
an act, overlooked an act that had
been amended and re-enacted, etc.
When the case got to the Supreme
Court It was reversed on account OF
the error OF the Legislature, which, In
effect had mixed things up so there
was no law to cover the case or wal
ters. Whether Walters was guilty or
not guilty is not question at issue
now. The question is whether the
state shall run the risk of being dis
credited by such performance In the
future There are others besides the
Walters case that can be cited to show
the necessity for such provision In
the constitution. Every lawyer knows
this to be true.
Il do believe that any statute law
should be embodied in the constitu-
ton. The Legislature should be given
the responsibility of carrying out the
intent OF the constitution by acts that
are almost as simple and brief as the
constitution itself. For instance take
article 233 of the present constitution
dc. liz ~. -, the eHl % property FOR
non-payment Of taxes. This article
contains forty-eight lines with an av'
erag OF twelve words to line. The
more you read this article, as In the
case with Shakespearean works and
the Bible the more you can find in It.
In m yopinion, the present article
could be covered by the following;
"Article 233. There shall be nc
forfeiture OF property for non-pay
ment Of taxes. The state, parishes
and municipalities. through proper OF
ficials. shall have the right to sell as
sessed propert for non-payment' OF
taxes. The Legislature shall pass acts
regulating the terms stipulations and
conditions of all tax sales

ception of draughtsmanship or Egypt

develop into remarkable drawings OF
Egyptian symbolism. Mrs. Field Is to
