Whereas, On yesterday afternoon, Almighty God out of his infinite prov¬ idence called from his earthly labors to the better life our fellow-worker and member, the Hon. Edward C. Curtis, a Delegate to this Constitutional Con¬ vention from the Twentieth Senatorial district and a resident of Grant Park, in the county of Kankakee, and, Whereas, We recall that more than fourteen years ago, Senator Curtis introduced in the legislature a resolution to call a Constitutional Convention which he believed would result in giving to the people of the State of Illi¬ nois, wider liberties and a better government, and ever afterward used his efforts and experience to procure the adoption of a resolution providing for such Convention; and due to his efforts more than to the efforts of any other individual this Convention was called, organized and is now assem¬ bled, and, Whereas, We realize that by his death we have lost one whose rare ability, broad judgment and high purposes were conceded by all who knew him, one who wise counsels we have sought, and one whose life his con¬ stituents honored by calling him to positions of high responsibility and trust; and, Whereas, In his private life, Senator Curtis was a man among men, clear and pure in thought, in word and in deed, always upholding all that was good, beautiful and true; that as a member of the General Assembly of Illinois for more than a quarter of a century, he leaves behind him a record of accomplishment that no other legislator of his time has excelled, fearless in the discharge of his duty, courageous in the advocacy of public measures, indefatigable and tactful in his labors, he has left an indelible impress upon the legislation and administration of this State, his name 116 JOURNAL OF THE [Mar. 9, being identified with all of the constructive measures enacted in this State during the last quarter of a century. Public clamor and unjust and unfair criticism never swerved him from the assertion and promotion of measures which he deemed to be fair, just and true. Amiable in disposition, lovable in character, steadfast in friendship, he endeared himself to his friends both in public and private life. Therefore, be it Resolved, That this Convention express its deep regret at the loss of one of its most useful and honored members, and at the loss to the people of the State of Illinois and to his community of one of its best citizens and ablest statesmen, and that it extends its heartfelt sympathy to the members of the bereaved family; and, be it further Resolved, That a committee of fifteen members be appointed by the President to represent the Convention at the funeral; that this preamble and resolution be entered on the Journal of the Convention; that a suitably engrossed copy thereof be forwarded to the family, and as a further mark of respect to his memory that the Convention do now adjourn. In seconding the adoption of the resolution appropriate remarks were made by Messrs. Shanahan, Hull, Traeger, Wall, Barr, Gale and Coolley. The resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote; and, in accordance therewith, at the hour of 11:35 o’clock a. m., the Convention stood adjourned.

The report of the Committee was ordered printed, and to lie on the table. To the Honorable, the Delegates of the Constitutional Convention: Your Committee, to whom was referred Article Twelve (12) of the Con¬ stitution of 1870, have given careful study to each and every provision thereof and after much discussion and with the help and advise of those who have been in military authority in State affairs for the last decade, we have con¬ cluded that the first five sections of said article are understood, applicable and easily workable. Section Six (6) seems to have outlived its original purpose and outworn its usefulness. At the time that section was adopted, there was probably some potent reason for it. The experience of mankind through the world- war has demonstrated the fact that there are men who sincerely have con¬ scientious scruples against bearing arms, hence we have submitted a sub- 118 JOUENAL OP THE [Mar. 10, stitute providing that such man may serve in any capacity declared by the Commander-in-Chief to be non-combatant. The substitute provision submit¬ ted requires of each man a contribution of personal service and eliminates his possibility of employing anyone else to serve for him.

Such comparison will be made by your committee on the final reference. The draft of the Article now under consideration which same to your Com* 190 JOURNAL OF THE mittee on Phraseology and Style has been compared with the existing Con¬ stitution, as it appears in a copy printed under the authority of the State in 1917.

The method of voting and the form of ballots to be used at such election shall be prescribed by law. If at any such election a majority of the electors of said county voting at such election 'shall by their votes express their disapproval of any such judge, his office shall, after the expiration of ninety days therefrom become vacant, and he shall be ineligible to appointment as a judge of said court for a period of six years thereafter.

Edward J. Brundage, Attorney General. File No. 10620. Constitutional Convention—Proposal on Ratification of Amendments to Federal Constitution. Honorable Charles E. Woodward, President, Constitutional Convention of 1920, Springfield, Illinois. Dear Sir: Your letter of December 2 informs me that the Constitu¬ tional Convention has, by resolution, requested the opinion of the Attorney General on the constitutionality of Proposal No. 382, reading as follows: 292 JOURNAL OF THE [Dec. S. “Whenever the Congress of the United States shall by appropriate resolution, propose an amendment to the Federal Constitution, such resolution shall be filed and remain in the office of the Governor until after the members of the next General Assembly shall have been elected. “When pursuant to law and this election, the General Assembly shall have been organized, the Governor shall present such resolution and proposed amendment for consideration.” Article V of the Constitution of the United States provides two methods, and only two, of ratifying a proposed amendment thereof—ratification by legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three- fourths thereof. The language of the first paragraph of said Proposal applies to either method and the plain effect is to prevent ratification of such proposed amendment, either by convention or by legislature “until after the members of the next General Assembly shall have been elected.” The second paragraph of said Proposal requires the Governor to present such proposed amendment and the resolution of Congress proposing same, to the “next General Assembly” for consideration, after it shall have been organized pursuant to law. This paragraph requires submission of the pro¬ posed amendment to the legislature, notwithstanding that Congress may provide for ratification by conventions instead of by legislatures. While it may be doubted whether this paragraph prohibits the Governor from sub¬ mitting such resolution and proposed amendment to a convention (when ratification by conventions is the method proposed by Congress), it certainly doe's not authorize the Governor so to do. In case ratification by conventions is proposed by Congress, leaving the states to provide for the assembling of such conventions, still the General Assembly in existence or in session at the time when such amendment is proposed by Congress is precluded by this Proposal from considering the resolution of Congress, even to the extent of providing for the assembling of such convention. It is not wholly irrelevant to remark that the meaning of the words “next General Assembly” is somewhat uncertain. Do these words mean, the next General Assembly whose members are elected after the passage of such resolution of Congress, or do they mean, the first General Assembly which convenes and organizes after the passage of such resolution? In Hawke v. Smith, U. S. Supreme Court (decided June 1, 1920), 40 Sup Ct. Rep. 495, the court had under consideration the validity of a pro¬ vision in the State Constitution of Ohio which, in substance, prevented the legislature of that 'state from ratifying a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution, except in accordance with the will of the voters of that state expressed in a referendum election on the question of ratification thereof. The court decided: - x That ratification by a legislature of a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution is not an act of legislation within the proper use of the word, but the expression of the assent of the state to the proposed amendment. . , , , , That the power of a 'state legislature to ratify a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution is not derived from the people of the. state, but has its source in such Constitution. That it is not a function of the state to alter the method of ratifying a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution which the Constitution has fixed. That the Constitution provides only two methods of ratification of a proposed amendment thereof, one by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states, the other by conventions in three-fourths thereof, as Congress may That a state has no authority to require the submission of the ratifica¬ tion of a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution to a referendum under the 'state Constitution. , The Proposal now under discussion does not contemplate any methoa cf ratifying a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution different 1920.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 293 from that provided by the Federal Constitution. Said Proposal does not deal with the method of ratification. The evident purpose of this Proposal is to afford the people of this State an opportunity to consider such pro¬ posed amendment and to choose the members of their legislature in view of the impending question of ratification thereof, which such members must consider. The practical effect of this Proposal, should it become part of the State Constitution, is that the people of Illinois prohibit their Legislature existing at the time of the passage of the act of Congress proposing such amendment, from ratifying or even considering the same. The Federal Supreme Court holds that the power to ratify is not conferred by the people of the State but by the Constitution of the United States. It seems reason¬ able to conclude that the power of ratification cannot be restricted in any way by the people of the State, and the Proposal here in question does, in substance and effect, restrict the power of the Legislature conferred upon it by the Federal Constitution. I think it may be strongly argued on the basis of the opinion in the Hawke case, that the Constitution commits to the Legislature itself the power to determine for itself, and free from restric¬ tion or limitation imposed by State authority, what consideration, and the time and manner thereof, it shall give to a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution, or to a resolution of Congress proposing the same. I have been unable to find that the validity of such a provision has been passed upon by the Federal courts, but in the adoption of a recent amend¬ ment by one of the states the validity of a similar provision in its Consti¬ tution has been strongly asserted. In the absence of definite judicial ex¬ pression, I hesitate to express a definite opinion on the validity of this Proposal, but I feel constrained to say that there is at least a strong prob¬ ability that said Proposal is repugnant to the Constitution of the United States. Very truly yours, Edward J. Brundage, Attorney General. At the hour of 11:20 o’clock a. m., Mr. Hamill moved that the Convention do now adjourn. The motion prevailed. And in accordance with the resolution, heretofore adopted, the Con¬ vention stood adjourned until the first Tuesday in September, A. D. 1921, at 10:00 o’clock a. m. 294 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept, G, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1921, 10:00 O'CLOCK A. M. The Convention met pursuant to adjournment. The President presiding.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 351, being a Proposal entitled Suffrage and Elections. Section 1 . The reference draft departs in five particulars from the Constitution of 1870. 1. The section there appears in a single sentence, while in the ref¬ erence draft it is phrased in two sentences. 2. The section there contains a provision with reference to persons who had the right to vote prior to 1848, which is omitted in the refer¬ ence draft. 3. The guarantee of suffrage to persons naturalized m any couit of record is eliminated. # a 4. A provision is added requiring residence in the United States for five years, except in the case of a person naturalized because of mili¬ tary service. 5. The word “male” is omitted. • The section in the reference draft contains the following require¬ ments : 1st. Citizenship in the United States. . i n . 2nd. Residence of (a) thirty days in the election district, (b) ninety days in the county, and (c) one year in the State. . 3rd. ” The residence must be next preceding the election. 4th. The elector must be over 21 years of age. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 297 5th. Residence in the United States for five years—unless natural¬ ized within that time because of service in the military or naval forces. In section 7 of the reference draft the qualifications for voting are further limited. There it is provided that no person (unless lestoied to civil rights) shall be “entitled to the privilege of an elector” who is: 6th. An idiot. 7th. Adjudged insane. 8th. Convicted of infamous crime. Inasmuch as sections 1 and 7 deal with the same subject mattei. they should be consolidated. . The two sections characterize the right of suffrage in three diiiei- ent ways; namely, (a) qualified electors, (b) persons entitled to vote, and (c) persons entitled to the privilege of an elector. Each oi these three phrases in the reference draft is intended to mean the same thing but the} r are susceptible of different meanings. Where the person en¬ titled to the privilege or franchise of voting is described, the noun “qualified elector” seem to your committee the best expression. Where the meaning intended is that, although a person may be a qualified elec ¬ tor, he shall be entitled to vote only in a particular precinct, youi com¬ mittee believes the best expression is “may vote only.” There seems to vour committee no occasion for a third classification, and according } the phrase “persons entitled to the privilege of an elector has been ^ There are really two kinds of residence referred to. First, the resi¬ dence which is required of a qualified voter as such, including residence in the State for one year, and in the United States for five years; second, the residence which determines where a “qualified voter” may vote, i. e., residence in the county and election district for ninety and thirty days respectively. The first goes to the right to vote at all, the second only to the place at which the ballot may be cast. The two kinds of residence should be differentiated, and your committee has distinguished them m • its- draft. . , , , • The phrase “infamous crime” is difficult to construe. As used in the present Constitution the words have three possible meanings, t ie.\ may describe crimes which are made infamous, (1) by common law, ( ) by the statutes in force in 1870, or (3) by statute law as it may change from time to time. It cannot be said which of these meanings was in¬ tended by the Constitution of 1870. Furthermore the General Assembly has defined an “infamous crime” in one way in the criminal code (Hurd s Revised Statutes 1917, Chapter 38, Section 279), and in another way m the election laws. (Hurd’s Revised Statutes, 1917, Chapter 4b, Sec¬ tion 70). An infamous crime, as that term is usually understood, is equivalent to a felony, and a felony is generally described as a crime punishable by imprisonment in the State penitentiary. It should be noted that in the Constitution of 1870 the General Assembly was di¬ rected to exclude from the suffrage, persons convicted of infamous crimes. The Committee of the Whole has changed this provision from a mandate to the General Assembly, to a self-executing disfranchisement of persons convicted of such crimes. It is assumed by your committee that m mak¬ ing this change, the Committee of the Whole did not intend to deny is 298 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. (), power of the General Assembly to change from time to time the defini¬ tion of “infamous crime” and thus determine who may be excluded from the franchise under this provision. Such construction appears to be logical and necessary for two reasons. First, because the General Assembly necessarily has the power to control the definition of felonies or infamous crimes, since that body has the power to determine what crimes shall be punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary; and second, because, in the nature of things, the term “infamous crimes” must be an elastic one to meet changing times and conditions. Under a literal construction of the Constitution of 1870 idiots and persons adjudged insane apparently were not denied the right to vote. The Supreme Court however, has recognized that by common law prin¬ ciples such persons cannot vote. (Behrensmeyer v. Kreitz, 135 UL 591, 1891; Welsh v. Shumwmj, 232 Ill. 54, 1908). The section as adopted by the Convention and as redrafted by your Committee con¬ forms to the policy announced in these decisions. The question has arisen as to whether or not the first section of the article on suffrage in the constitution of 1870 makes unconstitutional an absentee voting law. There is such a law in Illinois but its constitu¬ tionality has never been tested. At the time it was passed the Attorney General expressed some doubt as to its validity under this section. (Re¬ port, Attorney General, 1918, pp. 300, 345). The changes recommended by your committee are intended to remove this doubt. Under Section 1 of the Constitution of 1870 it is not necessary that a person should have resided in the State, county and district for the requisite periods after he became a citizen. A person having the necessary qualifications could vote the day after he became naturalized. Your committee understands that there was no intention on the part of the Convention to alter this rule by changing the phrase “every person * * * having resided” to the words “every citizen * * * having resided.” Nor does your committee intend any change in this construction by the language recommended. Section 2. This section of the reference draft has been made Section 3 of this report and no change is suggested. Section 3. This section has been made Section 4 of your com¬ mittee’s report. In the Constitution of 1818 this section contained only the first sentence. In 1848 the first and second sentences of the reference draft appeared as separate sections and the same form was adopted in the rejected Constitution of 1862. The Convention of 1870 combined the two sections. In the first sentence the verb “be privileged” is separated from the auxiliary “shall” by several words, making the sentence difficult to read. The use of the adjective “same” as a pronoun is objectionable for reasons heretofore stated. Your committee believes that the exception “for treason, felony or breach of the peace” can more easily be comprehended if placed at the beginning of the sentence. The second sentence is doubtless intended to protect the suffrage of persons in the military service of the State, rather than of the United States. Obviously the State of Illinois could not, by its Constitution, CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 299 1921.] cr-uarantee the soldiers in the service of the Federal Government the right to vote. Yonr committee has therefore substituted the word “militia for the* word “military” thus restoring the wording used prior to 1870. The sentence has been otherwise rephrased with some economy of words. Sections 4 and 5 combined. These sections of the reference draft have been combined in Section 2 of this report for the reason that they are concerned with the same subject matter. The new section has been renumbered since it logically follows Section 1. is the substantive used generally throughout the article and for the further reason that a person who has lost his residence 1 cannot be con¬ sidered an “elector.” ,, . _ . The word “voting” has been added before the word residence to insure that the rule laid down is a rule for determining the residence necessary in order to vote, and not a rule for determining residence for other purposes such as divorce or attachment. The word “service” as used in your committee’s draft includes both “business” and “military or naval service.” Section 6. This section of the reference draft becomes Section 5 of this report. The reference draft leaves some doubt whether a person would be eligible to office whose one year of residence was completed after his elec¬ tion but before he assumed office. This has always been a moot ques¬ tion and has frequently been litigated with varying results. (See Article by Floyd R. Mechem in 1 Michigan Law Rev. p. 17). Your committee believes that the Convention intends to require an eligible officer rather than an eligible candidate and has therefore changed the words to read “no person shall hold any office.”. Section 7. This section of the reference draft has been discussed in Section 1 of this report. Section 8. This section becomes Section 6 of your committee's draft. It is a new section. If it is analyzed, it will be found to contain the following ideas: x 1 J , , , 1. It applies to all regular final elections, (a) whether created by the Constitution, or (b) created by law. 2. All elections shall occur on a single day in each year. 3. The same provisions shall apply to special elections and general elections, except as otherwise provided by the Constitution. . 4. But the General Assembly may change the provisions ot this section upon certain conditions; (a) after January 1, 1927, (b) by general law, (c) concurred in by two-thirds of the membeis electee o each house. Since the section is essentially a limitation on the General Assembly it seems best to phrase the section directly as a limitation, rather than in the indirect form of the reference draft. The clause “offices created by the Constitution or which may be created by law” was doubtless inserted to overcome the effect of the case of Scown v. Czamecki, 264 Ill. 305, 1914. An additional section (Section 9) has been added by your committee because this case holds JOURNAL OF THE 300 i). in effect that this entire article has no application to statutory elections. This section will be discussed later. The phrase “except as otherwise provided in this Constitution* 5 seems unnecessary. The section is in the form of a general provision as to elections and as such will be controlled by any inconsistent special provision in the Constitution. Section 10 of the reference draft concerning holidays has been in¬ corporated in this section for the purpose of brevity. A day declared by law to be a “holiday 55 is necessarily a “legal holiday. 55 The last part of this section in the reference draft referring to special elections, has been dropped. If all elections are required to be held on the day specified, special elections to fill vacancies are included. This is clearly indicated by the next section. Section 9. This section of the reference draft is Section 7 in the draft recommended by your committee. This section also is new with this Convention. If analyzed it will be found to contain the following elements: 1. Vacancies in elective offices shall be filled by election, except when the period of vacancy would be less than one year. 2. Whenever a vacancy is to be filled by an election, the election shall not occur within 90 days after the vacancy. 3. The period up to the time when the person elected qualifies may he filled by appointment. 4. There shall be no election if the unexpired term is for less than one year. 5. All vacancies not filled by election as thus provided shall be filled by the appointing power. As it appears in the reference draft this section might lead to an unfortunate result. If an officer died on August 15, 1920, while holding an office for a term expiring December 1, 1921, no election of a successor could be held in November, 1920, but would be held in November, 1921, and the successor then elected would hold office barely three weeks. Your committee has rephrased the section to avoid this result and to retain its full meaning. Section 10. This section of the reference draft is included in Sec¬ tion 6 of the draft of your committee. Section 11. This section is Section 8 in the draft of your com¬ mittee. Your committee has many times called attention to the prin¬ ciple that a provision of the Constitution affecting the General Assembly must be construed as a limitation and not as a grant of power. It will therefore be seen that this section could only hamper the General As¬ sembly in passing a compulsory voting law. Thus the words “by all persons possessing such right 55 might prevent the General Assembly from exempting from a compulsory voting law persons sick or physically unable to vote. Again the use of the word “full 55 might render invalid any com¬ pulsory voting law which did not compel the voter to vote for all officers and upon all issues and to do this at ever} r election. In other words this section might be held to require the compulsory voting law to denv 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 301 a voter’s discretion in voting—as for example in refusing to vote for either of two equally bad candidates. > . . x . Your committee has made but two minor changes m this seeu on. The words “right of suffrage” have been shortened to lead su lage because the term “suffrage” means the right or privilege of voting. (Oxford Dictionary). The words “persons possessing such rignt ha\e been changed to read “persons entitled to vote.” A new section. In commenting on Section 8 of the reference drat, attention has been called to Section 9 of your committee’s draft. In the case of Plummer v. Yost, 144 Ill. 68, 1893, and in Scown v CzarnecU, 264 Ill 305, 1914, the Supreme Court held that the word election as used in Section 1 of Article 7 of the Constitution of 1810 did not include statutory elections. Such a construction affects the entire article as well as the first section. (See dissenting opinion m the latter case). The debates of this Convention indicate clearly that it was the linent.ou to override this construction. In the judgment of your committee the most effective way to do this is by adding another section. . The report of vour committee here presented has been submitter to and approved by the chairman of the Committee on Suffrage and Elections. Report No. 8.

Except as expressly limited by law the city of Chicago is hereby granted and declared to possess full and complete powers of local self-government and corporate action for all municipal purposes. The city may assess and collect taxes and borrow money for corporate pur¬ poses only as authorized by law. Section 1. Except as expressly prohibited by law, the city of Chi¬ cago is hereby declared to possess, for all municipal purposes, full and complete power of local self-govein- ment and corporate action. Until otherwise provided by charter these powers shall be exercised by or in accordance with city ordinances. The city may impose taxes and borrow money only as authorized by law. JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6. 802 Section 2. Charter Convention. The legislative authority of the city of Chicago may provide for the call¬ ing of an elective convention to frame a city charter, or to amend any existing charter, and the power here¬ by granted shall be a continuing power. The question whether a con¬ vention shall be called shall be sub¬ mitted at an election held prior to the election for delegates. The char¬ ter framed by the convention and all amendments thereof, proposed as provided therein, shall be submitted to and adopted by the voters of the city in the manner provided by the convention. The election laws of the State and the powers and duties ex¬ isting thereunder may, by the legis¬ lative authority of the city, or by the convention, be made available for the purpose of the charter. The General Assembly may enact further election laws in aid of this section. Provisions of the charter, or of amendments of or additions to the charter, or ordinances passed in pur¬ suance thereof, which relate to the organization of the government of the city, to the distribution of powers among its official agencies or to the tenure and compensation of its offi¬ cials shall prevail over the statutes of the State in conflict therewith. In other matters the charter or ordi¬ nances passed thereunder shall con¬ form to the State law. A certified copy of said charter or any amendment thereto shall be filed with the Secretary of State within thirty days after its adoption by ref¬ erendum vote and shall not take effect until so filed. Rates of compensation, as well as conditions of appointment and pro¬ motion in the civil service of the city shall be determined according to a general plan, which shall recog¬ nize merit and fitness as controlling principles. Section 3. Eminent Domain. The city of Chicago shall have power to condemn private property (including public utilities and the privileges or licenses held in connection there¬ with) for public use in accordance with law. The power to condemn property lying outside of the corpor¬ ate limits shall be determined by law. Section 2. The legislative au¬ thority of the city, from time to time, may submit to the voters a proposal to call a convention to frame a city charter. Upon approval of the pro¬ posal by a majority 'of those voting thereon, the legislative authority of the city may provide for an election of delegates to such convention. The charter and all amendments (which shall be made only as provided there¬ in) shall be submitted to the voters in such manner as the convention or charter provides. The State elec¬ tion laws and the powers and duties existing thereunder shall be available for the purposes of this section; and further election laws may be passed in its aid. Provisions of the charter and its amendments and of all ordinances passed thereunder regulating the or¬ ganization of the city government, the division of power among its official agencies and the tenure and compensation of its officers and em¬ ployees, shall prevail over State laws in conflict therewith. In other re¬ spects the charter and ordinances passed thereunder shall not be in conflict with State laws. Neither the charter nor its amend¬ ments, nor ordinances passed there¬ under, shall impair the rights con¬ cerning civil service appointments, promotions or removals secured by the present laws. Before a charter or any amend¬ ment thereof takes effect a copy shall be filed with the Secretary of State. Section 3. In the exercise of the power of eminent domain by the city of Chicago, public utilities and their privileges and licenses shall be con¬ sidered private property. 1921.] COXSTITUTIOXAL COXYEXTIOX. Section 4. Public Utilities. The power of the city to own, acquire, construct, operate or let or lease for operation public utilities, or to sell the same or the product or serv¬ ice thereof, shall not be denied by law, but may be reasonably regulated by general law. Section 5. The city shall be auth¬ orized to join with any other munici¬ pality, in such manner as may be provided by law, for the joint con¬ struction of local improvements, pub¬ lic utilities or other local services. Section 6. Special Legislation and Local Consent. The General Assem¬ bly may enact local or special laws relating to the governmental affairs of the city of Chicago, but such laws shall not become effective until con¬ sented to by the city. A law which at the time of its enactment is ap¬ plicable to the governmental affairs of no other city than the'city of Chi¬ cago shall be deemed a local or special law. Section 7. The consent of the city shall also be required for the crea¬ tion or for the enlargement of any municipal corporation (other than a county) exercising taxing powers in any part of the city of Chicago or for the increase of the taxing powers of any such municipal corporation hereafter created or enlarged. Section 8. The consent of the city, whenever required by this Constitu¬ tion, shall be expressed by ordinance, and the General Assembly, the city council or the charter may, in' addi¬ tion, require the submission of the proposition to the voters of the city. Any ordinance consenting to the cre¬ ation, enlargement or consolidation of taxing bodies as provided in this article shall not take effect until ninety days after its enactment, and if within that period either one-third of the members of the legislative authority of the city or five thousand voters demand its submission to popular vote, it shall not take effect until submitted to the voters in ac¬ cordance with law and approved by a majority of those voting upon the question. Section 4. The General Assembly shall not deny, but by general law may reasonably regulate, the power of the city to own, acquire, construct, operate, sell, lease or let public util- ties or to sell the product or service thereof. Section 5. The city may join, as provided by law, with any municipal corporation for the construction of local improvements or public utili¬ ties or the operation of other local services. Section 6.

If a law is applicable, when enacted, to the municipal affairs of the city of Chicago only, it is a local or special law. Section 7. Unless the city con¬ sents, no municipal corporation (other than a county) exercising taxing powers within the city shall be created or enlarged; nor shall the taxing power of any such corpor¬ ation hereafter created or enlarged be increased without such consent. Section 8. The consent of the city, whenever prescribed by this Consti¬ tution, shall be expressed by ordi¬ nance, but the General Assembly, the City Council or the charter may prescribe in addition the approval of such ordinance by a majority of the voters voting on the question. Any ordinance consenting to the cre¬ ation, enlargement or consolidation of taxing authorities shall not take effect until ninety days after its enactment, and if within that period either one-third of the City Council or five thousand voters petition the City Council to submit the ordinance to popular vote, it shall not take effect until it is approved at an elec¬ tion by a majority of 'those voting on the question. 304 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. G, Section 9. Consolidation. Munici¬ palities Wholly Within the City and Overlapping Townships. The char¬ ter framed by an elective convention as herein authorized, may provide for the consolidation (in whole or in part) with the City of Chicago, of any or all of the municipal corpor¬ ations and local governments, boards or authorities exercising taxing- powers or any powers of government confined to the territory now or here¬ after embraced within the limits of the city of Chicago. The charter so framed may also provide that where any township embraces territory partly within and partly without the present or future limits of the city, the part within the city shall be de¬ tached from such township and con¬ solidated with the city. Any munici¬ pal corporation, local government, board or authority consolidated with the city shall be abolished and the city shall assume all the debts and liabilities and succeed to all the rights and property thereof. In case township government shall be con¬ solidated with the city, the powers of township officers, insofar as they relate to the collection of taxes, shall be exercised by the county treasurer, until otherwise provided by law. Section 10. Consolidation of Sani¬ tary District and of Forest Preserve District. The charter may also pro¬ vide for the consolidation of the gov¬ ernment of the sanitary district of Chicago and of the forest preserve district of Cook County, or of either, with the government of the city of Chicago. Such consolidation shall, as regards each of said districts, be submitted as a separte proposition to the voters of the entire district and shall not become effective unless the vote in its favor shall be cast by a majority of the voters of the dis¬ trict as well as by a majority of the city, voting upon the question. The charter shall prescribe the manner and fix the time of submitting such proposition to a vote. If such propo¬ sition shall fail to be approved at any election, it may thereafter be resub¬ mitted from time to time in such manner as the charter may prescribe. It shall be the duty of all election officials responsible for conducting elections within either of said dis¬ tricts or any part thereof, to submit such proposition to the voters thereof Section 9. The charter framed by the Convention may provide for the consolidation with the,city of any or all municipal corporations, local governments, boards or other author¬ ities which exercise powers confined to the limits of the city. The char¬ ter may also detach and consolidate with the city that part of any town¬ ship which lies within the limits of the city. The city shall thereupon succeed to all the powers, property and liabilities of the authority so consolidated with it, and thereupon such authority shall be abolished. Until otherwise provided by law the county treasurer shall collect the taxes in townships or parts thereof consolidated with the city. Section 10. The charter may pro¬ vide for the consolidation of the Sanitary District of Chicago and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, or either of them, with the city. No such consolidation shall be made until it is approved by a ma¬ jority of those voting on the question in the district and in the city. The proper election officers shall submit such proposition to the voters as directed by the charter. All powers, property and liabilities of either dis¬ trict so consolidated shall devolve upon the city, but the city shall exercise no taxing power over terri¬ tory beyond its limits, by virtue of such consolidation. Section 10%. The word charter as used in the two preceding sections includes any amendment. The ques¬ tion of consolidation shall be sub¬ mitted to be voted on separately from the question of adopting the charter and the charter may provide for resubmitting the question from time to time. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION. 305 in accordance with the provisions of the charter. Upon such consolidation becoming effective, the title to and the control and management of all the property then held by the district thus con¬ solidated shall be vested in the city, and- the city shall have all powers and assume all debts and liabilities of the district, but shall exercise no taxing powers over territory outside of the city limits by virtue of such consolidation. The word “charter”, as used in this section and the preceding section, shall be construed to include any amendment thereof and the power of consolidation hereby granted shall be deemed to be a continuing power. Section 11. After consolidation of the sanitary district and until other¬ wise provided by law, the city shall continue bo furnish to the inhabitants of the territory within the district as constituted at the time of the con¬ solidation, but lying beyond the pres¬ ent or future limits of the city, with¬ out cost or expense to them or to the municipalities within such territory, sewage disposal service bo the extent furnished to them by the district at that time. The General Assembly shall have no power to enlarge the obligation thereby assumed by the city except to require the city to furnish to the inhabitants of the municipalities in such territory, or any part thereof, at their own cost and expense additional or increased service for sewage disposal purposes. All duties or obligations imposed by law at the time of such consolidation for the benefit of the inhabitants of such territory, or any part thereof, upon the city or sanitary district with respect bo other forms of service shall be assumed by the city unless it shall be relieved thereof by the General Assembly. Section 12. Tax Rate After Con¬ solidation. After consolidation in whole or in part, and until a new tax rate shall have been established by law, the city may levy, in addi¬ tion to the annual general tax on the property then authorized to be levied, an annual tax equal to the amount of the taxes caused bo be extended upon the collector’s warrants in the year last preceding the consolidation by the taxing authorities so consoli¬ dated with the city. —20 C J Section 11. After such consolida¬ tion of the Sanitary District, and until otherwise provided by law, the city shall furnish without charge sewage disposal service beyond its limits in the territory of the district as constituted at the time of consoli¬ dation, but only to the extent then furnished by the district. The Gen¬ eral Assembly shall not enlarge this obligation of the city but may require it to furnish increased sew¬ age disposal service to the inhabi¬ tants or municipalities in such terri¬ tory at their expense. Obligations for other forms of service in such territory imposed by law upon the district or the city at the time of consolidation shall be assumed by the city until it is relieved there¬ from by the General Assembly. Section 12. After any consolida¬ tion, and until a new tax rate is fixed by law, the city may levy, in addition to the annual tax then au¬ thorized to be levied, an annual tax equal to the amount of taxes caused to be extended by the authorities so consolidated, upon the collector’s warrants in the year last preceding the consolidation.

The foregoing pro¬ visions concerning consolidation shall not affect the right of the city, acting through the city council, or otherwise, to avail itself of the pro¬ visions of an Act entitled An Act to consolidate in the government of the city of Chicago the powers and functions now vested in local govern¬ ments and authorities within the territory of said city and to make provision concerning the same , ap¬ proved June 29th, 1915, oi any amendment thereof. Section 14. Legislative Consolida¬ tion. The General Assembly may provide additional or alternative methods for the consolidation of local governments with the city of Chicago, subject to the consent of the city. Section 15. Debt Limit After Con- solidation. The city of Chicago, in the event of any one or more of the municipal corporations lying wholly or partly within said city becoming consolidated therewith, and in the event of said city becoming liable for the indebtedness of any such municipal corporations, may become indebted to an amount (including its existing indebtedness and the indeb¬ tedness of all municipal corporations lying wholly within the limits of said city, and said city’s propor¬ tionate share of the indebtedness of the County of Cook, the Forest Pre¬ serve District of Cook County, and the Sanitary District of Chicago) in the aggregate not exceeding five per centum of the full value of the tax¬ able property within its limits as as¬ certained by tne last assessment for State and county taxes previous to the incurring of such indebtedness, but no new bonded indebtedness (other than for refunding purposes) shall be incurred until the proposi¬ tion therefor shall be consented to bv a majority of the legal voters of said city voting upon the question. The city’s proportionate share of the indebtedness of the County of Cook and of other municipal corporations herein named shall bear the same ratio of the entire indebtedness thereof as the value of the taxable property of such municipal corpor¬ ations within the city bears to the Section 16. The rights of the city under the Act for the Consolidation of Local Governments, approved June 29, 1915, or any amendment thereof, are not affected by the fore¬ going provisions. Section 17. The General Assembly may provide additional or alternative methods for consolidating local gov¬ ernments within the city of Chicago subject to its consent. Section 13. If any municipal cor¬ poration is consolidated with the city, the city may become indebted in the aggregate to an amount not exceeding five per cent of the full value of the taxable property withm its limits. In computing this aggre¬ gate amount the existing indebted¬ ness of the city and the indebtedness of all municipal corporations lying wholly within the limits of the city and the city’s proportionate share of the indebtedness of the County of Cook, the Forest Preserve District and the Sanitary District shall be included. The city’s share of the debt of any of these corporations shall be determined by the propor¬ tion within the city of the taxable value of the property in such corpor- ation. .. No new bonded indebtedness shall be incurred by the city f'or other than refunding purposes without the approval of the majority of the voters voting on the question. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 307 value of the entire taxable property of such municipal corporations as as¬ certained by the last assessment for State and county purposes. Section 16. No municipal corpor¬ ation hereafter created within the County of Cook having territory covering the territory of the city of Chicago or any part thereof shall he allowed to become indebted other¬ wise than to the extent of its current annual revenues. Section 17. Subject to Sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the Revenue Article, the General Assembly shall have power to permit the city of Chicago after the consolidation with said city of all of the municipal cor¬ porations lying wholly or partly within said city, to become indebted to an amount to be fixed by it in the aggregate exceeding the limit prescribed by this Constitution, but such action of the General Assembly shall not become effective until ap¬ proved by an ordinance of the legis¬ lative authority of the city agreed to by two-thirds vote of its full mem¬ bership and by a favorable vote of three-fifths of the voters of the city voting upon the question. Such an ordinance shall not be adopted oftener than once in ten years and the maximum limit of in¬ debtedness, when so extended, shall never exceed ten per cent of the full value of the taxable property within the corporate limits of the city of Chicago as ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes. Such an ordinance if rejected shall not be resubmitted within two years from the date of such original sub¬ mission. The limit of special indebtedness made possible under Sections 9, 10 and 11 of the Revenue Article shall in no case be increased under the provisions of this section. Section 15. No municipal corpor¬ ation hereafter created covering any part of the territory iof the city shall become indebted otherwise than to the extent of its current annual revenues. Section 14. The General Assembly may authorize the city (after con¬ solidation with the city of all the municipal corporations, other than the County of Cook, lying wholly or partly therein) to become in¬ debted, in the aggregate, up to ten per cent of the full value of all tax¬ able property within the city. Any increase of this debt limit under this authority shall require an ordinance passed by two-thirds of those elected to the legislative authority of the city and approved by three-fifths of the voters of the city voting on the question. Such an ordinance shall not be passed oftener than once in ten years, and if rejected shall not be re¬ submitted within two years from the date of its original submission. Any indebtedness for the acquisi¬ tion, construction or operatioh of the public utilities authorized in Section 12 of the Revenue Article shall be incurred only as provided in that article. The amount of taxable prop¬ erty in any area referred to in this and the preceding section shall be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes. Respectfully submitted, Elam L.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 385, being a Proposal Entitled Chicago and Cook County. ARTICLE I. This article has presented to your committee a problem different from and in some respects more difficult than any heretofore faced, first, because of the newness of the subject of Municpal Home Hu e, and second, because of the complexity of the overlapping governments agencies in the city of Chicago. For these reasons your committee de¬ sires to reserve certain questions .raised by this proposal lor further con¬ sideration upon the next reference to this committee. The recent origin of the subject of municipal home rule m consti¬ tutional law becomes apparent when the various state constitutions are examined. Beginning with Missouri in 1875, thirteen states (or a li e more than one-fourth of all the states in the Union) have granted home rule to cities through constitutional provisions These states are. California (1879), Washington (1889), Minnesota (1896), Coloiad (1902) Oregon (1906), Oklahoma (1907), Michigan (1908), Arizona (1912), Nebraska (1912), Ohio (1912), Texas (1912) and Maryland (1915). In Wisconsin and New York efforts to secure home rule toi cities through constitutional amendments have been made, but without success. The New York Constitution proposed m 1915 also contained a provision for home rule, but that constitution, as is well known, was rejected by the people. The geographical location of these so-called “home rule” states is worth noting; for, with the exception of Mary¬ land, all of them are either in the central or western part of the U nited St3,t6^ The texts of these constitutional provisions have a scant degree of uniformity, and afford little help in the problem here presented. It should be said, however, that the differences found in these constitu¬ tional provisions are due more to the variety of the questions presen e, than to any other factor. . , , Attention has been called to the fact that the intricate governmental machinery found in the territory covered by the city of Chicago in¬ creases the difficulty presented by this article. Twenty-four separate and overlapping authorities levy taxes and exercise other functions of government within the limits of that city. (See for elaborate discussion of this subject, Report of Chicago Bureau of Efficiency The Unifica¬ tion of Local Governments in Chicago,” January, 1917.) One of the main objects of this article is to authorize the city of Chicago to provide for a systematic consolidation of these overlapping bodies, subject to popular approval. A most difficult problem of legislative drafting is here presented; for to obtain this object—and at the same time sa guard the method of procedure and protect the rights of the inhabita of the overlapping municipalities—requires a careful study of the facts involved and a close consideration of the language used, lour c-o 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 309 mittee fully appreciates the task which the Committee on Chicago aud Cook County had before it, and is aware of the great labor bestowed on this article by that committee. Accordingly the reference draft has been altered only where a change seemed necessary to shorten or clarify the language, or make the phraseology uniform with the other redrafts by this committee. A\e have spoken of how other states have treated the subject of con¬ stitutional home rule. In Illinois the present Constitution does not concern itself with the subject except in certain particulars. Article IX. Section 10, forbids the General Assembly to impose taxes upon muni¬ cipalities without their consent; Article IX, Section 9, contains certain implied limitations on the General Assembly, growing out of what appears in form as a grant of power to the General Assembly; Article XI, Section 4, forbids the General Assembly to grant street railways the right to lay tracks on city streets without the city’s consent; Article IA , Section 22, prohibits the General Assembly from passing local or special laws in a large number of cases, and some of these prohibitions were adopted for the purpose of relieving municipalities from the abuses of such action by the General Assembly (Debates 1870, up. 590-608) ; Article IA , Section 34 (as amended in 1904), permits ihe General As¬ sembly (subject^to referendum) to pass certain special laws for the city of Chicago. (Xote: This amendment has been practically inoperative due to its complexity of form; the General Assembly has in few instances attempted to legislate under it.) Subject to these exceptions, the doc¬ trine of complete legislative supremacy over municipal affairs has always prevailed and still prevails in the constitutional law of Illinois. Section 1 . The purpose of this section is to make an immediate grant of home rule powers to the city of Chicago. That city now exer¬ cises. only the powers delegated to it “by law, and the maxim Expressio unius cst exclusio dlterius, forbids the city from exercising any powers not enumerated. The Convention, under this section, intends to do three things: 1. To grant “full powers*’ of home rule to the city. 2. To abolish the above maxim insofar as it applies to the city. 3. To make the grant of powers to the city subject to regulation, and even denial by the General Assemblv. In considering the language of the reference draft one question immediately arises, namely: A hat officer or officers of the city' shall exercise the powers granted ? It. is clearly the intention of the Con¬ vention that the section should be self executing and should not require action by the General Assembly. But there is doubt whether ffie reference draft would produce the result intended. In fact, similar language in the Constitution of Ohio was denied a self executing effect by the Supreme Court of that state. (State ex rel v. Lynch, 88 Ohio State 71, 1913.) The court held that a grant of power in such language is not self executing, because the particular municipal authority which is to exercise the powers granted is not named. The court specifically declared that the city council of the city of Toledo was not “the city,’’ 310 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, and therefore could not exercise powers granted to “the city/’ To avoid the possibility of a similar construction in this State your .committee has suggested that the following sentence be added: “Until otherwise provided by charter, these powers shall be exercised by or in accordance with city ordinances. The other changes made by your committee will be taken up in their order and discussed. The phrase “except as expressly limited by law has oeen changed to read “except as expressly prohibited by law.” This provision includes (1) such express prohibitions on the power of the city as aireaoy exist, and (2) such express prohibitions as may be made by the General -i s- sembly in the future. The word “limited” as used in the reference draft seems to vour committee unfortunate because it is a word ot loose meaning. Xo person can say exactly what “expressly limited by law means." For this reason the word “prohibited” has been substituted, , V -V Section 4. Every person may free¬ ly speak, write and publish on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that liberty; and in all trials for libel, both civil and crimi¬ nal, the truth, when published with good motives and for justifiable ends, shall be a sufficient defense. Section 5. The right of trial by jury as heretofore enjoyed, except as herein modified, shall remain invio¬ late, but may be waived in all but capital cases. The trial of civil cases by a jury of less than twelve, and less than an unanimous verdict in civil cases may be authorized by law. Women shall be eligible to jury serv¬ ice, but shall not be required to serve. Section 6. The right of the peo¬ ple to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no war¬ rant, shall issue without probable cause, supported by affidavit, particu¬ larly describing the place to be -searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Section 7. All persons shall be bailable, by sufficient sureties, except for capital offenses, where proof is evident or the presumption great; and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may re- . quire it. Section 8. No person shall be held to answer for a criminal of¬ fense, unless on indictment of a grand jury, or, in felonies other than capital cases, on information filed by leave of a court of record granted after a preliminary hearing showing probable cause for prosecution; ex¬ cept in cases in which the punish¬ ment is by fine, or imprisonment otherwise than in the penitentiary; in cases of impeachment; and in cases arising in the army and navy, or in the militia when in actual service in time of war or public danger. A full panel of the grand jury shall consist of fifteen persons, and in finding a bill of indictment at least eleven of the grand jury shall be present and agree to the finding. Section 4. Every person may free¬ ly speak, write or publish on any subject, but is responsible for the abuse of this liberty. In trials for libel, civil or criminal, the truth, when published with good motives and for justifiable ends, is a suffi¬ cient defense. Section 5. The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate. A jury may be waived except in capital cases. Women shall be eligible but not required to serve as jurors. In civil cases juries of less than twelve and verdicts not unanimous may be authorized by law. Section 6. (No change suggested.) Section 7. All persons shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, except for capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption great. The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. Section 8. No person shall be held to answer for a felony except on in¬ dictment by a grand jury, or (save in capital cases) on information filed by the Attorney General or the State’s Attorney by leave of a court of record of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing in such court show¬ ing probable cause.

