The Constitutional Amendmc Mt !.

Montgomery Advertiser.
There is growing INTEREST," in reference
to the constitutional amendment, to be
be voted on the 9Th Of August.
Committees should be organized at
every precinct to see that the attention
OF voters is called to the subject, and to
distribute tickets.
Electors, who desire to support the
measure, are authorized to print or write
on the same ballot they cast for repre>
sentatives For local legislation amends
ment," and this will be counted as a vote
favoring the amendment. To fail to vote
on the subject is vote against it, at least
where one votes at all for members OF
the general assembly.
Local legislation costs the State Of Ala
bama $40, 900 per session, or nearly two
thirds OF what the entire judiciary sys-
tenn of the State costs.
In ten years. as we showed in yester
days Advertiser, it has increased from
about 300 pages of printed matter in the
Session Acts OF the Legislature, to nearly
900.
Why have separate Try law for half
the counties in the State? WHY a sepa
rate system Of county courts? Why
fifty statutes authorizing local option in
as many distinct counties, and half as
