essary expense of securing new constitution
once in 63 years to bring our methods of govern
ment abreast Of the times!
The material benefits to come from constitu-
tional revision in Indiana on the financial side
alone would be so enormous as to sink the cost
into insignificance. A proper read ustment OF
our taxation system would effect saving many
times greater than this in a single year, and at
the same time would place our enrmous tax bur-
den where it properly belongs. Against the tax
situation alone the expense argument is worth no
consideration at ALL The present unnecessary
cost imposed upon the people of Indiana by lnef-
ficient and extravagant state government, lnevi-
table under our inadequate constitution, makes
even the exaggerated estimate of the cost of a
new constitution look small indeed.
The improvement of our municipal govern
ment by an efficient modern system of home rule
for cities would unquestionably result in a large
annual reduction in cost of administration of city
government. Experts have declared that the
waste incident to our present political system of
administration of city government amounts to
from 10 to so per cent per year. Using the low
est factor, a new constitution could be made the
means of saving Indiana cities in single year
more than the cost of the convention.
An effective workmen's compensation act,
now common in the other industrial states,
would effect a large reduction in the cost of ad-
ministerng our courts, to say nothing of the vast
sums it would divert from the pockets of lawyers
to the direct relief of the injured workers and
their dependent families.
But the more important benefits to come from
constitutional convention can not, and should
not be measured by dollars and cents standards.
The progressive political and social legislation
that would eventually result from it; the stimu-
us it would give to the study of public questions
the awakening of interest on the part of the peo-
pie in the big problems of citizenship are much
the larger factors.

The wonderful cures that are being
made by this remarkable new remedy
are almost beyond belief. A young
lady from Ottumwa, Ia. for many
years suffered from q bad case OF &C.
zema. Her face was q sight to behold;
all covered with red blotches. pustules
and pimples. So unsightly was her ap-
pearance she gave up all social life.
Failing to find relief with doctors and
remedies, she became respondent and
discouraged. After few weeks treat
ment with Amolox the scaly redness
disappeared. pustules healed and she
was entirely cured. A few months fol-
lowing her mother wrote that Amolox
had done wonders for her daughter,
and she was married last week. Seems
like q fairy tale, doesn't It? Yet this
10 the truth. This is only one of the
many cases that are being reported in
towns where Amolox has been intro
duced and its merits have become
known. Amolox is invaluable for &C.

Cost of the Constitutional Convention,

OF course it will cost something to secure a
new constitution for Indiana. But the cost of
constitutional revision is the necessary and in
evitable price of progress and growth in every
commonwealth. Legislative sessions each two
years are expensive propositions but they are
indispensable Accomplishments of state govern
ment. But not more than periodical revisons
of the constitution. Progress in government and
methods of administration would be impossible
under any other system. The people of Indiana
are willing to pay the price of progress They
are not concerned so much in what they pay, as
in what they get.
The state is spending about 100000 year
on roads and bridges. Our state and county gov
eminent each cost more than $1O,OOO,O 900 annu-
ally, and more than $15,OO0,OOO goes to adminis-
ter the governments of our cities. There were
township road bonds outstanding on December
81, 1911, amounting to $23,441,352 all used to
provide modern substitute for the corduroy and
creek bottom roads of the generation that made
the present constitution. We are paying So OOO,-
600 year for our public school system.
Compared to such vast expenditures in the
public welfare how insignificant the no less nec-