Committee on Phraseology and Style. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION - . 325 IN RE PROPOSAL NO. 376. Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 376, being a Proposal entitled Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights has appeared in substantially the same form since its adoption in the Constitution of 1818, and its form has been changed only slightly in the reference draft. The history of the Bill of Rights goes back much further than 1818, since its substance may be traced to the Constitution of the United States adopted in 1787, to' the Ordinance of the North West Territory of the same year and to the Declaration of Independence of 1776. Further back in English history the prototype of many of the provisions of the Bill of Rights, as we know it now, took shape in the Bill of Rights of 1688 and earlier stilJ in the Petition of Rights in 1627. Still further back at the dawn of English political history, in 1215, the origin of many of these provisions may be found in Magna Charta. Because of the history of the article and because of the great amount of construction which it has received from the Supreme Court of this State, your committee has made few changes and those only when strong reasons appeared. Section 1 . Your committee has not changed this section as it appears in the reference draft except in punctuation. The dash in line 2 has been changed to a semicolon for the reason that the section is so punctuated in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of 1818, and the rejected Constitution of 1862. Your committee has added to this section a sentence which appears as Section 20 of this article in the present Constitution. Section 20 of this article in the Constitution of 1870 was made Section 19 of the reference draft and a further sentence was added. A short considera¬ tion of the two provisions as they appear in the Constitution of 1870 shows the similarity of their subject matter. Each is an Abstract state¬ ment of political philosophy. Logic would seem to suggest that the two sections, as they appeared in 1870, be combined and accordingly your committee has made this consolidation. Section 2. No change has been made in this section. Section 3. No change has been made in this section. Section 4. The reference draft is the same as Section 4 in the Constitution of 1870. It contains two elements which are not suffici¬ ently related from the point of view of sentence unity. These two ele¬ ments existed not only in separate sentences but in separate sections in the Constitution of 1818, the Constitution of 1848 and the rejected Constitution of 1862. The necessity for separate sentences is apparent when it is observed that the first clause of the reference draft deals with both slander and libel, while the second clause deals only with libel. The Convention of 1870 also changed the phrase “any subject” as it had appeared in all the prior Constitutions to read “all subjects.” Your Committee considers the original form preferable and has restored it. The adjective “this” seems preferable to “that” when used to modify JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, 32 G the word “liberty” since the liberty under consideration is immediate and not remote. The correlatives “both * * * and” mean the same as “or” and your committee has used the latter word. Section 5. This section has been rephrased in Committee of the Whole and only a fraction of the section as it appeared in the Consti¬ tution of 1870 has been retained. The phrase “as heretofore enjoyed” first appeared in 1870. The Supreme Court of this State has at times construed this phrase as pre¬ serving the right of trial by jury as it existed at the time of adoption of the Constitution. (Boss v. Irving, 14 Ill. 171, 1852, decided under the Constitution of 1848; Commercial Insurance Company v. Scommon, 123 Ill. 601, 1888; City of Spring Valley v. Spring Valley Coal Com¬ pany, 173 Ill. 497, 1898). On other occasions these words have been construed to guarantee the right of trial by jury as it existed at common law. (George v. People, 167 Ill. 447, 1897; Paulsen v. People, 195 Ill. 507, 1902). It is apparent that this phrase in 1920 does not mean the same thing that it meant in 1870 for the simple reason that half a century has passed in the interval. Moreover, it is apparent from the changes made in Committee of the Whole that the “right of trial by jury” can¬ not be the same “right” as that heretofore enjoyed. In view of these facts your committee has thought it unwise to repeat this phrase in the Constitution of 1920. The phrase “in all but capital cases” seems to your committee not so good an expression as “except in capital cases.” The second sentence in the reference draft is new and seems to vour committee to be expressed better -in the form given in your committee s draft. The third sentence of the reference draft is likewise new and has been simplified by }'Our committee with no intention to change its mean¬ ing. Its place in the section has been changed to conform to rules of logic and paragraph unity. Section 6. No change has been made in this section. Section 7. The principal change made by your committee in this section is to divide it into two sentences. It is obvious that the light of a person to secure bail has no essential connection with the pinilege of the writ of habeas corpus. To combine these elements into one sen¬ tence violates the principle of sentence unity. The word “when” after the word “unless” has been dropped. I he words “unless when” originated in the Federal Constitution. At that time the word “unless” was in good usage as a preposition. It was used as a synonym for the preposition “except,” and it is used in that sense here.' But in the past century good usage has changed, and the word “unless” is now used exclusively as a conjunction. (Century Dic¬ tionary). The word “when” is therefore unnecessary. Section 8. This section is similar to the fifth amendment of the Federal Constitution. It has appeared in a slightly different foim in each of the three Constitutions of this State. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 327 As it appears in the Constitution of 1870, this section has given some difficulty in construction. The Supreme Court at one time re¬ ferred to it as requiring felonies to be prosecuted by indictment and per¬ mitting misdemeanors to be prosecuted by information. ( Brewster v. People\, 183 Ill. 143, 1899). However, the court later held that this rule was not, for all purposes, correct. For example, larceny (including petty larceny) prior to 1911 was named by statute as an infamous crime and accordingly was punishable by loss of civil rights. Thus petty larceny, although it was only a misdemeanor, was punishable “otherwise than in the penitentiary” and could not be prosecuted by information under this section. ( People v. Russel , 245 Ill. 268, 1910). However, the General Assembly in 1911 remedied this situation by amending the statute describing infamous crimes to exclude petty larceny. (Act of May 29, 1911). The provision in the Constitution of 1870 that the grand jury may be abolished by law “in all cases” was inserted to permit the General Assembly to abolish the grand jury in any or all cases as that body might see fit. (Debates 1870, p. 1442). However, in 1907, the Attorney General held that under this provision the grand jury could not be abolished in any case unless it was abolished in all cases. (Deports, At¬ torney General, 1908, p. 52). This construction thwarts the clear in¬ tention of the Convention of 1870. The Convention has adopted the section as it stands in the Consti¬ tution of 1870 with but two changes: First —the words “Provided, that the grand jury may be abolished by law in all cases” have been eliminated and a provision has been sub¬ stituted permitting the prosecution of felonies “other than capital cases, on information filed by leave of a court of record granted after a pre¬ liminary hearing showing probable cause for prosecution.” Second —the last sentence of the reference draft, relative to the composition of the grand jury, has been added. An analysis of the reference draft shows that five types of prose¬ cution for “criminal offenses” are contemplated: 1. By indictment in capital cases. 2. By indictment or on information filed by leave of a court of record after a hearing showing probable cause in felonies other than capital cases. 3. By any manner which the General Assembly may direct in “cases in which the punishment is by fine or imprisonment otherwise than in the penitentiary.” 4. By impeachment. 5. By courts martial. Between number 2 and number 3 there is a further class of cases which (evidently by oversight) are not covered by the reference draft; that is, cases in which the punishment may be either imprisonment in the penitentiary or otherwise. Such cases under the decisions are not felonies nor are they cases in which the punishment is by “fine or imprisonment otherwise than in the penitentiary.” A felony is defined by the criminal code as “an offense punishable with death or by im¬ prisonment in the penitentiary.” (Jones & Addington Annotated JOUEXAL OF THE [Sept. 6, Statutes, Sec. 3970). It is well settled under this definition that if an offense is punishable by a penitential sentence and may also be punish¬ able otherwise than by imprisonment in the penitentiary, (for example, by fine or imprisonment in the county jail), such an offense is a mis¬ demeanor and not a felony. ( Larnhin v. People, 94 Ill. 501, 1880; Baits v. People, 123 Ill. 428, 1888; Herman v. People, 131 Ill. 594, 1889; People v. Paisley, 288 Ill. 310, 1919). Similarly the Supreme Court has construed the provision permitting prosecution by information “in cases in which the punishment is by fine, or imprisonment otherwise than in the penitentiary,” to include only cases where no penitentiary sentence can be given. ( People v. Glowachi, 236 Ill. 612, 1908; People v. Bussell, 245 Ill. 268, 1910). It thus appears that, since the reference draft makes no special provision for the prosecution of cases where the punishment may be either imprisonment in the penitentiary or other¬ wise, such cases can be prosecuted only by indictment. This clearly was not the intention of the Committee of the Whole. Your committee has therefore changed the wording of the section to make it apply to “felonies” instead of to “criminal offenses.” This change has been made for three reasons: 1. It remedies the inadvertent omission of the class of cases des¬ cribed in the preceding paragraph. 2. It eliminates the difficulty involved in the construction of the clause “by imprisonment otherwise than in the penitentiary,” as con¬ sidered above. 3. It permits the omission of trials for misdemeanors upon im¬ peachments and by courts martial from the entire scope of the section. These three classes of trials are really not intended to be covered by the section, since they are specifically excepted from its application. By omitting from the section any reference to them the same result is accomplished as was intended by the reference draft; and the result is secured by a much simpler wording. Your committee has made the following minor changes in the section: (a) The word “except” has been substituted for the word “unless” in the reference draft for the reasons given in the discussion of Section 7 of this memorandum, (b) The verb “granted” is omitted as unnecessary, since the adverbial clause “after a preliminary hearing modifies the verb “filed” if “granted” is omitted, (c) The words “prob¬ able cause ior prosecution” have been shortened to the equivalent term “probable cause.” (d) The last sentence of the refeience diaft has been shortened by omitting superfluous words. After considerable study your committee has concluded that the provision of this section permitting prosecution by information (as worded in the reference draft) is not self executing, as it was intended to be. This will be obvious when it is observed that; (a) The pro¬ vision does not specify whether the information is to be filed by.(l) the State’s attorney, (2) the Attorney General, or (3). by any citizen, or (4) by anv one of these, (b) The section does not indicate whethei one court may grant leave to file an information in another court, or whether the hearing may not be heard in the court which grants the leave, (c) It is not clear whether the leave to file the information may 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 329 be asked of a court having no criminal jurisdiction; and if it may be asked for in such court, it does not appear where the trial should take place. In order to remove the doubt raised by (a) above, your com¬ mittee has provided that the information may be filed by the Attorney General or by the State's attorney. Your committee is satisfied that the Convention did not intend to enlarge the section so as to permit any individual to file the information ; on the other hand, the Convention intended only to give the existing officers charged with the duty of pro¬ secuting criminals (the Attorney General and the State's attorney) an additional means of proceeding in the cases concerned. Accordingly the words “by the Attorney General or State's attorney" have been added. In order to require that the same court which grants the leave to file the information shall also hold the hearing upon it, your committee has added the words “in such court." This avoids the difficulty in (b) above and requires the hearing to be held in the court which grants the leave. In order to secure the filing of the information in a court which may lawfully hear it, your committee has inserted the words “of competent jurisdiction" after the words “court of record.” The difficulty in (c) above is thereby avoided. Section 9. No change has been made in this section. Section 10. No change has been made in this section. Section 11. The word “all" is omitted as unnecessary. Since the word “penalties" is used in the plural, the plural form “offenses" should also be used. Your committee has condensed the phrase “proportioned to the nature of the offense" to “proportioned to offenses." The words omitted by your committee seem unnecessary. Your committee has also condensed the phrase “.. shall any person be transported out of the State for any offenses committed within the same," to read “work * * * transportation from the State." The clause has thereby been shortened and your committee be¬ lieves that its meaning has not been changed. There seems no necessity for the phrase “any offense committed within the same" since your committee assumes the section is not in¬ tended to be applicable to offenses committed outside the State. The adjective “same" is here again used as a pronoun. Tour committee has already called attention to the impropriety of such usage. Section 12. Your committee has made but slight changes in this section. The verb “shall" has been changed to “may" since it is clear that • the imperative is not intended. As already stated, your committee has consistently used the word “shall" to express the imperative. The word “unless" has been changed to “except" for the reasons set out in the discussion of Section 7 of this memorandum. The phrase “for the benefit of his creditors" has. been shortened by your committee to the equivalent phrase “for his creditors." 330 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, The words “in such manner as may be prescribed by law” mean no more than “as prescribed by law,” and your committee has used the shorter phrase. The last clause of the section is correlative and not coordinate. Accordingly your committee has substituted a comma for a semicolon • to show the true relation of this clause to the sentence. There seems no justification for the use of the plural cases since the singular form “base”' necessarily applies to every situation wnich may arise. The phrase “where there is strong presumption of fraud” has been condensed by your committee to “of strong presumption of fraud.” ' Here again your committee, in revising the section, has been care¬ ful not to change its meaning. Section 13. The first part of this section is the same as Section 13 of Article II of the present Constitution, except that after the word “property” the words “which shall include the property of incorporated companies as well as of individuals” have been added by the Committee of the Whole. This language is intended to cover the same ground as that covered by Section 14 of Article XI of the present Constitution. But the words" “private property” have been held to include corporate property and franchises, and the Supreme Court has several times stated that Section 14 of Article XI is unnecessary. ( Mitchell v. I. & St. L. By. Co., 68 Ill. 286, 1873; L. S. & M. S. By. Co. v. C. & W. I. By. Co., 97 Ill. 506, 1881; A. & S. By. Co. v. Vandalia By. Co., 268 Ill. 68, 1915). For these reasons your committee has omitted these words from its redraft The phrase “as shall be prescribed by law” has been omitted. It is difficult to tell whether this clause modifies the verb “ascertained” or the noun “jury,” but in either case it is unnecessary. If the clause modifies the word “ascertained” it adds nothing to the meaning of the sentence, because “compensation” cannot be ascertained until a statute has prescribed the proceedings. In the case of People v. McBob&rts. 62 Ill. 38, 1871, the Supreme Court, in construing this section, said: “Suppose that the words, ‘as shall be prescribed by law/ had been omitted in the section, no one would doubt for a moment that the section went into effect in presenti; and that, until an enactment of a proper law, if there was none, the right of eminent domain could not be exercised.” On the other hand, if this clause modifies the word ‘jury it has been disregarded by the Supreme Court. That court has held that the “jury” required bv this section is the same kind of a jury require by Section 5 of Article II of the Constitution. (McManus v. 1Mc¬ Donough, 107 Ill. 95, 1883). Since the clause “as shall be prescribed by law” has no effect, it has been omitted. In the interest of brevity the first two sentences of the refeience draft have been consolidated. ^ The words “when not made by the State hav e been rephrased o read, “except when paid by the State” to make more clear the fact that these words constitute an exception to the rule of the sentence. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 331 The next sentence of the reference draft reads “the fee of land taken for railroad tracks without the consent of the owner thereof shall remain in such owner subject to the use for which it is taken/’ Your committee has shortened this sentence to read "The fee of land taken for railroad tracks without the consent of the owner shall remain in him.” The words “subject to the use for which it is taken” are unneces¬ sary because if land is taken for railroad tracks and the fee. remains in the owner, it is obvious that the land is subject to the use in question. The last sentence of Section 13 is new with this Convention. It was inserted to give what is known as the right of ’’Excess Condem¬ nation.” In reality it is a construction-sentence for the first portion, of the section, since its purpose is to enlarge the narrow construction given by the courts to the term “public use.” These words have here¬ tofore been construed to permit the condemnation of only such property as is actually occupied by a public improvement. In genera] there are three theories of “Excess Condemnation.” The first theory is that the condemning authority should be entitled to take remnants of lots which are too small for suitable inde¬ pendent use. This theory is known as the “remnant theory” and is sup¬ ported by the following arguments: (a) The remnants are unsightly and often remain so for long periods of time. (b) The condemning authority is compelled to reimburse the owner of the remnant often to the extent of its full value for the damage done to the remnant. (c) The condemning authority, when the improvement is paid for by special assessment, is prevented from assessing the property be¬ yond the remnant as property abutting upon the improvement. The second theory of “Excess Condemnation” would permit the condemning authority to take land on all sides of the improvement and to resubdivide and rearrange the frontage abutting upon the improve¬ ment. This theory would permit the full benefits of the improvement to be realized. The language usually adopted to secure this result is that additional land may be taken sufficient “to protect” or “to preserve” the improvement, although sometimes both these words or similar words are used. (See Wisconsin Amendment of 1912, Constitution of Wis¬ consin, Article II, Section 3A; Acts of Virginia 1906, Chapter 194, Section 1; Laws of Oregon 1913, Chapter 269, Section 1. See also Yew York Amendment of 1913, Yew York Constitution, Article I, Section 7, and Rhode Island Amendment of 1916, Constitution of Rhode Island, Article 17, Section 1.) In Ohio, by the Amendment of 1912 (Consti¬ tution of Ohio, Article 18, Section 10), a somewhat more comprehensive grant is given, the only limitation being that the additional land shall be “in furtherance of such public use.” It seems entirely fair to say that the provisions adopted by the states which have permitted such excess in the taking of land (either by constitutional amendment or by general laws under existing Constitutions) are mostly drafted upon the basis of this theory. 3. The third theory would allow the condemnation and resell¬ ing of any land benefited by the improvement, even though such land 332 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. G, might be at a considerable distance from the improvement itself. The purpose of this theory is to permit the municipality to reimburse itself for the expense of constructing the improvement by taking any or all of the land so benefited. This is known as the “recoupment theory.” Your committee feels certain that the Convention did not intend to adopt this last theory. It seems clear also that the Convention did not intend to limit the additional land taken to that allowed by the first theory; since the amount of additional land taken and the circum¬ stances under which it is to be taken are left to the judgment of a court and are not specially limited to “remnants.” In view of these con¬ siderations your committee has redrafted the provision to conform to the second'theory and at the same time to comply with the restrictions im¬ posed by the reference draft. Section II. Yo change has been made in this section. Section 15. This section combines without change Sections 15 and 1G of Article II of the Constitution of 1870. Your committee has not altered the form of the first sentence, but the second has been rephrased to express the idea more accurately. The reference draft required the consent of the owner of the house rather than the persons living in it. Literally construed, the reference draft would not permit the govern¬ ment to quarter soldiers in their own homes, if the soldiers did not own their homes, without the consent of the owner. Similarly soldiers might be quartered in the home of a renter without his consent if the owner of the house consented. This obviously was not the intention. Your committee has therefore rewritten the section to require th$ con¬ sent of the householder rather than the owner of the house. The term “householder” is well known to the law and is defined as “the person who holds or occupies a house as his own dwelling or that of his house¬ hold.” (Oxford Dictionary, Yol. 5, p. 422.) The idiom “to quarter soldiers on a householder” is also well known. (Oxford Dictionary, Yol. 8, p. 30.) The sentence has been otherwise revised to avoid splitting the main verb from its auxiliary. Section 16. Yo change has been made in this section. Section 17. Yo change has been made in this section. Section 18. Yo change has been made in this section. Section 19. This section is new with this Convention. The words “of this State” have been omitted as unnecessary. The antecedent of the words “such citizens” in the last line of the section is not clear. The grammatical antecedent is, of course, the next pre¬ ceding appropriate substantive, which is “any other citizen,” but this construction apparently does not effect the purpose intended. Your committee has therefore rearranged the phrase to make it clear that “no citizen” is the proper antecedent of “such citizen.” Section 20. The first sentence of this section has been combined, without change, with Section 1 of this Article. The second sentence is not changed. The sentence is new with this Convention. Your committee calls attention to the fact that there is no similar provision in any other State Constitution. The Federal Con¬ stitution provides in Section 4, Article IY, “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican form of govern- 19.21.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 333 mentThis section of the Federal Constitution has been little con¬ strued. President Taft vetoed an act admitting Arizona to the Union because the proposed Constitution of that State contained a provision for the initiative and referendum. The President held that this pro¬ vision in the Arizona Constitution violated the principles of a Republi¬ can form of government. The state was afterwards admitted to the Union without this provision in its Constitution, and after admission amended its Constitution to adopt the initiative and referendum. The phrase “Republican form of government” is an extremely vague one. The presence of this provision in the Constitution will subject every law altering in any degree the present form of government, to the caprice of a court, since the court may declare that the law disrupts the Republican form of government.

Committee on Phraseology and Style. 334 JOURNAL OF TILE [Sept, 6, IN RE PROPOSAL NO. 375. Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 375, being a Proposal in relation to the PREAMBLE of the Constitution of Illinois. This proposal as revised is in tlie same form as the reference draft except for three grammatical changes. The nse of the dash in the reference draft to set off the clause be¬ ginning “grateful to Almighty God”, etc., cannot be justified under proper rules of punctuation. (Hill, “Foundations of Rhetoric”, p. 347.) The comma has therefore been substituted for the dash. The Preamble is made up of a single sentence which has for its main clause the words “We, the people of the State of Illinois * * do ordain and establish this Constitution of the State of Illinois”. In the reference draft the sentence has its subject separated from its verb by a semicolon. This error has been corrected in the proposal as revised. The reference draft contains the words “the same” used as a pro¬ noun. Attention has been called in previous reports of this Committee to this prevalent but objectionable usage. The pronoun them has been substituted for the words “the same”, and the word “liberty” has been changed to the plural “liberties”, to make the grammatical con¬ struction correct.

All taxes shall be levied and collected under general law and for public purposes only. The General Assembly shall provide for the levy of taxes upon property by valuation so that every person and corporation shall pay a tax in proportion to the value of his or her or its property, such value to be ascertained by some person or per¬ sons to be elected or appointed in Section 1. The power of taxation shall never be surrendered or sus¬ pended. Taxes shall be levied and collected only under general laws and for public purposes. Section 3. (Part of Reference Section 1.)

Taxes levied by valuation upon property in this State and paid shall be deducted from the tax on income derived therefrom by the person or corpor¬ ation paying such property tax. In lieu of any property tax there¬ on, the General Assembly may pro¬ vide a uniform tax on all income de¬ rived from intangible property, in which case the rate of such income tax shall be a uniform, real and substantial tax, and there shall be no exemptions therefrom, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article. Taxes may also be levied on privi¬ leges, franchises and occupations uniform as to class. The above specifications of the objects and subjects of taxation shall not deprive the General Assembly of the power to require other ob¬ jects or subjects to be taxed in such manner as may be consistent with the principles of taxation fixed in this Constitution. Section 2. The income tax here¬ in authorized shall be levied and col¬ lected by some State authority; all income taxes collected from within each county shall be apportioned and divided between the State and the county in the same proportion as the real estate taxes extended with¬ in the county for the same year are divided between the State and the county, and the income tax so ap¬ portioned to any county shall be ap¬ portioned and divided between the county and all the taxing authori¬ ties within the county, in the same proportion as all the real estate taxes extended within the county for the same year are apportioned and di¬ vided between the county and all the taxing authovities within the county for the same year. exceed, (a) $500 to a person not the head of a family whose total net in¬ come is less than $1,000, and (b) $1,000 to a person the head of a family whose total net income is less than $2,000; and taxes by valuation paid on property in this State shall be deducted from any tax on the in¬ come derived from such property. Taxes on privileges, franchises and occupations shall be uniform as to classes. Taxes on the income derived from intangible property may be levied in lieu of any tax on such property by valuation; but such taxes on income shall be uniform and substantial and there shall be no exemptions, there¬ from. Section 4. Taxes on income shall be levied and collected only by the State; and the proceeds thereof in each county shall be apportioned be¬ tween the State, the county and all taxing authorities within the county in the same ratio as the proceeds of taxes on real estate in such county are apportioned.

To the extent that funds to be used for the pay¬ ment of any such indebtedness, as to either principal or interest, shall be deposited with the treasurer of any such city prior to the collection of such tax, such tax shall not be col¬ lected, but mo subsequent loss or mis¬ appropriation of the funds so de¬ posited shall relieve such city of its liability to pay such indebtedness. Any city owning or operating any public utility shall conform to all requirements with respect to the keeping of accounts and the audit thereof and to the making of reports that shall be prescribed by law with respect to such matters for any other persons or corporations owning or operating a like utility. Any city issuing bonds in excess of the limi¬ tation of indebtedness prescribed by Section 8 of this Article, for the pur¬ pose of financing any income-pro¬ ducing public utility, shall thereafter (irrespective of the subsequent amor¬ tization of the debt evidenced by any bonds or other securities what¬ soever, issued for the financing of (Combined with Section 10.) • i ■ 340 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6 ? such utility) establish and maintain such rates or charges for the service supplied as are necessary to provide sufficient revenue (in addition to amounts required for the payment of the principal of and interest on all outstanding bonded or other indebt¬ edness incurred for the financing of such utility) to pay and discharge at least all costs and expenses in¬ volved in or incidental to the own¬ ership, operation, and maintenance of such utility, including expendi¬ tures and reserves for repairs and renewals necessary to maintain the properties in first class condition in every respect at all times.

