FOR a CONSTITUTIONAL coNvEN.
TION.

The Chicago Eagle calls on all good
citizens 10 fight for new State Con-
stitution. The Citizens Association
voices our sentiments when 1t says:
1T is universally admitted that the
present Constitution OF Illinois, adopt
ed forty.three years ago has long
been outgroWn; and that the slow and
difficult process required to amend 1t
has for many years seriously retarded
the progress OF the people OF the State
by depriyiEg them OF the power to
properly meet new governmental
needs arising from the changed condi-
tions. The accumulated evils arising
from this situation have now become
so numerous and acute that adequate
relief can be obtained only by revising
the Constitution in such a way that It
will cease 10 be hlndrance to good
government Such necessary reforms
as the abolition OF the system OF mi.
nor!ty representation In the Legisla-
ture; revision Of the texation system;
consolidation OF local governing and
taxing bodies; and reduction in the
number OF elective officers can only be
secured without intolerable delay by
undermining the State Constitution.

Very few automobile owners pay

to go down In their pockets to pay
$10,OO0,000 for an "outer boulevard
