Mr. CAMP. It seems to me to be a very strange proceeding—to adopt an article and then refer it to a committee. When you have adopted it you have made it a part of the Constitution. That is the reason why I drew the resolution as I did. Mr. PARSONS of... Thursday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. LAUDER. There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the exact meaning of the resolution offered by Mr. Camp yesterday. I desire that the resolution be reconsidered. My idea in voting for it yesterday was that it would expedite business and Idid... Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Motion for Mr. Camp's Resolution to be Laid Over Until Tuesday Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. NOBLE. This resolution has already been before this Convention once, and was then considered pretty thoroughly, and the motion to reconsider is simply to get in a small amendment. I don't see the necessity of delaying this matter till Monday, and... Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. WILLIAMS.[...] I will say that the resolution has been reconsidered and is now before the Convention. Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Motion to Postpone Consideration of Mr. Camp’s Resolution until Monday Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. ROLFE. I may be wrong, but it occurs to me that possibly many members of this Convention have in their minds the idea that action of the Committee of the Whole is action of this Convention. Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. ROLFE. I would suggest that the amendment be made to cover these points—that the article when considered in teh Committee of the Whole be first adopted only for the purpsoe of referring it to the Committee of Revision and Adjustment; that the... Thursday July 1889Committee: The Convention
The Chair ruled that the question to postpone to a day certain was not debatable, and the motion of Mr. Williams was then put and lost. Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention

Motion to Refer File No. 46 to the Committee on Revenue and Taxation Monday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. WALLACE. There seems to be an impression prevailing that this Committee on Revision have the authority and the power to take up the various articles and disturb the ideas that are there engrafted. I take it that the duty of the committee consists... Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. MOER. It seems to me that this resolution is useless, as the Committee on Revision and Adjustment must refer these articles back to the Convention, and certainly the Convention will take notice of any change. It seems to me that it is useless to... Friday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. RICHARDSON said: I rise in protest of the way these Files are handled by the committees. It appears that there have been several propositions or proposed articles handed in to the committees covering the same ground. For instance, the preamble or... Monday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. WILLIAMS. It seems to me that the remarks of the gentleman are fair. If the committee wishes to adopt a substitute for this article they can report the article back when they report the substitute. It seems to me that it is hardly proper to select... Monday July 1889Committee: The Convention

Motion that Articles Submitted to Committees Must Not be Reported Back Until the Committees Send their Full Report Monday July 1889Committee: The Convention

The motion carried. Monday July 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. MOER. I don't wish to offer any discourtesy to the gentlemen, but it seems to me that this would give a committee wonderful power. It simply allows a committee to say, to of all that is introduced, what shall go back, and we have no power to pass... Monday July 1889Committee: The Convention

Mr. JOHNSON. Would it not be well to strike out the figures “1889” and insert in lieu thereof “1890” in the fifth line? Mr. CARLAND. That would leave the Territorial Judges to serve till 1890.

Motion to Adopt Section 2 of File No. 59 Wednesday August 1889Committee: Committee of the Whole
The section was adopted. Wednesday August 1889Committee: Committee of the Whole
Mr. LAUDER. It seems to me that "Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever" is somewhat transposed. Why is it not put in the original way? It seems to me that if we are taking a quotation from Daniel Webster to be incorporated and made... Wednesday August 1889Committee: Committee of the Whole

Mr. SPALDING. My recollection is the same as that of the gentleman from Richland.

Mr. PARSONS of Morton.

Mr. MATHEWS. I am in favor of the amendment to make it "ten" years.

Mr. BARTLETT of Dickey. I hope this section will pass as it now stands. If you want to save the country from tramps and vagabonds, give them work to do while they are young.

Mr. SCOTT. I don't think it wise to incorporate this section in the Constitution. I don't think it wise to limit the age at which a child may being work.

Mr. WILLIAMS. I hope the motion of the gentleman from Dickey—Mr. FLEMINGTON—will prevail. I think boys of twelve years of age are able to do pretty well a man's work.

Mr. CAMP. It seems to me that the penalty imposed is very severe. It is going far beyond any tax law I ever read. I never knew of a man losing title to his land on his tax becoming delinquent.

Mr. PURCELL. There was some question as to whether or not a railroad company had the right to appeal under a section of a constitution similar to ours. Under section 144 as we now have it, we provide that the railroad companies and others known as... Thursday August 1889Committee: The Convention

Mr. CAMP. On behalf of the committee I would ask the gentleman from Cass what particular point is not covered. Mr. MILLER. I think the phraseology is better and more complete. The phrase “injure and destroy” makes a more important reservation for... Thursday August 1889Committee: The Convention

Mr. CLAPP. This matter of the school district system came before the committee and it was their idea, and the idea of the Convention that while the school district system might be the best, at some other time there might be some better method, and we... Thursday August 1889Committee: The Convention
Constitution of North Dakota 1889 (as Amended by the Convention): Article IX: Section 159 Thursday August 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. SPALDING. I was of the same opinion, but on looking along further and especially in section 147 I am not certain but that if the section in six were incorporated in article seven, it would require further amendments to prevent a conflict.

Mr. BARTLETT of Dickey. I am surprised at men coming in here and professing to be the friends of the poor man and making such a motion as this. He means all right; I know he is a friend of the poor man, but the idea of making a motion that will let... Thursday August 1889Committee: The Convention

A motion to lay Mr. MILLER'S amendment on the table was lost. Thursday August 1889Committee: The Convention
Mr. BARTLETT of Dickey. I am satisfied we are right and this section should be amended.

Mr. SPALDING. I have sat here and listened to gas and buncomb and demagoguery on all sides, on what was supposed to be in behalf of the poor man. But I would like to know what this fund is for?

Mr. ROLFE. We had this section right—the Committee on County and Township Organization, as we thought, and we worked over it a good deal in order to convey the idea that was intended, but the Convention did not think it was right, and they have made a...
