CAMPBELL: To provide that no county oJMcer or supervisor. shall hold any other elective o«sce. I understand that this ame:ramcnt .will be accepted by your committee * Mr, AViTiiisiiiS.: I should like to ask the jrc-ntleman from Am hers t a question.- Suppose the Legislature should decide tha^ co mm issioners of . the revenue . should be appointed by the board of^supervisors. his amejidnient would simply allow the board of supervisors to elect themselves com missioners of the revenue, and- ay greater evil could, not possibly be imagined. I hope the committee will not accept that amendment. Mr. C. J. CAMPBELL: - As was sug-: posted by my friend from Prince William ji:st now, I am one or those, and' there; may be few. in this body, who believe that the Virginia Legislature has been and will be just as .watchful of the people's inter vsts as this Convention is. I believe, that ..this' is : sufficiently ;far to go now; in- the Corstitution. . AVlien t:ie question of com missioners of the revenue r comes -before the Legislatuce I believe the Legislature will watch the people's* interests and pro vide by law that the commissioner of the revenue, although he may I>6 appointed.' shall iiot be appointed from . any .other class of oflicers. Now; I believe -the -Leg iPlnture • will watch the- people's- interests hs strictly and as well as this Convention, and I anticipate that the Legislature will do it. - - ' " ' ' .-■ .". ■ : " ""■"' "-.;•' ' ■ Mr. O'FLAHERTY: "Will' «ie gentleman permit me to call his attention; to the fact That, while he may be right as" to that, ■under this language, if the commissioner i Avere appointed" he could hold the office of s Fupervisor and»<iommissloner; v o£. the.reve-.

My I reasons are' these : I believe' the crime of lynching is increasing in this country .with such rapidity that it will -become neces sary in a few years that .very, drastic measures shall be. adopted to "control' it. We hardly pick up any paper now-a-days . th at "we do nor see" one or ■ more instances in which men have either- been hung ■* to i"tlie limbs of trees or 'been 7 burned at -the, •- stake, oftentimes on : mere 1 suspicion.;- • '•• Some years, ago ]ynching,was, meted out to suppose offenders for ■ one crime alone, but now, - not only in' the Southern" States, but: in tlfe Northern States f, and in the .-"Western 1 States men are" subjected -to death without jMiy, trial whatever," for other and' much lesser crimes."* : ' *;.. ; .!
