RHODE ISLAND UP Governor Higgins Urges Sweep ing Changes in the Fun
 damental Law. CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM Sister State Likely to Succeed Where Connecticut Has Failed
 to Score.

Providence, R. l., Jan. 10.--Questions of constitutional reform constitutes the burden of the message delivered yester- day to the general assembly of Rhode Island by Governor Higgins. The con stitutional reformers of Connecticut. a half century, and who have succeed ed only In breaking down the majority provision for the election of state of flcials will perhaps be encouraged to work on more enthusiastically than ever if Rhode Island this winter pulls out the governors recommendation.
 Governor Higgins said in part:
 Both of the leading parties stand pledged to an increased representation for the cities and larger towns in the general assembly. No commonwealth in the Union has to-day so unrepre- sentative and unfair a system of legis- lative apportionment. Our government, both state and national, was founded on the principle that to tho people as a whole belonged the right 10 govern. Rhode Island long ago adopted the principle that to ten per cent. of the people belonged the right to govern; and that in ordar to govern one must live in certain sections of the state. About twelve per cent of the people of the entire state have complete majority in our senate, and can defeat or approve such legislation as they see fit, irrespective of the wishes or de- mands of the other eighty-eight per cent. This condition of affairs canno, be remedied too soon If our state is to maintain even the appearance of a rep resentative or q republican form os government.
 With such dIsproportionate power centered in the hands of a few voters, the inclination to buy votes and to re sort to other sinister methods of control has been irresistible. A change in the system, therefore, which would ap- proximate genuine representative gov practice of wholesale bribery which has for so many years disgraced cer- tain sections of our state.
 'I therefore. recommend most heartily the adoption of constitution al amendment which will giveto all the cities and towns in the state represen- tatfon in both house and senate based approximately on the population of such towns and cities.
 Both parties aiso stand pledged by their recent platforms to give to the executive of the state substantial veto power. It is reasonable to expect therefore. that such reform will be inaugurated at this session.
 Another constitutional reform which l most heartily recommend and which has been suggested on previous occa- sions. is the abolition of the property qualification No state in America hs s such qualification, except Rhode Is- land"

 Charles Jones ond Horace Morency, aged eight and thirteen years re- spectfully, were UT before the local court yesterday morning on charge of entering the clubhouse of the High land Golf club and breaking open the lockers in the house, and stealing ev- erything in the place worth carrying away. Prosecuting Attorney Baldwin entered n plea of not guilty for the boys. Charles A. Cook, president of the club. related how the Morency boy told him that the club was entered by Derby boys who committed the robbery. When young Morency told his story he denied having entered the house and told the court the same story he had told President Cook. There seemed, to be no case against the boys, their story was so convincing until Young Jones took the stand, and then he broke down and said 1t was Morency and he that stole the things from the club The club did not wish to prosecute, so after giving the young boys a good talk they were allowed their freedom upon the payment of the actual costs by their parents.