Committee on Phraseology and Style. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL C 0 X V E X T10 X. 341 IN RE PROPOSAL NO. 378. Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 378, being a Proposal Entitled Revenue. The various sections of the reference draft, as revised, in most re¬ spects speak for themselves. There are, however, a few matters which should be called to the attention of the Convention in order that they may not be overlooked. In Section 8 of the reference draft the phrase “including existing indebtedness” comes from Section 12, Article IX, of the present Constitution. Fifty r years ago that phrase was sufficient to cover the meaning intended. Since that time, however, the practice of organizing municipal corporations, such as park districts, drainage districts, forest preserves, etc., within the area of existing counties, townships or cities, has grown up. The question therefore arises as to what debt limit is permitted in such cases. Does each debt-incurring body have a five per cent limit without regard to the debt of the county or city in which it is organized? Or does the section prevent “overlapping” of these debt incurring bodies? If the latter is the intention of the Convention, the clause above quoted should be amplified to meet the contingency here suggested. This may be done by putting the provision in some such form as: “* * * including its existing debt and the existing debt of any area lying wholly or partly within it * * Under the provisions of Section 8 of the reference draft, any debt which is incurred is required to be paid off “in equal annual installments within twenty years”. The purpose of this provision is to require a systematic method for financing the debt. As the provision is worded, however, it might be construed to prevent payment of the debt in ad¬ vance. Thus a city might incur a debt and provide for its payment in “equal annual installments” during fifteen years. At the end of ten years the city might desire to pay off the entire balance of the debt then due. In view of the words “equal annual installments” this might be difficult, because bond holders or other persons interested could probably insist on having their bonds run for the full period of the loan. Ac¬ cordingly it is suggested that a provision be added to the section which would permit the city to anticipate payment of any loan. Such a pro¬ vision might be worded as follows: “But any part of such debt may be paid in advance.” In Section 9 of the reference draft the city is required to provide a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the debt “within thirty years from the date thereof”. Here again the question just discussed becomes perti¬ nent. The city should have the right to pay the debt in advance if it is to the interest of the city to do that. Accordingly a provision similar to the one just quoted should also be add^d to this section. Sections 9, 10 and 11 of the reference draft are all concerned with a single subject-matter, namely, limitations on a city which proposes to finance income producing property for public utility purposes. The 342 JOURNAL OF TFIE [Sept. 6, three sections of the reference draft have accordingly been consolidated into a single section in the proposal as revised. Finally attention shonld be called to the fact that these three sec¬ tions of the reference draft provide a method by which a city may go into the business of owning or operating public utilities; hut nowhere in the three sections is there any provision authorizing the city to go out of the business in the event it proves. unprofitable. When bonds for such a purpose have been issued by any city, a contract exists between the bond holders and the city. The right of the city to withdraw from the business and turn it hack to private management or ownership might he denied, unless some constitutional provision specifically appears authorizing the city to take such action. Accordingly it is suggested that some provision like the following be added to this proposal. “Any such income producing property may be disposed of by the city as provided by law.” Report No. 12.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 366, being a Proposal Relative to The LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT. Section 1. Xo change lias been made in this section except to con¬ dense the sentence and omit the last clause, which is obviously needless- since the point is covered in the next section. Section 2. If this section is analvzed it will be found to contain t/ three ideas: 1. It fixes the date for election of members of the General Assembly. 2. It requires an election every two years in even numbered years. 3. It provides for filling vacancies. The proposed article on Suffrage and Elections establishes a single election in each year and fixes the date of the election; accordingly the first of the above provisions is no longer necessary and it has been dropped. Section 9 of this article requires the General Assembly to convene in odd numbered years. The section here under consideration as re¬ vised fixes the length of terms of Senators and Representatives. Xew members therefore will automatically be elected to succeed those whose terms expire, and the election will necessarily take place in the previous Xovember. Accordingly the provision as to the year for holding the election for members of the General Assemblv becomes unnecessary and «/ %j it has been omitted. The third provision, as to vacancies, has been condensed but its meaning has not been changed. The word “vacancies” taken in its con¬ text obviously includes vacancies in “either house,” and a statement to that effect is not necessary. The election here concerned is a “special” election and it should be so characterized. The phrase “issue writs of election” means no more than “call an election.” Accordingly the latter language has been used, since it is simpler and more direct. The words “or person exercising the powers of the Governor” are obviously unneces¬ sary and have been dropped; throughout the Constitution the duties imposed on the Governor automatically devolve upon the person who acts as governor, without a statement to that effect being made. The provisions regulating terms of office of Senators and Repre¬ sentatives found in Sections 6 and 7 respectively of this article belong logically in this section and have been inserted in it. In the Executive Article and in the Judiciary Article the particular section which pro¬ vides for election of officers also prescribes the length of their terms. The same arrangement should be adopted in this article. As thus revised the section contains everything expressed by the reference draft which is necessary to be stated. Section 3. This section contains four limitations affecting mem¬ bers of the General Assembly: 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 351 1. Tliev must have reached a certain age. 2. They may not hold any other lucrative public office, with certain exceptions. 3. They must be citizens of the United States. 4. They must have certain qualifications as to residence. These four limitations have been rewritten in less than half the number of words of the reference draft. This reduction has been se¬ cured by using general and inclusive terms instead of enumerating the particular things excluded. The change suggested is in accordance with the fundamental rules of legislative drafting when an inclusive result is desired. The section as thus revised will be found.to contain every idea expressed in the reference draft without change of meaning. The last sentence of the reference draft is applicable to all officers in the State, including members of the General Assembly. The sen¬ tence has accordingly been transferred to the next section and is dis¬ cussed there. Section -4. This section in the reference draft is taken without change from the present Constitution. In 1870 the form of the section was radically changed from that found in the Constitution of 1848. The section has no logical place in the Legislative Article since it affects all officers in the State as well as members of the General As¬ sembly. The same thing may be said of the last sentence of the previous section; the two provisions belong together and have been consolidated. The entire section as revised should be transferred to some other part of the Constitution, preferably to an article on “Officers.” As revised, the section contains three main ideas, each of which has been expressed in a separate paragraph for purposes of clarity and force. In the Constitution of 1870 the provision as to public moneys is repeated in Section 11 of the Revenue Article, where, however, the pro¬ vision concerns only “municipal corporations.” In the proposed Reve¬ nue Article this latter provision has been dropped, no doubt because it was considered as fully covered by this section. Upon principle all three of the disqualifications for office here concerned should apply to all offices in the State, including offices in cities, counties, townships, etc. As re¬ vised, the section obviously covers all such offices, as well as State offices. Section 5. The Debates of the Convention of 1870 contain a lengthy discussion as to the form of oath to be administered to members of the General Assembly. (Debates, pages 564 to 572.) Those Debates show that the Convention was trying to strike at certain evils which had persisted prior to 1870, but it is generally conceded now that the section has failed to do what its advocates contended it would accomplish. The history of the section during the fifty years it has been in the Consti¬ tution shows that its provisions have rarely, if ever, been invoked; at least there is no construction of the section by any court, and so far as your committee has been able to discover, no person was ever proceeded against under its provisions. In Section 25 of Article Y of the present Constitution there appears a short form of oath which is required of all officers of the State “except members of the General Assembly and such inferior officers as may be by law exempted.” In the Constitution of 358 JOUKNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, 1848 the Governor was required to take a special form of oath (Article IV, Section 6) ; all other officers, including members of the General As¬ sembly, were required to take a uniform oath of office. While it is true that a number of the existing State constitutions contain a special form of oath for members of the General Assembly, yet it is equally true that all of the more recently adopted constitutions put members of the Gen¬ eral Assembly on the same basis as other officers so far as the form of their oath of office is concerned. Thus in Massachusetts a “Rearrange¬ ment of the Constitution” was adopted in 1919, which consolidated several collateral provisions regarding oaths of office existing in the old Constitution and its Amendments. A single form of oath is required for members of the General Court of the State as well as all other offi¬ cers. (Article 149.) The proposed new Constitution for Pennsylvania contains a uniform oath for all officers of the State, including members of the General Assembly; and the form of oath is radically condensed from that found in the present Constitution of that State. (Article VII, Section 4.) Accordingly your Committee recommends that Sec¬ tion 5 of this article be dropped from the Constitution, and that mem¬ bers of the General Assembly be required to take the form of oath pre¬ scribed in Section 25 of Article V. But if the Convention should nevertheless decide to retain this sec¬ tion, the revised and shortened form of oath here given contains every idea expressed in the reference draft. Section 6. No change suggested. Section 7. No change suggested. Section 8. No change suggested. Section 9. This section of the reference draft is taken without change from the present Constitution. In 1870 the form and substance of the section were radically changed from what had previously existed in the Constitution of the State. The section as it appears in the reference draft contains provisions affecting two separate subject matters: 1. It regulates the time of meeting and organization of the two Houses. 2. It lays down certain rules and regulations under which the two Houses are to operate. The arrangement of the section in the reference draft from the point of view of logic is not good. The second and third sentences of the section concern themselves with matters arising after the Houses have been organized, while the provision for organizing the Houses is expressed later on in the section. Moreover the provision requiring the Senate to choose a temporary president is attached as a clause to another sentence, the main idea of which is concerned with the power of the Houses over their proceedings and the qualifications of their members. The order and arrangement of the section has therefore been made more logical and the two main ideas of the section have been made more dis¬ tinct by dividing the section into two paragraphs. The first paragraph concerns itself with the provisions affecting No. 1 above, while the second paragraph is concerned with the provisions affecting No. 2 above. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 359 The first sentence of the reference draft, fixing the hour, the clay and the month when sessions shall begin, has been recast to state more directly the matter involved. The sentence has been thereby consider¬ ably reduced in length without change in meaning. It will be noted that the reference draft requires the election of a ‘Temporary president” for the Senate, to preside when the Lieutenant Governor is absent. The election of a “Speaker” however, is not re¬ quired by the section and that officer is not even mentioned, although the Speaker is mentioned in other sections of the Constitution, as for example, in Section 19 of Article V, providing for succession to the office of Governor. As revised, the section expressly requires a “Speaker” to be elected. The last three sentences of the reference draft concern themselves with the powers of discipline of the two Houses over their members and over persons who are not members. These provisions have been con¬ solidated into a single sentence, thereby effecting a considerable saving in words without change in meaning. Section 10. No change in substance has been made in this session. The sentence structure of the section as revised remains the same as in the reference draft, but each sentence has been somewhat shortened. In the last sentence of the section, if members may have the “reasons for their dissent entered upon the journal” it is obvious that the members may dissent, and the statement to that effect is unnecessary. Section 11. This section has appeared without change since its adoption in the Constitution of 1818. The word “style” is really used in the sense of “enacting clause”; this is obvious from the context of the section. This usage of the word was common one hundred years ago in this specialized sense, although there is seemingly no justification for such use of the word in any dictionary or law book. The use of the word “style” seems to have been copied in this State from the Constitu¬ tion of Connecticut, which was also adopted in the year 1818, forming a model for many provisions of the first Constitution of Illinois. The Constitution of Maine, adopted in the year 1819, uses the word “style” in the same sense, and many state constitutions have followed the exam¬ ple of the earlier states in this regard. However, the constitutions of some of the later states, particularly New York (Article III, Section 14), have used the more definite term “enacting clause.” This is the term under which the section in question is generally indexed. (See Index Digest of State Constitutions, New York Constitutional Conven¬ tion 1915, page 832.) In accordance with the modern tendency the words “enacting clause” have therefore been submitted for the word “style.” The words “this State” have been dropped, since it is obvious the provision relates to the laws of this State and cannot affect the laws of any other state. Section 12. This section contains two provisions: ' 1. It guarantees the equality of the Houses as to originating, amending or rejecting bills. 2. It prescribes certain requirements for the passage of bills. 360 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6. The first provision has been redrafted into a separate sentence since it logically belongs in that form. The word “altered” has been dropped as redundant, its meaning being fnily covered by the word “amended.” The second part of the section contains four requirements which must be complied with before bills may become law: a. A vote by yea and nay must be taken in each House. b. A majority elected to each House must concur in the vote. c. The vote in each House must be entered upon the journal of that House. d. The vote in each House must be taken separately upon each bill. In the reference draft the phrase “each House” appears at the end of the section, and if properly construed would modify only the pro¬ vision as to majority vote. This is not in accordance with the context of the section nor in accordance with the rules of constitutional law. In the section as revised the words “each House” are made to rnodifv each one of the four requirements enumerated above. This part of the section has been further revised in order to shorten it and to make the sequence of its ideas more logical. Section 13. This section, if analyzed, will be found to contain three three main ideas: 1. The provisions as to reading, printing and signing of bills. 2. The provisions as to the subject-matter of bills and the manner of their expression. 3. The provision as to when 'bills shall take effect. Each of these ideas has been expressed in a separate paragraph for obvious grammatical and rhetorical reasons. The section is thereby simplified and the relation of its various parts one to the other made clearer. The first paragraph as revised expresses the three requirements as to “reading,” “printing” and “signing” in chronological order and gives them equal importance. The reference draft is changed in two respects from the Constitu¬ tion of 1870. First: The provision “by title * * *, but the rules of either House may provide for the reading of bills at greater length on second or third reading,” has been added. This amendment has been expressed in the section as revised by the words “by title or at greater length.” In the shorter form full effect is given to the amendment as intended bv the Committee of the Whole. Second: The words “except amendments striking out the emerg¬ ency clause”' were also added as an amendment by the Committee of the Whole. Xo change has been made in this language except to use the word “amendment” in the singular instead of the plural; obviously there will be only one amendment in this connection for each bill. The provision as to “signing” of bills is obscure because it does not indicate how such signing is to be proved. Certain members of the Convention who are familiar with the procedure in the General Assembly have called this fact to the attention of your committee. Thus it may 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 361 be asked: Is signing a jurisdictional matter which must appear from the journals ? Or may it be proved only by the physical signature on the bills themselves ? Or may it be proved by other evidence ? _ Many of the more modern constitutions provide specifically that the journals must show the fact of signing. (See Constitutions as follows: Alabama, Article IV, Section 66; Colorado, Article V, Section 26; Kentucky, Section 56; Louisiana, Section 41; Mississippi, Article IV, Section 59; North Dakota, Article II, Section 66; Pennsylvania, Article III, Sec¬ tion 9; South Dakota, Article III, Section 19; Tennessee, Article II, Section 18; Texas, Article III, Section 38; Utah, Article VI, Section 24; Virginia, Article IV, Section 50; Wyoming, Article III, Section 28.) The proposed new Constitution for Pennsylvania covers the point by a provision as follows: ’‘The fact of signing shall be entered on the journalV In order to secure greater clarity on this point, and to bring the Constitution of this State in line with the modern provisions in other states, the clause “and the fact of signing entered upon the jour¬ nals''’ has been added to the first paragraph. The second paragraph of the section as revised appears in substan¬ tially the same form as in the reference draft. The three sentences of the reference draft are retained, but the last part of the first sentence as to the portion of a bill which shall be void—has been recast in a shorter and clearer form. The sentence of the reference draft beginning “Any act expressly purporting to amend,” etc., was adopted by the Committee of the Whole for the purpose of amplifying the provision found in the present Constitution on the point in question. As revised, the word “purporting” has been dropped from the sentence, since this word does not help the meaning untended to be conveyed. This sentence also has been somewhat recast and shortened for the purpose of making it clearer and at the same time more comprehensive. The third paragraph of the section as revised incorporates the last sentence of the reference draft without material change. The provision, however, has been somewdiat condensed and rephrased for purposes of clarity. The word “but” has been substituted for the less vigorous word “unless.” The use of the relative pronoun “which” as an adjective (“which emergency”) is condemned by grammarians. The pronoun alone is sufficient. The use of the word “otherwise ’ so near the end of the sentence is unfortunate; in the provision as revised this word has been placed nearer the idea which it modifies. Section 1J+. No changes except rhetorical and grammatical ones have been made in this section. In the reference draft the verb “shall * * * be privileged ’ is split apart and its parts separated by two subsidiary clauses, a usage generally condemned by grammarians. (See previous reports of this committee.) This defect has been corrected. The exception in the first part of the section in the reference draft is embedded in the middle of the sentence. Clearness of expression re¬ quires an exception to be put either before or after the idea which it modifies, not in the middle of the idea itself. JOURNAL OR THE [Sept. 6, 362 In the second part of the section the word “debate” is redundant; it is included within the meaning of the word “speech,” and has there¬ fore been dropped. The word “elsewhere” has been substituted for the phrase “in any other place.” Section 15. The purpose of this section is to forbid the appoint¬ ment of members of the General Assembly to any other office. The section is intended to prevent members of the General Assembly from being rewarded for their legislative action or influence, and to prevent persons elected to the General Assembly from being induced to withdraw from it either before or after the General Assembly convenes, by the offer of political preferment. The provision comes practically without change from the Constitution of 1848. The purpose of the section, how¬ ever, so far as the General Assembly is concerned, is duplicated by Section 10 of Article Y of the Constitution; that section forbids the General Assembly to appoint any person to office, including its own members. As Section 10 of Article Y has been revised the prohibition is effective against either the “Senate” or the “House of Bepresenta- tives,” as well as the General Assembly. Accordingly this section amounts only to a prohibition against the Governor so far as appointment of members of the General Assembly is concerned, and it has been revised on that basis. The tense of the second verb “elected” has been changed from the future perfect to the present tense to conform to the rules of legislative drafting. (See Willard, “Legislative Handbook,” Section 354.) The last clause of the reference draft is needless, since the pro¬ vision is self executing without it. If appointments are specifically forbidden by the Constitution there is no occasion to say such appoint¬ ments “shall be void”—they are ipso facto void. Accordingly this clause of the section has been dropped. Section 16. The first sentence of this section in the reference draft forbids appropriations of money by “any private law.” This sentence appeared in the Constitution for the first time in 1870. No other State Constitution contains a like provision except Texas (Article XYI, Sec¬ tion 6), where the provision reads, “No appropriations for private or individual purposes shall be made.” When the Convention of 1870 was considering this provision a motion to substitute the words “special law” for “private law” was made, on the ground that the two terms were synonymous, but the motion failed. (Debates 1870, pages 642, 643.) The term “special law” appears in Section 22 of this article; it is a term frequently used in state constitutions and is well understood in con¬ stitutional law. The term “private law” does not appear elsewhere in the Constitution of this State and is an unusual term in constitutional law. The sentence under consideration has been construed only once by the Supreme Court of this State, and then in a way that is not helpful. In the case of Fergus v. Russell , 277 Ill. 20 (1917), the court had under consideration a number of bills which appropriated money to private individuals, where no claims had been filed with the Court of Claims and where no judgments against the State had been secured. The bills 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 363 were attacked on the ground that they were invalid under this provision, as it was contended they amounted to appropriations made by e ' private laws.” The Supreme Court, however, sustained the appropriations on the ground that they were not private laws, and said: “The meaning of the provision That the General Assembly shall make no appropriation of money out of the treasury in any private law’ we do not understand to be that no appropriation can be made to a private person or individual, but it means that no appropriation for any purpose shall be made out of the treasury in any private law.” If the appropriations involved in Fergus v. Russel are not appro¬ priations made under a “private law” it is difficult to understand what is meant by that term. Certainly the result is—under the decision of the Supreme Court—that the provision is practically meaningless; in any event it fails to prevent the very thing intended, that is, appropria¬ tions to private persons. This provision, however, has been duplicated by a new provision introduced into the Revenue Article by the Committee of the A hole. In Section 1 of that article there appears the sentence, “Taxes shall be levied and collected under the general law and for public purposes only. This latter provision effectively forbids the use of public money for private purposes, and the General Assembly therefore is prohibited by this latter section from appropriating money by any “private law.” Accordingly the sentence under consideration has been dropped. The rest of the section in the reference draft has not been changed except to shorten it. The paragraph added to the section as revised, concerning reports of the Auditor, is discussed in the next section. , Section 17. This section contains two distinct ideas: 1. It governs the method of drawing money from the treasury. 2. It provides for reports to be made by the Auditor. The first idea is stated in a double form: (a) Money must be drawn out of the treasury under “an appropriation made by law,” and (b) no money may be drawn out of the treasury by “joint or separate resolution.” Section 13 of this article regulates the passage of “Jaws” and automatically excludes from that category resolutions either joint or separate. Therefore if the word “law” in the first part of this provision is given its proper meaning, it is unnecessary to add the second part of the provision. Indeed the presence of the clause referring to a “joint or separate resolution” implies that the word “law” is used in a special¬ ized sense, and that result is not intended. This provision comes from Section 9 of Article I of the Constitu¬ tion of the United States, where the provision reads, “No money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations mado by law.” A provision similar to that in the Federal Constitution is found in all state constitutions except in those of a few of the New England states. The provision appeared in the above form in tlie Con¬ stitutions of this State of 1818 and 1848 and in the rejected Constitu¬ tion of 1862. The double form of the provision first appeared in the 364 JOURNAL OF TILE [Sept. 6. Constitution of 1870, and no other State except Maryland has followed the example of Illinois. Accordingly the provision as to “joint or sepa¬ rate resolution” has been dropped. The second part of the section affecting reports of the Auditor has given your Committee some difficulty. Two separate constructions of this provision are open: a. Shall the “statement” include moneys expended by all branches of the Government as the result of the session of the Gen¬ eral Assembly? D. Shall the “statement” include only moneys expended by the General Assembly for its purposes? From the wording of the provision itself no one can say definitely which of these constructions was intended. In order to make the point clear your Committee communicated with the Auditor and asked for the construction placed by that department on this provision. The following is the Auditor’s reply: Springfield, October 30, 1920. Hon. Charles H. Hamill, Chicago Law Institute, Chicago. Dear Sir : Deferring to your letter of the 29th relative to the requirement that the Auditor shall publish a statement of expenses of the General Assembly, the construction placed upon this by this office for all time back since its requirement, is that it shall be a statement of the amounts expended by the General Assembly at the session just previously held. I am sending you under separate cover copies of all the avail¬ able reports at this time. • Yours very truly, (Signed) Andrew Kussel, Auditor of Public Accounts. This letter (as well as the reports of the Auditor for a long time past, which are in accordance with the construction given in the latter) shows that the latter of the two constructions above indicated has be¬ come established by half a century of settled practice. In view of this construction the provision obviously belongs in the previous section, and it has accordingly been incorporated in that section as revised. The provision under discussion has been somewhat reduced in length by the exclusion of superfluous words, but its meaning remains un¬ changed. Section 18. This section is obviously concerned with two distinct subject matters, (1) appropriations made by the General Assembly, and (2) the debt of the State. In the reference draft these two matters appear as separate paragraphs, but because of their essentially different nature the two paragraphs have been recast into separate sections. The first paragraph of the reference draft is substantially the same as the corresponding provision in the present Constitution, but the Com¬ mittee of the Whole has added certain amendments as follows: A. The provision as to the two year or “fiscal” appropriation period is made more definite. 1921.] CONSTITUTION’AL CONVENTION. 365 B. The appropriation period is made to begin on a precise date by day and month instead of being measured by the loose method used in the present Constitution. C. An express provision has been inserted permitting obliga¬ tions incurred during the appropriation period to be paid within three months after the period expires. If the paragraph as thus amended is analyzed it will be found to contain the following ideas: 1. A mandate on the General Assembly to provide for the expenses of the Government for a certain period. 2. A provision fixing that period. 3. A provision requiring two-thirds vote to increase appro¬ priations once made. 4. A provision limiting the amount of appropriations to the amount of revenue “authorized by law to be raised in such timed’ 5. A provision as to the “lapsing” of appropriations at the end of the appropriation period. 6. An exception to the last provision allowing three months further time for certain obligations. The first provision of the section as above indicated, being a man¬ date on the General Assembly, has never been construed by the Supreme Court. The provision has been touched upon in T Vhittemore v. The People, 227 Ill., 453 (1907), but in a case that did not affect the Gen¬ eral Assembly. The purpose of this provision has, however, been dis¬ cussed by the Attorney General in the folllowing language: “The object of the Constitutional provision requiring biennial appropriations for the support of the Government is to render all departments of the State Government dependent upon the will of the people as expressed by its representatives and to require the return to the source of power every two years for the necessary means of existence.” (“Opinions of the Attorney General,” 1912, page 1018.) The Debates of the Convention of 1870 show that the provision here in question was adopted upon the assumption that the General Assembly would finish its work and adjourn within the first quarter of the year. (Debates 1870, page 540.) The “first fiscal quarter after adjournment” would therefore end July 1st of the year in question and appropriations would be made accordingly from July 1st to July 1st of every other year. As a matter of fact, the General Assembly for a great many years has continued its sessions into the second quarter of the year, and accordingly the “first fiscal quarter after adjournment ’ ends October 1st instead of July 1st. This explanation shows the obvious wisdom of fixing the appropriation period by precise date, rather than by reference to the time of adjournment of the General Assembly. In this provision as revised, the phrase “ordinary and contingent expenses of the Government” has been shortened to “expenses of the Government.” It will be obvious that the latter phrase includes the former. The use of specific terms by way of enumeration where a gen- JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. "6, . 366 eral and inclusive result is intended, is a fundamental error in legisla¬ tive drafting. (Willard, “Legislative Hand Book,” Section 312.) • The word “fiscal’' as used in the reference draft is taken over from a somewhat similar use of that word in this section in the present Con¬ stitution, where the word appears twice in the same sentence. But the term “fiscal quarter,” which appears there, .has been changed in the reference draft to “fiscal period.” The “period” is precisely and defi¬ nitely fixed by other words in the reference draft and nothing is added by the use of the word “fiscal.” Accordingly this word has been dropped. The second provision above is stated in the reference draft in a way which fixes the “beginning” and the “end” of the “period.” It has been condensed in the section as revised by omitting the part of the provision as to when the period shall “end.” If the length of the period is fixed at two years and the beginning of the period is fixed at July 1st, it is unnecessary to state when the period ends. The third provision above indicated concerns the vote required to increase the “aggregate amount” of appropriations once made. This provision in the reference draft is in the same form in which it appears in the present Constitution. The meaning of the provision is somewhat obscure, because it cannot be said whether the “increase” meant is an increase during the process of passing the appropriation hill or an in¬ crease made after the appropriation bill has become law. Under the established legislative practice the latter of these two constructions has been adopted. (See for example, “Veto Messages”, 1911-12, page 34.) However, in order to make the point entirely clear the provision has been recast to read “after such appropriations have been made”, etc. Other¬ wise the provision has not been changed. The fourth provision above indicated contains a limitation that appropriations shall not “exceed the amount of revenue authorized by law to be raised in such time”. This provision comes without change from the Constitution of 1848. The provision therefore had its origin nearly three-quarters of a century ago and was devised as suitable to the financial and economic conditions of the State existing at that time. The revenue of the State in 1848, and even at the adoption of the Con¬ stitution of 1870, was derived almost entirely from direct taxes on real and personal property. The “amount of revenue” which would be raised in any two };ear period was a fairly constant quantity and could easily be computed in advance. The provision in question was therefore readily applied and was no doubt a desirable limitation. But under modern conditions a totally different situation is presented. In the first place, the revenue of the State is largely made up of special taxes and licenses which were unheard of when this provision was adopted; as for example, automobile taxes, inheritance taxes, and corporation fees. In the second place, the amount of these taxes changes rapidly with chang¬ ing conditions, so that it is no longer practicable to forecast in advance the revenue to be raised by them. In the third place, a vast increase has taken place in the amount of appropriations. Thus, in the year 1873-74 the total amount of appropriations was $6,648,187. Over against this figure there may be set the appropriations for the year 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. o /? ry O O i 1919-20, amounting to $63,436,059. The latter figure includes only the appropriations for the expenses of the Government and does not include bond issues for waterways and highways amounting to the further sum of $109,195,124. It will be apparent from what has been stated that this provision has lost its usefuluness. If a guess be made by the General Assembly as to the “amount of revenue to be raised” and the appropria¬ tions based upon that amount, the guess is quite likely to be wrong; it will be either much too low or much too large. Another reason against the retention of this provision is the fact that it has never been enforced, and in the nature of things cannot be enforced. If the appropriations actually exceed the “amount of revenue to be raised”, what is the result? Are all appropriations made by the General Assembly void? Or are all appropriations to be reduced pro rata? Or are the last appropriations made in point of time invalid? Or does the Auditor pay bills until the revenue is exhausted and then stop payment on further vouchers? These questions would be practical and cogent if the provision was in fact enforced. The Supreme Court, in the case of Fergus v. Brady, 277 Ill. 272 (1917), has recognized the situation here under consideration. An effort was made in that case to make the Court say that the amount of appropriations should depend upon the amount of revenue to be raised by the State tax rate. But the Court refused to take that view, and said in its opinion: “Circumstances may occur that will cause the reasonable ex¬ pectations of the General Assembly as to the amount of revenue to miscarry or not to be fulfilled/'’ The Court indicated that the provision allowing the State to borrow money up to $250,000 was inserted for the purpose of making the pro¬ vision here under discussion elastic and practicable. In view of what has been said this provision has been dropped. The fifth provision above indicated, as it appears in the reference draft, has been substantially changed from the corresponding provision in the present Constitution; while the sixth provision above indicated is new in the reference draft. The new provision is really an exception to the rule laid down by the present Constitution; the exception merely puts in express form the existing construction of this section, under which appropriations are valid for three months after the July 1st in question, if the obligation has been incurred before that time. As re¬ vised, the two sentences are expressed in a single sentence. The two provisions have been reduced to about one-third of their length as ex¬ pressed in the reference draft, while the meaning conveyed has not been changed. The section as revised has been broken up into several paragraphs for the purpose of clarifying it and making its provisions easier to grasp. It will be noted that this part of Section IS concerns itself with limitations on the General Assembly as to appropriation bills. In Sec¬ tion 16 of the Executive Article of the present Constitution there is found a provision requiring appropriation bills to he itemized by the General Assembly. This provision has been carried over in the same section and the same article in the reference draft. The provision is 368 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6^ obviously out of place in the Executive Article, which should concern itself with limitations upon executive officers. The logical place for the provision in question is in the Legislative Article, and it has accord¬ ingly been put in this section. Section isy 2 . The provisions of the reference draft affecting the debt incurring power of the State are expressed in two sentences, each of which is long and involved. The paragraph here concerned must be read over and over again to get at its real meaning. When the para¬ graph is analyzed it will be found to contain the following ideas: 1. The State may contract debts up to one million dollars to meet deficits in revenue. 2. The money so borrowed must be used for the specific pur¬ pose for which it is borrowed, or pay the debt for which it was borrowed. 3. Further debts without limit may be incurred to pay claims arising in case of war, etc. 4. No other debt may be incurred except upon the following conditions: (a) There must be a referendum on the law creating the debt. (b) The law must be approved by a majority of all those voting at a general election. (c) The law must be published for three months before the election. (d) Payment of interest must be provided for when the debt is incurred, either by a special tax or by set¬ ting aside particular revenues. (e) If the interest is to be paid by a tax, the law pro¬ viding for the tax must be submitted to the people for approval with the law authorizing it; and is irrepealable if it becomes law. The provisions thus found in the reference draft are substantially the same as the provisions in the corresponding section in the present Constitution, except that the debt limit to meet casual deficits has been increased from $250,000 to $1,000,000. • But the Convention has indirectly created an exception to this sec¬ tion by adopting the proposal on Canals and Waterways. There is a direct conflict in the reference draft between the provision of this section, as to “no other debt,” etc., and the provision of the Canals and Water¬ ways Proposal authorizing the General Assembly to incur an additional debt up to ten million dollars without a referendum. It is necessary to reconcile the Canals and Waterways Proposal with the section here under discussion; and this has been done by inserting a special provision as indicated. The first three ideas outlined above ma} ; logically be expressed in a single sentence, which should include also the provision referring to the Canals and Waterways Proposal. The provision as thus revised obviates the necessity of making an exception of debts incurred in case of war, etc. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL COXVEXTIOX. 369 In the reference draft, and also in the Constitution of 1870, the limitation indicated in aSTo. 2 above applies only to debts incurred to meet “casual deficits.” This restriction of the limitation here concerned seems to be an obvious oversight. Upon principle this limitation—that the money so raised must be used for the specific purpose for which it is borrowed—should apply equally to all State debts which are not incurred under specific authority of law and approved by the people at a referendum. Such is the law, for example, in Michigan, where a similar limitation appears in the Constitution of 1908. (Section 10, Article X). The limitation there is made applicable to debts incurred for deficits in revenue as well as debts incurred in case of war, etc., and for other purposes. Accordingly in the section as revised this limitation has been placed at the end of the first paragraph, where it modifies all of the debts previously mentioned. • The long and complicated sentence of the reference draft here con¬ cerned has been rearranged and each idea expressed separately. As thus revised the sentence has been considerably shortened and its provisions made easier of comprehension, but without changing its meaning. The fourth idea above outlined, with its five conditions, may logically be expressed in a separate paragraph. In the reference draft the various ideas here concerned are expressed in a confused and obscure ^ manner. As revised, this part of the section contains each of the ideas * outlined expressed in four sentences, which follow one another in logical order. Various minor changes made in this part of the section need not be discussed. All of the provisions of the reference draft have been included without any change in meaning. Section 19. If this section is analyzed it will be found to contain two main ideas: 1. A provision forbidding extra compensation to be given by law to persons in public employ or to contractors on public work. 2. A provision forbidding contract claims against the State unless they have been authorized in advance by law—-with three exceptions enumerated. In the reference draft these ideas, which are inherently different, are thrown together in a single sentence; while the exceptions are added as a proviso at the end of the section. The sentence structure is thereby made illogical and the meaning of the section rendered obscure. In the section as revised these two ideas have been separated and each expressed in a single sentence. The exceptions have been made to appear as such and placed at the end of the second sentence, since they modify only that sentence. By putting the two sentences into the passive voice a considerable saving of words is effected without change of meaning. In the first part of the section the words “agent” and “servant’ have been omitted. The words “public officer, employe or contractor” have been used in the sense of including the words “agent’ and sen ant . A servant is obviously included within the word “employe”. An agent is either an employe who draws a salary or is paid wages, or he is a “contractor” who is paid commissions under a contract. In the reference draft the second provision above indicated is stated in a double form; the claims in question against the State are first for- —24 C J JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. C>, 3;o bidden, and second, they are made “null and void”. In the sentence as revised the second form alone has been adopted. If such claims are made “void” no further language is needed to strengthen or emphasize that statement. „ , , u The words “null and void” mean no more than void , and the latter term has accordingly been adopted. , Section 20. This section on its face purports to forbid State aid to any individual, association, or public or private corporation—either by grant of money or by assuming a debt or obligation. The proposed Constitution, however, contains a number of provisions which are in conflict with the section as thus worded in the reference draft. For example, Section 4 of the Article on Education permits such aid under certain limited circumstances. Again, the proposal concerning “Farm Land Credits” permits such aid to particular groups of individuals. The provision regarding “Pension Funds” permits such aid under ceitam circumstances. To a less degree, the “Forestry Proposal’ 5 amounts to an exception to this section, since it is really an indirect form of btate subsidy. Other examples might be given, but these are enough to show that this section must be made subject to whatever specific provisions there may be found contrary to it in other parts of the Constitution. The reference draft attempts to secure an all-inclusive result by enumerating the various acts or kinds of transactions which are 01 bidden. Attention has already been called in this report to the funda¬ mental error in legislative drafting here involved. By adopting the general terms “money or credit of the State 55 and forbidding their use m general terms, the purpose of the section is reached more directly and more completely than is done by the reference diaft. The phrase “public or other corporation 55 is obscure, since the words ‘public 55 and “other 55 are not complementary to each other. The word “private” is properly used in contra-distinction with the word public , and accordingly it has been adopted in the section as revised. . Attention should be called here to the fact that this section is large¬ ly duplicated by the new provision inserted in the Eevenue Article, to the effect that taxes may be collected “for public purposes only . I he two provisions should logically be construed together. As revised the section has been considerably shortened, but its mean¬ ing has not been changed. „ p* Section 21. The first sentence of this section m the reference draft is copied—but in a modified form—from the corresponding provision ot the present Constitution. That provision fixed the pay and mileage of members of the General Assembly, but provided that the matter^mig , be regulated by law. The subejct was subsequently regulated by statute so that the provision of the present Constitution is no onger m nT m has served its purpose. The first sentence of the reference draft is therefore needless. 1 It amounts merely to a constitutiona recognition of the existing statute on the subject and provides furthei that th statute mly be" changed. Everything that is said in he sentence wdl be accomplished if the Constitution is silent on the point. Th .. . tence has accordingly been dropped. (i , CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 371 1921.] The second sentence of the section in the reference draft contains a limitation which affects all public officers as well as members of the General Assembly—namely, that their pay shall not be increased 01 ^ di¬ minished during their terms. A number of other provisions of the Con¬ stitution contain similar limitations: Section 23, Article V, affecting the officers named m the ex¬ ecutive Article. „ Section 7, Article VI, affecting members of the Supreme Court. Section 16, Article VI, affecting judges of the Circuit Courts. Section 25, Article VI, affecting the judges of the Circuit and statutory courts, and the State’s Attorney in Cook County. Section 11, Article IX, affecting “municipal officeis. Section 10, Article X, affecting “county officers.’ 5 In the section as revised a single provision has been drafted covering all these officers, and it is suggested that the new section be placed in a general article on “Officers”. Thereby a single uniform provision on the point will appear in the Constitution at a place where it logically belongs. Furthermore, a substantial saving of words will be effected by omitting provisions which duplicate each other. The rest of the section as found in the reference draft contains two limitations affecting members of the Geneial Assembly. 1. Their pay and mileage must be certified by their respective presiding officers and published in the journals. 2. Xo member of the General Assembly shall receive any other compensation or allowance. , The first provision is expressed in substantially the same words as the reference draft. However, the pronoun “their” as used in the ref¬ erence draft is ungrammatical; it does not have a proper antecedent. This defect has been corrected in the provision as revised. ^ In the second provision the words “compensation or allowance are adopted as inclusive terms. Any payment or reward or benefit of a re¬ munerative character should be held to be included within the limitation as thus expressed. The provision is not improved or strengthenec } the words “directly or indirectlv for any purpose whatever ; these words have accordingly been dropped. i T Section 22. This section was new m the Constitution ol n has been adopted in the reference draft without change, except oi one minor point, which will be noted hereafter. « The Constitution of 1818 contained no such list of limitations af¬ fecting the General Assembly. The Constitution of 1848 contained but two limitations of this character: First, legislative divorces were for¬ bidden, and second, the sale of privately owned real estate was forbidden by private law. The rejected Constitution of 1862 (Section 30, Article IV) contained a list of eight such limitations. In the Constitution oi 1870 the list was increased to twenty-three, and in addition several simi¬ lar limitations were incorporated in other parts of the Constitution. This development in the constitutional history of the State shows the increasing concern which came to be felt over the custom of passing special legislation. The custom in fact had grown to be excessive at the time of the adoption of the present constitution, as is shown by the 372 JOURXAL OF THE [Sept. 6, lact that at the previous session of the General Assembly in 1869 four \ olumes de\ oted to special legislation alone were enacted. The pro- Asions adopted in 18 ( U have been effective and under modern conditions there has been no demand for amplifying this section. The introductory clause of the section has been made shorter and more direct, but its meaning has not been changed. A o change has been made in the first two provisions of the section. In the next provision the words "laying out and “opening 5 * are stnony- mous' and the former term has been dropped. The words “public hi°h- a at s ha\ e been used as the equivalent of "roads or highways**. In the next provision the word “highways** has again been used as the equivalent of “roads * * *, streets, alleys**. The provision as to changing county seats has been dropped as un¬ necessary. This provision is duplicated in the Counties Article by a section specificall} providing the manner for changing county seats, and the method there gr\en is obviously exclusive. Moreover, the next pro¬ vision in this section as to regulating county and township affairs would include changing county seats. The next three provisions of the section are all concerned with courts. A provision similar in meaning is found in Section 50 of the proposed Judiciary Article. This latter provision has been consolidated v itli the thiee provisions here in question and all of them have been included in this provision as here revised. The wisdom of bringing together these scattered provisions will be obvious. The pro's ision as to incorporating cities, etc., has- been reduced in length, but its meaning has not been changed. The provision as to election of boards of supervisors has been dropped because its meaning is fully covered by the provision already noted affecting township affairs and by the provision already noted affecting the affairs of cities, towns and villages. The provision regarding juries has been reduced in length but with¬ out change in meaning. The provisions as to public schools, rates of interest, conduct of elections, sale of property of persons under disability^, protection of game and fish, chartering ferries, and remitting fines, have each been some¬ what rephrased but no change in meaning has been made in any of them. The only change made by the Committee of the Whole in this sec¬ tion was to permit “reasonable classification of waters** for the protec¬ tion of game and fish. This amendment was made necessary by the de¬ cision of the Supreme Court in the case of People v. Wilcox. 237 Ill., 421 (1908). In that case it was held that no distinction could be made by statute between Lake Michigan and any river or stream in the State, so far as regulation of fishing was concerned, because of the provision here in question in the Constitution of 1870. (See Debates May 26, 1920, page 35; see also People v. Diekman, 285 Ill. 97, 1918). The provision as to fees or allowances of public officers has been dropped, since the purpose of this provision is fully covered by the gen¬ eral provision affecting public officers as suggested in Section 21 y 2 above. The remaining three provisions of the section have been condensed without change in meaning. 1921.] COXSTITUTIOXAL COXVEXTIOX. As thus revised, by the omission of unnecessary words and of dupli¬ cated provisions, the section has been reduced in length nearly one-half. Section 23. The first sentence of the reference draft is substan¬ tially the same as Section 23, Article IV, of the present Constitution, hut the provision has been extended by the Committee of the V hole to include “political subdivisions of the State”. The rest of the section in the reference draft is new. If the section is analyzed it will be found to contain the following- ideas : 1. No law shall release any liability due the State or any sub¬ division of it including municipal corporations. 2. Statutes of limitations, however, may be passed effective against such liabilities after 20 years. 