Report of the Committee on Federal Relations on Article XXII
MR. PRESIDENT:
Your Committee on Federal Relations, to which the proposition or resolution, presented by Mr. Boucher, relating to compact with the United States, was referred, would respectfully report that we have had the same under consideration and have decided to report herewith "An Ordinance irrevocable without the consent of the United States and the People of this State, relating to Religious Toleration, Public Lands, Taxation of Lands, Debts of the Territory of Dakota and Public Schools,” and would recommend the passage of said Ordinance.
Your committee would further report that we have had under consideration Article XXII of the Sioux Falls Constitution and find that the same is defective because it does not contain all the provisions required by the Omnibus Bill, and we would therefore recommend that the said Article XXII be stricken out of the Constitution. We would further report that the said Ordinance contains all the provisions of said Article XXII and such additional provisions, not contained in said Article XXII as are required by the Omnibus Bill, so called, or Enabling Act.
W. H. MURPHY,
C. A. HOULTON,
