The statute of limitations and the legal rate of Interest are new matters whenever a state line la crossed. The common law of England is the groundwork ot the jurisprudence of all the states except Louisiana, mat state, true to her old French history, relies upon the civil codes perfected by Napoleon, although the latter has been greatly amended toy statute. These diversities nave long neen me cause of much worry and d i spute. The only reasonably successful effort to se cure uniform legislation by the states wan the work of the American Bar asso- elation, which resulted In the passage of 3. nearly uniform law on the subject of negotiable instruments by the lesis- latures Of all the states Dut tour. The divorce-law -question has been most ag- it ated. The state laws on divorce vary all the way from strict South Carol in a, which makes no provision at all for dts- solving the marriage tic, to lax south Dakota, where to secure a divorce means only a matter of paying & few months board in the state. Great congresses and conventions have imdored the states to take uniform ac tion to correct the evils of the divorce laws, and President Roosevelt now ad vises that the Federal Government taka a hand, even If an amendment to the conBtitution la necessary. Thft laws gov- ernlnic- the orfranlsatton of corporations, such laws as have made Now Jersey the "mother 01 trusts. are also or great concern to the public welfare, and what to do about It Is the principal question of the hour with statesmen. o Two Constitutions A. 1 lite. stltutions ae as different as are the statutes enacted under them, except that they all agree In setting up i a Republican form of government, each - with a Governor and a Legislature of two branches modeled after the Federal Government. In some states, as in New York:, the Question of calling- a conven tion to form a new constitution must be submitted to a vote of the people at reg- alar stated intervals. The pedple of the IQmpire State vote on the question every 20 years. In other states, as in Tennessee, It (is almost impossible to change the constitution. A proposed amendment must not only be passed by one Xjegtslature, but by the one follow ing, and then must receive a majority Of all the votes In the state at an elec tion called for the purpose. ' , A tendency to hold elections on the same day has resulted In many changes, so that all the states but three now plpct thpir Coneressmen on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In No vember. Maine and Vermont abide by the September elections. and Oregon holds Its election in June. Members of Congress .must he elected by ballot, as required by the Federal Constitution, but In Kentucky, as late as 1891 it was the custom to vote for all other officers -viva VOCe. Instead Of depositing a ballot, the voter merely announced to the Clerk the name of the man he desired to vote for, and It was immediately recorded. .Salaries and Religion. The governors of the states hold of fice from one to four years and are paid all the way from 1 0.OOO a year In New YorK, New Jersey and Pennsy vania to $1500 in Vermont and Ore gon. Freedom of religion is guaran teed by the constitutions of all the states, but South Carolina and Tennes see will not permit persons who deny the existence of God to hold oflice, and In the latter state all clergymen are ineligible to serve in the legislature. Another unique . provision in Tennes see is that before a man can hold of- flee he must first make oath that he has never fought in a duel, and. fur thermore, that he never will engage in one. The relations of the state to the 1 Federal Government are all the same, whether of tho original IS states which formed - the Union or admitted since 1787. Texas holds a peculiar position, as she was a nation of independent rights when taken into the Union. The act admitting Texas provides that this great commonwealth may divide itself in five, states at will Whether this nroviso wcild stand the tent nf the courts probably never will be known. as the Texans seem not to have the slightest disposition to split up. The complex diversity of state law is added to by the complicated rela tion of nation to state, of state to county, of county to city, so that the whole syatern of American govern ment is almost imposlble to compre hend. In Missouri one must pass an expert examination Imposed by the State before he may become a barber, while in Florida a man may get a charter and constitute himself and two of his friends into a university 'with out asking leave of anybody.
