stretches in Mexico.
The trip furnished one of the
most strenuous tests to tires that
have ever encountered" writes Mr.
kingsley. MY car was equipped
with Aka Y inch Federal castings and
the one set of tires came through
without blemish of a serious nature
Six thousand miles is not an abnor-
NAL mileage over good roads, but
when you consider that I was travel
and on damaged roads for the re.
mainder of the distance, the record
is a remarkable one.
There are absolutely no repairs for
tires in that part of Mexico and part
of the time I rode on tires stuffed
with grass. The tires were GENERALLY
under-infiated because I was unable
to secure anything but a bicycle pumr
for that purpose. l carried Just -four
castings at the end of the trim In

broken thread visible in any OF
them"

The derrick is already up and
the machinery is being put in

dorsed BY rising vote.
Whereas the connection of Bro.

our very sincere regret over the
serious gap that is being made in

For a number of years he has
rendered most faithful and efficient
service in every department of

has bound himself to us in the
cords of love and Christianity and
fellowship and will be soreIy miss

Be it further resolved that we
heartily commend him to the
Methodists of Baton Rouge and
congratulate them upon this dis.

OPEN LETTER TO
GOVERNOR HALL
SoIOman Wolff Suggests Plan For
New Constitution Without
Convention.
BUT MUST SUBMIT TO VOTERS

OeDUtluUSl OS IOIO.
Hon. Luther E. Hall,
Governor of Louisiana,
Baton Rouge, La.
Dear Sir:
Several causes are assigned for
the defeat of the proposal to hold
a convention to enact new Con-
stitution for the State. Perhaps
the cause which contributed most
to the defeat was the fear-justif-
ed or not-that the Constitution
which would be prepared by the
by the delegates, would not be
what the State wanted, and, there
fore, 1t was useless to incur the
expense Of holding a convention.
Not withstanding the defeat, it
is probably that the great ma
| iority of the citizens of the State
recognize that Lew Constitution
! should be had. Indeed many
PERHAPS a majority-think it
absolutely necessary.
If a new Constitution be indeed
necessary, or at least desirable,
and the voters refused to call a
convention for that reason l have
given, then | beg to suggest that
the plan which | will here outline,
may meet the difficulty.
The plan is that you name a
Commission of-say twenty-five
thoroughly representative men,
we'll known and esteemed through
out the State. Let these men pre-
pare the draft of Constitution;
then call the Legislature in extra
session, submit the draft to it, and
if the draft prove satisfactory, 1t
could be submitted to the voters
at the next regular election, to be
held in April 1916, as an amend
ment to the present Constitution.
| propose that the commission
shall serve without compensation
The comparatively small sun
which would be required TO
clerical labor could easily b.
found, either by an approprla
ton, as;sshat be not bad, b.
tris -Jmp0st
picked men, could without mucl
, difficulty prepare Constitution il
thirty days after being named
1t could do that within the tim,
given, and at the same time allow
ample opportunity to all who
would like to be heard on the vari.
Gus provisions of the proposed
/ Constitution.
An extra session of the General
Assembly to consider the draft
would, | believe, be far less ex-
pensive than a Constitutional Con-
vention, and the voters of the
State would then have a Constltu-
ton submitted for their approval
at comparatively small expense
to the State.
l respectfully submit this plan
for your consideration.
Yours very truly,
SOLOMON WOLFF.
