NEED NEW CONSTITUTION


| San Antonio, Aug 26.-That Tex
as stands in sore need of a new con
stitution is a truth that seems to gain
imore and more adherents with every
| day. The present one, made over
| fifty years ago, has outgrown its use
fulness considerably, and according
TO general opinion, the amendments
that have been tackled onto it have
mot by any means remedied the
shortcomings they were expected to
discount.
Quite a number of Spanish law
features were incorporated in the
present constitution and these not
only have been obsolete, but are also
lproving obnoxious to modern ideas,
not to say injurious to present-day
conditions, The many attempts made
! to overcome this is shown by the
number OF amendments the Texas
}Voter is constantly asked to vote
| on. In almost every election and
often in the interim, on the occasion
| of elections for state and municipal
Officers, the voter is confronted not
only with amendments TO the or
iginal constitution, but also with
amendments to amendments previ-
ously made. The outcome of this
has been that meritorious measures
have often been voted down because
communities could not see in what
respect they would be benefited by
| the new amendment, while in reality
! the whole state, including those who
voted against the new amendment,
would have gained by its passage.
What makes new constitution
| even more necessary is the fact that
since the making of the old one the
state has undergone a tremendous
change Not only have its industries
increased and multiplied but it may
also be said that its population has
shifted to a different base of living
While 1t is too early to say when
action on the new constitution will
be taken, its date can not be far off
if the spread of sentiment can be re-
garded as a criterion.
