IN favor u 3 l0uT year term and ehgi0if-
Itv 10 re-election.
S We dI~appr0ve OF vestinC the Presi-
dent with power 10 appoint the members
ol the Board OF Education ard istrict
Magistrates We contead that these
shouia he elective offices We suggest
tf4Ri the words . Board OF EducauoR." T"
and the District hagisEr ates," in Sec
lion 4, Arucle %, be stricken out.
=. Asi the exIgency ot Jsse moment is
passed, and II IS now time that those
nnr-n who support the Provisional Soy
eTnnaent in their temporary stage ss
trustees have s. voice IN pnhlic affairs
We desire 10 distinctly state that we con
slider that al those public fices men
toned IN kHes Is. l9, 20, 2l, -, IS and
-, Section ,, Article 80 si,oaia BE- elect
i've. IL Is 1tcldedlq most un-zepubIcan
10 place unlimited power IN the hands ol
lour or FIVE men We hold that the aobve
mentioned lines should he stricken out.
10. The Office oi the legislator is one
IN which the nominal remuneration Is
deemed sufficient all the world over. The
sum ot 500 tor each extra sess on Is
enormous. 35Jne :, beginning st s'ana
the sGm o5 two hap-,'' and lines 8. 10,

oat and the article amended so as 10
r-ad = Al q tor each extra session Of the

Il W tail to ebs4rve the wisdom o5
8 property qualification for eligibility to
the Senate. We suggest that hines Ill, 12,
IS, IL, IS, l6, i and Is, Article 56, be
SnlcSen oat.
Il BY lines 10, Il, ID, IS and Ia, Art
lcle s., complete power is placed in the
hands OF few. These lines are iacan-
slstent and ash with Section 2, Article

out.
Is. Class legislation is a very danger
oHs weapon The middle or working
classes In all civilized countries are at
most mp in arms against It. 1t is the
prTdlroa with which naonopoliSts would
tl1rn the mark of the Serf deem in the
flesh OF the poor man, 1t is not In har-
mony with enlightened, OF in accord with
Tree institutions lone man one vote,H
is our motto We would suggest that
Article 76 be stricken out.
l4, There should be an endeavor to
keen as far as possible within ahe bonds
Of Republican simplicity We suggest
thet Section 6 and :, Article IS be stricken
ont, There is no objection to an Ad-
visory Council formed on the lines Of
he forner trivy Council. Legislative
power originated III the people, col
lee lively, only and while they NAV
transfer these functions TO Representa-
gives, the Representatives cannot make
transfer of this trust 20 another ,u3e-
pendent b0dv. The notion OF the Prasi--
dent appointing Eve men with legs
lafiVe DNwers is unsafe.
Is. We wou d further suggest that
pro isjons be made ia the proposed
Constitution Tor election Of members OF
tie Board Ct Education DiSirict Mag4s-
tratps ard offices enumerated IN l4nes
IS, 10 p 81 -, 23, - Article "a, by all
registered voters a. the FIRST election to
taSe place under the new Constitution,
alter promulgaion and Ratification oi
that Instrument.
rs. We deem Il ii3-a,ivised to With
draw Government aid from ,enaia
deaomina' iooal schoo s, and recon-
mend literal appropriations IN that
direction
1t is unfsir to presume that the mar
aeement cf 6enominational schools
wouli act in any manner detrimental to
good government. We be ieve that
the teachers will msiifl ia~-ab;diaQ
principles In the minds OF the Voanq.
In this position We are sustained to A
great extent by the views .. Min
lister s NJ Damon and The liberal edi-
torials which have lately appeared IN
the daily PAcTFTc COMMERCIAL AovER-
TFsER
IL We are willing to grant the fran
elise 70 womea under the following con
iinone:
ta) THAT iJ they b. given mems
privileges, they accept mems hari-
ships.
d.. That tnev shoulder arms aud DO
military dufv In times Of riot and war.
[c}. That they permiC the dI-sipa ION
Of that ind-6Hable law which frou time
immemorIal mas marked the social frla-
ton of the two sexes, and which has
protected man in the eni9, nent Of
peculiar riehjs and couftesies as the
weaker sex.
IS W are Of the opinion that once a
man is determined 10 swear allegiance
and qualify as a citizen under the Re
public, no question should arise as 10
what his political sentiment had pre-
viou lv been. Treason stares one IN the
iace upon violation Of the oath II allie
aiance We advise the adoption OF a
co ciliatory policy.
10 The crown lands should be opened
up for Sc element. Small holdings and
associations proposing to colonize land
should be encouraged. Extra iniuce-
ment should be ffared TO bona Rie set
tiers. The Government should improve
and cheaper means Of transportation,
thus furnishing a small farmer better
facility for conveying his product to
market.
p We favor the levying of a differ
ential tax A graded come tax should
be adopted. Under the present taxation
system the rich man almost escapes tax
alton, white the poor are excessively
ttxed. Ths inequality should be sbol-
islied
q The safety of the Republic should
not he jeoparlzad by iniudicious reten-
tion. As law aud order must ia nain-
tanned liberal police appropriations
sheuli be made.