3. Such statutes of limitation shall not begin to run in favor of a public officer until an official audit is had. The last two ideas are expressed in the reference draft by means of provisos. The disadvantages of the use of provisos have already been discussed in the previous reports of this Committee. As revised, the use of the provisos has been avoided and the section has been con¬ siderably shortened without any change in meaning. The word “liability” has been substituted for the words “indebted¬ ness, liability or obligation”. “Liability” is defined by the Century Dictionary as “a fixed or contingent obligation”. The word obviously includes an indebtedness, and is therefore an inclusive term which may be used alone. Section 2k. This section is a new one. Prior to 1915 the practice had become established of permitting legislative committees to sit after the final adjournment of the General Assembly and providing appro¬ priations for their use after such adjournment. This practice, howe^ei, was declared invalid by the Supreme Court in the case of Fergus v. Russel, 270 Ill., 304 (1915). The purpose of this section is to permit what the Supreme Court held invalid under the existing Constitution. (Debates May 26, 1920, page 36). The reference draft enumerates the purposes for which such a committee may sit. Such a provision is unnecessary, since the Com¬ mittee will have the same powers after adjournment as before if the life of the Committee is continued. The language of the reference draft has been condensed also in other respects, but the meaning of the sec¬ tion has not been changed. Section 25. This section concerns the power of the General Assem¬ bly over impeachments. In the present Constitution the subject, of impeachment is dealt with in two widely separated sections, the subject is partly regulated by this section and partly by Section 15 of the Ex¬ ecutive Article. Such a division of a single concise subject is inherently wrong. Accordingly Section 15 of Article V has been transferred to this section and has been placed at the beginning of the section where it logically belongs, without material change in its wording. Section 26. This section is a consolidation of parts of Sections ! •> and 25 of Article TV of the present Constitution. However, the pro¬ visions as there found have been made much broader and moie drastic. JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, 374 The Debates of the Convention (May 26, 1920, p. 37, and May 27, p. 8 et seq.) show a clear intention to make these provisions comprehensive and severe. The section as expressed in the reference draft contains three provisions: 1. No member of the General Assembly may be interested in any contract with the State or any of its subdivisions, including municipal corporations, if the law authorizing the contract is passed during the term of such member, or during one year after he has ceased to be a member. 2. All State officers are forbidden to be interested in any State contract. 3. All other public officers are forbidden to be interested in any contract made with any city, county, or township, etc., of which they are officers. « In the section as revised each of these provisions has been drafted in a separate paragraph for purposes of clarity. Under the language of the reference draft an important question arises as to how far these provisions are self executing. If any of the officers mentioned has an interest in a contract contrary to these pro¬ visions, is the contract void or is it merely voidable at the option of the State or county or city? There has been considerable variance in the interpretation given by courts to provisions of a similar character in other constitutions and in the statutes of other states. Some jurisdictions hold the contracts void and others hold them merelv voidable. See dis- cussion on this point in 6 R. C. L. 740 and cases there cited; see also Young v. City of Mankato (Minn. 1905), 105 Northwestern, 969. The better doctrine seems to be that such contracts are merely voidable at the option of the State, county or city, etc., unless the language of the Constitutional provision or the statute requires the contract to be held void. See note to Bay v. Davidson, 9 L. R. A., N. S. 1014 (Iowa 1907). There has been no construction by the courts of this State which is de¬ cisive of the point, and the language of the provision in the reference draft cannot be said to be decisive of it. The question here involved was raised and discussed in the Debates, but a motion to reconsider the section for the purpose of discussing this question was lost. (Debates May 27, p. 7 et seq.) The position of the Convention on the point is therefore uncertain, and the question will be left to construction by the courts unless the Convention decides it by appropriate action. Another question at once arises as to the effect of these provisions on any officer who may violate them. Does he thereby oust himself from office? This question was also raised in the Debates (May 27. 1920, p. 12) and the provision was construed as automatically rendering the office vacant when the facts as to violation of the provision by any offi¬ cer are disclosed. As the first provision has been revised it expresses the intention of the Convention in a somewhat more direct and shorter form than the reference draft. Provisions similar to the one here in question are found in a number of other state constitutions. (For list of such states CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 3?5 1921.] see Index Digest State Constitutions, New York Constitutional Conven¬ tion 1915, p. 1109). . .. , The second provision above indicated appears m practicall) tne same form as the reference draft. Similar provisions appear in a num¬ ber of other state constitutions. (Tor list of such states see Index Di¬ gest State Constitutions, New York Constitutional Convention, p. 1111). Attention should be called to the provision appearing in the pro¬ posed new Constitution for Pennsylvania. The provision there pro¬ posed (Section 20, Article IV) is as follows: “No member of the General Assembly or officer or employe of the state government shall be interested in a contract with the state government, or in furnishing thereto materials or supplies. It will be noted that the provision of the reference draft applies only to contracts of the State and in this respect is narrower than the provisions in most other state constitutions. However, the lennstDania provision as proposed extends the limitation to employes as veil as offi¬ cers. In commenting on the provision the Commission which drafted it says: (Reports of the Commission, p. 240.) “The section as proposed extends the prohibition to all em¬ ployes of the State Government, as well as to all officers. The present Constitution confines the prohibition to officers/ 7 The change made in the Pennsylvania draft involves a change in policy which does not come within the scope of the duties of this C om¬ mittee. The matter is called to the attention of the Convention for such action as it sees fit to take. The third provision above indicated is a new one in the Constitution of this State. The intention of the Convention as shown by the Debates was to make the provision applicable only to contracts made with the particular city, county, township, etc., with which the officer concerned may be connected. The uncertainty of the language in the reference draft on this point has been cleared up. ; The obvious purpose of all of these provisions is to prevent the officeL from using his official position for his own profit. 1 he pio\ision> do not intend to prohibit a public officer from being interested in any con¬ tract to the same extent as all other citizens. In other words, public officers should not be forbidden to be interested in contracts for leasons of patriotism, morality or other grounds affecting the public good. Ac¬ cordingly the word “beneficial” has been inserted in all three of the pro¬ visions as revised to make this point clear. Section 27. This section is taken over without change from the present Constitution. This provision first appeared in the Constitution of 1848, at a time when lotteries had grown to be a matter or graw* public concern. The entire purpose of the section is expressed m the short form of the section as revised. Section 28. This section has not been changed except to shorten it. Sections 29 and 30. These sections have been consolidated in the draft as revised, since they are related in form and subject matter. sec¬ tion 29 of the reference draft is Section 30 of the present Constitution without change. Section 30 of the reference draft is Section 31 ot the 37 G JOURNAL OF THE present Constitution in a revised and extended form. Taken together the two sections contain three ideas: 1. The General Assembly may provide for opening' private roads across the land of other owners. 2. The General Assembly may provide for the opening of drains, ditches and levees across the lands of other owners for cer¬ tain specified purposes. 3. The General Assembly may provide for organizing drain¬ age districts for certain specified purposes and for giving such dis¬ tricts powers of eminent domain and special assessment as well as giving them State aid. The first two of these provisions have been put in the Constitution for the purpose of rebutting limitations on the General Assembly which arise from implied limitations growing out of decisions of the courts as to “police power” and “due process.” The provision with reference to private roads was placed in the present Constitution for the purpose of obviating two decisions of the Supreme Court which had previously held that the General Assembly had no such power. (Nesbitt v. Trumbo. 39 Ill., 110 (1866) and the Crear v. Crossly, 40 Ill., 175 (1866). (See Debates 1870, p. 889.) There has been no construction of this section by the Supreme Court since the section was adopted. The provision in the present Constitution with reference to ditches and levees was amended in 1878 for the purpose of giving the General Assembly power to authorize drainage districts and give them the right to levy special assessments. However, considerable doubt has arisen whether drainage districts have the power of special assessment under this section and under Section 9 of Article IX, which must be construed with it. There is also doubt as to the power of the General Assembly to give drainage districts power of eminent domain. The uncertainty about the power of the General Assembly in these two respects has hampered the organ¬ ization of drainage districts in many parts of the State. (See Debates June 23, 1920, p. 10.) The Committee of-the Whole has added a further provision intended to authorize State aid to drainage districts. The power of the General Assembly to grant State aid to such districts is probably forbidden by Section 20. Article IV, of the present Constitution, although there has been no express decision of the point by the courts. It is apparent therefore that these three provisions are really excep¬ tions to general provisions appearing elsewhere in the Constitution. Under these exceptions the General Assembly is permitted to do certain particular things which otherwise it would be prohibited from doing. Accordingly it seems best to phrase the section in a form that shows clearly its purpose and meaning along the lines above discussed. The last sentence of the section has been added for the purpose of negativing the implied limitations which might arise from the grants of power here given. This sentence has been somewhat revised and shortened, but its meaning, purpose and effect remain unchanged. Section 31. This section is the same as Section 32 of the present Constitution. It appeared in the Constitution for the first time in 1870, although the rejected Constitution of 1862 (see Article XIV) contained CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 1921.] oV * a long and elaborate provision of a similar kind. The provision has been copied into the Constitution of Colorado (Article XVIII. Section 1) and into the Constitution of Montana. (Article XIX, Section 4.; None of the other forty-five states have any similar provision in their constitutions. The reasons are obvious: First, the General Assembly has the power to pass such laws without such a provision; and second, although the provision is in the form of a mandate on the General As¬ sembly, yet that body’s discretion in the matter is not subject to control. The provision is futile from the point of view of constitutional law. This section of the Constitution of 1870 has never been construed by our Supreme Court, and since the discretion of the General Assembly cannot be regulated by the court it is unlikely that the provision will be construed in the future. The provisions appearing in the Constitution of Colorado has been mentioned but not construed by the Supreme Court of that State in Keith v. Bedwell, 52 Col., 310. The same thing is true of the provision in the Constitution of Montana, where the provision has been mentioned only in one case, Mennell v. Wells, 51 Mont., 141- No revision of the section is suggested; if the section is to remain, the form of the section appearing in the reference draft need not be changed. However, for the reasons already given, the omission of the section from the Constitution is suggested. Section 32. This section is a new one. The purpose of the section is to permit the regulation of public pension systems, whether of the State or of any county or city, etc., in three respects: 1. By permitting the pension systems to be put upon a sound actuarial basis, so that the amounts contributed by the employes and the public will be sufficient to keep'these systems in a solvent con¬ dition. 2. By authorizing the State, County or City, etc., to give the employe a vested interest in the accumulated portion of his pension. 3. By forbidding any financial burden to be placed on the State, County or City, etc., for the purpose of making up deficiencies in pension systems. The pension laws now in force have been sustained under the present Constitution. (Hughes v. Traeger, 264 Ill., 612, 1914; People v. Abbott, 274 Ill., 380, 1916.) The system generally established by these laws is for the State, County or City, etc., to contribute the major part of the pension fund and the minor part to be deducted from the pay of the employe. The systems are therefore partly gratuitous and partly sup¬ ported by the employes; but the entire fund is held to be “public money,’’ not withstanding the fact that a considerable part of it has been deducted from the wages of the employes. Moreover, under the present Consti¬ tution the employe has no vested interest in the fund ; he has only an expectancy created by the law, which the law may at any time revoke or destroy. (Pennie v. Peis. 132 TJ. S., 464; also Illinois cases cited above.) In view of the unsettled state of the law so far as constitutional restrictions are concerned, the General Assembly has, so far, hesitated to attempt a modern revision of the pension laws of the Stale. Theie aie, however, as has already been stated, numerous pension systems in opei- ation, most of them organized under separate laws; and it is estimated 378 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, that more than 60,000 public employes in the State are interested in these pension systems. It is hoped by the advocates of this section that it will crystalize and settle the legal status of these pension systems and will permit the General Assembly to proceed to put them on a sound actuarial basis so far as that may be done. It should be borne in mind, however, that this provision is merely an authorization to the General Assembly and is in no way self executing. The provision does not afiect the status of any of these systems, nor does it affect any person who is a pensioner under them. In other words, the entire purpose of the section is to untie the hands of the General Assembly regarding these pension systems. The Debates in Committee of the Whole indicate that some mem¬ bers of the Convention were concerned lest the State, County, or City, etc., might be required to make good deficiencies in some or all of these pension systems. However, the provision outlined in No. 3 above was inserted for the purpose of preventing any such possibility. By this provision the General Assembly is forbidden to enact (1) any law giving the employe a vested interest in any public funds other than those accumulated for pension purposes, and (2) any law adding a financial burden to the State, County, or City, etc., which has established the pension system. , Added Section. This section is a revision of Deference Ao. 18, m regard to Forestry, and is a new provision in the Constitutional law of this State. The section consists of two parts: 1. A mandate on the General Assembly to pass laws encourag¬ ing forestry. . * 2. A provision which is really an exception to the Revenue Article permitting the classification of forest lands for purposes of taxation. . . The section as revised has been changed only m minor details trom the form in which it appears in the reference draft. This reference proposal (Bef. No. 18) obviously belongs m the Legislative Article and has therefore been incorporated here. Added Section. This section is a revision of Reference No. 21, con¬ cerning Amendments to the Federal Constitution, and is also a new provision in the constitutional law of this State. Its purpose is to per¬ mit the people of the State to have an indirect referendum on a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution. In other words, the people of the State are given the right to express themselves at an elec¬ tion on a proposed amendment by voting for candidates who may be pledged one way or the other as to the amendment. The reference draft attempts to reach this result by requiring a number of procedural steps whenever a Federal amendment is proposed. The simpler way to reach the result intended is to require the elec ion to be held before the amendment may be considered by the proper aut fi or " ities of the State. If this is done it is unnecessary to provide the method for considering the amendment, since the existing law takes care of that matter. The section has accordingly been revisedl along the lines here suggested. As revised it is m the general form adopted by Florida CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 379 1921.] (XVI-19) and Tennessee (11-32), which are the only states m the Union having similar provisions in their constitutions. The reference draft has in it an obvious defect since it assumes that Federal Amendments may be considered only by the General As¬ sembly. The Federal Constitution provides that its amendments may be considered in the states either by a convention called for the pur¬ pose or by the General Assembly of the State. The reference aiaf't o^ei- looks the former method, and this oversight has been collected in the section as revised. The subject matter of this provision (Reference No. 21) is inti¬ mately connected with the subject of legislation. It therefore logically belongs in this article. Report No. 13. YOUR COMMITTEE ON PHRASEOLOGY AND STYLE, TO WHICH WAS REFERRED A PROPOSAL ENTITLED CANALS AND WATERWAYS, (INTRODUCTION NO. 377, REFERENCE NO. 16) AS AMENDED IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, RESPECTFULLY REPORTS THAT IT HAS CONSIDERED SUCH PROPOSAL AND HEREWITH SETS FORTH IN PARALLEL COLUMNS SAID PROPOSAL AS ADOPTED IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ON THE LEFT AND A SUBSTITUTE THEREFORE AS RECOM¬ MENDED BY THIS COMMITTEE ON THE RIGHT. Resolved That the following shall become a part of the Constitu¬ tion of Illinois: The Illinois Waterway and Illinois j and Michigan Canal. Section 1. Bonds in the sum of twenty million dollars heretofore authorized under and pursuant to an amendment to the Constitution of 1870, ratified by the voters on No¬ vember 3, 1908, and proclaimed adopted November 24, 1908, for the construction, maintenance and equip¬ ment of the Illinois Waterway and its appurtenances, when issued and sold, shall be valid obligations of the State, and the proceeds thereof shall he applied to the purposes for which they were authorized. Section 2. The General Assembly may make either additional appro¬ priations or may authorize bonds to be issued and sold for the construc¬ tion, maintenance, operation, exten¬ sion, enlargement or equipment of the Illinois Waterway, or its ap¬ purtenances, in addition to the bonds heretofore authorized; but the aggre¬ gate amount of all such additional appropriations and bonds, except as Section 1. (Reference Sections 1, 2, 3 and 6.) In addition to the pro¬ ceeds of the twenty million dollars of bonds heretofore authorized for the deep waterway, ten million dol¬ lars may be expended therefor and all or part thereof secured by issu¬ ing bonds. The State shall make no other expenditure for any canal or waterway or appurtenance thereto except from the income thereof un¬ less the expenditure is approved by a majority of all those voting at a general election. (Combined with Section 1.) 380 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6. otherwise provided in Section 3 of this article, shall not exceed ten million dollars, unless the law malt¬ ing such appropriations or authoriZ' ing such bonds shall first have been submitted to a vote of the people of the State at a general election, and have been approved by a majority of all the votes polled at such election. Section 3. The gross or total pro¬ ceeds, receipts and income of the Illinois Waterway and its appurte¬ nances, and of the Illinois and Mich¬ igan Canal, may be appropriated or | pledged for the construction, main¬ tenance, operation, extension, en¬ largement, or equipment of such waterway and its appurtenances, or of such canal. Section 4. No waterway or canal owned or improved by the State shall be sold or leased, except as provided herein, until the specific proposition for the sale or lease thereof shall have been submitted to the electors of the State at a gem eral election and approved by a ma¬ jority of those voting at the elec¬ tion. Section 5. The General Assembly may authorize the lease of the Illi¬ nois and Michigan Canal, or any part thereof, or to provide terminals in connection with the Illinois Waterway or other navigable chan¬ nel. Such terminals shall be for public use upon equal terms. Section 6. No appropriation for the Illinois’ and Michigan Canal shall be made from the State treas¬ ury, except from the special fund in the treasury arising from the pro¬ ceeds, receipts and income of such canal. Otherwise than as in this article provided, the General As¬ sembly shall never loan the credit of the State or make appropriations from the treasury thereof in aid of canals. (Combined with Section 1.) Section 2. (Reference Sections 4, 5 and 7.) No canal or waterway or integral part thereof, owned or im¬ proved by the State shall be leased or sold, except upon approval of a majority of all those voting at a general election. The General As¬ sembly, however, may authorize the lease of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, or any part thereof, to pro¬ vide terminals in connection with other navigable channels; such ter¬ minals to be for public use without discrimination. Leases of State canals and waterways and of State property held in connection there¬ with shall be subject to revaluation every twenty years. (Combined with Section 9 ' (Combined with Section 1.) 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 381 Section 7. Leases for water power or railway or terminal purposes shall be subject to a revaluation for each twenty years of the term created. (Combined with Section 2.) Respectfully submitted, Elam L.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 377, being a Proposal entitled Canals and Waterways. The subject of Canals was not mentioned in the Constitution of 1818 nor in the Constitution of 1848. The proposed constitution of 1862 was likewise silent on the subject. In 1870 the Convention adopted a provision which appears in “Separate Section 4“' of the present Con¬ stitution. The provision was simple and consisted of two short para¬ graphs. It forbade the sale or lease of the Illinois and Michigan Canal or any other canal “owned by the State”, except on referendum; and it forbade also appropriations to canals or railroads, except that the sur¬ plus earnings of a canal might be used for its maintenance or extension. The Debates of the Convention of 1870 show that the section was adopted for two reasons. In the first place, it was intended to prevent the rail¬ roads from buying up or leasing the Illinois and Michigan Canal for the purpose of driving out competition (Debates, pp. 311, 470) ; and in the second place, to prevent the canal from becoming a burden on the . State. (Debates, pp. 484-487.) By a constitutional amendment adopted in 1908, two further para¬ graphs were added to the section. The purpose of the amendment was likewise two-fold. It permitted the General Assembly to provide for the construction of a “deep waterway” from Lockport to Utica anu author¬ ized the expenditure of twenty million dollars for that work; and it provided that leases of water power developed from the waterway might be made, but the income from such leases must be paid into the State treasury and the leases must be subject to revaluation every ten years. The provisions of the section as they existed prior to 1908 gave rise to comparatively little difficulty, and the Supreme Court has been called upon to construe them in only three cases. The first of these provisions was in fact not enforced until the case ot Burke v. Snivelv, 208 Ill. 328, was decided in 1904. That case terminated the practice which had grown up in the General Assembly of making biennial ap¬ propriations to pay deficits in the operation of the canal, the second provision as adopted in 1870 seems likewise to have been given little practical consideration for nearly forty years after its adoption. In JOURNAL OF THE | Sept. 6, 1909 the Supreme Court, in the case of City of Chicago v. Green, 238 Ill., 258, gave this provision a narrow construction. The court held that the provision forbade even the granting to the City of Chicago of the right to maintain a sewer under the canal, and that the most that could be granted in view of this provision was a license revocable at the will of the State. The reference draft has enlarged the subject of Canals and Water¬ ways and made of it a separate article containing seven rather long sec¬ tions. The subject seems thereby to be given a significance out of line with the established constitutional policy of the State and out of pro¬ portion with the importance of the subject-matter involved. Moreover, the elaborate and complex wording of the proposal as adopted seems un¬ necessary to accomplish the intention of the Convention. The proposal therefore has been revised and consolidated into two sections, which in¬ clude all the ideas of the seven sections of the reference draft. In view of the complete revision made, a detailed explanation of the various changes suggested in the wording of the sections is not practicable. Section 1. This section has only one purpose, namely, to reaffirm the validity of the bond issue for the Illinois Waterway previously author¬ ized bv the General Assemblv acting under the Amendment of 1908, As the section is worded, however, it is open to an unfortunate construction: it seems to intimate that this bond issue may be of questionable validity at the present time. This construction is due to the fact that the section purports by its terms to make the bond issue “valid”. The only neces- sitv for anv such recital as that contained in the section grows out of the other provisions of the article, which contain inclusive limitations affecting all appropriations or bond issues for canals. As the provision has been revised this possible misconstruction has been avoided. In the Constitutional Amendment of 1908 the term “deep water¬ way” is used to describe the proposed canal. The General Assembly, by an Act approved June’ 18, 1915, provided for “the construction of a deep waterway or canal to be known as the Illinois Waterway”. This act was repealed by the Act of June 17, 1919, (Hurd’s Revised Statutes. Chap. 19, Sections 76 to 104), which is now the law under which the work is being carried on. The first section of that act provides: A deep waterway shall be constructed from the water power plant of the Sanitary District of Chicago, at or near Lockport, in the township of Lockport, in the County of Will, to a point in the Illinois River at or near Utica. Such waterwav shall be known as “The Illinois Waterwav”. By another act, also approved June 17, 1919, (Hurd’s Revised Statutes, Chap. 19, Section 105 to 117) the General Assembly provided for the issuing of bonds to pay for the canal. By Section 1 of that act the bonds were to be issued “for the purpose of constructing a deep waterway”, the extent of which is described as in the quotation just given; and by Section 2 it is provided that: “Said bonds shall be known as Hllinois Waterway bonds’ ”. It thus appears that the term “Illinois Waterway” is used in both of the acts of the General Assembly provid¬ ing for the canal; but it also appears that both of these acts use the term “deep waterway” as well, which, as already noted, is the term used in the 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. present Constitution. There is no reason why the canal may not be given a special name by statute, but for the purpose of the Constitution ft seems best to stick to the already recognized constitutional term deep waterway”. This term has accordingly been used m the provision as revised instead of the term “Illinois Waterway and its appurtenances , which appears in the reference draft. , Section 2. This section of the reference draft purports to do onlj two things: It permits the General Assembly to provide an additional amount up to ten million dollars for the completion of the deep water- wav: but any further sum for an} r canal or waterway in the State must be approved at a referendum. In the provision as leased these tv o ideas have been expressed in a simpler and shorter form than m the reference draft, but without change in meaning. Section 3 . This section as revised is intended to reenact the second paragraph of “Separate Section 4” of the present Constitution, permit¬ ting the income of a state canal to be used for its maintenance 01 exten¬ sion. The Constitution of 1870 made this provision applicable to “any canal, waterway or water power” belonging to the State, while the ref¬ erence draft limits the application of the section to the Illinois AA Mem way and its appurtenances and the Illinois and Michigan Canal . Under present conditions the same result is accomplished by eithei . ex¬ pression, since the two canals mentioned are in fact the only canals now owned by the State. However, it is possible for the General Assembly under this proposal to provide in the future for other State owned oi State operated canals b}' securing approval from the people at a lefeien- dum. If in the future further canals or waterways should be acquired by fhe State, the provisions of this section should apply to such canals or waterways. Accordingly the words “any canal or waterway” have been restored to the provision as revised. Section U This section also merely reenacts part of “Separate Sec¬ tion 4” of the present Constitution. In other words, this section re¬ quires a referendum on the sale or lease of any state canal or waterw a.^ except as otherwise provided in the article. The language of the ref¬ erence draft has been substantially adopted in the provision as revised. The words “or integral part thereof” have, however, been added after the word “waterway”. Under the language of the reference draft the question might arise as to the sale or lease of some incidental prop¬ erty owned by the canal which would produce revenue for the State, but which would not be of sufficient significance to justify a State-wide ref¬ erendum. Thus there might be certain equipment which was not used because it w r as obsolete or had become useless for the purpose of the canal. Under the provision of the reference draft no sale or lease of such property could be made without a referendum. 1 here is no reason for making the section applicable to insignificant sales ol obsolete prop¬ erty, or even to the sale or lease of incidental lands or property which do not make up an integral part of the canal. The word integral is defined by the Century Dictionary as “belonging as a part to the whole, and not a mere appendage to it”. r I he provision as thus revised con¬ tains an ample guarantee along the lines intended and } c I permits a 384 JOURNAL OF THE [ Sept. 6 ,. certain limited discretion to be exercised in regard to sales or leases of canal property witkout the expense or delay of a State-wide referendum. Section 5. This section is really an exception to the previous sec¬ tion, since it permits the General Assembly to lease the Illinois and Michigan Canal or any part of it for the particular purpose mentioned and under the terms described. The section has been incorporated v. ith- out substantial change in its wording into Section 2 of the proposal as revised. Section 6. This section contains two provisions: First, it forbids any appropriation for the Illinois and Michigan Canal except from its income; and second, it contains a blanket provision forbidding the State to use its funds or credit in aid of any canal, except as authorized in the article. Both of these provisions have been incorporated without change in meaning into Section 1 of the proposal as revised. Section 7. This section provides for the revaluation every twenty years of leases made under authority of the article. The language of the reference draft, however, applies to leases for water power or rail¬ way or terminal purposes”. This language is much broader tnan the subject-matter of the article; properly construed it would cover leases of State property for railway purposes or for any terminal purpose which might be entirely disconnected from canals or waterways. It seems c ear from the context of this section and the other sections of the article that the provision here in question was intended to be applicable only to leases made by the State in connection with its canals and waterways. Ac¬ cordingly this section has been consolidated with Section 2 of the pro¬ posal as revised, and it has been changed along the lines suggestec. Report No. 14.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 361, being a Proposal in Relation to Land Credits. This proposal would incorporate a new policy into the Constitution of the State. Its purpose is to permit the General Assembly to pass legislation similar to the Federal Farm Loan Act of July 17, 1916. Since the Federal Act was passed four states have taken some legis¬ lative action in the same direction. Oregon adopted an amendment to its Constitution in 1916 (Article XIA, Sections 1-11), and passed a statute (Chap 398, General Laws of Oregon, 1917), carrying the amend¬ ment into effect. Xorth Dakota adopted an amendment in 1915. (Con¬ stitution, Article IX, Section 158.) Kansas adopted a constitutional amendment in 1920. (Article XV, Section 11.) But neither of these latter states has so far passed the necessary enabling legislation. In South Dakota legislation has been passed (Chap. 333, Laws of 1917) without a constitutional amendment. Forty-three states of the Union have so far taken no action along the lines of this proposal. There is no doubt that a constitutional amendment is necessary in Illinois if the State is to extend its aid to a program of farm land credits. Article IX, Section 5, of the present Constitution forbids the State from engaging in the banking business in any manner, while Article IV, Section 20, forbids the State to lend its credit to any cor¬ poration, association or individual. This proposal therefore becomes in one sense an exception to each of the constitutional provisions just mentioned. —25 C J i owning, occupying or cultivating the lands pledged. Reasonable prefer¬ ences concerning loans may be given to persons honorably discharged from the armed forces of the United States. 386 JOURNAL OF the [Sept. 6, If the provisions of the reference draft are analyzed they will he found to contain the following ideas: 1. The General Assembly is given specific authority to pro¬ vide for the establishment and maintenance of funds to be used for the purposes described in the proposal. 2. The money is to be loaned upon the security of farm lands in this State. 3. The State cannot appropriate any money or become in¬ debted for this purpose without approval by the people at a refer¬ endum. 4. The loans shall be secured by mortgages or deeds of trust. 5. The loans shall be made only to persons who own, occupy or cultivate the lands pledged. 6. Beasonable preference in regard to loans may be given persons honorably discharged from the armed forces of the United States. The first provision has been somewhat condensed as revised by simply providing that the State may lend money upon farm lands. It is obvious that if the State may lend money it must have the inherent power to provide for the “establishment, maintenance and administra¬ tion” of the funds loaned. The words quoted have accordingly been dropped. The second provision has been adopted in practically the same words as the reference draft. If the third provision is considered it will be apparent from its con¬ text, and from the context of the entire proposal, that the referendum intended is on the question of policy involved, namely, whether the State shall embark on a program of farm loans. The language of the refer¬ ence draft, however, does not accomplish this result, since it provides for a referendum on “appropriations” or “indebtedness”—although these matters chronologically would not come up for consideration until after the question of policy has been decided. Accordingly the provision has been revised to require a referendum on the question of policy here con¬ cerned, rather than on the question of financing the program. The latter question is covered elsewhere in the Constitution. The proposed new Constitution, Article IV, Section 18, provides that no debt shall be incurred by the State (with certain exceptions not here concerned) unless the debt has been approved in the State at a referendum. Ac¬ cordingly it will be necessary, under this proposal as revised, first, to secure a referendum on the question as to whether the State shall engage in the business of farm loans, and second, to secure a referendum on the question of incurring any State debt for this purpose. Of course it will be possible for the General Assembly to appropri¬ ate money without a referendum if no debt is to be incurred—provided the program of farm loans has been approved by the people. But the State can hardly embark on any real scheme in this direction with funds derived solely from appropriations; a bond issue is probably a prere¬ quisite. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 387 The fourth and fifth provisions of the reference draft have been revised in substantially the same form as the reference draft. The last provision above outlined has also been revised in a form which is obviously the same as that of the reference draft, except for certain minor corrections. The “preferences” should not be general in scope, but should be limited specifically to the purpose of this proposal. Accordingly the words “concerning loans” have been incorporated after the word “preferences.” The phrase “armed forces of the United States” has been substituted for the words “military or naval forces of the T nited States. This change is in line with the consistent phraseology •adopted by this Committee in its previous reports. Report No. 15.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 374, being Two Sections From the Proposal in regard to Home Rule for Municipalities. Section 5. This section in the form adopted hv the Committee of the Whole somewhat resembles Section 4 of Article XI of the present Constitution; but in effect the proposed section is so much wider than the existing provision that it really establishes a new policy in the con¬ stitutional law of this State. Two things are significant about the sec¬ tion as adopted in the reference draft: 1. The section is transferred from the article on Corpora¬ tions to the proposal on “Home Kule for Cities.” 2. The application of the section is enlarged from “street rail¬ roads” to “any public utility.” The Debates (June 29, 1920, pp. 28-30) show, however, that the intention of the Convention was to make the proposal even broader than is indicated by the reference draft; for it appears that the real intention of the Convention is to make the section applicable to any individual as well as any public utility whenever the streets or public grounds of a municipal corporation are put to a special use. In other words, any corporation or person using the streets or public grounds of a city for a special use which requires a franchise, must get the consent of the municipal corporation, and such consent cannot be granted by the General Assembly. This policy is in accordance with that adopted in a number of other states and with the advancing tendency toward home rule which has been characteristic of the law in this country during the last decades. Thus,. Alabama, California, Colorado, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and Virginia all have constitutional provisions which go much 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 389 farther than that found in the present Constitution of this State and are obviously in line with the purpose of the present proposal as indicated by the Debates of this Convention. The most recent constitutional pro¬ vision is that found in the Constitution of Michigan, adopted in 1908, where the provision is as follows (Article VIII, Section 28) : “No person, partnership, association or corporation operating a public utility shall have the right to the use of the highways, streets, alleys or other public places of any city, village or township for wires, poles, pipes, tracks or conduits, without the consent of the duly constituted authorities of such city, village or township; nor to transact a local business therein without first obtaining a fran¬ chise therefor from such city, village or township. The right of all cities, villages and townships to the reasonable control of their streets, alleys and public places is hereby reserved to such cities, villages and townships.” The provision found in the Constitution of Virginia, adopted in 1902, is as follows (Article VIII, Section 124) : “No street railway, gas, water, steam, or electric heating, elec¬ tric light or power, cold storage, compressed air, viaduct, conduit, telephone, or bridge company, nor any corporation, association, per¬ son, or partnership, engaged in these or like enterprises, shall be permitted to use the streets, alleys or public grounds of a city or town without the previous consent of the corporate authorities of such city or town.” The provision found in the Constitution of Alabama, adopted in 1901 (Article XII, Section 220), and that found in the Constitution of Colorado, adopted as an amendment in 1902 (Article XX, Section 4), are of like import. The provisions found in Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota are interesting but are not so recent, and therefore not so comprehensive, and need not be quoted in this memorandum. It will be noted that all of these provisions give to municipal cor¬ porations a large measure of home rule in the matters concerned. The revision of the reference draft here suggested attempts to reach the same result as that secured by the provisions above quoted, but in a more com¬ prehensive and yet simpler form. Something should perhaps be said about some of the detailed changes suggested by your committee. The words “permanent fixtures and equipment” were discussed at some length in the Debates. (June 29, 1920, page 28.) The words are new in constitutional law and in¬ troduce an uncertain element. They do not appear in the Constitution of 1870, nor can any similar language be found in the constitutional provisions of any of the fifteen other states having somewhat similar provisions to the one in question. Your committee feels that the use of these words is unfortunate, since it cannot be said what a “permanent fixture” will be held to include. Does permanent mean five years, ten years, fifty years, or perpetual? Your committee cannot answer these questions, and believes that no answer can be given — except the arbitrary answer which would of course have to be given finally bv the court. 390 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, Again, what is meant by the words “occupy * * * by * * * equipment?” Of course a street car track and the street cars resting thereon clearly come within the meaning of these words. But what about a bus line regularly running on the same street—does it occupy the street with its equipment? Here also a court some day must give an arbitrary answer to this question. In view of the uncertainty of the meaning of these words, and in view of the further fact that no similar words appear in any other Constitution, so far as your committee has been able to determine, this language has been dropped. The word “occupy” has given your committee some concern. There is no doubt it was the intention of the Convention to use a word which would be applicable to the space below as well as above the surface of the ground; that is, the limitation should apply to such a structure as telephone wires or poles above the ground, and also to gas mains or con¬ duits below the surface of the street. After full consideration of this point your committee has retained the word “occupy” on the understand¬ ing that it covers everything that was intended by the Convention. The Century Dictionary defines “occupy” as “to take possession of and retain or keep; enter upon the possession or use of; hold and use.” Under this meaning it seems reasonable to say that not only the surface of a street or other public ground, but also the area either under or over the surface is included. It is in this wide sense that your committee has used the word “occupy.” Your committee has also dropped the words “corporate authorities.” These words do not appear in Section 4 of Article XI, from which the idea of this section has (as already stated) been taken. The words there used were “local authorities.” In Section 9 of Article IX of the present Constitution the words “corporate authorities” are used in a provision permitting the General Assembly to vest municipalities with power to make local improvements by special assessments. These words as there used gave rise to a large amount of litigation. The words were taken from the Constitution of 1848, and beginning with the case Harward v. St. Clair Drainage Co., 51 Ill. 130 (1869), and down to the case of People v. Bloch, 376 Ill. 386 (1916), and People v. County of Williamson, 386 Ill. 44 (1918), these words have given rise to many questions of interpretation which eventually found their way to the Supreme Court. All of these questions are avoided if these words are not used; and yet no one can fairly say that the same guarantee of lawful action on the part of the municipality in question is not secured by the language used in the draft of your committee. Section 8. In order to understand the purpose and scope of the proposal on zoning it will be helpful to consider in outline the historical development of the subject and the experience of other jurisdictions in dealing with it. The last two decades have seen widespread interest developed in the matters of city planning and zoning. The well known Chicago Plan Commission need only be mentioned in this connection. Other large cities, including Xew York, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Cleveland, have 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 391 adopted more or less systematic schemes for city planning. (Debates, June 24, 1920, p. 56.) This interest in the subject has resulted in legislation in a number of states. The two states having the two largest cities of the country have passed rather elaborate zoning acts within the last few years; New York in 1916, and Illinois in 1919. Massachusetts was the first state (and so far is the only one) to adopt constitutional provisions on the subject, which it did by amendment in 1918. The Illi¬ nois Act is in many respects more far reaching and more advanced than any other legislation so far adopted; it probably represents the best and latest thought on the subject from the legal as well as the civic and archi¬ tectural point of view. That act authorizes cities to exercise wide powers of control over land and buildings and to regulate them in the following respects: 1. To limit the height of buildings. 2. To limit the “bulk” of buildings. 3. To limit the lot area which may be built upon. 4. To fix the area of yards and open spaces. 5. To restrict the location of trades and industries to par¬ ticular districts. 6. To exclude certain trades or industries from prescribed dis¬ tricts. There has been so far no real test of the. constitutionality of such zoning statutes as those passed in New York and Illinois. The Debates of the Convention, however, indicate that some doubt has arisen as to the power of the General Assembly in this State to pass wide and inclusive legislation on this subject; and that a constitutional provision is con¬ sidered necessary. (Debates, June 24, 1920, p. 56.) It also appears from the discussion in the Convention that four or five cities in Illinois have already proceeded under the act of 1919 and have exercised certain powers granted by it. The provision as adopted therefore is made retro¬ active for the purpose of validating whatever has already been done b} r cities operating under the present Zoning Act; but the retroactive effect • of the provision is intended to be limited to the purpose just mentioned. There is no doubt about the trend of decisions in this and other states on this general subject; it has been toward the widening of legis¬ lative powers in the matter of regulating land and buildings in cities. California has developed the matter of regulating industries and exclud¬ ing them ftom residential districts further than most other states. The case of ex parte Iladacheck , 165 California, 416, affirmed in 239 U. S. 394, establishes the advanced position of that state in this regard. Illi¬ nois has taken the lead in the matter of billboard regulations under present constitutional provisions, and the case of Cusack v. Chicago, 267 Ill. 344 (1915), is the leading case on the subject and establishes the doctrine of liberal powers of control over billboards in this State. Decent years have witnessed a fairly large amount of litigation involving tin's entire subject, and there are many important cases which might bo dis¬ cussed but can only be referred to in this memorandum. See for a general discussion of the subject, 2 Ill. Law Bulletin, 497, and cases there cited; see also cases cited in Illinois Constitutional Convention 392 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, Bulletin, pp. 485, 486; see in particular as to regulation of billboards, Massachusetts Constitutional Convention Reports, Vol. 2, p. 379, Bulle¬ tin 31. (See also the following discussions and cases there cited: 29 Harvard Law Review, 860, Aesthetics and the Fourteenth Amendment; 20 Harvard Law Review 35, Public Aesthetics; 11 Ill. Law Review 29, Present Legal Aspect of the Billboard Problem; 53 National Corpora¬ tion Reporter 473, Advertising and the Police Power; 20 Columbia Law* Review, 591, Condemnation of Property for the Public Welfare; 20 Columbia Law Review 219, Note; Dillon, Municipal Corporations, Vol. 2, Sec. 695, Aesthetic Considerations.) These cases and discussions show how far the state courts have progressed in recent years in their attitude toward this general subject. It must be borne in mind that any state constitutional provision, as well as any statute of a state, must finally run the gauntlet of the “due process” clause of the Federal Constitution. But that statement is more academic than real, because of the fact that state constitutional provisions as to “due process” have always been given a much narrower construction by state courts than the same provision in the Federal Con¬ stitution has received from the Federal Courts. The Supreme Court of the United States is far in advance of any state court in its definition of “police power” and in its interpretation of what that term includes. The oft quoted words of Justice Holmes, in the case of Nolle State Bank v. Haskell, 219 U. S. 104 (1910), may be cited as proof. He said (p. Ill) : “It may be said in a general way that the police power extends to all the great public needs. Canfield v. United States , 167 U. S. 518. It may be put forth in aid of what is sanctioned by usage, or held by the prevailing morality or strong and preponderant opinion to be greatly and immediately necessary to the public wel¬ fare.” The same court, in C. B. & Q. R. R. v. Drainage Commissioners, 200 U. S. 561 (1906), had previously said much the same thing: “We hold that the police power of a state embraces regula¬ tions designed to promote the public convenience or the general prosperity, as well as regulations designed to promote the public health, the public morals or the public safety.” No state court has gone to anything like the same length as the United States Supreme Court in advancing the powers of regulation included within the term “police power.” It follows therefore that in spite of the tendency of state courts to give a wider and wider construc¬ tion to existing constitutional limitations affecting these matters, there is a real necessity for amending present state constitutions before the legislatures—and through them the cities—will have ample power in regard to city planning and zoning. In other words, it is only by amend¬ ment that state constitutions as construed by state courts can be made as wide and comprehensive as the Federal Constitution. Such is the conclusion reached in Massachusetts, where the Constitution has already been amended; such is the conclusion reached in Pennsylvania, where a 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 393 constitutional provision is proposed; and such is the necessary conclusion to be drawn from the action of the present Convention. In order to assist in understanding the proposal adopted by this Convention, there are given below the constitutional amendments adopted in Massachusetts, and also the provision proposed by the recent com¬ mission appointed to revise the Constitution of Pennsylvania. The first amendment adopted in Massachusetts in 1918 is as follows: “Article 71. The General Court shall have power to limit buildings according to their use or construction to specified districts of cities and towns.” It should be noted that this provision is short and concise, its obvious purpose being merely to untie the hands of the General Court. In com¬ parison with this provision the proposal as adopted in the reference draft is cumbersome and unwieldy. At the same time Massachusetts adopted another amendment, which by a proper wording might have been included within Article 71. This amendment affects only billboards, etc*., and is as follows: “Article 72. Advertising on public ways, in public places and on private property within public view may be regulated and re¬ stricted by law.” Here again it will be noted that the provision is short and inclusive and merely removes existing constitutional limitations on the legislature. The provision is important because it is a definite grant of power to regulate land and buildings for purely “aesthetic” reasons. Massachusetts has adopted a further amendment in this connection, which goes definitely outside the recognized domain of “police power” as previously understood—that is, quite beyond matters concerned with public health, morals, comfort or safety. The provision concerns itself with matters of “historical or antiquarian interest” where the public is concerned. The provision is as follows: Article 73. The preservation and maintenance of ancient landmarks and other property of historical or antiquarian interest is a public use, and the commonwealth and the cities and towns therein may, upon payment of just compensation, take such property or any interest therein under such regulations as the General Court may prescribe.” It will thus be noted that Massachusetts has an amendment concern¬ ing itself with purely “aesthetic’ matters, and still another amendment concerning itself with matters even more remote from the domain of police power” as that subject has been construed in the past. It is ob\ ious therefore that Massachusetts has taken an advanced position in its Constitution in the matters here concerned. The only other state which so far has considered the matter of zon¬ ing and city planning from the point of view of its Constitution is Pennsylvania. The proposed new Constitution for that state, submitted to the General Assembly in January of this year (1921), contains a provision as follows: “Article XIII, Section 24. Zoning of Municipalities. Munici¬ palities may be authorized by law to promote the general welfare by 394 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, regulating the location, size and use of buildings. For the purpose of such regulations, a municipality may divide its territory into districts, to each of which special regulations may be applied.” Here again it will be noted that the provision is short and concise compared to the proposal of the reference draft. The Pennsylvania provision, like those adopted in Massachusetts, merely removes the limi¬ tations which now hamper the legislature; while the reference draft attempts to go into detail and specify the reasons for the provision, as well as the extent to which it may be applied. It should be noted on the other hand, that in one respect the pro¬ vision as adopted in the reference draft is in advance of the Massa¬ chusetts Constitution or the proposed provision in Pennsylvania. In the two latter states the power is delegated to the General Assembly, which in turn may grant it in either full or restricted form to cities; while in Illinois the proposal would grant full power of control direct to cities without the intermediation of the General Assembly. In conclusion it may be said that the revision of the reference draft here suggested contains all of the ideas which are necessary to be ex¬ pressed in the Constitution. As revised the provision has been much reduced in length and has been brought in line with the theory adopted in the provisions found in the Constitution of Massachusetts and recently proposed in Pennsylvania. That is, the provision merely removes exist¬ ing constitutional limitations and wipes out existing decisions of the courts. For it should be repeated that it is only because of these two restrictions that any constitutional provision is necessary. Report No. 16.

