Te the Editor of The Times-Democrat I herewith submit for the consideration of the members of the General Assembly and the people of the State a Joint resolution which I propose to Introduce during the next session of the Legislature.

During the extra session- of the Legislature in December, 1910, I dlscu.H.sed this proposition with quite a number of the Representatives and Senators, and the plan seemed to meet with their approval, but of course the bill coutd not be Introduced at that time. This amendment, if adopted, would have something of the effect of the referendum, while not the referendum. It would give the people and press of the State a fair opportunity to discuss all proposed legislation, and would give the members of the Legislature an opportunity to learn the views and wishes of the people on all matters. It would, in my opinion, be productive of better and more perfect laws; laws the meaning of which would be perfectly clear and simple, laws con-talng less defects, and laws free from ambiguities and faulty construction. It would also prevent any hurried or ilr-advtsed legislation or legtilatlon under the Influence of great political or moral excitement.

While it would make the sessions of the Legislature a little more expensive, I believe that the good accomplished would more than compensate the State for the additional expense. G. H. CLINTON. JOINT RESOLUTION.
