Editor Comments

The original Article XVI, Section 13 was repealed August 5, 1969.

The former section, adopted in 1876 and never amended, mandated the enactment of laws governing arbitration.

Categorized as "deadwood," it and numerous other sections were repealed by the same ballot proposition.

Note that the current Article XVI, Section 13 was added at the same amendment election as Article XVI, Section 13A.
