FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL coNvEN
TON.

The Chicago Eagle calls on all good
citizens to fight for a new State Con.
stitution. The Citizens Association
voices our sentiments when 1t says:
1T 10 universally admitted that the
present Constitution OF Illinois. adopt.
ed forty.three years ago has long
been "ntgrown; 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 depriving them OF the power to
properly meet new governmental
needs arising from the changed c6ndi.
lions. The accumulated evils arising
from this situation have now become
90 numerous and acute that adequate
relief can be obtained only by revising
the Constitution in such q way that It
will cease to be hindrance to good
government. Such necessary reforms
40 the abolition Of the system OF mi.
nority 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
modernizing the State Constitution.
Adequate powers Of home rule for
Chicago can also best be secured by
this Statewide method.
For forty years proposed amend
ments have killed each other on. One
third of the membership OF either
house has been able effectually to
block any desired change In the Con
stitution. The irksome restrictions
imposed by the present Constitution
bear down upon Chicago with almost
crushing force. Because OF them Chi
cago Is compelled to maintain, at q
vast unnecessary expense, three sep
arate and distinct governmental
bodies covering practically the same
territory; viz: the City, County ant
Sanitary District. In our opinion th'
time 10 ripe now for holding . Con
stitutionai Convention In illinois q

relief to the people Of tho City AM

too often is in striking contrast with
the outbuildings and farming ma
chinery.
The objects sought in giving out the
suggestions and plans by the COVE y
ment, are to provide structures rea-
sOnabie in cost and of good material,
and so arranged as to give, for the
money spent, the maximum in health,
comfort and happiness to the family
and added convenience to the house
wife in her domestic operations. En-
deavOr has been made also to provide
good lines and pleasing proportions,
which are essentials to genuine beauty
in all structures and are the result Of
slillful designing rather than of ad-
ditional material and labor. The cost
of erecting a house of four rooms,
need not be more than $500 or $1,000
on farms convenient to reasonable
markets for building materials and to
which cost of actual delivery is not
excessive. Cash outlay for construc-
ton necessarily varies considerably in
different sections, owing to differences
in cost of materials and labor.
One plan in the series of houses, is
a simple, fOur-cOrnered structure,
without bay windows, gables and
domes, or any projection save the cor
nice, which Overhangs and protects
the walls and window openings. The
house is planned for the smallest ar
rangement consistent with the needs
and the convenience of a small fami-
ly 1t has but one chimney md but
one outside entrance.
Little details effect the size Of
rooms and Of the building, and there
fore the cost. They are sometimes,
and Of necessity, Influenced more by
economy than by convenience; but by
careful study they may often be made
consistent with both. 1t is ecOnomi-
CAL for instance, to have but one out
side entrance to this house. With this
entrance nearest the barns and the