Each of said officers shall enter upon the duties of his office respectively on the first Monday of December after his election, and they shall hold their respective offices for the term of four years and until their successors are elected and have qual¬ ified, provided that no person hav¬ ing once been elected to the office of treasurer shall be eligible to re-elec¬ tion to said office for four years after the expiration of the term for which he shall have been elected. Section 3. The clerks of all courts of record, the treasurer, sheriff, coroner and recorder of deeds of Cook County shall receive as their only compensation for their services, salaries to be fixed by law which shall in no case be as much as the lawful compensation of a judge of the circuit court of said county.

IN RE PROPOSAL NO. 385. Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Repprt on Proposal No. 385, being a Proposal entitled, Chicago and Cook County. ARTICLE II. COUNTY OF COOK. Section 7. This section in the reference draft is taken without change from Section 7, Article X, of the present constitution; except that the phrase ‘in such manner as may be provided by law,” which appears at the end of the section in the present constitution, has been dropped by this Convention. In the section as revised the words "county affairs” have been changed to "county business” because the latter phrase is used in Sec¬ tion 6 of the Article on Counties of the present Constitution, and in Section 5 of the proposal on Counties adopted by this Convention. The managed”, where it appears in the reference draft, has been changed to “transacted” for the same reasons. It is obvious that con- 398 [Sept. P, JOURNAL OF THE sistent language should be» used in speaking of counties, whether the provision has to do with the County of Cook or is found in the Article on Counties. The last phrase of the section has been somewhat revised to avoid the use of the words “said city”. Xo other changes have been made in the section as it appears in the reference draft. Section 2. This section has no corresponding section in the present Constitution; it is a duplication of Section 8, Article X, but is made applicable only to the County of Cook. The section has been revised to conform to the language used in the revision of Section 6 of the proposal on Counties. The discussion there given explains in detail the reasons for the changes made in the language of the reference draft. It is probable that on the second ref¬ erence to this Committee this section will be consolidated with Section 6 of the proposal on Counties, since the two provisions overlap. Section 3. This section also is a new one, there being no similar provision in the present Constitution. If the section is analyzed it will be found to contain the following ideas: 1. The clerks of courts of record and the other county officers shall be paid salaries. 2. The salaries shall be fixed by law. 3. The salaries shall be less than the compensation of a judge of the Circuit Court of the County. 4. The Circuit Court of the County shall determine the num¬ ber of deputies and assistants of these officers. 5. The court shall enter a rule of record concerning its find¬ ing in regard to the last provision. 6. The compensation of such deputies and assistants shall be fixed by the county board. In the section as revised the sentence structure has been somewhat rearranged for purposes of clarity. But otherwise the reference draft remains unchanged. Sections U and 5. These two sections also are new, there being no corresponding sections in the present Constitution. The last sentence of Section 4 has been dropped because it is covered by a general provision applicable to all officers in this State, which is to be incorporated in some other part of the Constitution, preferably in an article on “Officers”. (See Judiciary Proposal, Section 52.) The rest of Section 4 and Section 5 is concerned with the subject oi fees collected by the county officers in Cook County. The two sections contain three ideas: 1. The fees collected by these officers shall be regulated by law. 2. Such fees shall be paid monthly into the county treasury. 3. Each officer shall make a semi-annual report under oath as to the fees received by him. The first provision has been incorporated into the first sentence of Section 4 as revised. The second and third provisions above outlined have been incorporated into the second sentence of Section 4 as revised, since these two ideas can logically be expressed in a single sentence. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 399 The section as revised will be found to contain all of the ideas expressed in the reference draft, with the exception of the provision that has been dropped, as explained above. Section 6. This section is also new, since there is no similar sec¬ tion in the present Constitution. The language of the section has been revised to correspond with the language used in Section 2 of the proposal on Counties as revised. The discussion there given will explain the detailed changes in language which are made in the section here under discussion. This section, like Section 2 above, will no doubt be consolidated with the corresponding section in the proposal on Counties upon the second reference to this Committee. Section 7. This section is also a new one, there being no similar provision in the present Constitution. The section corresponds to Section 8 of the proposal on Counties. The language of the section as revised has been made consistent with the language of the section in the Counties proposal. The discussion there given will explain in detail the reasons for the detailed changes made in the language of the section here under discussion. Section 8. This section is a new one, and it has been made neces¬ sary by the provisions incorporated in Article I of the proposal on Chi¬ cago and Cook County, having to do with the consolidation of local governments. The section has been revised in less than one-half the number of words of the reference draft, but without change in meaning. It is obvious that considerable overlapping occurs in the language of this article and the language of the proposal on Counties. Your Committee has accordingly reserved final consideration “of the language used in this report until the various articles of the Constitution are referred to this Committee on second reference.

The territory taken from a county shall be holden for and obliged to pay its proportion of the indebted¬ ness of the county from which it has been taken. Section 3. No county seat shall be removed until the point to which it is proposed to be removed shall be fixed in pursuance of law, and three-fourths of the voters of the county, voting on such question, shall have voted* in favor of its re¬ moval to such point; and no person shall vote on such question who has not resided in the county six months, and in the election precinct ninety days next preceding such election. The question of the removal of a county seat shall not be submitted oftener than once in ten years, to a vote of the people. Section 4. Any county now or hereafter organized under a Board of Commissioners may organize under township organization when¬ ever a majority of votes cast upon such question in such county shall so determine; and any county now or hereafter organized under town¬ ship organization may organize under a board of commissioners whenever a majority of all the votes cast upon such question in such counties shall so determine and the election upon such questions shall be submitted to a vote of the electors of any county at a general election in the manner provided by law; and ten miles of its seat be taken for a new county. Section 9. No county shall be changed in area unless the change is approved by a majority of those voting on the question in the county and each part affected. Any terri¬ tory taken from a county shall be liable for its proportion of the debt of such county. Section 10. No county seat shall be removed unless three-fourths of those voting on the question shall approve the removal to the place designated and no person shall vote unless he has resided in the election precinct ninety days and in the county six months next preceding the election. Such question shall not be submitted oftener than once in ten years. Section 7. No county may aban¬ don or adopt any form of organiza¬ tion unless a majority of those vot¬ ing on the question shall approve the change. 1921.] CONS TIT UTIONAL CONVEX TION. 401 the affairs of counties shall be trans¬ acted under the respective organiza- tions as the General Assembly may provide.

