I1ONluence NEWS.
The constitution of this state is an
antiquated document wholly unsuited to
serve as the basis of the statute law of
an intelligent and progressive people IL
is wholly out OF harmony with the pre-
vailing trend OF political thought which
is all in the direction OF greater and
more direct participation by the people
In their capacity as citizens in the bust
ness of law making
To such participation the present con
stitution presents a barrier hard to over
come. BY its provisions one citizen Of
jamestown or Exeter or West Green
wich possesses equal legislative power
with 1T5 citizens OF Providence. Such
an inequitable apportionment OF power
is neither republican nor democratic and
ought not TO be maintained longer.
To amend the constitution requires
the initiation of the proposed amend
mont by one legislature: it's passage
through second legislature elected af-
ter the amendment shall have been in
itiated, and II so passed by two CON
secutive legislatures by a majority vote
of all the members elected TO each
branch IL shall be submitted to the peo-
pie whore II IL receives three-tifths of
all the votes cast II shall become n part
of the constitution Of the state.
II will be at once seen that il VIII be
very difficult to secure the consent OF
those localities in the state that are now
enjoying a much larger share OF poit-
cal power than, either their numbers or
importance entities them to- that the
power they now enjoy shall be curtailed.
Hence the difficulty of amnding the con
stitution and bringing IL into harmony
with the spirit OF the age.
To avoid this difficulty in the future
and 60 bring the organic law Of the
state within reasonable control OF the
citizens II Is proposed to amend the
constitution so that IL will be possible
for any citizen 20 initiate an
amendment by obtaining I'm support OF
his proposed amendment the signatures
OF 5000 OF his fellow citizens. This %ill
transfer the right OF initiating amend
ments TO the constitution from the leg
islature to the people. II will make
valuable the right of petition. ANY 5000
citizens who shall deem proposed
measure OF sufficient Importance 10 pc
tition for its adoption are entitled 10 "A
respectful hearing and n categorical am
swer To their prayer from the whole
