Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings and Debates of the Constitutional Convention of Idaho, 1889, Vol. 1 All the proceedings of the convention were reported stenographically at the time by a very competent re porter, wh'ose notes by order of the convention were filed with the secretary of the territory, but no provis ion had ever been made for transcribing and publishing them before the passage of the act referred to. It has seemed fitting to insert as prefatory matter the calls or proclamations of the territorial governors for the election of delegates to the convention. And the convening thereof, as these calls constituted the only official warrant for the holding of the convention, which met and performed its labors without either an enabling act of congress or any authorization from the territorial legislature. The call of Gov. E. A. Stevenson was dated April 2, 1889. Almost immediately thereafter Gov. Stevenson went out of office and was succeeded by Gov. Geo. L. Shoup, whose more elaborate proclamation, dated May 11, 1889, appears to have been in the nature of a confirmation of the act of his predecessor, as well as being designed to stimulate popular interest in the movement for statehood.

The question is upon the adoption of the amendment offered by the gentleman from Latah. (Vote), The noes seem to have it. (Cries of "Division." On a rising vote there were twenty-eight for and twenty-seven against). The CHAIR. The amendment is adopted. Mr. PIERCE. I desire to amend by inserting in line 2 after the words "United States," the words "of or over." The CHAIR. The first amendment now in order is that offered by Mr. Reid. SECRETARY reads: Strike out of line 4 "and until otherwise provided by the legislature." Mr. REID. I will state that the object of that amendment is to fix it in the constitution, and not leave it to the will of the legislature; if you leave those words in there "until otherwise provided by the legislature," the first legislature that meets may by the majority vote, disfranchise women so far as voting for school offices may be concerned. We have a statute, it is true, now, that allows them to vote at school elections,1 and also to hold the office of superintendent of public instruction. I think we had as well fix that in the constitution and have it understood, as to have it the creature and subject of the legislature, and therefore I move to strike out those words. Mr. GRAY. I am afraid that when those words are stricken out, they are restricted and can go no further than school elections. If the legislature at any time sees fit to allow women to vote upon all elections, I am i--Act of Feb. 21, 1879, allowed unmarried women who were taxpayers to vote at school tax elections.--Sess.