Torrance. George A. Barr. Edward H. Brewster. Committee on Phraseology and Style. IN RE PROPOSAL NO. 362. Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom- panying Report on Proposal No. 362, being a Proposal Relative to Counties. The Constitution of 1870 contains one of the most detailed pro¬ visions on county government to be found in any state constitution. n about one-third of the states the organization of county government is left entirely, or almost entirely, to the state legislature. In those states which have constitutional provisions on the subject the provisions are in general simple and without detail, compared to the provisions m i- nois. The present Convention has changed the Counties Article ot the present Constitution in some respects; but the theory of laying down rather detailed and minute specifications regarding Counties is retained. The order of the sections in the reference draft is illogical, it fol¬ lows the arrangement found in the present Constitution,- which-m turn followed in a large measure the arrangement of the sections in the Con¬ stitution of 1848. In the article as revised the order ot the section* has been rearranged in more logical form. Section 1. This section contains two main provisions: 404 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, 1. It establishes a minimum area of four hundred square miles for any new county or for any old county which may be re¬ duced in area. « 2. It provides that no part of a county within ten miles ot its seat shall be taken in creating a new county. The section has been shortened and condensed in such a way as to express these two provisions in a simple and concise foim. . The word “created” had been substituted as the equivalent or “formed or established”. . . ,, The phrase “by the General Assembly” has been omitted, since tiie General Assembly has authority to establish counties and regulate their affairs, except in so far as the Constitution contains limitations upon that power. . . Section 2. This section contains three mam ideas: ... 1. No county shall be changed in area unless the provision is approved at a referendum. 2. The proposition must be approved by a majority ot those voting on the question in the county and in each part of the county affected. 3. * Any territory taken from a county shall bear its portion of the county debt. . . . , The .first two of these provisions have been revised m a single sen¬ tence in a form which incorporates all the ideas of the reference draft The last paragraph of the section m the reference draft has bee revised and condensed but without change m meaning. The wore s “shall be holden for and obliged to pay” have been expressed by shall be liable”. The word “holden” is archaic and is no longer in good use. (See Century Dictionary; also Webster’s International Dictionary.) Section 3. This section lays down certain limitations for changing 1. There must be a referendum on the question in the county. 2. Three-fourths of all those voting on the question must 3. The place of removal must be designated in advance of the lection 4 Every person voting must have resided in the election pi e- cinct ninety days and in the county six months before the election. 5. The question of removal shall not be submitted oftene than once in ten years. . . , i In the section as revised each of these provisions has been expressed in a simpler and shorter form than that of the reference dra . It is to be observed that the section contains qualifications for votin„ different from those fixed by the Suffrage Article, The a ditiona quali¬ fications for voting were provided because of the importance of the ele tion to the county and to put an end to the practice which had grown rm 0 f “colonizing” voters to control such elections. -> P The clause “until the point to which it is propped ^Sn as shall be fixed in pursuance of law has been omitted. The . revised provides that the removal shall be “to the place designated . 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 405 The word “designated” implies a previous determination of the place, .and this determination must be made by the General Assembly, since that body has full power to pass any enabling legislation which may be necessary. Under the section as revised, therefore, the place of removal must be designated by law previous to the election. The phrase “of the voters of the county” has been dropped, since the election is exclusively a county matter and it is obvious that only voters of the county could vote upon the question. In the last sentence the phrase “of the removal of the county seat” has been omitted; the words “such question” make the meaning entirely clear without the phrase quoted. The phrase “to a vote of the people” has been dropped because the verb “submitted”, taken in its context, necessarily implies a vote of the people. Section J>. This section provides a scheme whereby counties may change from one to another of the two forms of county government authorized by the Constitution. The section contains the following provisions: 1. Counties organized under the “Board of Commissioners” form may change to the township form of county organization. 2. Counties organized under the township form may change to the “Board of Commissioners” form of county organization. 3. Either change must be approved upon referendum by a majority of those voting on the question. 4. The election upon the question shall be conducted in the manner provided by law. 5. The General Assembly may regulate the manner in which either form of county government shall function. An examination of these five provisions shows that the sec¬ tion really contains but one limitation on the General Assembly, namely, that if the form of the organization of county government is changed, the change must be approved by a majority of the voters of the county voting on the question. In other words, it is obvious that the first and second provisions as above outlined, and the fourth and fifth provisions, really contain no limitations on the General Assembly and may be dropped; the General Assembly may regulate these matters if the Constitution is silent in regard to them. The section has been revised upon the theory, which is applicable throughout the Constitution, that the General As¬ sembly is omnipotent except in so far as the Constitution limits its power. In the shorter form of the section as revised there will be found the full sense of the reference draft without change. Section 5. This section provides a precise form of organization for counties “not under township organization”. At the present time, of the 102 counties in Illinois, 85 are organized under the township system and 17 under the “Board of Commissioners” system. The coun¬ ties not under township organization are located in the central and southern part of the State, and most of them are small in area and popu¬ lation. Morgan County, which had 34,000 population in 1910, is the largest of these counties. 406 JOUEXAL OF THE [Sept. 6 r It will be noted that there is no corresponding section in the Con¬ stitution providing for the organization of counties under township or¬ ganization. In other words, the General Assembly may organize the government of 85 counties of the State as it sees fit; but the Constitu¬ tion has prescribed a specific form of organization for the 1, counties “not under township organization”. The question naturally arises a* to why this distinction should be made. The only answer that can be criven is that the distinction is a purely arbitrary one; the Convention of 1870 so decided the matter and there it rests. . The obvious comment to be made is that the Constitution, m outer to be logical, should either contain a provision regulating the organiza¬ tion of both classes of counties, or should leave the organization of both classes of counties to the General Assembly. T our Committee believes that the latter plan is preferable and that this section could be ^eiy properly omitted from the Constitution. . . , The section provides for the election of three commissioners at tjie general election in 1922. The present Constitution provides for the election of one commissioner every year. The latter provision, however, sometimes requires an election in a county for the sole purpose of elect- in a county commissioner. Accordingly it was provided that all three commissioners should be elected at the same time. This provision necessitated the last sentence of the section providing foi the expirati of the terms of the existing commissioners. The provision being a tem¬ porary one, should be placed in the Schedule, and has been omitted from the section as revised. , ,. •, m It is unnecessary to state the month in which the election should oe held, since that matter is taken care of by the Suffrage Article. The term of office of commissioners has been omitted because that provision is covered in Section 10 as revised, where a uniform term tor all elective county officers is provided. . , . Section 6. This section enumerates the various elective count} rr - cers and fixes the time for their election. The section is substantia the same as in the present Constitution except that it creates a new con¬ stitutional county officer, namely, the County Assessor. At thei p e- time the County Treasurer acts as County Assessor m count.es - the “Board of Commissioners” form of government; while m counties under the township form of government each township has an elective assessor. The assessor has been made a county officer by this section, and accordingly hereafter the township unit of assessment wnl be abol¬ ished. The provision leaves the manner of selecting the Count} As sessor to the General Assembly. * It should also be noted that under this section the re-election of sheriffs is not prohibited. In the IT counties under Board of Com¬ missioners” form of government the sheriff is ex-officio treasurer. I ndei the proposed section there will be an elective treasurer m each county and the provision with reference to re-election of the sheriff, which is found in P the present Constitution, has therefore been dropped by the Teference draft. i, Q£ , The term of office of county officers as provided m this section In & been omitted, since that matter is covered by Section 10 as revised, lne CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 407. 1921 .J WJNOXJ.lUlJ.vmu.^ i • word “inhabitants” has been changed to “population”, since the latter word is the uniform term applied throughout the Constitution. Section 7. This section has been revised without changing ma¬ terially the form of the reference draft. The section contains two mam provisions ; the first having to do with the fixing of the compensation of county officers and their employes, and the second having to go with the pavment of such compensation. These two provisions have been put into separate sentences in the section as ie\ised, oi pm poses o Clant The word “employe” has been substituted for “deputies and assist¬ ants”, since it is more' inclusive than both of these words. All persons working for the County on a salary or for wages, excepting officers , are included in the term “employes”. (See Century D'ictionai) , also Webster’s International Dictionary). Moreover, underaction I ol Article V of the present Constitution, the words 'office and employ¬ ment” are defined, and by implication the two words are made all-in- elusive The word "order” has been substituted for the words ‘warrant or order”, because it is the wider term. (See Century Dictionary.) Section 8 . This section is new and has no counterpart m the pres¬ ent Constitution. The purpose of the section is to permit the Gcneia Assembly to provide other forms of county government than the two provided by this Article, if that becomes advisable m the future. section contains three main ideas: 1. It contains a grant of power to the General Assembh to authorize other forms of government for counties besides the toil n- ship form and the "Board of Commissioners” form. 2. The legislation providing for the new form of government for counties must be uniform as to classes of counties. 3. The law shall not become effective m any county unless approved at a referendum by a majority of those voting on the These three provisions as thus outlined have been expressed in the section as revised in a shorter and simpler form than that of the reference draft, but without change in meaning. The last part of the reference draft, providing that after the a|- proval by the voters the business of the county shad be. transacted m such manner as the General Assembly may provide , is unneces.ap . After the law is approved in any county, the law will go into effect auto- mahcally.^ ^ ^ ^ These two sections have been combined since they are concerned with the matter of fees collected by county and township officers. The two sections contain the following provisions. 1 1. The fees of township and county officers shall be regulated ^ ^ All public moneys received by such officers shall be paid into the county treasury. . j 3. All public moneys received by such officers shall be repoited under oath. 403 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6. The words “general and uniform” have been omitted from the sec¬ tion as revised, since under Section 22 of the Legislative Article no local or special law can be passed affecting township or county govern¬ ment- or affecting the fees or allowances of public officers. It is there¬ fore unnecessary to duplicate that provision in this section. The words"“fees, allowances and emoluments” used in both Sections 9 and 11 may be expressed by the words “public moneys”. That term is a general and inclusive one, and is to be preferred to particular terms like those used in the reference draft. The reasons for consolidating these two sections are obvious. Section 10. This section contains three main provisions: .1. It determines when elective county officers shall go into office. 2. It provides a uniform term of four years for all such officers. 3. It provides that the compensation of such officers shall not be increased or diminished during their terms. The last sentence of the reference draft, which expresses the third provision as above outlined, has been dropped because it is coveted by a section applicable to all officers in the State, which has been suggested by this Committee as a section in a new article on “Officers”. The first and second provisions as above outlined have been expressed in the section as revised in a shorter and simpler form than that found in the reference draft, but without any change in meaning. The words “and until their successors are elected and have qualified have been dropped. A new section has been suggested, covering all the offices in the State, in regard to the matter covered by the above quota¬ tion. (See Section 52 of the Judiciary Proposal as revised.) Section 12. The first part of this section is taken practically with¬ out change from Section 8 of the Revenue Article of the present Con¬ stitution : the rest of the section is new. If the section is analyzed it will be found to contain the following ideas: 1. County authorities shall not impose taxes for general pur¬ poses in excess of seventy-five cents per one hundred dollars valu¬ ation. . 2. This limit, however, may be exceeded if the excess is author¬ ized by a vote of the people of the county. 3! If the General Assembly makes the county the unit for imposing road and bridge taxes, then a tax for that purpose up to seventy-five cents per one hundred dollars valuation may be imposed by the county authorities. 4. This limit, however, may also be exceeded if the excess is authorized by a vote of the people of the county. The words “seventy-five cents per one hundred dollars valuation have been changed to “three fourths of one per cent of valuation” in order to conform to the language used in the revision of Section 8 and 9 of the Revenue Proposal, and in the revision of Section 15, Article L, of the proposal on Chicago and Cook County. The term per cen is preferable to “per centum”. (See Webster’s International Dictionary.) The words “county authorities” have been dropped where they ap¬ pear in the section, and the word “county” substituted instead. It is 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 409 obvious that any action by the county must be taken by the proper county authorities. As revised the Section expresses all of the ideas of the reference draft in a clearer and simpler form. Section 13. This is a new section, its purpose being to permit the General Assembly to provide for the construction and improvement of highways by special assessment, and for making the county the unit for that purpose. At the present time special assessments may be levied only by “cities”, “towns”, “villages” and “drainage districts”. The Constitution forbids the granting of the power of special assessment for local improvements to any other local government. (Section 9, Article IX. See People v. Board of Commissioners, 221 Ill. 493, 1906; also Beport of Attorney General 1917-18, p. 1034.) The reference draft has been shortened and simplified in the sec¬ tion as revised, but without change in meaning. Section 11/.. No change is suggested in this section. Report No. 18.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 383, being a Proposal Entitled JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT. The various sections of this proposal have been rearranged in a more logical form than that found in the reference draft. This result has been secured by grouping all the provisions affecting the Supreme Court in the first part of the article. Then follow successively the pro¬ visions affecting the Appellate Courts, the Circuit Courts outside Cook County, the County Courts outside Cook County, the Circuit Court in Cook County, the District Court of Cook County, and justices of the peace. The last part of the article as rearranged contains the general provisions affecting the Judicial Department as a whole. This re¬ arrangement of the proposal, under -which the various courts appeal- roughly in the order of their importance, constitutes the principal change made in the reference draft. The detailed changes made in phraseology and arrangement of subject matter need not be discussed. The draft of the article as here presented has been submitted to the chairman of the Committee on the Judicial Department and has been approved by him. There are, however, two matters which should be called to the at¬ tention of the Convention in order that they may not be overlooked. In Reference Section 3 there appears a provision under which the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is made to include the review of cases “differently determined” by Appellate Courts. This language has been somewhat revised in the report here presented, but its meaning has not been changed. Certain questions arise as to how this provision will work in actual practice. Suppose a case is decided in one Appellate Court and ten years later a decision is handed down in another Appellate Court, and the same question of law is “differently 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 429 determined” by the two Appellate Courts. Does the language of this provision give a right of review not only in the case last decided, but also in the case first decided? Again, it will be noted that the provision is a rigid one requiring that all cases “differently determined” as to the law by Appellate Courts shall be open to review in the Supreme Court. Such a provision opens a door so wide that no one can tell just what the result will be. For example, does this provision guarantee the right of what might be called “academic review”—that is, a review where no actual property rights are involved? The theory of the provision here in question is no doubt a wise one and no criticism of the theory is made; but after considering the provision this committee suggests that it be omitted, for the reason that under its rule making powers as granted in Keference Section 2 the Supreme Court would have authority to per¬ mit such review. As the provision now stands, the Supreme Court has no control over such cases except to regulate the manner in which they shall be reviewed. Amur Committee suggests that the provision either be omitted from the Constitution; or that it be put in a permissive form, allowing the Supreme Court to have control over the extent to which such review shall be allowed as well as control over the manner in w T hich the review shall be conducted. The second point which should be called to the attention of the Con¬ vention is found in Section 11 of the reference draft. As that section is drafted, writs of error from, and appeals to, the Supreme Court are guaranteed in all criminal cases “where the sentence is death or im¬ prisonment in the penitentiary.” The question arises as to how this language would affect the rights of a minor who had been convicted of a crime and who under the statute would be sentenced to the reform school instead of to the penitentiary. In other words, does not the language here used give to an adult who may be convicted of a crime a right of review by the Supreme Court in the first instance, while a minor who is convicted of a similar crime would be denied that right ? The number of sections in this proposal has been very substantially reduced in the draft here presented. This change has been made for two reasons: First, because the number of sections in the reference draft is large compared to any other article in the Constitution; and second (and chiefly), because the various provisions which concern the courts (other than the Supreme Court) can best be expressed by consolidating the provisions affecting each court or class of courts into a single section. 430 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6 , Report No. 19.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom- panying Report on Proposal No. 369, being a Proposal Entitled Executive Department. Section 1. This section of the reference draft is taken without change from the present Constitution, except that the term o t e reas urer has been changed from two years to four years In 1870 the section was entirely rewritten and changed substantially from the form pren- ously found in the Constitution. . ,, n ii • r . cr If the section is analyzed it will be found to contain the following 1 e8= ’ It names the officers constituting the Executive Depart- 1 . ment. 2 . 3. 4. 5. It provides indirectly for their election. It fixes their terms at four years. It fixes the date on which they take office. It requires them (except the Lieutenant Governor) to re¬ side at the seat of government. , , , 6. It requires the public records, books and papers to be kept at the seat of government. , 7. It requires the officers named to perform such duties as are prescribed by law. . . . ,, * „ All of these ideas are grouped into a single paragraph in the refer¬ ence draft. From the point of view of unity the section should logically consist of three paragraphs. The first paragraph should organize the Executive Department by naming the officers of which it consists the second paragraph should give the various limitations affecting these officers: the third paragraph should contain the provision as to the pu lie records, books and papers. The section has accordingly been revised It will be noted that the reference draft provides that the Executive Department shall “consist” of the seven officers named in the section. Under proper rules of constitutional construction this provision is in¬ clusive. since the maxim expressio unius est exclusio alt enus is appli- cable. The section specifies the seven officers who are to constitute the department, and by implication no other officers may be added. In lb, the section correctly expressed the facts as to the Executive Department, since there were no other executive officers than those named m the section However, the business of the State has been broadened and increased during the fifty years that have elapsed ™ce that time and new offices have been created which are executive m character but cannot be properly brought within the narrow limits of this section. Thus there may be' mentioned the Public Utilities Commission, the State Tax Commission and the various departments organized under the Civil and Administrative Code. Accordingly it seems necessapr to revise this section so that it will include such other executive offices as the Genera Assembly sees fit to create from time to time. It is interesting to note 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 439 that the proposed new Constitution for Pennsylvania recognizes this development in State government. The present Constitution in that State, which was adopted in 1873, copied almost verbatim the wording of this section of the Constitution of Illinois. In the proposed new Con¬ stitution for Pennsylvania, however, the words “and in other executive officers as prescribed by law” have been added. (Section 1, Article IV.) This provision has accordingly been revised along the lines here sug¬ gested. The provisions contained in numbers 2, 3 and 4 as above outlined have been incorporated in the second paragraph of the section as revised. The provision as to election of the officers named and the provision as to their terms of office have been made more direct and specific. The pro¬ vision of the reference draft that each of these officers shall hold office “until his successor is elected and qualified” has been dropped, because it is covered by the uniform provision affecting all State officers to be inserted elsewhere in the Constitution. (See Judiciary Proposal, Sec¬ tion 52, as revised.) It should be noted that the limitations of this paragraph of the section as revised affect only the officers named in the section, and are not applicable to the offices which may be created by statute. The various limitations affecting the latter offices should prop¬ erly appear in the particular statute creating them and not in the Con¬ stitution. The provision as to residence of these officers has been retained in a shorter form, but without change in meaning. The provision as to public records, books and papers has been put in a separate paragraph, since it involves a distinct subject-matter of its own. The words “public records and papers” have been used as the equivalent of “public records, books and papers.” The wisdom of retaining this provision in the Constitution is ques¬ tionable. The provision first appeared in the Constitution of 1870 and was there adopted without discussion. (See Debates 1870, p. 760.) It was copied from the Constitution of Indiana (Article VI, Section 5), adopted in 1851, where it appeared for the first time in any state Constitution. Similar provisions have since been copied into the Consti¬ tutions of a number of western states (see list of states in Index Digest, New York Constitutional Convention 1915, p. 1202) ; but more than two-thirds of the states of the Union have no such provisions in their Constitutions. In the fifty years since its adoption in this State it has not been construed by the courts and its meaning is obscure. What are included in the “public records, books and papers”? Does it require all the records, books and papers of these offices to be kept at Springfield ? A number of the officers mentioned in this section maintain branch offices in the city of Chicago, where it is found convenient and probably necessary to keep a large portion of the records and documents of the particular office. Thus the Attorney General's office maintains a branch office in Chicago, having to do with inheritance taxes. The Auditor's office, and a number of the departments organized under the Civil and Administrative Code, keep branches in that city and have certain records there. The provision has never been observed in actual practice and 440 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, probably cannot be observed without seriously hampering the woik of the State government. The provision seems unnecessary, and even dangerous, and accordingly its omission from the Constitution is sug¬ gested. If the provision is to be retained it should be limited to the “books and records” of the Executive Department. This point, which is not clear in the reference draft, has been made clear m the provision The last clause of the reference draft, being provision number 7 a 5 above outlined, has been transferred to Section 5 of this article, where it is discussed. . . , , -,i Section 2. This section of the reference draft has been taken with¬ out change from the present Constitution, except that the clause as to the two year term of the Treasurer has been dropped. The section con- tains two ideas: , ,, , , , • li 1. It provides that the Treasurer shall not succeed himself foi four years after his term expires. 2. It provides that the Governor may remove the Treasurei it that officer does not furnish "reasonable additional security. The first provision as revised has been shortened and condensed, but its meaning remains the same. The word “term” includes either an appointive or elective term if nothing is said on the point and accord¬ ingly the words “for which he was elected and appointed have been 'The second provision as above outlined appeared m the Constitution for the first time in 1870. The provision was inserted at that time because the Convention was in doubt as to the ™ ' 1 y „? ^ ? the passed in 1845 (Ilurd’s Revised Statutes, Chap. 13°, Sec. 3) g g Governor the power here in question. (See Debates 1870, pp. 809, 8.4.) That Convention, however, was ill advised, since the General ^mUy had full power to pass such a statute. A similar statute (Hu vised Statutes, Chap. 15, Sec. 3), gives the Governor the same power to remove the Auditor, although the Constitution is silent on the point, and no question as to the validity of that statute has ever been raised. ‘ The wisdom of including such a provision m the Constitution may be Questioned on several grounds. . , ^ 1 In the half century since the provision was placed in the Con¬ stitution it has never been' acted upon by the Governor and has never been construed by the courts. . ,,, 2 The provision is silent as to who determines whether additional security” is necessary, and also as to when the Treasurer is m default m regard to the demand of the Governor. If these questions aie to oe determined by the Governor, liis discretion in the matter « not subject to review. Such a provision therefore practically makes the treasurer removable at the arbitrary decision of the Governor. 3 The Constitution does not regulate the amount of the liea urer’s original bond; that is left to the General Assembly and that bod) has acted 8 on the point. (Hurd’s Revised Statutes, Chap. 130, Section 1 1 It is obviously incongruous for the Constitution to give the Gov ei- nor control ove^the “additional security” required of the Treasurer and 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 441 to leave to the General Assembly the question of what the security is to be in the first instance. 4. As alieady indicated, there is no such constitutional provision affecting the bond of the Auditor, and yet the General Assembly has passed a statute giving the same power to the Governor over the Audi¬ tor s bond. Here again it is illogical for the Constitution to contain such a provision affecting the Treasurer and leave to the General As¬ sembly the power to _ control the Auditor’s bond. The Constitution should either contain both provisions or omit both provisions. Accordingly it is suggested that the provision in question be dropped from the section. However, if the Convention decides to retain the provision, it can be retained in the same form as the reference draft. The number of this section has been changed in the article as re¬ vised for reasons which are apparent. Section 3. This section is the same as the provision in the present Constitution, except that the years mentioned have been changed to bring the section down to date. The section contains the following ideas: c 1. It requires an election for the officers named, who are the same officers as those named in the first section. 2. It fixes November as the month in which the election shall occur. 3. It requires six of these officers to be elected in 1924 and one in 1922. 4. It contains an indirect provision for a four year term for all officers by requiring an election “every four years. 7 ’ ^ .The first provision as thus outlined is clearly covered by Section 1. ffhe second pio\ision has been covered by the proposed new article on Suffrage and Election, which fixes a single election in November each year.. The third provision is probably unnecessary, because the officers now m office will automatically go out of office on those dates and suc¬ cessors v ill automatically be elected to succeed them on those dates. However, a provision has been suggested which may be put in the sched¬ ule, if that is felt necessary. The last provision as above outlined is merely a repetition of the provision in Section 1 as to a four year term foi all these officeis. In view of the explanations made this section may be omitted. Section If-. This section also is taken without change from the present Constitution. In 1870 the Convention revised and modified in a substantial way the form of the section as it had appeared since 1848. If the section is analyzed it will be found to contain the following ideas: 1. Election returns for officers of the Executive Department must be forwarded to the Secretary of State, addressed to the Speaker of the House. 2. That officer must open and publish the returns. 3. This must be done immediately after the organization of the Houses. 442 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6 r 4. It must be done in the hall of the House of Eepresentatives in the presence of a majority of each House. 5. The person shown to have been elected.for each office by the returns shall then be declared elected. 6. In case of tie. the General Assembly, by joint ballot, shall choose for the office one of the persons tied. 7 . The General Assembly shall also determine in the same way contested elections. In the reference draft the section is expressed in long and unwieldy sentences which are not logically constructed as to subject-matter. From the point of view of unity it would seem that the section should be ex¬ pressed in three sentences; first, a sentence containing the provision as to election returns; second, a sentence containing the provision as to opening and publishing the returns and declaring the persons elected who are shown to have been elected ; third, a sentence containing the provisions as to tie votes and contested elections. The section as levised accordingly follows this scheme. It is apparent from the context of the section that the Speaker is merely the as;ent and voice of the two Houses in carrying out the pro¬ visions of the section. There are two duties to be performed by him: First, the election returns are to be opened and published; and second, the persons, showns to be elected by the returns are to be declared elected. The latter provision is vague in the reference draft because it is ex¬ pressed in the passive voice, and because it is not made the specific dut) of a particular person to make the declaration in question. The declar¬ ation must of course be based on the returns and cannot be an arbitrary one. Accordingly the words “so shown” have been added in the section as revised, and it has been made the duty of the Speaker, first, to open and publish the returns, and then to declare the persons elected. In the last sentence the words “if two or more have an equal and the highest number of votes” have been revised to read “in case of tie.” The phrase “tie vote” is now often found in the law (see for example, 20 C. J. 208), although these words do not seem to have been in common use a century ago when the idea of this provision first appeared. The word “tie” used as a verb is defined as, “to make or have an equal score with in a contest.” (See Webster’s International Dictionary.) Used as a noun, the word is defined as “a state of equality among competing or opposed parties, as when two candidates receive an equal number of votes.” (See Century Dictionary.) In Bouvier’s Law Dictionary (Eawles Eevision, Yol. 3, p. 3277) the definition given is as follows: “When two persons receive an equal number of votes at an election there is said to be a tie.” Accordingly the shorter phrase is in all respects the equivalent o± the longer one and may be substituted for it. As revised, the section is shorter and more definite than the refer¬ ence draft and each of the provisions as above outlined has been expressed without change in meaning. This section has been made Section 2 of the article, because it affects all officers of the department and logically belongs after the provisions found in the first section. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 443 Section 5. Here again the section in the reference draft is taken without change from the present Constitution. In 1870, however, the Convention changed the section in substantial respects from the form in which it had previously existed. The first sentence of the section contains two limitations affecting the Governor and Lieutenant Governor: 1. They shall each be over 35 years of age. 2. They shall each be a citizen of the State and of the United States for ten years next before their election. The phrase a citizen of the United States” has been dropped since a person who is a citizen of the State is of necessity a citizen of the United States. (See Federal Constitution, Article XIV, Section 1; see also Slaughter House cases, 83 U. S. 36, p. 126.) As thus revised, the sentence contains all of the ideas of the refer¬ ence draft stated in a shorter and simpler form. The second sentence of the section makes the officers mentioned (except the Treasurer) ‘‘ineligible” for any other office during the period for which they are elected. It is difficult to find any basis for exceptin 0, the Treasurer from this limitation. The provision first appeared in the Constitution of this State in 1870. (Debates 1870, pp. 760-774.) There was no discussion at that time as to why the Treasurer was left out of the provision, and indeed the implication from Section 2 of the reference draft would seem to argue against leaving him out. Accordingly the sentence has been revised so that it affects all the officers mentioned, including the Treasurer. If this change is not in accordance with the wishes of the Convention the provision can be restored to its original form by simply adding the words “except the Treasurer” after the word department.” The words “eligible to any other office” are unfortunate, since it does not appear whether the language used means eligible at the time of the election or eligible at the time of taking office. " The provision has been revised so that the test of eligibility is to be applied at the time of taking office and not at the time of election. Section 6. This section of the reference draft contains two ideas: 1. The supreme executive power is vested in the Governor. 2. The Governor shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Both of these provisions have appeared in the Constitution since 1818. The only change made by the Convention of 1870 was to add the word “supreme” where it appears in the first provision. In the second provision the verb “be * * * executed” is used in the subjunctive mood. In accordance with the uniform policy adopted by this committee this verb has been expressed in the indicative mood. The second sentence of the section as revised is taken from the last clause of the first section of the reference draft. The section here in¬ volved deals with the exercise of the executive power and the provision logically belongs in this section rather than in Section 1. Section 7. Here again the section in the reference draft is in the same form as in the present Constitution. The Convention of 1870 sub- 444 JOURNAL OF the [Sept. 6, 6tantially modified and amplified the duties of the Governor compared to what they had been before that time. The section contains fonr mandates on the Governor: 1. He is required to give the General Assembly information as to the condition of the State. 2. He is required to recommend measures which he deems expedient. 3. He is required to account to the General Assembly for moneys subject to his order. 4. He is required to present estimates of the amount of money required to be raised by taxation. The first two provisions are in the classical form found in most State Constitutions and have appeared in the Constitution of this State without change since 1818. These provisions are copied from a similar provision in the Federal Constitution (Section 3, Article II), affecting the duties of the President. Xo material change has been made in these provisions as revised. The third provision was added to the Constitution in 1810. It will be noted that the provision does not specify the times when the Governor shall account, but in other respects it gives no difficulty. It seems to be implied from the section that the Governor shall account at the same times mentioned in the first sentence; that is, at the beginning of each regular session and at the close of his term. At any rate, that construc¬ tion has been put upon the provision by the Governors of the State in the past. (See for example, Message of Governor Deneen, Senate Journal 1913, p. 136, also Message of Governor Dunne, Senate Journal 1915, p. 69.) Accordingly this point has been made specific in the section as revised. The first three provisions as above outlined have been put in a single sentence, since they may be logically so expressed, in a form that is short and clear. The provision as to accounting has been put first because the words “General Assembly” must otherwise be repeated in the sentence. The fourth provision as above outlined was also new in the Consti¬ tution of 1870. At that time the theory-of governmental budgets, which has been developed in recent years, had not yet been devised. During the last two decades a number of states have adopted a systematic scheme for the preparation of a governmental budget. Some of the states have provided for a budget system by statute, while other states have incor¬ porated budget provisions in their Constitutions. Thus Alabama in 1901 adopted a provision in its Constitution (Article IV, Section 70) making it the duty of the Governor, the Auditor and the Attorney General to “prepare a general revenue bill” for each regular session. Other states have constitutional provisions of a less specific character, somewhat along the line of the provision in the present Constitution of Illinois. There is still another group of states—and these are the states where the most recent consideration has been given to the subject—in which constitu¬ tional provisions as to a budget have either been adopted or have been suggested. The latest provision in any state Constitution is found in Massachusetts, where the following amendment was adopted in 1918: 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 445 “Article 63. The Budget. Within three weeks after the con¬ vening of the General Court the Governor shall recommend to the General Court a budget which shall contain a statement of all pro¬ posed expenditures of the Commonwealth for the fiscal year, includ¬ ing those already authorized by law, and of all taxes, revenues, loans and other means by which such expenditures shall be defrayed. This shall be arranged in such form as the general court may by law prescribe, or, in default thereof, as the Governor shall determine. For the purpose of preparing his budget, the Governor shall have power to require any board, commission, officer or department to furnish him with any information which he may deem necessary.” It will be noted that this provision, although not long, is compre¬ hensive and specific. The duties of the Governor, and his control over the various State officers and departments are fully expressed; and the provision is made self executing—no legislation being required. The proposed Constitution of New York, which was defeated for ratification in 1915, contained a long and elaborate provision for a budget. The matter w~as considered of such importance by the Conven¬ tion in that state that a separate article was given to it. (Article Y.) The provision is too long to quote in this memorandum, but an abstract of the article which was submitted to the people at the same time, may properly be given here, since it discusses the theory of constitutional budgets in a clear and intelligent fashion. “Abstract. This new article makes the following changes: At present no official budget or comprehensive financial program exists in this state, corresponding to everyday business practice. The financial needs of government are met by appropriations passed by the legislature from time to time in different bills, which are separately submitted to the Governor for his approval or veto. The new article is intended to introduce business-like methods into the state’s affairs through an annual budget or comprehensive fiscal plan. The Governor is to receive in November of each year from each department except the legislature and the judiciary item¬ ized estimates showing the financial needs of such department for the ensuing year. After public hearings on such estimates, and after revising them, and after receiving but not revising similar estimates of the legislature and judiciary, the Governor on or before the first of each February, shall submit to the legislature all of such estimates, together with proposed appropriation bills and any pro¬ posed new measures of taxation, as part of a comprehensive financial plan for the state’s business during the ensuing year. Such plan will show the estimated revenues for such } T ear, and will give par¬ ticulars, as to the state’s financial condition for the preceding two years, for purposes of comparison in examining the budget. Pro¬ vision is made for the Governor and heads of departments meeting with the legislature in discussion of the budget and answering in¬ quiries. The legislature may reduce or strike out but not increase budget items; and shall not consider special appropriation bills of its own until after the budget has been disposed of. The Governor 446 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, retains his veto power as heretofore as to all appropriation items except as to those revised and approved by him beforehand as above specified/-’ This abstract shows the full manner in which the New York Con¬ vention decided to treat the matter of a budget in the Constitution of that state. Another state which has followed the example of Massachusetts and New York, is Pennsylvania. The present Constitution of that state was adopted in 1873; it has no provision for a budget, or even for the sub¬ mitting of “estimates” by the Governor. The proposed new Constitution submitted to the General Assembly of that state in January, 1921, con¬ tains a detailed provision for a budget system, as follows: “Budget and Appropriation Bills.” “Article III, Section 12. The Governor shall submit to the General Assembly a budget on or before March 1 of each year in which it shall be in regular session. The budget shall contain a complete plan of proposed appropriations and complete estimates of the revenues and funds available for appropriation for the two ensuing fiscal years, including appropriations for charitable, edu¬ cational and benevolent purposes. In submitting proposals for ap¬ propriations to charitable, educational or benevolent institutions not under the absolute control of the state government, the Gov¬ ernor shall at the same time submit a plan of distribution among the classes of institutions to be benefited. When the Governor presents the budget to the House of Repre- sentatives, he shall submit a general appropriation bill containing the proposed appropriations for the fiscal years covered by the budget and may also submit any bill embodying recommendations as to sources of revenue. The presiding officer of the House of Representatives shall im¬ mediately cause such bills to be introduced. The General Assembly may increase, decrease, strike out or otherwise alter any item in the general appropriation bill, or may add new items thereto. Until the general appropriation law has been enacted neither house shall consider an appropriation bill other than the general appropriation bill unless the appropriation bill be solely for the immediate needs of the General Assembly or unless the Governor shall request the General Assembly to act upon the bill in advance of the general appropriation bill. After the general appropriation law has been enacted, no appro¬ priation shall be made for any purpose, object or item included therein or in the general appropriation bill as submitted by the . Governor, unless the Governor shall request the General Assembly to pass a bill making such appropriation. The General Assembly shall not finally adjourn for ten days after the general appropriation bill has been presented to the Gov¬ ernor.” 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 44? It will thus be seen that in three of the leading states of the Union the opinion prevails that a detailed constitutional provision as to a “budget” is desirable. In Illinois an effort has been made to secure a governmental budget by statute. (See act of March 7, 1919, Hurd’s Revised Statutes, 1919, Chap. 24%.) This act, however, seems to be in conflict, at least super¬ ficially, with the constitutional provision here under discussion, in several respects. In the first place, the act is much wider in its scope than the constitutional provision, and the question arises whether the provision in the Constitution is not by implication a limitation on the Governor and the General Assembly. In other words, it may be argued that the constitutional duties imposed on the Governor cannot be en¬ larged by statute, nor can those duties or similar duties be imposed on any other State officer. In the second place, the act requires the Gov¬ ernor to submit the “budget” two weeks after the General Assembly convenes, while the Constitution requires him to submit his “estimates” at the beginning of the session. In the third place, under the Constitu¬ tion the Governor is given no authority to call upon the other officers of the Executive Department to assist him in preparing his “estimates”: while the statute attempts to make it the duty of these officers to assist the Governor in the preparation of the “budget.” No question has been raised in the courts as to the constitutionality of the present Budget Act, but it is obvious from what has been said that there are certain dis¬ crepancies between the act and this constitutional provision which may some day give trouble. The point to be remembered is that the General Assembly would seem to have ample power to pass an adequate Budget Act if the pro¬ vision of the Constitution here in question were omitted. Under Section 1 of this article (Section 5 as revised) the Governor and all other officers of the Executive Department are required to “perform such duties as are prescribed by law.” Under this provision the officers of the Executive Department would no doubt be required to assist the Governor in pre¬ paring a budget, as the present statute provides. On the other hand, the specific provision of the Constitution as to “estimates” concerns only the Governor. The Convention of 1870 no doubt adopted this provision as to “estimates” for the purpose of assisting the General Assembly in its work, and for the purpose of securing better methods of State finance. It will be apparent from what has been said that the opposite result is likely to follow if the provision here under discussion is retained in the Constitution in its present form. As revised, the provision expresses the full intention of the reference draft. But the conclusion to be drawn is that, if the Constitution is to contain a provision as to a budget, the provision should be wide and liberal. The only other safe course is to remove the provision entirely from the Constitution and thereby permit the General Assembly to establish an adequate budget system by statute. Section 8. This section in the present Constitution is in the same form as it appeared in the Constitution of 1848. In the reference draft an amendment has been made permitting the Governor to submit “one 448 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, subsequent proclamation or message” to the General Assembly at a special session. If the section is analyzed the power of the Governor to call special sessions will be found to be subject to the following limi¬ tations : 1. An “extraordinary occasion” must exist. 2. The Governor must issue a “proclamation” calling the special session. 3. The Governor must state in the proclamation the purposes for which the session is called. 4. The General Assembly must limit its business to the pur¬ poses stated in the proclamation. 5. The Governor, however, may submit one additional message to the General Assembly during the special session. As revised the section expresses all of these ideas in a shorter and simpler form than they appear in the reference draft. The various changes suggested are made for reasons which w T ill be obvious, and they need not be discussed at length. Section 9. This section in the reference draft is in the same form as it appears in the present Constitution. It has appeared in practically the same form since the first Constitution in 1818, except that the Convention of 1870 inserted the provision as to the certificate of “the House first moving the adjournment.” Ho change of substance has been made in the section, except to per¬ mit either House to certify the fact of disagreement to the Governor. As the section stands in the reference draft, it is only the House first moving the adjournment which can make the certificate. The Debates of 1870 (p. 776), show that the only purpose of the amendment made at that time was to prevent the Governor from exercising an arbitrary discretion in deciding when the two Houses disagreed as to time of adjournment. There was no intention to give either House an advantage over the other in regard to the certificate, and yet the provision as adopted at that time gives such an advantage to one House; because the House “first moving the adjournment” may refuse to issue the certificate and may thus thwart the intention of this provision. As the section has been revised, either House may make the certificate in question. The minor changes made in the wording of the section are made for reasons which will be obvious and need not be discussed in detail. Sections 10 and 11. These two sections are both concerned with the appointing power of the Governor. Their provisions logically belong in a single section and they have accordingly been consolidated. Section 10 of the reference draft is taken without change from the present Constitution—except as to the provision regarding notaries pub¬ lic, which was added as an amendment. Section 11 in the reference draft is also taken without change from the present Constitution—except that the words “in case the Senate is not in session when an act creating an appointive office takes effect” have been added as an amendment. If the two sections are anatyzed they will be found to contain the following ideas: 1921.] CO X S TIT OTIOXAL COX VEX TTO X. 449 1. The Governor shall nominate and appoint all officers whose appointment or election is not otherwise prescribed by law, but the appointment shall require the consent of the majority of the Senate. 2. No officer shall be appointed or elected by the General Assembly. 3. The appointment of notaries public need not be confirmed by the Senate. 4. If a vacancy exists during recess of the Senate in any office where the consent of the State is required for the appoint¬ ment, the Governor shall make a temporary appointment, to expire with the next meeting of the Senate. 5. The same provision applies to a vacancy existing when an act creating such an appointive office goes into effect during recess of the Senate. 6. In either of the cases last mentioned the Governor must nominate some person for the office at the next meeting of the Senate. 7. The person so nominated and confirmed by the Senate shall hold office during the remainder of the term. 8. Any person rejected by the Senate shall not be nominated for the same-office during the same session unless at the request of the Senate. 9. A person rejected by the Senate shall not be appointed to the office during the recess of the Senate. The first provision contains the substantial grant of appointing power to the Governor. The provision logically belongs in a separate paragraph, and it has been so revised. The language of the reference draft has been shortened and simplified but the meaning of the pro¬ vision remains unchanged. The detailed changes suggested in phrase¬ ology need not be discussed. Provision No. 4 as above outlined should logically come next, since it concerns the Governor's power of appointment during the recess of the Senate. It is obvious that this power of the Governor should be no broader in scope than the first provision. In other words, under this provision, the Governor's power to make temporary appointments during the recess of the Senate should be limited to the same offices to which he may make appointments with the consent of the Senate during its session. But the language of the reference draft does not reach this result, because the scope of Section 11 is broader than that of Section 10. Section 11 purports to give the Governor the appointing power during the recess of the Senate, over “any office which is not elective." What about offices which are not elective but where the appointing power is vested in some other officer than the Governor—as for example, bank examiners who are appointed by the Auditor without confirmation bv anyone. (Hurd's Revised Statutes, Chap. 16A, Sec. 8). The Governor does not have the appointing power over all appointive State offices. (People v. Evans, 247 Ill. 547, 1910). On the other hand, the General Assembly may create appointive offices to be filled by the Governor with¬ out the consent of the Senate; in such cases Section 11 is not concerned. It is obvious from what has been said that the provision in Section 11 —29 C J 450 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, as to the appointing power of the Governor during the recess of the Senate is not well expressed. Accordingly provision No. 4 as above outlined has been revised so that it is limited to the offices, where if the Senate were in session its consent would be necessary for the appoint¬ ment. Provision No. 5 as above outlined was added as an amendment by the Committee of the Whole. Some doubt has arisen in the past con¬ cerning the question here involved. (Debates, June 2, 1920, p. 15). As revised, the section reads “If a vacancy exists during the recess of the Senate. 7 ’ This language covers a “vacancy 77 arising under a new law as well as a vacancy arising under an existing law. Accordingly the words of the reference draft used to express this provision may be dropped. Provision No. 2 as above outlined should be construed in connection with Section 15 of the legislative article of the present Constitution, forbidding members of the General Assembly to be appointed to office. It is obvious from the two sections that the General Assembly is pro¬ hibited from exercising any power of appointment or election and this prohibition by implication is intended to apply to both the Senate and House of Representatives—except of course for the appointing of the particular officers of the two Houses under Section 9 of the Legislative Article. There is, however, no specific prohibition which prevents the Senate or House of Representatives from being given power to appoint or elect officers; such prohibition is, as already stated, only inferential. Accordingly the provision as revised has been made specific, so that it covers the General Assembly, the Senate and tffe House of Representa¬ tives, with the exception just noted. The provision has been put at the end of the section, since that is its logical place from the point of viev r of paragraph unity. The third provision outlined above, affecting notaries public, has been slightly revised without change in meaning. The seventh provision above outlined is unnecessary. If the officer in question is nominated and confirmed by the Senate it follows as a matter of course that he will hold office until the end of the term. Accordingly this provision has been omitted. The eighth and ninth provisions above outlined have been revised without substantial change^ except to shorten and condense them. The reference draft speaks of a “recess of the General Assembly. 77 This language has been changed.to “recess of the Senate, 77 since that is the language used in the first part of the section. As the two sections have been thus revised they express all the ideas of the reference draft in a form which makes the various provisions easier of comprehension and more definite in their application. It should be observed, however, that the sections do not touch upon all the appoint¬ ing power of the Governor. The Governors power of appointment is of five kinds: 1. Original appointments in appointive offices requiring con¬ sent of the Senate. 2. Temporary appointments to such offices during the recess of the Senate. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 451 3. Original appointments in appointive offices not requiring consent of the Senate. 4. Appointments to fill vacancies in such offices. 5. Appointments to fill vacancies in elective offices until the office can be filled by election. It is obvious that the two sections here under consideration are concerned with only the first two kinds of appointment. Section 12. This section was new in the Constitution of 1870. . It has been taken over without change by the reference draft. The section contains the following ideas: . 1. The Governor’s power of removal is made coextensive with his power of appointment. 2. The power of removal can only be exercised for cause, and the causes are incompetency, neglect of duty and malfeasance in office. 3. The Governor may declare the office vacant when the officer has been removed. 4. The Governor may fill the office as in other cases of vacancy. The first two provisions have been revised in a somewhat condensed form, but their meaning remains the same. The third and fourth provisions have been dropped as unnecessary. If an officer is "removed" the office is rendered "vacant,” without any declaration to that effect. And it follows as a matter of course that when the office becomes "vacant” the power of the Governor to fill it arises automatically under the previous sectiou. Section 13. this section is the same as the provision in the present Constitution except that the words "either unconditionally or upon such conditions and with such restrictions and limitations as he may think proper” have been added as an amendment in Committee of the Whole. The section contains two main ideas: 1. The power of granting reprieves, commutations and pard¬ ons is lodged with the Governor. 2. The procedure with reference to applying therefor shall be regulated by the General Assembly. In the section as revised these two ideas have been expressed in a shorter and clearer form than in the reference draft, but without change in meaning. . Section U. This section has not been changed except in matters o± detail. The words "military and naval forces of the State have been changed to "armed forces of the State” in accordance with the consistent language used by this committee throughout its reports. 3 The future tense of the verb "shall be called” has been changed to the present tense "are called.” This is in accordance with the consistent policy adopted by this committee in its reports. The adjective "same,” where it is used as a pronoun, has been omitted. Attention has previously been called to the improper use of this word. Section 15. This section has been transferred without change to Section 25 of the Legislative Article. That section contains ihe pro- 453 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, visions which govern impeachments, and it should properly contain the jurisdictional provision as to what officers of the State are subject to impeachment. Section 16. This section of the reference draft is the same as the section in the present constitution. The historical development of this section is important. The Con¬ stitution of 1870 adopted the section in a form which contained about one-ha if of the substance of the section as it now appears in the Consti- tion. That Convention copied the section almost verbatim from the Constitution of 1848. The section, however, was not satisfactory and it was amended by the Third Amendment to the Constitution adopted in 1884. That amendment, in substance, added the second paragraph of the section excepting the last sentence. If the section is analyzed it will be found to refer to the following general matters: 1. All bills passed by the General Assembly shall be submitted to the Governor, and if he signs them they become law. 2. The Governor may disapprove any bill or any part of an appropriation bill. 3. In such event the Governor is required to return the dis¬ approved bill or the appropriation bill disapproved in part, together with his objections, to the House where the particular bill originated. 4. The procedure of the two Houses in regard to bills dis¬ approved by the Governor and in regard to passage over the Gov¬ ernor’s veto is given. 5. The Governor is required to return bills within ten days after they are presented to him, or the bills become law without his signature. 6. After the adjournment of the General Assembly, however, the Governor has thirty days within which to return bills to the office of the Secretary of State; otherwise they become law. These various matters are expressed in a clearer and more logical form in the section as revised. The provision that “bills making appropriations of money out of the treasury shall specify the use and purpose for which the same are made and appropriate to them respectively their several amounts in distinct items and sections/’ concerns the General Assembly and not the Governor. It has accordingly been transferred to Section 18 of the Legislative Article, where it is discussed. The reference draft is obscure as to what happens in case the Gov¬ ernor disapproves certain items of an appropriation bill. Does he sign the bill which he disapproves in part? This uncertainty has been made clear in the section as revised by requiring the Governor to sign such appropriation bill and “append” to the bill a statement of his objections to the particular items or sections. The procedural provisions affecting the method of reconsideration in both Houses, after the Governor has disapproved a bill, have been shortened and simplified in the provision as revised, but without change in meaning. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 453 l.Qe pi ovision that a vote by "yeas and nays” shall be entered noon the journal, is dropped, because under the Legislative Article the "final passage” of all bills requires such a vote and such an entry upon the journal. It seems unnecessary to repeat this provision in this section. As revised the section contains all the ideas of the reference draft without change in meaning. Sections 17 and 19. These two sections concern a single subject- matte], namely, the succession to the office of Governor^ and they have accordingly been consolidated. Both of these sections in the reference draft are taken without change from the present Constitution. The Convention of 1870, how¬ ever, changed and revised each section in substantial respects from the form in which they had previously appeared. If the two sections are analyzed they will be found to be concerned with fourteen possible contingencies: 1. A permanent vacancy in the office of Governor when the Lieutenant Governor is available to succeed. 2 . The same situation when the Lieutenant Governor is not available. 3. A temporary vacancy in the office when the Lieutenant Governor is available. 4. The same situation when the Lieutenant Governor is not available. 5. A permanent vacancy after the Lieutenant Governor has succeeded the Governor when the President of the Senate is avail¬ able. 6. The same situation when the President of the Senate is not available. 7. A temporary vacancy under the same situation when the President of the Senate is available. 8. The same situation when the President of the Senate is not available. 9. A permanent vacancy after the President of the Senate has succeeded to the office when the Speaker of the House of Rep¬ resentatives is available. 10. The same situation when the Speaker of the House is not available. 11. A temporary vacancy under the same situation when the Speaker of the House is available. 12. The same situation when the Speaker of the House is not available. 13. When the Speaker of the House has succeeded to the office and thereafter the office becomes permanently vacant. 14. The same situation when the office becomes temporarily vacant. The reference draft is fairly clear in its application to several of these contingencies, but a number of them are not specifically covered by the provisions in the present Constitution. Thus it may be asked, what happens under the present Constitution if the Speaker of the House succeeds the President of the Senate because of temporary dis- 454 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. G, ability ? Does the Speaker succeed permanently or does the President of the Senate have the right to again take up the office when the tem¬ porary cause of his inability has been removed? The reference draft also is confusing in its classification of the causes which may give rise to succession. The phrase “in case of the death, conviction on impeachment, failure to qualify, resignation, absence from the State, or other disability,” would seem to classify all causes under the one heading of “disability.” Such a classification is incon¬ gruous for several reasons. In the first place, the Governor cannot prop¬ erly be said to be under “disability” when he is dead. Nor is he strictly speaking under "disability” when he has resigned. In the third place, if the word “disability” is correctly used it may be said that the Gov¬ ernor is not disabled because of absence from the State. (The President of the United States, under the established precedents, is not disabled when he is absent from the country.) Further criticism of the classifi¬ cation of the reasons for succession given in the reference draft could be made. If these reasons are analyzed it will be found there are four classes of causes which may give rise to succession to the office: 1. Where the office is rendered permanently vacant, as by the death of the incumbent or by his ouster by conviction, or by his resignation. 2. Where the person in the office has been disabled, as by illness, insanity, etc. The disability may be either temporary or permanent, depending on the facts. 3. Where the party is absent from the State. Under the Con¬ stitution he is forbidden to perform the functions of the office. 4. Where the person is neither disabled nor absent from the State, but simply has not yet qualified for the office. In the section as revised, this order of classification of causes for succession has been observed. The reference draft provides that if the office of Governor is vacated by his death or resignation, or other means, the Lieutenant Gov¬ ernor shall succeed to the “powers, duties and emoluments of the office.” As a matter of fact, when the Governor dies the Lieutenant Governor assumes the office and becomes “Governor.” This has been estab¬ lished by precedent in this State. The language of the reference draft therefore seems not well chosen in this particular. Attention should here be called to the experience in the recent conventions in New York and Pennsylvania. In both of these states the existing Constitu¬ tion is practically identical in this particular with the existing Constitu¬ tion of Illinois. But the Convention of 1915 in New York and the Commission of 1920 in Pennsylvania both provided that when the office of Governor becomes vacant the Lieutenant Governor shall “become Governor.” (See proposed Constitution for New York 1915, Article IV, Section 6, and proposed Constitution for Pennsylvania 1920, Article iy. Section 14.) Accordingly the section as revised here makes the Lieutenant Governor succeed to the office of Governor when that office is vacant. 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 455 The question arises as to what would happen if the Governor and Lieutenant Governor should die or be disqualified and there should be no President of the Senate or Speaker of the House at the time; or if both of the last mentioned officers should also be disqualified or dis¬ abled. The Constitution is silent in this regard; it fails to cover the contingencies enumerated in numbers 10, 12, 13 and 14 as above out¬ lined. It seems advisable to have a provision in the Constitution cover¬ ing these contingencies. Accordingly it is suggested that some provision like the following be added to the section: “If there is no person qualified to act as Governor the General Assembly shall convene in special session upon the call of not less than five members thereof, for the purpose of choosing some person to act as Governor until the office is filled, either by the qualification of the proper person or by an election.” Section IS. This section has been transferred to Section 9 of the Legislative Article. If the section is analyzed it will be found to contain three ideas: 1. The Lieutenant Governor shall be President of the Senate. 2. He shall vote only when the Senate is evenly divided. 3. The Senate shall choose a president pro tempore to pre¬ side when the Lieutenant Governor is absent. The subject matter of each of these provisions is purely legislative; the section has no proper place in the Executive Article. As the section has been revised in the Legislative Article it contains all the ideas of the reference draft without change in meaning. Section 20 . Ibis section has not been changed save in certain minor details. The verb “shall be vacated” in the reference draft is used m the passive voice; it has been changed to the active voice. The future* tense of this verb has been changed to the present tense, to conform to the consistent usage adopted by this committee throughout its reports. The future form of the verb “shall be elected,” in the last part of the leference diaft, has been changed to “is elected” for the same reason The clause “in such manner as may be provided by law” is unnecessary and has been dropped. Sections 21 and 22. These sections are both concerned with the same subject-matter, namely, reports from the officers of the Executive Department and the officers of the public institutions of the State. The* two sections have therefore been consolidated. If the two sections are analyzed they will be found to contain the* following ideas: 1. The officers of the Executive Department and of all the* public institutions of the State shall report to the Governor semi¬ annually and give an account of all moneys received and disbursed by them. Any officer making a false report shall be guilty of perjury and punished accordingly. 3. Each of the officers named in No. 1 above shall also report to the Governor ten days before each regular session of the Genera! Assembly. 456 JOURNAL OF TILE . [Sept. 6, 4 The Governor shall transmit the reports to the General Assembly. 5. The Governor may at any time require further reports in writing from each these officers. It will be noted that the reference draft refers to “reports of the judges of the Supreme Court of defects in the Constitution and laws ” Ihe provision m Section 31 of the present Judiciary Article, requiring such reports from the judges of the Supreme Court, has been dropped from tne judiciary proposal as adopted bv the Convention. The clause above quoted should accordingly be omitted from this section. It is obvious that the phrase “the officers of the Executive Depart- ment' is not intended to include the Governor, since these officers report to the Governor, and since the Governor is required elsewhere in the Constitution to submit a message 77 to the General Assemblj 7 '. - Under the reference draft each “officer 77 of “all public institutions ot the kJate is required to make the report in question. The clear import of the section is to require this report only from the chief officer of such public institutions. The section as revised makes this point clear. r The last part of Section 22, concerning further “information 77 which may be required by the Governor of these officers, is long and involved. The provision has been shortened and simplified in the section as revised without change in meaning. Section 23. This section has not been changed except to condense it by omitting unnecessary words. Section 2^. This section of the reference draft is the same as Sec¬ tion 23, Article V, of the present Constitution. In 1870 a number of scattered provisions in the Constitution of 1848 were gathered together and the subject-matter of those provisions was incorporated in the first sentence of this section. The second sentence of the section was new in 1870. If the section is analyzed it will be found to contain the following ideas: ° 1. Ihe officers named in the Executive Article shall receive salaries and shall receive no other compensation. 2. Ihe salary of any such officer shall not be increased or diminished during his term. 3. All fees which are payable by law for the services of anv officer named in the Executive Article shall be “paid in advance into the State Treasury. 77 The first provision as above outlined has been revised in a shorter and simpler form, but without change in meaning. The second provision has been dropped because its substance has been included in a general provision applicable to all officers of the State, which has been incorporated in Section 21 of the Legislative Article as revised. Ine third provision as above outlined was intended to require that all fees or other payments made by the public to the officers of the Ex¬ ecutive Department should be paid in advance “into the State treasurv. 77 In other words, the fees should not be paid to the particular officer rend- 1921.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 457 ering the service, but should be paid directly to the Treasurer. This provision appeared as a separate section when first introduced into the Convention in 1870; it was consolidated with this section by the Com¬ mittee on Kevision and Adjustment of that Convention. (See Debates 1870, p. 67; also p. 1386; also p. 1782). For this reason and for the reason that the provision here in question is not directly concerned with the first sentence of the section in the reference draft, the two provisions have been revised into separate paragraphs. It is common knowledge that this provision has not produced the result intended; namely, to require all fees to be paid directly “into the State treasury.” Some of the officers of the Executive Department have traditionally received large sums of money for the service rendered by the particular department, and the money is later paid by the depart¬ ment into the State treasury. In the provision as revised, the fees are required to be paid “in advance” and the particular officer receiving them is required to pay them “at once” into the State treasury. There is another method by which some Constitutions arrive at the same result; that is, any person desiring any service from one of these departments shall first pay the fee directly into the State treasury and receive a receipt from the State Treasurer, which will entitle him to the services concerned when presented to the particular officer. Your committee appreciates the full consideration which has been given to this section by the Committee on the Executive Proposal, but suggests that the Con¬ vention should adopt either one of the two methods just outlined in regard to this provision if it is to be made effective. That is, the Con¬ vention should adopt the plan of permitting payment to be made to the particular officer rendering the service, and then require that officer to pay the money “at once into the State treasury,” as suggested in the revision of this committee; or the Convention should revise the pro¬ vision in such a manner that fees shall be paid directly into the State treasury and a receipt presented to the particular officer for the service desired. Section 25. Yo change has been made in this section except to omit unnecessary words. The section is applicable to all officers in the State and should be transferred to a general article on “Officers.” Section 26. The first sentence of this section has been incorporated m Section 4 of the Legislative x4rticle, where the provision is discussed at legnth. The second sentence of the section has been transferred to Section 21 of the Legislative Article, where an inclusive provision covering the same ground has been revised and where the matter is fully discussd. Section 27. Yo change has been suggested in this section. Section 28. Yo change has been suggested in this section. Section 29. This section is new to this Convention. As revised, the section contains all the ideas of the reference draft in a somewhat shorter and simpler form. The reports of the committee were ordered printed and the pro¬ posals included therein, were placed on the order of second reading. Mr. Wall offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: 458 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 6, Resolution No. 35. Resolved, That when the Convention adjourns today it adjourn to meet on Tuesday, January 3, 1922, at 10:00 o’clock a. m. Whereupon, Mr. Whitman offered as a substitute the same resolu¬ tion, with the time of reconvening changed from January 3, 1922, to November 1, 1921. The question being on the adoption of the substitute, it was decided in the negative. The question recurring on the adoption of the resolution, a division was had resulting as follows: Yeas, 31; nays, 11. And the resolution was adopted. Mr. Mighell offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: Resolution No. 36. Resolved, That it is the desire of this Convention that the vacancies in its membership caused by death or resignation be filled by special elec¬ tion and it recommends to the Governor that such elections be called. And the resolution was adopted. At the hour of 11:35 o'clock a. m., Mr. Green moved that the Con¬ vention do now adjourn. The motion prevailed.

The Journal of Wednesday, December 8, 1920, having been printed, and placed on the desks of the Delegates, as provided under the rules, was taken up and, no corrections appearing, was ordered to stand ap¬ proved. The Convention proceeding on the order of Beports of Standing Committees; Mr. Clarke presented a supplemental report, amending sections 6 and 7 of Beport No. 12, of the Committee on Phraseology and Style, submitted to the Convention on September 6, 1921, as fol¬ lows : Amend Beport No. 12, the legislative article, by substituting m lieu of sections 6 and 7, thereof, the following: Section 6. The General Assembly shall apportion the State at any ses¬ sion which may be then pending, or, if none, then at its first session following the adoption of this Constitution and in the year 1931 and every ten (10) years thereafter, into fifty-seven (57) senatorial districts, each of which shall elect one Senator whose term of office shall be four (4) years and the basisi of senatorial apportionment shall be the number of voters who voted for Governor at the last regular election at which a Governor was elected previous to the apportionment. The territory now constituting the county of Cook shall be divided by the General Assembly into nineteen (19) senatorial districts and the num¬ ber of such voters in that territory shall be divided by the number nineteen (19) and the quotient shall be the ratio of representation in the Senate for that territory. The territory now constituting the remainder of the State shall be divided by the General Assembly into thirty-eight (38) senatorial districts and the number of such voters in that territory shall be divided by the number thirty-eight (38) and the quotient shall be the ratio of representa¬ tion in the Senate for that territory. When a county contains two (2) or more ratios of its territory it shall be divided by the General Assembly into as many senatorial districts as it has such ratios. Districts in counties so divided shall be bounded b\ pie- cinct or ward lines, or both; all other senatorial districts shall be bounded by county lines. All senatorial districts shall be formed of compact and contiguous terri¬ tory and the districts in each territory shall contain as nearly as practicable an equal number of such qlectors but in no case less than four-fifths (%) of the ratio for that territory. Senators shall be so elected that the term of those now in office shall not be disturbed. They shall be divided into two classes so that one-half as nearly as practicable shall be chosen biennially. Section 7. At the same time that the senatorial apportionment is made the State shall be apportioned into representative districts. Members of the House of Representatives shall be elected for the term of two (2) years from each county or district. 460 JOURNAL OF THE [Jan. 3, Each county shall be entitled to one representative in the House of Representatives. Each county having a population in excess of fifty thou¬ sand (50,000) shall have one additional representative for each additional fifty thousand (50,000) population, or major fraction thereof. Each county entitled to more than one representative shall be divided by the General Assembly into as many representative districts as there are representatives to be elected from such county. Such districts shall be formed of compact and contiguous territory bounded by precinct lines and containing as nearly as practicable an equal number of inhabitants but in no case less than four-fifths {%) of the quotient resulting from dividing the population of that county by the number of representatives to which it is entitled.

