FORUM HEARS PURDUE HEAD

SET FORTH NEEDS OF STATE

"Home rule for municipalities would accomplish much for Indiana If provided for In the new constitution," declared President W. E. Stone of Purdue university In an address at the high school auditorium, yesterday afternoon. President Stone spoke on "The Constitutional Convention" and outlined proposed reforms which will occupy the time of the convention. Among other things he advocated making the office of state superintendent of public instruction, appointive; reforms In the taxation system; enactment of more stringent impeachment provisions: and changes in "the ridiculous qualifications for practicing law." Other Vital lesues Raised "Othr questions which will demand Attention will be the short ballot, prohibition, woman suffrage, initiative, referendum and recall, court reforms and soma provisions for labor," the speaker declared. The meeting was held under the msplces of the Wayne county Forum. "Under the constitution which was adopted by the two hundred and fifty persons preeent, half of which were women, similar meetings will be held the second and fourth Sunday of each month or at times when the executive committee shall see it. Every person in the county is eligible to membership. There are no dues. Attendance at meetings entitles a person to membership. Questions concerning the new constitution will be discussed by foreign and local speakers. Candidates for delegates to the convention will probably be called before the Forum for speeches and to answer questions. Names Executive Committee The executive committee elected yes'erday to have charge of the Forum la composed of: Mrs. O. B. Iew-

is. Pres. Robert L. Kelly, Dr. A. L. Bramkamp, Mrs. A. W. Roach and L. S. Bowman, county auditor. A resume of Dr Stone's speech follows: A few weeks ago the 100th annivers

ary of the admission of Indiana to

statehood was celebrated. As a pre

liminary step to that event the first constitutional convention assembled at Corydon on June 10. 1816. and after eighteen days of deliberation, under the now famous elm tree, adopted the

first basic law of the state. Thirtyfive years later, in 1851, a second con

vention was called at Indianapolis and prepared a new constitution which on submission to the people was adopted. Sixty-six years have now elapsed and the growth of the state demands again that the fundamental law of the com

monwealth be adjusted to existing con

ditions. Before us is the task of selecting delegates to the third constitutional convention to assemble on January

8th, 1918.

No act of a people compares in seriousness and importance with that of

determining their chartered rights and it is therefore essential that the citizens of our state approach this duty with a proper sense of responsibility and an intelligent understanding of the subject. A constitution is the expressed will of a people concerning the fundamental principles under which it shall be governed it is not so much law as the collection of principles on which law is based. It embodies those rights of a people which no ruler, no parliament or legislature, nor even any court may transgress. A constitution is not a thing to be lightly changed on the other hand it exists to serve and not to dominate a people and when its provisions have become obsolete it is no longer a bulwark of liberties but an obstacle to progress. A constitution such as exists in Indiana contains a number of provisionsa bill of rights relating to the liberties of the people; principles for the organization of government, and a variety of specific prohibitions or restrictions, reflecting current subjects

! rf controversy at. the time the consti

tution was drawn. It is probable that i In framlrir a nw constitution for Indiara the bill of rights would remain i'ntonr-hofl : hut that changes In the ilpia'19 of ovirrm,nt and certain retrictivp n'-lnrlolos will he desired. It is because such sweeping changes have occurred in every aspect of life in the last half century, that our sixtyi five year old constitution is no longer j adequate. J The speaker drew striking comparisons between conditions in 1851 and j 1917, showing how business, commerce and industry, society, education and I the habits and amusements of the I people had become completely revolu- ! tionised in this time. It is easy to see how a constitution quite adequate In 1851 could not possibly meet all of the j new demands arising from the conI ditions existing today. While too often

greatly needed reforms are Impeded by constitutional restrictions. Matters of great moment In the early days of the state such as slaving, state banks, the Wabash canal, etc., have now given place to questions formerly I undreamed of such as equal suffrage.1 prohibition, immigration, initative and referendum, etc. The speaker then, in an analysis of the present constitution, discussed item by item those sections for which a change la demanded. The present! restriction of suffrage to male citizens will be the target of those in favor of the equal franchise for men and wom-j

en. On the other hand the voting of unnaturalized foreigners as Is now possible will undoubtedly be changed. Legislative procedure including a budget system and possibly a lengthening cf the term of the assembly will be shortly urged. The Increase of salaries during, the term of office Is objectionable as 'now permissible under the constitution. It will be proposed to adopt a provision for the Impeachment of a public officer for causes short of conviction for crime as the present constitution perlmts. ' The ridiculous qualifications for practicing law now In force will undoubtedly be changed. The speaker dwelt on the objections to making the

office of the state superintendent of j

public instruction an elective office. "It is now the football of politics," he said. One of the most Important offices In the state, it should be appointive and of long tenure. Reforms in taxation are urgently

needed but not permitted, by the pres

ent constitution which does not permit

a classification of property. There

should be a better method of amending the constitution than at present. One of the great needs to be met In a

new constitution is a larger freedom In the government of cities. Home rule for municipalities will accomplish more for Indiana than almost any other single provision in the new constitution. Prohibition of the sale and manufacture of alcoholic liquors will undoubtedly be a hotly contested question. The speaker concluded by urging

me importance or selecting the best men as delegates to the convention, pointing out that it was non-partisan and non political. The people should have an altogether different idea of the convention than their conception of tae leglslatnpe a different type t

man is needed. Candidates should be broad minded, intelligent, patriotic citizens, not selected for their advocacy of a fad or a single proposition but capable of exercising sound judgment in the interest of all the people and the whole state. He urged the adoption of the forum plan for public discussion of all the questions likely to come up and the widest publicity as the safeguard against political Intrigue and the domination of the convention in the interest of any class or party. Finally, he pointed out the necessity of submitting controverted questions to be voted on separately from the body of the constitution.

PATRIOTIC

Continued Prom Page One.l expressed the provisions of the Adamson law. We asked the railroads to agree that if the Adamson law was held to be constitutional, that this construction and. application would be given it. The railways agreed to this at a joint session between the brotherhood chiefs and the managers. And with much difficulty, the chiefs stayed the strike, an act that was vital to

the success of our efforts at further mediation. Seek Special Adjust "We next sought some adjustment that would be effective should the law be held to be unconstitutional. In this regard many propositions were made to both sides, until the railroads expressed a willingness to place the whole matter in the hands of the committee. This action proceeded, as the letter of the railway managers states, from a desire to demonstrate to the country that the railroads would not allow their own conception of railroad policy to stand in the way of the fullest use of the roads at a time of severe national strain. The committee considered the matter and decided that in view of the action of congress in passing the Adamson law and the necessity for immediate action, that it was best to adopt at once trie memorandum agreement of the previous day, as applicable under all conditions. Then the provisions of the eight-hour law, by agreement between the roads and the men, became the basis of the settlement and whether the supreme court holds for the validity of the law or against it, there will be no strike. (Signed) "Franklin K. Lane, "W. B. Wilson. "Daniel Willajfd. "Samuel Gompers." The committee sent the following letter to Ellsha Lee, chairman of the conference committee of the railways: Receipt of Favor Reported. "We are in receipt of your favor of this date, placing in our hands for immediate adjustment, the matter of the difference between your committee and the railroad brotherhoods. "We have brought this letter before the brotherhoods with the statement that in our judgment, it was advisable to put into effect the provisions of the Adamson law whether it be held valid or otherwise. This was acceptable to them. Thus by your own action urged thereto by the highest reasons of na-
