SENATOR cuNTows AMENDMENT.


Senator Clinton has submitted to
the General Assembly a constitu-
tional amendment proposing split
sessions OF the Legislature.
It is the intention that at the
first session that bills be proposed
and that after an interval of several
months that the subsequent session
pass or reject such measures "a may
be dictated by the wise considera-
ton to which they have been sub
jected during the interval.
We think that the amendment
should become law. Under such
a system there would be better OPP
portunity to digest and discuss pro-
posed laws, and under its operation
very few bad laws would run the
gauntlet of public opinion, which
would by this system have opportu-
nifty and time to examine in detail
proposed legislation.
Under the new system it is not
probable that such miscarriage of
justice could occur as did occur in
the Walters case.

admirably adapted for these indus
tries and that his department is
ready to cooperate with those who
show disposition to diversity. He
is anxious that there be a conven-
ton Of our planters and local organ

may be obtained to be used in pro-
noting marketing facilities and
should such a convention he held
will either attend in person and send

all of his little friends on Friday
evening at delightful party, and
which was attended by practically
all the little folks in town and Vi

Split Session Of the Legislature.

shreveport JOurnaD
There are several features of the

important being found in the fact
that nine months will be allowed
for the people of the State to
study the various measures present.
ed, make up their minds as to
what is good and what is bad, and
instruct their representatives in the
Assembly accordingly. Then, after
the people have had an opportunity
to carefully weigh the legislation
proposed, the Legislature will take
up their tasks and perform them
intelligently-fresh from the people,
who know what they want. Know
ing the will of the people in regard
to every important question, the
Senators and Representatives will be
in position to give force and ex-
preston to the wishes of their con-
stituents. The Clinton measure con-
tains a provision for the distribution
Of copies Of all general laws pro-
posed-every newspaper, every pub

nicipal officials will have copies of

them at their leisure. There will
then be no excuse for delaying ac-
ton upon any measure on the old
and time-worn excuse that the
people don't understand it." The
Clinton measure appeals to us as
having sufficient merit to warrant