Briggs, of the First Methodist Church, of Freeport. The Journal of Tuesdatq September 6, 1921, having been printed, and placed on the desks of the Delegates, as provided under the rules, was taken up and no corrections appearing, was ordered to stand ap¬ proved.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom panying Report on Proposal No. 359, being a Proposal in Relation to Education. Sections 1 and 2. As will be observed, no change is recommended in these sections. The first is a repetition of the first section of the Article on Education in the Constitution of 1870. The second section -s 3 “ e Of° these sections it should be noted that neither of them is in form a limitation upon the powers of the General Assembly, but eaci o is in form a mandate. By these two sections the General Assembly is required, first, to provide free schools for children, and second to main¬ tain and develop the University of Illinois. As stated in this co . mittee’s first report, it is not the function of the Constitution to confer power upon the General Assembly, but the State has all power not by the Federal Constitution vested in the Federal Government and the Legislative Department of the State is the repository of all State power not denied to the Legislature or conferred by the State Constitution upon some other branch of the State Government. When, there ore a constitution purports to grant power to the General Assembly it is effect an attempt to confer power upon omnipotence. As this is an possibility, the courts construe such provisions as limitations of powei. (People v. Couchman, 15 Ill. 142, 1853; People v. Salomon, 51 Ill. 37, 1869- Chicago & Alton R. R. v. People, 67 Ill. 11? 1873; Updike Wright, 81 Ill. 49, 1876; Sanner v. Patton, 155 Ill. 553 Hutchinson 172 Ill. 486, 1898; Christie v. People, 206 Ill. 337, 1903, Bwd of Commissioners, 221 Ill. 493 1906 ;PeopUv. DMe Gemeinde, 249 Ill. 132, 1911.) Thus the first section of this article l- held to prevent the exclusion of any children from the public school,.. 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 465 Colored children or unvaccinated children cannot be excluded since the provision reads: “whereby all children of this State may receive a good common school education." ( People v. Mayor of Alton, 193 11!. 309, 1901 People v. Board of Education, 234 Ill. 422, 1908.) It should be considered, therefore, what additional limitations, if any, are imposed by these sections. Is the General Assembly thereby forbidden to pass laws providing for schools other than schools for children, for instance tech¬ nical schools for adults, or institutions or higher learning other than the University? Section 3. This is the same as section 2 of the Article on Educa¬ tion in the present Constitution with the exception of the tense of the final verb which in the present Constitution is “were” and in the refer¬ ence draft .is “are.” The substance of this section first appeared in the rejected Constitution of 1862. The debates of that Convention indicate that its primary purpose was to prevent the diversion of the lands granted by the Federal Government to the State in aid of education. (Debates of *J v Convention, 1862, March 14; remarks of Mr. Lawrence). It was incor¬ porated into the Constitution of 1810 without explanation or debate. The Supreme Court early held that this section prevented the taxation of school property and even a levy of special assessments for benefits. (City of Chicago v. People, 80 Ill. 384, 1875; People v. Trustees , 118 111. 52, 1886.) In the case of Crosse v. People, 218 Ill. 342, 1905, how¬ ever, the Supreme Court held that the use of the past tense in the verb “were” indicated that the section was intended to exempt from taxation only lands donated prior to 1810. As the argument of the opinion based upon the grammatical construction is not persuasive, it may be surmised that the decision was prompted in part by the belief that school lands ought not to be exempted from special assessments, save as the Constitu¬ tion imperatively required. The debates in Committee of the Whole indicate that in changing the word “were” to “are” it was the intention to avoid the effect of the decision in Crosse v. People, and to include in the forbidden diversion all taxation, general and special, on property which has been in the past, or may be in the future, given for public educational purposes. Tour com¬ mittee assumes that it was not the intention of the Convention to forbid by this section diversion of gifts made to private educational institutions. (University of Chicago 1 v. People, 118 111. 565, 1886.) The section as adopted in Committe of the Whole is in the affirm¬ ative, leaving the intended prohibition to inference. The better form is to express the prohibition intended and this, of course, can only be done by a negative. “Lands” and “money” are property and when the diversion o! “property” is forbidden there is included a prohibition upon diversion of lands and money and therefore your committee has consolidated the words “all lands, money or other property” into the word “property.” Under the section as adopted in Committee of the Whole, it is required that “property donated, granted or received” shall be “faithfully applied. Property cannot be “faithfully applied” until it is “received and the words “donated” and “granted” are therefore unnecessary. It may be —30 C .J JOURNAL OP THE [Jan. 31, doubted whether it is necessary to include as your committee lias, the words “and the proceeds of such porperty,” but in view of the stress laid by the Supreme Court upon the use of the words “'proceeds thereof” in the case of People v. City of Chicago, 216 Ill. 537, 1905, your committee has considered it more prudent to use the words “and the proceeds of such property.” Under the section as adopted in Committee of the Whole it may he doubted whether property given for school purposes could be applied to either a college or seminary or university, or whether money given for university purposes could be applied to either a school, college or semi- narv; while under the form recommended bv your committee the onlv prohibition is that the property shall not be diverted from educational purposes and the authorities in control of any parpertv given, for educa¬ tion would not by this section alone be forbidden to apply such property to some other educational activity. Section 4. This section appeared in the Constitution for the first time in 1810 (Debates 1870, pp. 617-626). In County of Cool: v. In¬ dustrial School , 125 Ill. 540, 1888. it was held that the section forbids payment of money for care of children committed to sectarian institu¬ tions by the courts. But in Dunn v. Chicago Industrial School , 280 Ill. 613, 1911, it was held that such payments might be made when it clearly appeared that the payment was less than it would cost to care for the inmate in a State institution. See also Dunn v. Addison School, 281 HI. 352, 1917; Trost v. Ketteler Manual Training Schoool, 282 Ill. 504 1918; and St. H eg wig’s School v. County of Cool, 289 Ill. 432, 1919. The debates in Committee of the Whole indicate an intention to change the rule thus laid down by the Supreme Court and forbid pay¬ ments to sectarian institutions even when such payments are less than the cost of keeping the inmate. Two exceptions are made: (a) pay¬ ments are permitted for property taken by eminent domain, and (b) aplication of the section to certain institutions is postponed for fifteen years. By the reference draft (I) the General Asemblv, any (II) county, (III) city, (IV) town, (V) township, (VI) school district, (VII) other public corporations are forbidden ever to make (1) appropriations, (2) payments, (3) grants, (4) donations, to (a) any church, or (b) for any sectarian purpose. It is also forbidden to make (1) appropriations, or (2) payments to (c) any school, (d) academy, (e) seminaries, (f) col¬ leges, (g) universities, or (h) other literary or (i) scientific institutions controlled by (x) any church, or (y) sectarian denomination. The order is loose and without logical arrangement. If the section be made to read so that the payment of any public money or the giving or appli¬ cation of any public property to the forbidden purposes is prohibited, there is obviouslv no need for including the General Assemblv, countv, city, town, township, school district, and other corporations. Accord¬ ingly, vour committee has phrased its draft so as to forbid the payment of public money or the giving or application of public property to the forbidden purposes. When there is a prohibition upon the payment of money or the giving or application of property, it seems unnecessary to forbid (1) appropriations, (2) payments, (3) grants, or (4) donations, 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 467 and it would seem that the concepts included in “schools, academies, seminaries, colleges, universities and other literary or scientific institu¬ tions controlled by any church or sectarian denomination” are adequately and more briefly expressed by “sectarian purposes or to any institution controlled by a church or sect.” Under the reference draft no payment could be made from public moneys for rent, or purchase price in the event property should be leased to, or bought by, the public from a church or sectarian institution. The reference draft evidently contemplated that the property of sectarian institutions could be acquired by the public only through condemnation proceedings. It has been suggested to your committee by many dele¬ gates, including the mover of this section, that this prohibition was broader than is desirable and that the Constitution should not prohibit the purchase or lease of church or sectarian property by the State or a subdivision thereof. Accordingly, the draft of your committee excepts from tlie prohibition moneys paid for rent or purchase price. If the Convention should not desire to make this change the exception as written in the reference draft can of course he easilv substituted. The ♦ * other exception made by the reference draft by postponing the applica¬ tion of the section in certain cases, vour committee has thought should lie inserted in the schedule and it is accordingly omitted here. It would seem from the debates in Committee of the Whole (Debates of May 6. page 3), that it was not the intention of the Convention to prohibit payment for the care of public charges by hospitals, though controlled by churches or sects. Your committee is informed that in many of the counties of the State there are no county cr other public hospitals and the county poor are customarily cared for in private or charitable hospitals at the expense of the county. Upon the assumption that it is not the intention of the Convention to interfere with this practice, your committee has inserted in its draft an exception “or for the hospitals care of the sick when only a sectarian hospital is available.” It should be noted that by the reference draft all of the provisions of the section are denied application to certain institutions for fifteen years. This was, of course, not the intention. It was only intended that during that period limited payments could he made. Tn general it should he noted that the reference draft is long, in¬ volved and ambigious ; it contains one hundred words in a single sen¬ tence and must he read over and over again before.it can be understood. It is a striking example of the offense against unity of thought which should he observed above all in constitutional drafting. (See Herrick &■ Damon, “Composition and Rhetoric,” p. 305; Wendell, “English Composition,” pp. 223-224 ; Wooley, “Handbook of Composition,’ pp. 29-30; Hitchcock, “Composition and Rhetoric,” pp. 379-382: Willard, “Legislative Handbook,” p. 151; Ilbert, “Mechanics of Law Making,” p. 117.) Bv its redraft your committee has sought also to correct what appears to be in the reference draft a violent breach of the rule laid down in Ilbert, “Mechanics of Law Making,” p. 117, as follows: “Avoid enumeration of particulars. It is almost impossible to make enumerations exhaustive, and accidental omission max he com- 468 JOURNAL OF THE [Jan. 31, strued as implying deliberate exclusion in accordance with the maxim Expressio unius est exclusio alterius. State each rule in general terms and so far as practicable test each application to a particular case for the purpose of seeing how far it will work in each case/ 5 This section probably does not belong in the educational article and upon the second reference to this committee it will doubtless be relocated. That part of the reference draft which your committee recommends should be included in the schedule has been rephrased thus: "Section 4 of Article 8 shall not apply for fifteen yeais aftei • the adoption of this Constitution to payments made for partial support of inmates in institutions which have received such pa- ments from public funds since Januaiy 1, 191b. # Section 5. Section five as it appears in the reference draft is a good instance of weakening the prohibition by multiplying words. "A o school officer 55 as it appears in the draft of your committee is a stronger prohibition than “no state, county, township, or distiict school officer of the reference draft and it is assumed .that the purpose of the section is to make the prohibition as strong as language permits. If' the Constitution is construed as presently speaking, as it should he under correct rules of construction, there is no need of multiplying tenses of verbs as in “used or to be used. 55 Bv inserting "financially 55 it is thought the words “sale, proceeds or profit 55 can be omitted. . ... Believing that it was the intention of the Convention to prohibit the making of profit by any school officer by reason of his official posi¬ tion, your committee has inserted a prohibition upon liis financial in¬ terest in any contract concerning his school. Under the from reported by your committee a school officer is forbidden to make a piofit from any contract, such as one for the purchase of land for a school. This is not forbidden by the reference draft. „ Your committee has omitted the final clause of the refeience draft, "under such penalties as may be provided by the General Assembly, because this confers no power upon the General Assembly and might be construed as imposing some limitation. Whether this phrase be left or not, the forbidden contract will be voidable if not void, but no other punishment may be visited upon an offender unless the General As¬ sembly shall so provide. Such provision may be made just as well with¬ out this last clause as with it. It is probable that this section can be consolidated to advantage with another section prohibiting fraudulent transactions by officers or em¬ ployees of the State.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 357, being a Proposed Relative to the Boundaries of the State of Illinois. The Act of Congress of April 18, 1818, enabling the people of Illi¬ nois to form a State, fixed its boundaries and required its first Constitu¬ tional Convention to accept them. Accordingly, the Constitution of 1818 contained an article ratifying the boundaries thus established and a similar article on boundaries has appeared in every Constitution since that elate. The State was bounded by natural monuments, except for a portion of the line between Illinois and Indiana, and the line between Illinois and Wisconsin. The Illinois-Indiana boundary was surveyed in the %j */ year 1821 by a joint commission of the. two states. (Illinois: Act of February 6, 1821, providing for such commission; also Act of February 17, 1823, approving the survey as made. Indiana: Act of January 8, 1821; Joint Resolution, December 11, 1821). Apparently no difficulty has ever arisen over this survey. The northern boundary of the State was fixed by the Enabling Act as 42° 30' north latitude and all of the Constitutions of the State have so described it. However, the line as it was surveyed and as it has always been observed; diverges from north latitude 42° 30', and the facts here involved should be considered by the Convention. 1922. ] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 471 This line was surveyed by a joint commission of the United states and the State of Illinois. The commission was authorized on the part of the United States by an Act of Congress, passed April 18, 1831, and on the part of Illinois by the Act of January 2, 1829. (Revised Laws of Illinois, 1829, p. 11). A supplementary Act was passed in this State February 5, 1831, which provided that the survey should be made by “celestial observation and not by mariner’s compass”, and further pro¬ vided that stone markers should be set up on the line every five miles. The commission started its work in October, 1831, at a point on the Mississippi River and surveyed the line eastward to some distance east of the Rock River when winter intervened. The Black Hawk War pre¬ vented the continuance of the work in the following spring and the survey was not completed until January, 1832. The report of the commissioner for the United States may be found in the Congressional Journal, Senate Document 234, 24th Congress First Session. The report of the commissioner for Illinois was filed with the Governor, February 12, 1833 (See H. J. 1833, p. 504), and may be found—together with the field notes of the survey—in the office of the Auditor of Public Accounts. The commissioners explain in their report that the inclemency of the weather prevented a survey by celestial observation and, accordingly, the line was surveyed by use of the compass. The commissioners also explain that the difficulty of getting suitable stone prevented the marking of the line as the Act required and, ac¬ cordingly, the line was marked in a comparatively few places. Tlie line as surveyed is inaccurate and departs in several localities from true north latitude 42° 30'. The best discussion of the subject is found in “Bulletins Wisconsin ‘Hist. Soc. Coll. XI, ‘The Boundaries of Wisconsin/ ” p. 501, where the divergence of the line as surveyed is described by Prof. Reuben G. Thwaites of the University of Wisconsin. He quotes Prof. John E. Daviess of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey as follows: “The line as it is, does not represent parallel 42° 30' as the Constitution of each state prescribes. It zigzags to and fro, having been made by a surveyor’s compass apparently in the hands of Lucius Lvon, TYiited States Commissioner. The line should gx> further south than it now is—about three-quarters of a mile in the western part of Wisconsin; and further north in and east of Beloit/’ The subject is also discussed in an article by Prof. H. G. James, “Preamble and Boundary Articles of the Constitution of Illinois”, found in the proceedings of Chicago Historical Society,' Yol. Y, p. 1. Your committee is in receipt of a letter dated November 19, 1920, from R. IT. Batterman, County Surveyor for Rock County, Wis¬ consin, which shows a considerable divergence of the surveyed line from the true line in the city of Beloit, Wis., where it is obvious that property rights of a very substantial character are involved. The letter is in part as follows: “The boundary varies from true latitude 42° 30' and I refer you to Rockford and Belvidere Quadrangle U. S. Geological Survey * * *. The city of Beloit, (Wis.), is situated on the north side of the state line and (if the true line were observed) would probably 472 JOURNAL OF THE [Jan. 31, lose three blocks of residence and business property, while South Beloit, Ill., would gain.” Your committee is informed that a similar divergence exists along the eastern part of the line and that in Lake County the observed line is roughly half a mile too far south. The inaccuracy of the line as surveyed seems to have been appreci¬ ated quite early by the Government of the United States, for the Senate by resolution (December 22, 1835), requested the Secretary of the Treasury to lay before it the report of the commissioner who surveyed the line. (Senate Document 234, 24th Congress, First Session) Shortly thereafter a Federal Act was passed which provided . that the northern boundary line, ascertained, surveyed and marked * * shall be deemed and taken as the line . in north latitude fort}-two degrees thirty minutes * * * and shall be and forvere remain the northern boundary line of said State”. (U. S. Statutes at Large, Vol. V, p. 57, approved June 23, 183G). The effect of this action on the part of Congress is doubtful. It may be questioned how far the Federal Government could alter the boundaries of a sovereign state after its admision, especially by cutting off part of its territory. Furthermore, the Enabling Act for Wisconsin (approved August 8, 1846) fixed the southern boundary of that state as “42° 30' north latitude” without reference to the Act of June 23, 1836. This raises the question whether the Act of 18o6 may not have been repealed by implication. The state of Wisconsin by its Constitution adopted in the year 1848, accepted the boundary line as 42° 30' north latitude. Your committee cannot find that there has ever been any official action on the part of the State of Illinois approving the line as surveyed. Even if there had been some action taken by the General Assembly of Illinois or by the Executive Department of the State in an attempt to approve the inaccurate survey, it may be questioned whether such action would be constitutional. In other words, when the Constitution of the State adopted in 1818 fixed the boundary at 42° 30' north latitude it is questionable whether the General Assembly or any officer of the State could change that boundary. There remains, however, the question of what effect follows from nearly a century's observance of the inaccurate line. If ligitation arose over the point, the Supreme Court of this State or of the United States might hold that the line as surveyed had become the actual boundary line because of long observance. (See Missouri v. Iowa, 7 Howard, 660). . . In view of the facts above discussed the logical results of continuing a boundaries article m the Constitution should be considered. In the first place such an article in the Constitution of 1920 would probably hamper any proposed settlement of this question by the two states. Thus it seems clear that the General Assembly of this State would be prevented from adjusting the boundary question with Wisconsin through a joint commission or otherwise. Such a settlement between the two states could only be authorized so far as Illinois was concerned by a subsequent amendment to the Constitution. Again, it is clear that the territorial jurisdiction of the State is necessarily limited by the boundaries recited in the Constitution. There 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION 473 is in fact at this time a considerable amount of territory now occupied by Illinois which lies north.of true 42° 30' north latitude. If m such territory there should arise ligitation, either criminal or civil—let us say a prosecution for murder or a suit to collect taxes—the question of the -jurisdiction of the Illinois courts would immediately arise. Indeed, the Constitution itself could be cited as authority for lack of jurisdiction on the part of the courts of this State. The same is true of the teiritorv now occupied by Wisconsin which lies south of the true boundary. Here again, the territory is of considerable extent. . Finally, if the Constitution of the State is considered as a limitation rather than a grant of power to an otherwise sovereign state Govern¬ ment, the only effect of a boundaries article is to restrict the jurisdiction of the state. " For it is obvious that the territorial jurisdiction oi the state cannot be increased by recitals in its Constitution. The question of the necessity of a boundaries article may be con¬ sidered further in the light of the experience of other states. An ex¬ amination of the various state constitutions shows that twenty-four out of forty-eight states in the Union have no such provisions in their con¬ stitutions. The custom of putting such an article into the constitution of a state seems to have been due to the fact that the Enabling Act o CoAgress usually required the new state to accept in its constitution the boundaries laid down by that Act. (See Illinois Central R. B • Co. v. Illinois, 146 U. S. 38-7, p. 434). After a state has formally accepted its boundaries by its first constitution and has been admitted to the Union the purposes of such a recital seem to have been fully peifoimet. The United States through the Enabling Act and the particular state through its first constitution thereby enter into a compact regarding tic- boundaries of the state and that compact made between two sovereign powers cannot thereafter be affected by further recitals m subsequent state constitutions. Or if it is possible for such recitals to affect the boundaries of the state it would seem that the only result would be an adverse one. Though it is obvious that Illinois could not gam territory from Wisconsin by misdescription in the boundaries article; yet Illinois by this means might possibly relinquish either jurisdiction or territory Your committee therefore recommends that this article be omitted from the Constitution of 1920 for the reasons above given which may be summarized as follows: . 1 The only purpose of such an article is to accept the boundaries of the State as defined in the Enabling Act of Congress; and this result is accomplished when the first Constitution has been adopted. 2. The retention of the boundaries article in the Constitution may prevent a possible adjustment in the future of the northern boundary 3 r phe recital of the boundaries in the Constitution limits the territorial jurisdiction of the courts and might raise serious questions in future litigation. 4 . The limitation necessarily implied by a boundaries article seeim unfortunate since its only result — if it has any result is to affect the State adversely. s 474 JOURNAL OF THE [Jan. 31, 5. One- half of the states of the U nion do not have an article on boundaries in their constitutions and it is obvious that the article is unnecessary. T our committee has redrafted the article on boundaries in a form which it recommends if this article is to be retained in the Constitution. The word “jurisdiction’* in the first line of the reference draft deserves special attention. It did not appear in the Enabling Act of Congress, nor in the Constitution of 1818 but appeared first in the Constitution of 1848. It was copied by the rejected Constitution of 1862 and by the Constitution of 1810. The word “jurisdiction'’ as here used is unnecessary for three reasons. In the first place it is obvious that the territorial jurisdiction of the State will be at least as large as its boundaries, and there is no occasion for asserting that fact in the Constitution. Again, many of the states which do have an article on boundaries in their constitution* omit the word “jurisdiction” from the article. Two notable examples of this are the states of Wisconsin and California. Finally, it should be obeserved that it is not correct to say that the jurisdiction of the State of Illinois is coextensive with its boundaries. The State, as a matter of fact, has jurisdiction in a number of instances beyond its boundaries as will be shown later. For these reasons the word “juris¬ diction" should be omitted. Turning now to the proviso which appears at the end of the. article, it is obvious that the proviso is an exception made necessary by the use of the word “jurisdiction.” There is an essential contradiction in the article when the proviso is considered, since the body of the article states that the “jurisdiction” is limited by the boundaries while the proviso at the end of the article lays down a contrary rule. There are at least four instances in which the State of Illinois has been expressly granted jurisdiction beyond its boundaries. The Supreme Court of the United States in Wedding v. Meyler, 192 U. S. 573, 1904, held that the State of Illinois possessed a concurrent jurisdiction with Kentucky over the portion of the Ohio Fiver which forms the boundary between the two states. This is due to an early Act of the State of Virginia providing for the formation of a state out of the “District of Kentucky” and giving concurrent jurisdiction to the states which might “possess the opposite shores” of the Ohio Fiver. The Supreme Court of this State has discussed this concurrent jurisdiction in the case of Union Bridge Company v. Industrial Commission, 287 Ill. 396, 1919. The Enabling Act of Congress for the State of Indiana granted to Indiana and Illinois concurrent jurisdiction over the Wabash Fiver so far as that river forms the common boundrav between the two states. (Act of Congress, 3 Stat. at Large, p. 289, 1816) This jurisdiction was reaffirmed in the Enabling Act for Illinois. (Act of Congress, 3 Stat. at Large, p. 428, 1818). The Enabling Act for the State of Missouri gave to Illinois and Missouri concurrent jurisdiction over the Mississippi Fiver where it forms the common boundary between the two states. (Act of Congress, • Stat. at Large, p. 545, 1820). ) CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 475 1922.] The Enabling* Act for the State of Iowa gave a similar jurisdiction to Iowa and Illinois over the part of the Mississippi River which forms tiie common boundary between those two states. (Act of Congress, 5 Stat. at Large, p. 742, 1845). The reference draft in the proviso contains the words such lurcher jurisdiction as this State and any bordering state may agree upon.' A short consideration makes it apparent that these words were used ad¬ visedly. Thus it might become desirable for the State of Illinois to make an agreement with the k^tate of Michigan oi w ith the State of Indiana, or with both of them, concerning the middle waters of Lake Michigan. If the word “jurisdiction” is retained in the main body of the article it is necessary to retain some such phrase as that above quoted. But just as the omission of the word “jurisdiction*’ in the main body of the article makes it unnecessary to provide in the proviso for con¬ current jurisdiction with other states vhich has alieady been established, so also it becomes unnecessary to provide in the proviso for possible con¬ current jurisdiction to be acquired by agreement with othei states in the future. Accordingly, your committee has omitted the proviso. The incidental changes in phraseology made by your committee will now be considered. The word Mo-wit in the first line of the lefeienm draft is omitted as unnecessary. The word ‘Then’’ in the second line has been changed to “’thence” since the idea expressed is one oi distance and not of time; moreover, the word “thence’’ has been used elsewhere throughout the reference draft. The words "the same” ha\e oeeii stricken out for reasons given in the prior reports of this committee and the words “that river” substituted. The phrase “* * * and with the line of Indiana to tne -North¬ west corner of said State” seem to your committee uncertain in their meaning. The “line” referred to is of course an established line and language should be used to indicate how the line has been established. It was fixed by a survey made by a joint commission of the two state-; and the survey Avas approved by an Act of the General Assembly m Illinois. (February 17, 1823).* Accordingly your committee in its draft has made reference to this Act of the General Assembly. The line as surveyed, hoAvever, begins on the north bank oi the A abash Fiver and not at the “middle” of the river. To make a complete description of the boundarv at this point it is necessary to project the surveyed line south to the middle of the river to close the gap. Your committee has, accord¬ ingly, described the Indiana-lllinois boundary in a manner to meet these two objections and has used such words as make the desciiption of that boundary complete and exact. The phrase “thence east Avith the line of \he same State to the middle of Lake Michigan” your committee believes can better be ex¬ pressed by “thence east along the northern boundary of the State ol Indiana to the middle oi Lake Michigan. The word “north” your committee has changed to "northerly since in the waters of Lake Michigan that change conforms to the facts. The reference draft provides that the line in Lake Michigan shah extend “* * * north to the line of north latitude 42° 30' as the same projected east was or may heroalter be ascertained, sui \ca ed, estab- 476 JOURNAL OF THE [Jan. 31, wording lished and marked.” It is obvious that the language here used is not consistent since the purpose is to describe the boundary as being fixed either by the line previously surveyed or a line which mav be surveyed in the future. If the line should be surveyed in the future the questions arise: Which line would be the true boundary line under the language here used? Or would there be some sort of option to be exercised as between the two lines? Again, if the new line were to become the boundary line, is the language here used self-executing ? This seems therefore unfortunate. Your committee has already called attention to the fact that this line as surveyed is not true 42° 30' north latitude. It follows as a matter of course that the surveyed line projected east in Lake Michigan will not be true 42° 30' north latitude at the middle of the lake. It is not correct, therefore, to say that the line in Lake Michigan shall extend “Xorth * * * to the line of north latitude 42° 30' as the same pro¬ jected east was” etc. Accordingly, your committee has rephrased this portion of the article to describe accurately the junction in Lake Michi¬ gan of the east and the north boundary line. The reference draft has described the north boundary of the State as being the line established and surveyed by the joint commission of the United States and Illinois. Your committee assumes that by so doing the Convention decided to adopt the line thus fixed. The word “west” is changed to “westerly” since that change accords with the facts when the surveyed line is adopted. The word “down” is changed to “southerly” in describing the line in the Mississippi River since that change more directly describes the direction to be followed. In describing the boundary on the north bank of the Ohio River it is unnecessary to use the word “up” since the words “to the place of be¬ ginning'* completely express the meaning intended. In describing the boundary line where it has been fixed bv rivers your committee has been careful to observe strictly the phraseology of the Enabling Act. It has been your committee’s assumption that the Enabling Act operated as a grant from the Federal Government to the State of Illinois and the descriptive words of the grant have been care¬ fully observed. It should be noted, however, that the word "middle where it appears in the reference draft in connection with the W abash River did not appear in the Constitution of 1870 or in any prior Con¬ stitution, or in the Enabling Act itself. This word was inserted by the Committee of the Whole. After careful consideration your committee has retained the word “middle” for that word has been used in prior Constitutions and in the Enabling Act in describing the waters of Lake Michigan and in describing the line in the Mississippi River. Further¬ more, the word “middle" has been defined by the Supreme ( ourt of the United States in a way that makes its use here proper. The court in that case was considering the precise phrase "middle of the Mississippi Rivers” as used in the Constitution of this State. (Iowa v. Illinois. 14< U. S., p 1). In conclusion it may be said that if the Convention should decide to retain the article on boundaries, the draft submitted h} } our com- 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 477 mittee is intended to be precisely in accordance with the boundaries of the State as fixed by the Enabling Act of Congress and by the surveys authorized by the General Assembly of the State.

Memorandum from Committee on Phraseology and Style, Accom¬ panying Report on Proposal No. 364, Being a Proposal Entitled “Corporations”. Section 1 . The phrase “bv special laws” modifies the verb “cre¬ ated'’ and appears to modify the verb “extended, changed, or amended,” though this is apparnent only from the context. The phrase is in the wrong place in the sentence to modify all of these verbs. The word ‘Those" in the second line appears to be a demonstrative pronoun but it is not clear to what it refers. Apparently the word “corporations’ is to be supplied but this is an unhappy addition because it excepts plural “corporations" from the singular ‘‘no corporation”. The phrase “charitable, educational, penal or reformatory purposes’* is vague. This phrase is in the Constitution of eleven states but it has had slight construction. The Supreme Court of Idaho had said that the special charter of a school district might be amended under a similar section. (Howard v. Indian School District. 17 Idaho a37 .) 480 JOURNAL OF THE [Jan. 31. The Supreme Court of Colorado has held that the Legislature might pass a special Act incorporating the City of Denver under this section. (Carpenter v. People , 8 Colo. 116). Inasmuch as the Supreme Court of Illinois has said that this section has no application to municipal corporations, these decisions are apparently not in point in this State, (i Owners of Lands v. People, 113 Ill. 296, 1885.) In view of the fact, however, that this phrase is in the Constitution of so many states it is likely in the course of time to acquire a construction and your com¬ mittee does not recommend its omission. The phrase "under the patronage and control of the State" is equally vague but it has been adopted by other States and in view of the likelihood of its being judicially construed, your committee does not recommend its omission. Your committee thinks that it is not necessary to command the General Assembly to provide for incorporation by general law after that body has been forbidden to grant corporate powers by special law. For the reasons given and to economize words your committee has redrafted the section in the form appearing above. Section 2. The reference draft is ambiguous because it is not clear whether or not it is self-executing. The section confuses mandates to the General Assembly with self-executing provisions. The first sentence commences "The General Asembly shall provide” and ends “and such directors shall not be elected in any other manner”. The second sen¬ tence begins "provision may be made” and likewise ends with what is apparently a self-executing mandate. The Supreme Court has held that the provision as it exists in the Constitution of 1870 is self-ex¬ ecuting. (.Durkee v. People , 155 Ill. 354, 1895.) Your committee believes that the Convention intended the section to be effective without legislation and accordingly has so phrased it. The words "and managers” after the word "directors” have been omitted as unnecessary. The word "directors” is a term well known to the law and includes the members of the managing body whether called trustees, managers or by any other name. The reference draft in providing that "every certificate of stock shall show on its face its voting or non-voting character” introduces a new and technical requirement into the law of corporations. It does not appear what the effect would be if the certificate of stock failed to contain this recital. Thus a court might hold that such a certificate was void or it might be held that the only effect was that the stockholder was entitled to vote. If the certificate be held void it does not appear what the remedies of the stockholders or subscribers would be. In addition, this clause is objectionable because it contains no pro¬ vision for preferred stock in the usual form which has 'soting powei only upon a failure to pay dividends. Your committee believes that the Convention intended to premit such stock to be voted when dividends due on it are not paid and further intended to authorize the holder of such stock, when voting, to cumulate his votes. To meet ^ these ob¬ jections your committee has condensed this phrase to read excluding shares of restricted or no voting power the certificates for which show 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 481 them not entitled then to be voted”. Under this phraseology the only stock which may not be voted at a particular election is that stock which, under the terms of its certificates, is not entitled to be voted at that election. The clause^ or to cumulate said shares and give one candidate as many votes as the number of directors multiplied by the number of his shares of stock shall equal, or to distribute them on the same principle among as many candidates as he shall think fit” is clumsy and verbose. Your committee thinks this clause is more succinctly rendered by the words “may cumulate his votes for one candidate or distribute them among several”. Section 3. This section of the reference draft is a revised combi¬ nation of sections 5 and 7 of Article 11 of the Constitution of 1870. The first sentence is taken from section 5 and the last is suggested by section 7. Section 7 of the Constitution of 1870 does not forbid banks of issue but forbids the suspension of specie payments bv banks of issue. Since 1866 the issuance of bank notes and bills of credit by banks other than national banks has been effectively prohibited by a 10 per cent Federal tax. This was known to the framers of the Constitution of 1870 and section 7 was inserted to prevent the suspension of specie pay¬ ment if the Federal statute should ever become inoperative. (Debates 1870, pp. 1678-85.) This Convention has taken the further step of prohibiting the creation of banks of issue. Your committee has shortened the phrase “corporation, joint stock company, or association for banking purposes” to read “banking busi¬ ness.” The latter phrase includes a bank operated by an individual as well as one operated by a corporation, joint stock company or associa¬ tion. Your committee assumes that it was intended to include within the purview of the section all classes of banks. “Bank of issue” is used as equivalent to “banks of money issue”. The phrase “authorized or created” appears tautologous and the latter verb has been stricken. in the interest of brevitv your committee has rearranged the section. Section 4. This section is similar to section 6 of article 11 of the present Constitution. The Supreme Court has held that the individual liability provided for in this section can not be enforced for the benefit of all the creditors by a receiver appointed by a court. (Golden v. Cer- vanJm; 278 111 . 409, 1917). The Convention has inserted the last sen¬ tence of the reference draft with the intention to repeal the rule thus laid down. Your committee understands that in making this addition thg Convention did not intend to deprive the first portion of the section of its self-executing effect, i. e. the Convention intended that until the General Assembly acts each creditor may proceed against any stock¬ holder as under the Constitution of 1870. The word “bank” has been used by your committee as the equiva¬ lent of the phrase “corporation organized for banking purposes". The words “over and above the amount of stock held by such stock¬ holder” allude to the liability to the creditors of a corporation of those —31 C J 482 JOURNAL OR THE [Jan. 31, stockholders who have not paid in the full par value of their stock. These words at one time led the Supreme Court into stating that each stockholder was liable to each creditor for twice the par value of his stock (Du gee v. Swigert, 127 111. 494, 1889), but the court later said that this expression was inadvertent. (Golden v. Cervanka, 278 111. 409, 1917). Your committee has used the phrase “in addition to any liability for his stock 5 ' as expressing more aptly the idea intended to be conveyed by these words. Your committee has rephrased the section to avoid verbosity and state the intention more directly. Section 5. Prior to 1870 the Supreme Court of Illinois had held that the rolling stock of railroads constituted real property at least for the purposes of railroad mortgages. (Palmer v. Forbes, 23 Ill. 301, 1800; Hunt v. Bullock > 23 Ill. 320, I860; Titus v. Mabee, 25 Ill. 257, 1861). This section was inserted as section 10 of Article 11 in 1870 to change this rule. It is obvious that the section, if it achieved its object, would work a great hardship upon the mortgagee since it would require his mortgage to be executed in the form of a chattel mortgage and re-executed every two years in accordance with the Illinois statute. The mortgagee would be constantly compelled to reclaim his property after levy and execution sale. It appears that there are no decisions of the Supreme Court of Illinois construing this section. The Supreme Court of the United States has construed it, however, not to require the execution of a railroad mortgage in the form of a chattel mortgage. The Supreme Court thus in effect overrules the section. (Hammock v. Loan and Trust Company, 105 U. S. 77.) Obiviously it is useless to define rolling stock as personal property unless the definition is made effective. Your committee has, therefore, omitted this portion of the section. Your committee has changed the words “execution and sale" to “execution sale." The latter phrase more exactly expresses the meaning intended. After it has been stated that rolling stock is subject to execution sale, it is needless to state that the General Assembly shall not exempt it from such sale and this portion of the clause has, therefore, been omitted. Section 6. This section is similar to the second separate section of the Constitution of 1870. That section prohibits public aid to rail¬ roads or private corporations. Section 9 of Article 9 of the Constitution of 1870 has a similar effect because it prohibits the imposition of taxes by municipalities ex¬ cept for corporate purposes and a gift to a private corporation is smn- erally not for a corporate purpose. (Mather v. City of Ottawa, 114 ill. 659, 1885). It will be noted that section 20 of Article 4 of the present Constitution has a similar object. The term “railroads and private corporations" has been changed to read “any private enterprise or private corporation including rail¬ roads 75 because your committee thought that it was not the intention of the Convention to impliedly authorize public aid to private enterprises 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. •183 which were conducted in some other than corporate form. The 1 e-ar¬ rangement of these words is to avoid the application of the rule of eiusdem generis. The section seems to your committee illogical and discursive and it has therefore been shortened to read as above set forth. Section 7. This section is an example of weakening the force of a prohibition by multiplying words. (See llbert, “Mechanics of Law Making;’ p. 117). .... The effect of the words “no contract, obligation or liability what¬ ever, of the Illinois Central Railroad Company to pay any money into the State Treasury, nor any lien of the State upon or right to tax prop¬ erty of said company in acordance with the provisions of the charter of said company, approved February tenth, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty-one” may be rendered by the words “no right of the State under the charter of the Illinois Central Railroad Company.” Similarly the verbs “shall evere be released, suspended, modified, altered or in any manner diminished or impaired” are tautologous and may be shortened to read “shall never be surrendered”. The reference draft provides that funds received from the Illinois Central Railroad Company shall be used (1) in payments of the State debt; (2) in payment of the ordinary and contingent expenses of the State Government. Your committee believes that it was the intention of the Convention merely to provide that the funds should be expended for State purposes rather than local purposes and that it was not the intention of the Convention to name any particular State purpose to which the funds should be applied. Your committee has, therefore, condensed this provision to the single phrase “for State purposes”. Sections 8 and 9 Combined. Section 8 is the same as section 12 of Article 11 of the Constitution of 1870. The Supreme Court has said that railroads are public highways merely to the extent that all persons have an equal right upon them for travel and for the carriage of their goods and that the railroads are subject to control by govern¬ mental agencies so far as their relations with the public are concerned. (T. P. & IF. Ry. Co. v. Pence, 68 Ill. 524, 18-73; Lord v. City of Chicago, 274 Ill. 313, 1916). Your committee has therefore omitted the ambigu¬ ous term “public highways” and has combined the two clauses of the first sentence of section 8 to read “everyone shall have the equal right to have his person and property carried on railroads.” The second sentence has been rephrased to read “under reasonable maximum rates and regu¬ lations as fixed by law.” Section 9 is the same as section 15 of Article 11 of the Constitution of 1870. The words “the General Assembly shall pass laws to correct abuses and prevent unjust discrimination and extortion” have been re¬ vised to read the “General Asembly shall prevent extortion and unjust discrimination”. The section has been further revised to make its form briefer and more logical. In making the changes in the section your committee has had no intention to change its meaning. 484 JOURNAL OF THE £ Jill. 31, The foregoing reports numbered 4, 5 and 6 were ordered printed and the proposals, contained therein, placed on the order of second reading.

Pending a call of the roll, Mr. Quinn offered the following amend¬ ment and moved its adoption: Amend Section 7 of Article 4 by striking out the last paragraph of such section and inserting the following: The General Assembly shall provide by appropriate legislation, as to counties entitled only to two members, in the House of Representatives, that both of such members may not be elected from the same political party, or group of petitioners or nominators, and as to counties entitled to only three or four members, in the House of Representatives, that no more than two of such members may be elected from the same political party or group of petitioners or nominators, and that in counties entitled only to five mem¬ bers, in the House of Representatives, no more than three of such members may be elected from the same political party or group of petitioners or nominators, and in counties entitled to more than five members, in the House of Representatives, such counties shall be divided into that number of legislative districts as may equal in number one-third of all the members, such*county may be entitled to have in the House of Representatives, and by appropriate legislation it shall be provided that no more than two mem¬ bers from any such district may be elected from the same political party or group of petitioners or nominators. If in forming such legislative districts, to provide for three members from each thereof, such county would be entitled to one or two additional members of the General Assembly, by reason of its population, then and in such event a district shall be formed from which less than three members may be elected, no more than one of whom may be elected from the same political party or group of. petitioners or nominators. 486 JOURNAL OF THE [Feb. 1, The Legislature shall also provide that no political party or group of petitioners or nominators in any county or district shall be allowed to make any such nominations unless it shall nominate as many candidates as the district for which such nominations are made is entitled to elect to the House of Representatives.

