(Continued from Page 1.)
the question waa one for the legis
lative brancn rather than the con
stitutional contention, although It
waB conceded that the convention
might place such limitations on tax
ation as would bring about the de
sired effect.
Judge Hewitt then discussed the
problems that would be brought up
at the convention. He told of eme
reasons why a new constitution was
needed. The present document,
written in a day when the people
were considerably fearful of officials
and rather economical In general,
contains a number of limitations,
some of which are rather humorous
when considered in the light of pres
ent conditions. For example, the
constitution expressly states that the
attorney general and the state su
perintendent of public instruction
cannot have a clerk, and it has taken
a decision by the supreme court,
which has ruled that a stenographer
1b not a clerk, to get around this pro
vision, adopted in the days when
neither office had very much to do.
Other Instances may be found in the
low salary limit set for the gover
nor, 2,500, to get around which it
has been necessary to liave the legis
lature allow an additional, sum for
maintenance of the governor's man
sion. The salary limit on other state
offices Is too low, also,- Mr. Hewitt
declared. He believed that these
salaries would be raised to such an
extent that really good men could
afford to give telr time to the busi
ness of the state.
The most ' radical changes that
have been proposed, Mr. Hewitt
said, concern the legislature and the
courts. There are three chief sug
gestions which affect the legislature,
one being to do away with that body
altogether and substitute therefor a
commission, similar to the city com
mission plan, . with both legislative
and executive powers. Another sug
gestion Is to do away with the sen
ate, and at the same time do away
with all the logrolling and trading
that goes on now. A third plan pro-
Tides for having a smaller legisla
ture, and keeping it constantly in
session. It is altogether likely that
some changes will be made in the
legislature, Mr. Hewitt thought, but
he was in doubt as to which of the
proposed plans, if any, had sufficient
backing to secure the support of the
convention.
A number of changes in the con
stitution as it affects the courts have
been proposed. The courts as at
present constituted cannot take f re
of the tremendous amount of busi
ness that comes before them. The
state supreme court is especially oer
worked. For years It was behind In
its j business, the total number of
cases being such that it was impos
sible to give a decision on all of
them. The expedient of the supreme
court commission was devised to take
care of the excess business, and
while It has proved successful, nev
ertheless a number of objections
have been raised. The commission
ers are appointed and do the work
of the supreme court, promulgating
decisions which are published as the
work nf thn court, although the
Judges never see them unlil they are
published. The lawyers who bring
up cases object that a decision by
the commissioners is not really a de
cislon by the court, and the commis
sioners, on the otherhand, say that
they do the work of supreme Justices,
but their position lacks the honor
and dignity that should attach
thereto.
Among, the remedies that have
been proposed for this condition are
(1) to Increase the sixe of the su
preme court to such an extent that
it can take care of the business that
comes before it; (2) to establish an
appellate court in between the pres
ent district courts and, the supreme
court, and limit the cases that may
be appealed; (3) to establish district
judges In each county. Inasmuch as
Increases In salary for Judges has
been proposed, this means that ad
ditional district judges would be a
rather expensive proposition. An
other objection is that it might be
difficult to find sufficient material of
the right sort to fill the Judgeships.
There are some counties In the state,
it Is pointed out, which do not num
ber a single lawyer among their
cltlxens.
F. A. Bald made the suggestion
htat one way out of the difficulty
would be to increase the jurisdiction
of the present county courts. This
would mean, of course, that the
standards would have to be raised.
It is not requisite, at the present
time, for a county judge to be a
member of the bar. But with proper
care in the selection of county
judges, Increased salary, jurisdiction
and responsibility, the county court
could be made to take its proper
place in the judicial scale. Mr. Bald
said that with the right kind of coun
ty courts, the present district courts
could then be made a sort of ap
pellate court, with limitations on the
cases that might be appealed. Thus,
the supreme court would be able to
handle its business without need for
assistance.
Judge Tash was quoted as saying
that county courts should be author
ized to accept a plea of guilty and
impose sentence. As it is now, even
though a prisoner is willing to plead
guilty, the county must board him
until such time as the district judge
is able to come along and pass
sentence.
Judge Berry mentioned the fact
that In Iowa, a case involving less
than $100 might not be appealed to
the supreme court unless the trial
judge would certify that a question
of law was involved which would re
quire a decision by the supreme
judges.
Another suggested provision for
the new constitution, Mr. Hewitt con
tinued, was evidently for the benefit
of co-operative concerns. It was to
the effect that In corporations, share
holders, whatever the number of
shares they possessed, have an equal
vote. This ia onl ya suggestion, and
stands very little chance of ever be
coming law, Mr. Hewitt believed, be
cause of the fact that considerable
opposition would be aroused by every
sort of ,a corporation but the co-op
erative variety.
In conclusion, Mr. Hewitt pointed
out that it was very difficult for a
constitution convention to avoid en
croaching on the legislative territory,
The old constitution is full of such
instances. There is a movement to
have the new document very short
as well as to easy change, but it was
impossible to predict what any con
vention would do when It finally got
down to the actual work of making
up the fundamental law.
LUXUIUKS OF T11H FlXH'IJl
Hon. Ex-Editur Cale Fluhart made
long impassioned appeal t th'
people t'day, t' curtail ther expenses
an' return t' th' simple modes o llv-
in He spoke on th' public square
an' th' high cost o livin' was f cut
out th' necessities an' go barefooted.
Follerln are some o' th' high spots
in Mr. Fulhart's address:
Fortunately th' high tide o prices
has hit us at a seasen o' th' year
peculiarly favorable t light diet an'
bare feet.
We. used t shine our own shoes,
whereas we now pay $1,359,576 an
nually inf th coffers o th' Greek.
Women used t' wash ther own
hair, but t'day there's a half a dosen
beauty parlors in ever buildln' In
town an no perceptible increase In
beauties.
We used t' slick up Saturday
night, but now we're dolled up all th'
time. ,
We used t' write postal cards, but
now we wire on th' slightest provo
cation.
We used f be content with Nlagary
Falls once a year, but now .we're
alius on th' go.
Farmers dldn UBed t'know any
better, but now ther educated an' discontented.
We used" t run three blocks t' see
a dude, an' now we're all dudes.
You kin buy a paid o' socks or a
fairly decent lookin steak for what
It costs V have your nails manicured.
Calico is no longer worn 'cept in
th' reformatories.
You kin keep a cow for what it
cost t' wear silk stockln'.
Years ago th' .doctors occasionally
operated on somebody o' great con
sequence, but t'day ever'buddy you
meet is Just out from under th
knife, or '11 be ripped open t'mor-row.
Years ago th'' president o' th'
Peoples bank kept a boss and phae
ton. T'day you can't cross th' street
fer autos.
T'day a feller don't think no more
pit tin a auto overhauled than be
used t' think o buyln a new main
spring.
Th' flllin stations take In twice
as much as th' old time saloon an'
set no free lunch.
A feller now spends as much on
his wife's feet as he used to spend
on his home.
We used t' keep th butter in th
cistern, but now we buy 45-cent Ice.
We used t' make a pitcher o' lem
onade occasionally, but now we take
th whole family f th'. sody foun
tain ever' evenin.
We used t have chicken dinners at
home, but now we buy 'em at $2 a
plate, not includin gasoline an' wear
on tires.
We used t' carry a umbreller, but
now we wear a $35 rain coat.
A feller used t' have a wild, reck
less Saturday night on 60 cents, in
cludin' shave an' Floridy water, but
t'day you don't git as much change
back from $1 as you used t git back
from a dime. )
We used to live at home, but t'day
we only git our mail there. "Abe
