THE MOVEMENT FOR A NEW CONSTITUTION

Only One Issue Involved at Thle Time —Shall a Convention Be Called? It should be borne clearly in mind that the movement commonly referred to as a movement for a new constitution, which will be determined at the election this fall, involves but a single issue at this time. The one question is. as the ballot will read! ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION IN THE YEAR 1&15? A fair determination of this main Issue should not be prejudiced in any part of the public mind by the overenttfusiastic advocacy or opposition which may be urged concerning any I special issue. All such special issues i can only be determined later by the constitutional convention, in case the people vote to call one. We are confronted now with the single broad question as to whether or not the people of Indiana want and need an up-to-date organic law. It was this general demand that bv Governor Ralston When ne recommended specifically; -fn his message to the Legislature J 913. that a convention be called. It was the recognition of this demand which caused the Legislature to submit the question to the people. And it was further recognized, and even emphasized, by political conventions, when they approved In state platforms the calling of a constitutional convention. Of course, various needs to be embodied in a nt w or revised constitution will be insistently urged during the course of the campaign. These proposals will receive discriminating consideration by the people, being variously favored and opposed. But there are fundamental needs upon which all < an practically agree. There are others upon which the most vital differences of opinion may exist, each and every one having its particular~adyocates as well as its opponents. There is no marked line of division separating these various elements. Let the educational treatment of all of these continue throughout the campaign' It will surely tend toward an awakened citizenship. But let no one expect to determine in advance what the convention will do. Some of the matters which are being most prominently mentioned now for the consideration of the convention are: Improvements in our tax system: also in our qualifications for suffrage and In the conduct of elections; submitting equal suffrage; safe-guarding legislation and popular government by initiative, referendum and recall; changing the terms of legislators and ot officers generally; making voting more effective by direct and mandatory primary elections and by proportional representation: simplifying our administrative machinery by the short ballot; establishing qualifications for lawyers; bringing about the simplification of our court procedure; making some labor reforms possible, such as workmen’s compensation and effective ar bitration of labor disputes; taking the liquor problem out of politics and legislation; assuring a modern system of municipal government by providing for home rule for cities. These and others are being earnestly and fairly discussed.

AH advocates of an up-to-date revision of the constitution may join in the movement for a constitutional convention without discord as to details. A non partisan convention of delegates representing the whole people will pass upon all our specific needs later. It should be especially emphasized and remembered that this convention will submit separately all contested issues, to be determined by the people, each upon its own merits. By this means we shall have truly a peoples constitution.

One of the m ost tin pot I ant bal» lots the voter will cast at the coming election is the ballot he casts for Judge of the circuit court. The treasurer and other County officers are required by law to file a bond for the faithful performance of their duties, and if they go wrong, the people seldom suffer, but if the court goes wrong or the Judge becomes corrupt, the people always suiter and there is no remedy. :except in certain cases where they may appeal to a higher court. , This fact was brought to the attention of the people of Terre Hhute and to the people of the whole state of Indiana not long ago when Judge Fortune dismissed a grand jury which was about to indict certain persons foi high crimes and misdemeanors. I pon the man who sits as Judge depends much that vitally concerns, every man. woman and child whose interests are involved in any matter before the court, or who live within the jurisdiction of the court. I pon that man depends the enforcement of the law to a great extent; upon him depends largely the standard observed by the people in keeping or violating the law, and upon him depends very large the degree of respect shown by the people for the court. In selecting a man for this most important position for the next six years the people of these two counts ought to consider first the fitiiess of each candidate, and second every fact which might tend to control. bias or prejudice his judicial acts. Herman C. Rogers, the Progressive candidate, has never held public office, is free from all political entanglements. and is in every way qualified for the office. He merits your support.-—-Advt.
