Nothing more fair. on the face of

postal savings 1t is the same, and the
working man who invests his money
in that way must pay his whole in

Writing for a recent issue Of The
Citizen. William Dudley Feulke out
lines the need for a new state consti-
tuition, as follows:
Our citizens should be given far
greater liberty than they now possess
to frame their own governments.
Our cities, too, ought to have more
liberty than they have today. Our
theory hitherto has been that the
cities are mere agents of the state in
performing certain municipal func-
tions. But city is a more natural
political unit than state.
The line divividing Indiana from
Ohio Is imaginary. The line separat-
ing the city from the country and dis
tinguishing urban life from rural life
is very real.
$50 far as we can, we ought to give
local sovereignty to these local COM
munities. 1t is proposed by some that
cities shall have power to adopt some
one particular form of commission
government, with or without the ref.
erendum, initiative and recall. A city
needs more than that.
"A city ought to have the right to
develop the form of government it
wishes, and not be limited to one or
two models offered to it by the state
Local conditions vary greatly, and
local institutions should conform to
conditions.
More Veto Power Needed.
"The executive of Indiana ought to
have more power than he now pos
sesses in vetoing the acts of the legis
lature, and the provision that he may
veto any clause or item in an appro
priation bill and approve the rest OF
the bill is also in line of better gov
eminent.
THE provision that the administra
tive officers of the state, as we'll as
county officers, shall be elected by
the people is injurious. Nobody can
know the qualifications Of a large
number of candidates for whom he
votes.
Popular government is most effec
tive when the people vote for the head
of the ticket and for their Legislative
representatives and leave details OF
