CONSTITUTION REVISION.

The adoption of the constitutional
amendment creating a state railway
commission submitted to the voters at
the last election seems to open the way
for the long delayed and urgently
needed revision of the Nebraska con-
stitution. Our experience with this
amendment proves conclusively that it
is possible to secure the required ma
jority at the polls provided the amend
ment proposed is acceptable to all the
great political parties and evokes no
serious opposition from any large body
of voters.
With this situation clearly before
us, the plan for a constitutional re-
vision commission embodied in the bill
introduced by Senator Aldrich should
receive immediate and favorable con-
sideration at the hands of the legisla-
ture. This plan contemplates the APP
pointment by the governor of Eve COM
missioners to meet at once and go over
the constitution with view to finding
its defects and bringing it thoroughly
up to date. 1t provides that not more
than three members of the commission
shall be affiliated with any one politi-
cal party, thus giving the minority am
pie representation, and provides
further that no amendment be re-
ported to the legislature for submits
sion except by unanimous agreement
of all the commissioners,
The commission plan would give us
the services of our ablest lawyers in
drafting the desired amendments. II
men of the highest rank were put upon
this commission, such for example as
ex-senator Allen, former Judge Sulli-
van, former Attorney General Smyth or
w. H. Thompson to represent the dem
ocrats and populists, and H. H. Bal
drige, John L. Webster, p. ]. Hainer,
Allen W. Field or John G. Gown to
represent the republicans, the work
would not only be speedily and eff
ciently performed, but 1t ought to COM
mand acquiescence at once of members
of the legislature irrespective of par
tisanship and later secure without OPP
position the endorsement Of the differ
ent political parties, without which
ratification would be impossible.
Where the constitution is really de-
fective or has been VIGOROUSLY out
grown in the thirty years that it has
remained practically unaltered, there
should be no difficulty in reaching
unanimity among men of this caliber
as to what changes should now be
made. AT the same time, all PROPOSE
lions which would involve us in rancor
and contention would be barred out
from the start.
To bring about the desired result
the proposed constitutional revision
commission bill must be hurried
through the legislature in order to
hasten the appointment of the commits
sion. Nothing but utmost expedition OF
the bill would give the commissioners
time to examine the constitution crit
ically and formulate the desired
amendments before the forty-day limit
for the introduction Of bills expires sc
that the present legislature may pass
upon the commissions report and sci
in motion the machinery for submis-
sion and adoption.
If the legislature now in session will
do this it will make at least one record
that will become historic, and it will
receive good share of the credit fol
securing to Nebraska a revised consti
tuition for lack of which it is griev
ously suffering.
