CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.


again urge upon the Legislature the neces-
sity of an amendment to the Constitution.
In my inaugural address and message last year
many reasons were stated for action. These
of themselves should be sufficient, but there
are others of equal Importance. The Senator
ial representation, provided for by the present
Constitution, is unjust. There is no similarity
in the case of the United States, for in the
United States Senate States are equally repre-
scented as equal sovereignties. Counties have no
character, being merely municipal divisions of
the State subject to legislative control and
change. The senate should be the representa-
tive of population not of geographical lines.
The attempt to legislate for municipalities by
general laws has been a failure, and experience
has shown that different places require different
laws Many are burdened and hampered with
charter provisions from which they cannot be
relieved, and each year shows the necessity for
special provisions for almost every city OF
town.
The experiment of amendment BY commits
sion and legislative action did not prove success
full, and a convention seems to be the only
means to effect a satisfactory revision.

Job to catch a seeker. We went
down about twelve feet with a
shaft, struck "lndications," and
then raked and scraped for speci-
mems to "salt'' with. We sold our