The pending question at the hour of adjournment on February 2d, being the consideration of section 6, of Proposal No. 366, the same was again taken up. Pending discussion, Mr. Cutting, rose to a question of personal privilege and offered the following protest, which was received and ordered incorporated in the Journal of the Convention, to-wit: On February 3d there appeared in the daily newspapers a statement purporting to have been prepared by Mr. F. Scott McBride, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois, and reading in part as follows: “The Anti-Saloon League is just beginning to fight in the Constitutional Convention.” “The wets and other doubtful interests now have forced us to go into the open in this fight in behalf of good government. A big majority of the members of the Constitutional Convention—many of them from Cook County —have been elected with the aid and support of the Anti-Saloon League, but these special interests have whipped all of the Cook County men into line in opposition to the county representation plan.” “If the limitation in both Houses is defeated, it will mean that the wets and other doubtful interests of the State of Illinois have written for the people the draft of the new Constitution.” “Better a thousand times have no new Constitution than one that will put the State of Illinois on its knees before the corrupt interests. The methods used by these same forces to defeat county representation are an example of what would happen to the State if a majority were given in either House.” With sincere regret that Mr. McBride should assume to issue so in¬ temperate and unwarranted a statement on behalf of a League with whose true purpose and proper function we are in hearty sympathy, the under¬ signed members of the Constitutional Convention from Cook County, elected with the approval of the Anti-Saloon League (although, of course, unpledged as to any specific action) are constrained, in justice to our colleagues in the Convention and to the State itself, to ask as a matter of personal privilege, that this statement and protest be spread upon the records of tins Convention. As representing our constituencies (both local and State-wide) we have insisted—differing from many in our own county, who have thought that if possible there should be no limitation upon our representation—that the House of Representatives should be a popular house, and have been unwilling to sacrifice the principle of the rule of the majority to any special interest whatever. This matter has to do entirely with the organization of the General Assembly, which controls all matters of legislation and not alone those relating to the liquor traffic. 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 489 What does Mr. McBride mean by the phrase, “just beginning to fight in the Constitutional Convention”, and by “going into the open in this fight”? Does he mean that he is going to use the funds contributed to the Anti- Saloon League for the purpose of securing enforcement of the prohibition laws, in a campaign to defeat the new Constitution at the polls, if it does not contain county representation and does not limit Cook County in both branches of the General Assembly? Does he mean that he is going to use these funds, thus contributed, in an effort to defeat for office men, known to be “drys” and staunch champions of moral legislation, who may happen to be candidates for public office, merely because they have disagreed with his personal views on this question of limiting representation? When he says, “better a thousand times have no new Constitution, etc.,” does he signify, not only that Anti-Saloon funds will be diverted from the vital and desirable purpose of law enforcement for which they were given, but also that he will favor and urge a continued violation of the present Constitution (which will remain in force, if the new document is defeated) in the matter of legislative apportionment? We protest that our demands for enforcement of the Federal Constitution would be weakened, should our natural allies thus demand simultaneously a violation of the State Con¬ stitution. Does Mr. McBride seriously suggest that we, or any other members of this Convention, who had Anti-Saloon League endorsement have been sub¬ ject to “w'et” influences in this matter? What are the “other doubtful interests” to which he refers in the same connection? Do they include, the Chicago Bar Association, the City Club, the Citizens’ Association, the Chicago Woman’s Club, the Woman’s City Club, the Chicago Rotary Club, the Chicago Association of Commerce and the many other civic organizations, which have disagreed with Mr. McBride? Do they include, the Rev. Herbert L. Willett, formerly President of the Chicago Church Federation, now Vice-Chairman of the Citizens’ Committee for Pro¬ portional Representation; numerous other ministers of the gospel, and the Presbytery of Chicago—all of these having publicly taken an issue with Mr. McBride’s theories of representation? Mr. McBride’s grievance seems to be particularly directed to the Cook County delegates who received the aid and support of the Anti-Saloon League, and yet. a large number of the delegates representing down-State constituencies were opposed to the plan which he favors and were without the embarrassment which any delegate from Cook County would have in voting away political rights heretofore always legally in the possession of his own constituents. The plain implication of this statement is that the “big majority of the members of the Convention” who received the support of the League or its members at the election, owe a debt which can be satisfied only by a surrender of their judgments with respect to the most important measure before the Convention, to-wit: the one involving the fundamental question of political equality. We respectfully submit that the “big majority of the members of the Convention” whether from Cook County or from down-State and whether supported by Mr. McBride or not, are under no obligation to surrender their judgments in advance to any person or organization, and that the assump¬ tion that they are under such an obligation is an assertion of the right to boss the Convention, and ought to be recognized as such. And if bossism is a vice of our political life, it has no exception which would permit the Anti-Saloon League to practice it, especially in a field so far removed from its proper sphere as this is recognized to be, both by lay and clerical sup¬ porters of the Anti-Saloon League’s cause. We therefore, most earnestly protest, in justice to our colleagues in the Convention and their disinterested efforts for the public good, against this threat of domination by an outside influence. 400 JOURNAL OF THE [Feb. 7 , We specifically deny each and all of Mr. McBride’s implied charges and insinuations, knowing them to be untrue as to ourselves and believing them to be just as untrue of every other member of this Convention.

The territory now constituting the County of Cook shall be divided by the General Assembly into nineteen (19) senatorial districts and the number of such voters in that territory shall be divided by the number nineteen (19) and the quotient shall be the ratio of representation in the Senate for that territory. 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 491 The territory now constituting the remainder of the State shall be divided by the General Assembly into thirty-eight (38) senatorial districts and the number of such voters in that territory shall be divided by the number thirty-eight (38) and the quotient shall be the ratio of representa¬ tion in the Senate for that territory. When a county contains two (2) or more ratios of its territory it shall be divided by the General Assembly into as many senatorial districts as- it has such ratios. Districts in counties so divided shall be bounded by precinct or ward lines, or both, all other senatorial districts shall be bounded by county lines. All senatorial districts shall be formed of compact and contiguous terri¬ tory and the districts in each territory shall contain as nearly as practicable an equal number of such voters, but in no case less than four-fifths (%) of the ratio for that territory. Senators shall be so elected that the term of those now in office shall not be disturbed. Senators shall be divided into two classes so that one-half as nearly as practicable shall be chosen biennially.

Pending consideration, Mr. Quinn offered the following amendment to the substitute, and moved its adoption: . ^ le substitute by striking out all of the same after the voids Section V 3 and inserting the following: Amendment No. 1. At the same time that the senatorial apportionment is made the State shall be apportioned into fifty-one representative districts, each to contain, as nearly as practicable that number of voters, as may be equal to the total number of votes divided by fifty-one cast for the office of Governor at the last regular election at which a Governor was elected previous to the time of such apportionment. From each of such districts three members shall be elected to the House of Representatives for the term of two years. Such districts shall be formed of compact and contiguous territory bounded by county lines, where the whole of one or more counties form such a district and by ward or precinct lines where one county shall contain more than one such district.

In Committee of the Whole some of the questions and propositions were modified and considered by the committee in modified form.

Section 1. The power of taxation shall never be surrendered, suspended -or contracted away. All taxes shall be levied and collected under general law and for public purposes only. Section 2. The General Assembly shall provide for the levy of taxes upon property by valuation so that every person or corporation shall pay a tax in proportion to the value of his, her or its property, such value to be ascertained by some person, or persons to be elected or appointed in such manner as the General Assembly shall direct and not otherwise. Section 3. In lieu of any tax by valuation thereon the General Assembly may provide a tax on all incomes derived from intangible property or any kind or class thereof. Such income tax shall be uniform and substantial and reasonably proportioned to the tax levied on property by valuation. There shall be no exemptions from such income tax except as provided in Section 8 of this Article. Section 4. Taxes may be levied also on incomes; if the income tax be graduated and progressive the highest rate shall not exceed three times the lowest rate. No person shall have an exemption or deduction for living expense of more than five hundred dollars from income derived from per¬ sonal service or any exemption from income derived from any other source. Taxes levied by valuation upon property in this State and paid shall be deducted from the tax on income derived therefrom by the person or cor¬ poration paying such property tax. Section 5. Taxes may also be levied on privileges, franchises and occu¬ pations uniform as to class. Section 6. The above specifications of objects and subjects of taxation shall not deprive the General Assembly of the power to require other objects or subjects to be taxed in such manner as may be consistent with the prin¬ ciples of taxation fixed in this Constitution. Section 7. Taxes on incomes shall be levied and collected only by the State but the revenue therefrom shall be distributed to the taxing bodies as the General Assembly shall prescribe. Section 8. The following classes of property may be relieved from taxa¬ tion by general law': (1) Public property; (2) household furniture used as 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 505 such up to five hundred dollars in value and (3) property and income used exclusively for (a) agricultural and horticultural societies, (b) incorporated societies of war veterans, (c) schools, (d) cemeteries not held or used for private profit, and (e) charitable or religious purposes, including parsonages owned and occupied as such.

Taff. The question being on the adoption of the report of the Special Committee. It was decided in the affirmative. And the report was placed before the Convention for its consider¬ ation in lieu of sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Report No. 11, of the Committee on Phraseology and Style. Mr. Fifer, from the Special Committee, presented the following individual report, for the information of the convention, to-wit: I find myself unable to agree with the majority of the Special Com¬ mittee appointed to consider and report on the Revenue Article of the Con,- stitution for the reason that the majority report of said committee makes no provision for the establishment of a tax rate to be levied on income from intangible property but leaves the General Assembly free to fix what¬ ever rate it may see fit. It is conceded that intagible property has escaped taxation for the past fifty years in violation of law, and, in my judgment, unless some limitation is placed upon the General Assembly respecting the tax rate on intangible property that species of property will in the future escape taxation under the forms of law. It has been said that this convention cannot fix a pro¬ portionate rate between tangible and intangible property that would be equitable and just; to this contention I cannot agree. The Kerrick and Coolley proposals both establish such relation. It is said, however, that both of these proposals in this regard allow the General Assembly no lati¬ tude and are too rigid. In answer to this objection I suggest a maximum and minimum rate could be placed on income from intangible property that will give the General Assembly sufficient latitude. In respect to the other matters covered by the majority report of the committee I have nothing to say in this minority report believing as I do that if the question to which I refer is once settled all other matters can be easily and quickly agreed to. I have prepared and herewith submit a proposal attached to this report which I believe will meet the requirements of the situation and respectfully ask its adoption. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) Joseph W. Fifer. Proposed Substitute for Sections 1 to 4 Inclusive, of Article 9, as Re¬ ported by the Committees on Phraseology and Style. The power of taxation shall never be surrendered, suspended or con¬ tracted away. All taxes shall be levied and collected under general law' and for public purposes only. The General Assembly shall provide for the levy of taxes upon property by valuation so that every person or corpora¬ tion shall pay a tax in proportion to the value of his or her or its property, such value to be ascertained by some person or persons to be elected or appointed in such manner as the General Assembly shall direct and not otherwise. Taxes may also be levied on privileges, franchises and occupa- 506 JOURNAL OF THE [Feb. 21, tions, uniform as to class. The above specifications of the objects and sub¬ jects of taxation shall not deprive the General Assembly of the power to require other objects and subjects to be taxed in such manner as may be consistent with the principles of taxation fixed in this constitution. In lieu of any tax upon intangible property in proportion to its value, the General Assembly may provide for a tax on all income derived from, intangible property, in which case, if the tax be not graduated and progres¬ sive, the rate of taxation shall be the same on all incomes derived from intangible property and shall be not less than twelve nor more than sixteen times as great as the rate of taxation on tangible property. Provision may be made for a graduated and progressive income tax, in which case the lowest rate shall not be less than ten nor more than fourteen times the rate on tangible property. The General Assembly shall also provide for a tax on all income derived from sources other than tangible and intangible property, in which case the rate of taxation shall be the same as the rate of taxation on intangible property. Income shall be assessed for taxation in the same proportion to its value as tangible property is assessed for taxation. In addition to such other exemptions as may be authorized in this Article of the Constitution, the General Assembly may provide by general law r for an exemption from taxation of income, and from taxation of prop¬ erty in proportion to its value, in any amount not in excess of $500, provided such exemption shall be uniform as to both such classes. Taxes on income shall be levied and collected only by the State; and the proceeds thereof in each county shall be apportioned between the State, the county, and all taxing authorities within the county in the same ratio as the proceeds of taxes on real estate in such county are apportioned. (N. D.—This provision can be conveniently divided into tw 7 o or more sections if such division be deemed advisable.) Pending discussion, at the hour of 5 :25 o'clock p. m., Mr. Lindly moved that the convention do now adjourn until 10:00 o'clock a. m., tomorrow.

Such consolidation shall, as regards each of said districts, be submitted as a separate proposition to the voters of the entire district and shall not become effective unless the vote in its favor shall be cast by a majority of the voters of the dis¬ trict as well as by a majority of the city, voting upon the question. The charter shall prescribe the manner and fix the time of submitting such proposition to a vote. If such prop¬ osition shall fail to be approved at any election, it may thereafter be re¬ submitted from time to time in such manner as the charter may prescribe. It shall be the duty of all election officials responsible for conducting elections within either of said dis¬ tricts or any part thereof, to submit such proposition to the voters thereof in accordance with the provisions of the charter.

Section 12. Tax Rate After Con¬ solidation. After consolidation in whole or in part, and until a new tax ■ rate shall have been established by law, the city may levy, in addi¬ tion to the annual general tax on the property then authorized to be levied, an annual tax equal to the amount of the taxes caused to be ex¬ tended upon the collector’s warrants in the year last preceding the con¬ solidation by the taxing authorities so consolidated with the city. Section 13. Park Consolidation Act Preserved. The foregoing provisions concerning consolidation shall not affect the right of the city, acting through the city council, or other¬ wise, to avail itself of the provisions of an Act entitled ‘ An Act to consoli¬ date in the government of the City of Chicago the powers and functions new vested in local governments and authorities within the territory of said city and to make provision con¬ cerning the same,” approved June 23th, 1915, or any amendment thereof.

The city’s proportion¬ ate share of the indebtedness of the County of Cook and of other munici¬ pal corporations herein named shall bear the same ratio of the entire in¬ debtedness thereof as the value of the taxable property of such munici¬ pal corporations within the city bears to the value of the entire taxable property of such municipal corpora¬ tions as ascertained by the last as¬ sessment for State and county pur¬ poses.

In computing such aggregate amount there shall be included the existing indebted¬ ness of the city, and of all munic¬ ipal corporations within the city, and also the city’s proportionate share (determined according to valu¬ ation of taxable property) of the existing indebtedness of all munic¬ ipal corporations partly within and partly without the city.

Your committee, under date of September 6, 1921, submitted a report on this article, but under date of January 3, 1922, that report was recommitted by the Convention to this committee. Your committee has again carefully studied and revised the proposal as adopted in Com¬ mittee of the Whole and herewith submits a revision of the article which has been worked out with the assistance and co-operation of the chair¬ man of the Committee on Chicago and Cook County and which has his approval. At the suggestion of the chairman of the Committee on Chicago and Cook County there is submitted herewith an alternative suggestion for section 15. This alternative suggestion contains certain substantive 564 JOURNAL OF THE [Mar. 9, changes made necessary by what seem to be substantial objections to the section in its present form. This section is largely taken from section 34 of Article IA of the Constitution of 1870, but certain changes were made by the Committee of the Whole in the provision as found in the present Constitution. For example, in the draft of the Committee of the Whole the provisions of the section come into operation after one con¬ solidation has taken effect, while in the present Constitution the section does not come into effect until two consolidations have taken effect. The real purposes of this section, when it is analyzed, seem to be three-fold. (1) It is intended to give the City of Chicago (after one consolidation has been effected) a debt limit based on 5 per cent of the full' value of the taxable property therein as contrasted with the debt limit for other municipal corporations fixed by the Revenue Article at 5 per cent of the assessed value. In other words, when the section comes into effect—and as long as under the law the assessed value of property is fixed at one-half the full value—the City of Chicago would have twice the debt limit which it would have under the Revenue Article. (2) The section, however, is intended to prevent “overlapping” of municipal corporations in such a way as to eventually make the actual debt limit of the territory within the City of Chicago considerably above 5 per cent of the full value of the taxable property therein. (3) The section is in¬ tended to hasten and encourage the consolidation of the various taxing bodies now found within the city by making the increased debt limit conditional upon the consolidation of one or more of such bodies. An analysis of the section as it is found in the present Constitution —and as it is found in the draft of the Committee of the Whole—will show that these purposes are not secured to the extent desired. In the first place, the City of Chicago has not succeeded in consolidating any of the local governments intended to be consolidated, and in fact has not attempted to consolidate any of them, although the present provision has been in the Constitution since 1904. In the second j^lace, under the present Constitution, and under the draft of the Committee of the Whole, it is possible for the indebtedness of the territory within the City of Chicago to be raised to an aggregate which is very much in excess of 5 per cent of the full value of the taxable property therein. This is due to the fact that by “overlapping” of the Sanitary District, the Forest Preserve District and various smaller municipal corporations, each with a debt limit under the Constitution up to 5 per cent of the assessed ^ ^ e ccumulated an aggregate debt for the territory within the cit} T , (it has been estimated) of 25 per cent of the full value of the taxable property within the city limits. Of course legislative action would be required before that result could be accomplished, but it should be remembered that the purpose of this section is after all a limitation on the General Assembly. For these and other reasons this section should be carefullv reconsidered. */ Tour committee has made no substantive changes in any part of the article; the purpose of your committee being simply to shorten and clarify the language used. Attention should be called to the fact that in section 4 your committee has inserted the word “pledge,” because it 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 565 was the understanding of your committee that the Convention intended to give full power to the City of Chicago over the public utilities in question, including the power to mortgage such property. If this is not the intention of the Convention the word “pledge” should be stricken out. Ihe report of the committee was ordered printed and the proposal placed on the order of second reading. At the hour of 11:45 o’clock a. m., Mr. Green moved that the Convention do now adjourn until Tuesday, March 14, 1922, at 10:00 oAlock a. m. The motion prevailed.

This was an admirable system fnThe eariyXaand^s 840 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 12, long as the community remained homogeneous, with little diversity in prop¬ erty rights and with small accumulations of intangible property. It is the experience, however, of all governments that as population increases and society becomes more complex, the uniform property tax becomes less and less efficient as a means of raising revenue, and more and more inequitable in its distribution of burdens upon the people. As long as most men are of nearly equal wealth and all property consists either of land or personal property of large bulk that cannot be easily concealed, the uniform property tax is both fair and efficient, but as the forms of property multiply and especially as intangible property increases both in amount and in diversity of kind, the uniform property tax becomes less and less adapted to the needs of society. The farm or lot and the houses thereon cannot escape the assessor. So too it is difficult for live stock to be concealed. But diamonds are not paraded on the day when the assessor appears and notes, mortgages, bank balances, bonds and shares of stock are still more fugitive. Because some conceal the property which is easily hidden and so escape taxation, it becomes necessary to raise the rate upon the property which remains visible. The increased rate adds to the temptation to conceal, with the result that still more property disappears from the tax lists and this again results in a higher rate. This interplay of increasing rate and disappearing personal property has resulted in inordinately high rates of taxation upon those forms of property which cannot be concealed, namely, real estate, and tangible personal property. The result has been that the rate of taxation has reached a point where it is recognized by all, even the taxing authorities themselves, that if taxes be levied, as contemplated by law, upon intangible property, a large proportion and, in some instances, all, of the income derived therefrom would be confiscated by the State. The result of this has been that there has grown up in some parts of the State a system of taxation wholly outside the law. Assessors and taxing authorities generally do not expect the owners of intangible property to report all of their holdings, as the law theoretically requires, but have adopted an extra-legal method and seek to make some fair approximation of the relative wealth of the indi¬ vidual taxpayer as compared with his neighbors and asses him accordingly. Any system of taxation which practically forces the taxing authorities to adopt a system of their own, one not contemplated by law, is as vicious as can be because, in effect, it vests in the taxing authorities an unrestrained discretion to discriminate among the taxpayers and reward their friends and punish their enemies. What was therefore originally an admirable system of taxation and still appears theoretically fair has become the means of gross injustice and the potential source of shocking corruption. The experience of all civilized states in which society has become com¬ plex has persuaded students of the subject that only through a diversified system of taxation can revenue in adequate amounts for the needs of the State be raised with a fair distribution of the burden of taxation. In a self-governing community, every citizen must bear his share of the responsi¬ bility of Government. Whatever the system of taxation may be, every man, woman and child in the community pays some tax, whether or not they know it. The tax upon the tenement house is recouped by the owner from his tenants and the tax upon the store building is repaid to the owner by his tenant who must make out of his sales of goods enough to compensate him for the additional rent paid and so the tax upon the store building is eventu¬ ally paid'by those who buy the shopkeeper’s goods. The citizen, however, who thus pays his tax indirectly is ordinarilly not aware that he pays a tax and is therefore not vigilent in watching and checking the expenditures of government. The man who pays a tax directly is at once informed of his interests in the expenses of government and his cooperation is promptly enlisted in restraining unnecessary and extravagant expenditure. It is esti¬ mated that out of the more than three million people in the County of Cook, less than one hundred and fifty thousand directly pay any personal property tax and there are only about three hundred thousand who pay taxes upon real property. The total number of direct taxpayers in Cook county probably does not exceed three hundred and fifty thousand. Of course, each one of the more than three million people pays taxes indirectly. A system which 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 841 permits nine-tenths of the people to vote taxes paid directly by one-tenth is an encouragement to thriftless government and does not serve to impress upon the individual citizen the responsibilities which must be felt by every citizen if self-government is to endure. It is not the function of a Constitution to prescribe the details of tax¬ ation. This must rest with the legislative department of the government. With all the experience of the human race it must be confessed that there is no recognized science of taxation. No one call tell in advance just what will be the result of a given tax measure either in its capacity to raisd revenue or in its capacity equally to distribute burdens. All that the Con¬ stitution can do is to put those limitations upon the power of the General Assembly which will preclude the more glaring inequalities and remove from the legislators the temptation to favor one class as against another. The present Constitution limits the power of the legislature practically to providing for only one kind of tax. It is important to enlarge the power of the legislature to diversify taxes so that instead of the revenue being all raised by taxes upon real estate and the more obvious forms of personal property, the burden shall be more equitably distributed and the number of those who shall consciously pay taxes shall be recruited from the number of those who, under the present system, pay taxes only unconsciously. In several states, of recent years, an attempt to accomplish this end has been made by permitting the legislature to classify property, imposing diff¬ erent rates of taxation upon different classes of property. These laws are still in the experimental stage and it was thought by the Convention not wise to permit experiments along these lines which might easily tend to¬ wards discrimination in favor of one class of taxpayer as against another. ^ * ncome . t ax ’ as a measure for raising revenue, distributing the burden of taxation more equitably and relieving real estate and tangible personal property, is no longer in the field of experiment. Income tax laws are upon the statute books of more than a dozen states and the reports from those states indicate that they have been successful in raising revenue in an equitable manner without disturbing business conditions or causing economic distress. Among the states where income tax laws are in successful oper¬ ation are New York, Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Realizing that the gross inequality in our present system of taxation arises from the ease with which intangible property escapes, we have provided that in lieu of tax by value upon this class of property, the General Assembly may, if it sees fit, tax the income derived from such property, but that if such a tax shall be imposed, it must be substantial and at a uniform rate. In other words, it may not be graduated or progressive. Realizing too the success with which the general income taxes have operated in all of the states in which they have been tried, we have also framed the new Constitution so that the General Assembly may, if it sees fit, impose a general income tax upon all incomes from whatever source derived. This tax may be graduated and progressive but in order to protect against gross inequality, especially in view of the heavy Federal income taxes, it is provided that the highest rate shall not exceed three times the lowest rate. And in order that the legislature may provide a workable system of income taxes without pressing too hard upon those who are at the margin of subsistence, it is provided that from the general income tax there may be exempted income derived from personal service of not to exceed $1,000 for the head of a family, plus $200 for each dependent child under the age of sixteen years, and not to exceed $500 for any other person. This it was thought would provide for reasonable exemptions and yet would make the income tax so widely distributed as to remove the temptation which otherwise might be present to raise the rates to a point that might be dis¬ astrous to the industry of the State. If a general income tax is imposed household furniture and the imple¬ ments of agriculture and labor may be exempted from taxes and, in order to avoid the injustice of double taxation, such deductions may be made as will compensate for taxes paid by valuation on the property from which the taxed income is derived. By these provisions it is hoped that the way has been opened to such taxes upon incomes as shall give all citizens the oppor- 842 JOURNAL OF THE [Sept. 12, tunity of contributing to the support of their State such reasonable amount as they can well afford and as good citizens they will be glad to pay. The new Constitution still provides, as did the old, that property, if taxed, shall all be taxed at the same rate, but it is hoped that by opening the dooi to the legislature for the enactment of a reasonable income tax law, a considerable part of the State’s revenue may be so raised, with a conse¬ quent relief of the burdens now resting upon real property and the more obvious kinds of personal property. By increasing the kinds of taxation, it is, of couise, not expected to increase the amount of revenue to be raised. The amount of revenue depends upon appropriations and the more people there are who consciously pay their taxes, the metre there will be who will exercise a restraint upon the legislature and local taxing bodies in making appi opriations. It is, therefore, to be expected that if the new Constitution is adopted, an opportunity will be afforded to the legislature more equitably to distribute the burdens of taxation and that there will at the same time be added a restraining influence upon extravagance. The Bill of Rights. „ F '°f most P art > the Bill of Rights has been allowed to remain as in the old Constitution but there are a few changes which experience has proved are desirable. Under the existing Constitution, a defendant charged with felony can not waive a jury and submit his cause to a judge. Experi¬ ence in other states has proved that there is no reason why a defendant, if he be so minded, may not waive a jury in cases other than capital and* permit himself to be tried by a judge. Accordingly, the new Constitution so permits. Heretofore, no one could be held to answer for a felony except upon indictment by the grand jury. In communities where grand juries are held only at intervals of several months, one arrested who cannot give bail is kept in jail a, waiting the action of the grand jury. This has frequently resulted in injustices to the innocent. In the larger communities there are many instances of crime where the proof is clear. In these cases it is a great waste of machinery to require first a preliminary hearing and then an inaictment and then a trial before a petit jury and yet, under the existing Constitution, there is no method by which the grand jury hearing can be avoided. Under the proposed Constitution, all felonies, save capital cases, may be prosecuted upon either indictment or information filed by either the Attorney General or the State’s attorney, but no such information shall be filed by the State’s attorney until after leave granted by the court upon a showing of probable cause. These changes will certainly result in simpli¬ fying criminal procedure and expediting prosecutions without the sacrifice of protection to the innocent. The new Constitution permits the General Assembly to make women eligible as jurors. It also permits the General Assembly to provide for juries of less than twelve in civil causes. This should result in saving much ex¬ pense and bring great relief to citizens by diminishing the amount of jury service required and no reason is perceived why litigants should not be as well satisfied with the verdicts of smaller juries as they have been with those of juries of twelve. One of the defects existing under the present Constitution, especially in the larger cities, is in the operation of that section which requires that every defendant “except for capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption great” shall be admitted to bail. Under this section old seasoned offenders readily obtain bail and are turned out upon the streets to renew their depredations while awaiting trial. Under the new Constitu¬ tion, the provision with reference to bail is the same as that in the Federal Constitution that “excessive bail shall not be required.” It will therefore be within the sound discretion of the judge to whom application for bail is made whether the accused shall be allowed his freedom pending trial. It is to be expected that this discretion will be exercised favorably in the cases of first offenders, but that bail will be denied to those whose past history indicates how their time will be employed if they are not confined.

The result of this is that Cook county is definitely limited to nineteen out of fifty-seven members of the Senate but will have the same proportionate representation in the House, based upon the number of voters, which other parts of the State have. With two-thirds of the Sen¬ ate composed of representatives of down State, Cook county could never force through legislation which was inimical to the interests of that part of the State outside of the County of Cook. On the other hand, as the people of Cook county will have their proportionate representation in the lower House, it is improbable that the people outside of Cook county will ever be able to force upon the people of that county legislation plainly inimical to their interests. Thus if there should arise a conflict of interest between the people of Cook county and the people of the rest of the State each will be protected against the other. In the adjustment recommended the Convention has followed the precedents set by other states. In every state in which a large proportion of the population resides in one political subdivision some limitation is imposed upon the representation in the legislature of that area. In order to avoid a continuance or repetition of the neglect of the General Assembly to reapportion the State periodically as ordered by the Constitu¬ tion it is provided that if the General Assembly shall fail to make any appor¬ tionment it shall be the duty of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the Auditor of Public Accounts to make the apportionment within ninety days after the adjournment of the regular session of the year designated for that purpose. The Judiciary. Notable changes are suggested in the organization and operation of the courts. Although more than one-half of the people of the State live, and more than one-half of the litigation which goes to the Supreme Court origin¬ ates, in the Seventh Judicial District, which includes Cook county, under the present Constitution that district elects only one member of the Supreme Court and the rest of the State, containing less than half of the population and furnishing less than one-half of the court’s business, elects six of the justices. It is proposed that this shall be changed so that the court shall consist of nine justices, three to be elected from the Seventh District, of whom not more than two shall come from the same county. The Supreme Court has for years been overburdened with the number of cases it has) had to pass upon and an increase in the number of justices should lighten the burden of each member of the court, and expedite its work. Under the previous Constitutions it has been the custom for the legis¬ lature to pass laws prescribing the practice, pleading and procedure in courts. This has long been recognized as of doubtful value. While the practice has perhaps not been inadequate in the less thickly settled communities, it has not lent itself to the expeditious dispatch of business in the larger cities and the result has been that the courts have been clogged and litigants have been sometimes so delayed in securing their rights that the delay has amounted to a denial of justice. Under the proposed Constitution, the Supreme Court will have the power to prescribe the rules of pleading, prac¬ tice and procedure and with its experience, passing, as it must, daily upon the records of the trials made in the lower courts, it should be best able to judge of the changes that can advantageously be made for the speedy and sure administration of justice. Indeed it is arguable that the making of laws by the General Assembly regulating the practice in courts is an invasion of the power of the courts and violative of the constitutional division of governmental powers into the three divisions of executive, legislative and judicial. It would seem doubt¬ ful if, consistently with this doctrine, the legislature can have more power or right to prescribe how the courts should function than the courts have to dictate how the legislature shall proceed about its business. An independent judiciary is the strongest bulwark of the individual’s liberty. No citizen can tell when the day may come when his all may depend upon the proper functioning of the courts and no citizen therefore can afford CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 845 ' 1922 .] mau e and dl man ent i^oiri e .“ lethod * by ,'y hich justice is administered between man and man.

Recognizing that the vesting of all jurisdiction in one court is in some measure experimental, we have provided that after five years from the adop¬ tion of the new Constitution, the General Assembly may divide the circuit into two courts subject to a referendum to the voters of Cook county By those who have made the most careful study of the workings of the courts in many jurisdictions, it is confidently believed that by vesting all of the judi¬ cial business of a large community like Cook county in one court, there will be a great saving of expense and energy and that the people’s business be- f°ie the courts will be transacted with greater dispatch and economy. % Executive Depabt^iext. The principal change suggested in the Executive Department is that a Treasurer shall be elected every four instead of every two years and shall be ineligible for re-election for four instead of two years. The required age of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor is increased from thirty to thirty- fi\ e } ears. There is also a provision requiring each officer of the Executive Department and the chief officer of each public institution to make a sworn semi-annual report to the Governor of all moneys received or disbursed and also, at least ten days before the beginning of the regular session of the General Assembly, to report the condition of his office to the Governor who shall transmit the reports to the General Assembly. The State Treasurer is required, as part of each semi-annual report, to show the daily balances of State funds in every bank and to accompany his report with a sworn statement of an executive officer in charge of each bank,- showing the payment of interest and other compensation made and to be made by reason of such deposit. The effect of this should be to insure that the State shall receive the benefit of all interest earned upon its de¬ posits. The State Auditor is also required to prescribe and supervise a uniform system of accounts for all county officers. This should give an added guarantee of the efficiency and honesty of county officers. Counties. The form of government of counties may be changed by law uniform as to class of counties, but such change shall become effective in a county only after approval by a majority of those voting on the question. This is a highly important provision relieving from the rigidity of constitutional man¬ date the government of the county and giving to the people of each county a fair measure of self determination. The sheriff is to be allowed to succeed himself, as he may not under present law. Each county (other than Cook) is to have an assessor, which should produce within the county an equality of taxation not now accomplished. Legislative Depabtmext. Some provisions regulating the procedure of the General Assembly which have been dictated by experience are incorporated in the new Con¬ stitution. For instance, when the two Houses have failed to agree on an appropriation bill and it has been referred to a Conference Committee, there has been opportunity to insert in the Conference Committee’s report items of appropriation not discussed in either House and to secure the passage of the Conference Committee’s report during the closing hours of the session. In this procedure there has been abundant room for ill-considered and un¬ wise appropriations. Accordingly, it is provided in the proposed new Con¬ stitution that no subject matter shall be considered in any Conference Com¬ mittee report on an appropriation bill unless such matter directly relates to matters of differences between the two Houses and has been specially re¬ ferred to the Conference Committee, nor shall the report of the Conference Committee be acted upon until it shall have been printed and put upon the 1922.1 COXSTITUTIOXAL COXVEXTIOX 847 H is considered. appropriations. s y desirable protection against unwise days after^ldjournmen/ofthe session'at'whTch 1 '^ 156 eff6Ct UntiI sixty the existing Constitution law« to 1 ™ ‘ 7 S1 ? n at wblcb was enacted.

After the city shall have issued bonds for such purpose, at least four months before any tax levied for the payment of principal and interest of the bonds becomes collectible, the city must deposit with the city treasurer out of the gross earnings of the utility, a sum equal in amount to such tax, which shall be used for the payment of the principal and interest and to the extent that such funds are so deposited, the tax shall not be collected. The city is further required, if it shall have acquired utilities pursuant to 'this section, to maintain such rates for service as will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest of the bonds issued for its acquisition and the cost and expense involved in or incidental to the ownership, operation and main¬ tenance thereof. Any taxpayer shall have the right to apply to the Circuit Court of Cook County to enforce these obligations. The purpose of these provisions, as may be clearly seen, is to permit the City of Chicago, if a majority of its citizens so desire, to acquire and operate transportation and water systems but only on condition that such rates shall be charged as shall make the utilities so acquired self-supporting. In other words, the city may not acquire a transportation system and furnish to its patrons service at less than cost and compel the citizens generally to hear the deficit through general taxation. The plan, it is believed, offers a sound and safe method by wffiich the people of Chicago may, if they desire it, construct any system of transportation or acquire any traction properties, and operate them or lease them for private operation, as they may elect, without imposing upon the taxpayers of the city the burden of paying for properties which have been unwisely bought or unsuccessfully operated. Other Revisions. Among the other changes which will be effected*are these: (1) In Cook county supervision of elections will not after 1925 rest with the county judge, but will be subject to some elective officer or officers. It is not consistent with the true functions of a judge that he should be burdened with the ad¬ ministration of the necessarily complicated election machinery. (2) Public money cannot be paid to sectarian institutions when public institutions are available and when it is paid it shall not exceed the cost of maintaining during their terms of commitment, neglected, defective, dependent or delin¬ quent persons committed by courts to agencies under public inspection. There is always danger in permitting public money to be paid to private institutions and this section w T ould seem adequately to protect both the wards of the State and the taxpayer. (3) Frequent elections are one of the burdens of citizenship, especially when polling places are far from residences. Ac¬ cordingly, it is provided that outside of the County of Cook all elections are to be held on one day in November. In the even years State and Federal officers will be elected and in the odd years the county and local officers. A frequent complaint against the existing Constitution has been its rigidity, the difficulty of amending it. It is of the nature of a Constitution that it should have a degree of permanence. It is not intended to voice transient opinions but to express the considered convictions of the people upon fundamental questions. It should not, therefore, be the subject of whim or caprice. On the other hand a Constitution is but the product of human beings, prone to err. There must, therefore, be some method by which it can be corrected without too great effort, nor should a small min¬ ority be allowed long to block the way of a determined and continuing majority to amend their form of government. The objections to the amend¬ ing clause of the present Constitution are justified and we have accordingly relaxed the provision by allowing amendments to be proposed by the Gen¬ eral Assembly to two articles, instead of only one, at the same session, and have changed the prohibition upon proposing an amendment to the same 1922.] CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 849 Hnn C inQ^ te ^ er <» 111611 0 ?

Resolved, That the thanks of this Convention should be and hereby are tendered to the Honorable Charles E. Woodward for his uniform courtesy, his unfailing fairness, and his distinguished ability as the presiding officer of this body. Through all the long and trying days and nights of our sittings his patience has never flagged and through the exacting hours of committee service his intelligent advice, has been ever helpful. We acknowledge that without his foresight, judgment and tact our task would have been far harder and perhaps impossible. He has won not only our admiration and respect but our affection as well. We therefore, direct that these imperfect words of appreciation be spread upon the Journal of this day’s proceedings JOURNAL OF THE 876 [Sept. 12, and an engrossed copy thereof be delivered to our President and friend, Charles E. Woodward. And the resolution was unanimously adopted b} r a rising vote. Mr. Barr moved that a vote of thanks be extended by the Conven¬ tion to its Secretary, B. H.

We deplore his going and here record our sense of loss, our appreciation of his ability and our sympathy with those who loved him. And the resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote. Mr. O’Brien moved that a copy of the foregoing resolution, suitably engrossed, be forwarded to the family by the Secretary. And the motion prevailed.
