CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS:— With the defeat of the ballot for a new constitution ’in Indiana overwhelmingly at the recent election, advocates of the ideas for which such a convention was wanted will now turn to the resolution offered in the last general assembly by Senator Stotsenberg as the quickest means of attaining those desires. The senator offered twenty-two amendments and there is a plan on foot whereby if these are adopted at the coming session that the vote be taken at a special election in which case more attention would be given these proposed amendments and it is probable that at least some of them would be definitely decided. Included in the list are the following: No. 1. Gives the general assembly authority to enact a compulsory compensation law, for injuries or death occurring to employes engaged in hazardous employment, such employment’ to be defined by the general assembly. No. 2. Limits the elective franchise to male citizens only, and increases the term of residence in the state from six months to one year. This would forever make it impossible to get woman suffrage in Indiana. Permits the general assembly to exempt from the operation of any registration laws counties having a population of less than 50.000 inhabitants. Preserves the right of suffrage to all persons having the right to vote under the present constitution, they possessing the residential qualifications required under the present constitution. No. 3. Omits the provision for the registration of voters, such provision being included in proposed amendment No. 2. , No. 4. Gives the general assembly the right to adopt special charters for . the different cities of the state. No. 5. Limits the time, in which a bill may be presented to the governor , from two days to three days before the ; adjournment of the general assembly. ( Gives to the governor the power to veto any clause or clauses, item or , items in any appropriation bill and to approve the remainder of the bill. No. 6. Makes all state officers con- . stitutional officers, fixes the term of office at four years ,and except in the j case of judges, making an officer ineligible to more than one term in eight 1 years. No. 7. Same provision as No. 6, np- ] plying to county officers. No. 8. Same provision as No. 7, applying to other officers. No. 9. Gives the general assembly j authority to establish all needed courts of general, special or appellate juris- 1 diction. No. 10. Gives the general assemb'y authority to increase the number of ]

supreme court judges to twelve and to fix their term of office at not exceeding twelve years. No. 11. Gives the general assembly authority to establish more than one circuit court in any county. No. 12. Increases the term of the prosecuting attorney to four years and makes him ineligible to re-election. No. 13. Gives the general assembly power to adopt laws for the initiative, referendum and recall, other than for the recall of judges. No. 14. Gives the general assembly authority to provide by law for the qualifications of attorneys-at-law. No. 16. Increases the term of office of the state superintendent of public instruction to four years. No. 16 Provides for reform in the taxing laws, giving to the general assembly authority to classify different kinds of property for taxation. No. 17. Gives the general assembly power to amend or alter the charters of corporations. No. 18. Omits the word “white” in defining the state militia. No. 19. Gives municipal corpoiatlons the power to go into debt beyond the constitutional limit for purchasing or binding a public utility when authorized to do so by a majority of the voters. No. 20. Forbids the increasing of the salaries or extending the terms of of fice of any public officer within the term for which he was elected. No. 21. Changes the method of amending the constitution as follows: Amendments need to be approved by only one general assembly instead of two; amendments may be adopted by a majority vote of the electors voting on them; giving political parties the right to declare for or against any pr? posed amendment, and having the*r action printed on its official ballot; provides that a constitutional convention may be called only by a vote of the electors. No. 22. Omits the prohibition in the present constitution against subm’t ting one amendment to the consti’ation while another is pending. Herman L. Conter, a Decatur mar has been re-appointed as deputy secretary of state by Homer L. Cook, who will succeed Mr. EUingham as seertary on the 27th of this month. Mr. Conter was appointed four years ago and has served during the entire term of Mr. EUingham. That he has made good is best evidenced from the fact that almost without effort on his part he was named by the new official and those who have business to transact at the office of the secretary of state will be glad to learn of the re-appointment of Mr. Conter, for they recognize his fitness to conduct the department in a most business like manner. More power to you, Mr. Conter. We know you will continue to succeed and we are glad of it. FOR RENT —Modern ten-room house at the corner of Jefferson and Thin’ streets.

The center table of the room was decorated appropriately to Thanksgiving. A pumpkin basket filled with fruits was its centerpiece and surrounding it were lighted taers in pumpkin faces. Each plate for the table had a paper doily decorated with turkey and pumpkin designs and at each plate lay a little paper Pilgrim Father’s hat, bearing the words “Pythian Needle Club, 1914.” Assisting the hostesses in serving were the Misses Ireta.

The message said that Carranza conferred yesterday with General Obregon and others, and told them that while he was not bound to recognize the validity of the convention's action he was prompted by feelings of patriotism to turn over his position to any man who would actually assume command of the division of the north and having the central government in fact rather than in theory. Members of the junta here expressed hope of peaceful settlement. President Wilson declared he felt confident that the Mexican situation will work out satisfactorily. The message said optimism prevailed when the Carranza was received. GIRL AFFLICTED (CONTINUE© FROM PAGE ONE) department of agriculture immediately planned for the restrictions as in other states.
