WOULD CHANGE
Constitutional Convention to Re.
wise Constitution Bound
to Come.

Pierre. Aug. 2.-That the matter
Of n constitutional convention for Ie-
vision Of the constitution of this state
is not to be presented to the people
without a contest Is apparently a GER
taiuty even this early In the game.
There will be opposition from several
sources, on Of these being voiced a few
days ago from one of the old stalwart
organizations, who is bitterly opposed
to a convention at this time for the
reason that 1.-THE people Just now are
too full OF crank ideas which they
would attempt to inject into a con-
~stitution in case the opportunity is
given to them to take any such &C
tion. Other opposition will come
from those who oppose any increase
in salaries If state officials. The
salaries were fixed at the convention
OF 1886, over a quarter Of a century
ago, and were based on financial
conditions of those days. which weIe
not the most prosperous on the Dakota
prsiries. While the salaries Of state
officials have stood still all that time
on account Of the constitutional re-
striction, the salaries OF county off
GERS have been changed to meet
changed conditions, until now county
officers 10 many counties get even
greater salaries than do state officers,
and have been advanced far above
the figures considered as ample thirty
years ago.
On the other hand the good roads
people who are somewhat of a force
in the state are desiring the convention
to allow some change which will give
the state power TO take a part in the
building Of good roads. and incidental
ly into line fol- securing a part OF the
appropriation OF the nstional govern
ment foI roads which will only be paid
alter the state has done q share toward
that end, which IL impossible under
the present constitution. Tax revision
will also be an element in the ques-
tion of = new constitution. and the
action of the present tax commission
on insisting on as nearly as possible
actual valuations on property will
bring that issue more forcibly to the
people than all the discussions along
academic lines could do in a decade.
With two candidates for governor,
and two for the senate already in the
field, after the meetings at Huron on
the 10th of September the next cam
paign in this state might DE called
in full blast, and a prominent demo-
crat Of the state a few days ago ex-
pressed it ss his opinion that after
the present campaign is closed mp in
November of next year and all parties
atop to take stock, they will be ready
to admit that what they thought were
hot campaigns in the past in South Da-
kota, were merely kindergarten and
preparatory work to what the cam
paign flushed at that time has brought
to the front, under the new primary
law. and the split factions of both Of
the old parties.
