1t is easy enough 10 assert that a
constitutional convention would result
In n saving Of a half q million OF dollars
n year TO the taxpayers OF Virginia,
but no one Of the political optimists
who advocate a convention has ever been
so obigng as 10 point out Just now
such u great saving Is 10 be Drought
about There are those who have given
much thought and study TO the subject
who are Of the opinion that the amount
which would be saved by changing our
iudicial system would be inconsiderable.
We may have fewer judges. and extend
the territorial limits of their circuits
but in that event those who are re-
tanned must be better paid. We may
abolish some Of our county Offices, out
taxes must be assessed ana collected by
somebody, and whoever does II must
be paid for the work. Are county urea
surers oyerpaid now? The News would
IKE TO be given the figures in detail
when Il is told that there is 10 be thls
great saving. If we are expected 10
regard the question of constitutional
convention as q business ana not as
political proposition, then We would Ike
To be given the figures upon Whlcn the
advocates OF the tbuN'ht4'IN ''N~ N'-' 80
calculation. How is this $4,000 10 be
saved to the taxpayers? And if it can
be saved. why cannot II be saved by
amending the present Constitution in
the manner which is provided in that IN
strument itself. as well as by the hold
ing Of a constitutional convention with
a view 10 revising II? 1t cannot be de-
MED that the amendment process Is just
as expeditions, and certainly it Is a less
costly and dangerous plan. Besides, any
lust and reasonable amendment looking
TO the reduction Of our court expenses

There is no earthly possibility that
