Albany. April T. --Fresdent Root laid
great stress IN his opening speech to
the constitutional convention to-day on
the duty of the delegates to refrain
from experimenting with the laws, and
bend all energy to simplifying and
bringing UP to date the present Constl-
tuition.
He said the state should take from
the great corporations the lesson OF
conservation OF resources. economy OF ex-
penditures and effectiveness of action.
He said there IL great demand among
thinking individuals for these amend
mcnts to the constitution:
Fewer elective state officials.
Consolidation of state depart
ments.
Home rule for cities.
pruper conservation OF forests
and development OF water powers.
Budget system of state fnanc-
ing.
Among other important changes
thought possible are the following
Increase Of the Governors term
to four years.
Increase of the state Senators
term to four years.
Increase OF the terms OF As
semblymen to two years.
Increase OF the pay of legislators
from $500 TO $4,000.

Close Work Needed.

Mr. Root said
The most obvious duty before us IS
to scrutluize attentively the framework
of the State government In order to as
certain in what respect II any the es-
tablished institutions are insufficient or
nl-adapted to accomplish the ends OF
government
Great changes have come IN the in
dustrlal and social life OF tn. state
since the last convention. To attain
the ends which every one agrees ought
TO be attained. 1t appears necessary that
government shall interfere tn a much
greater extent than in former times with
the complicated and interdependent life
of the people. The business which gov
eminent is required 10 undertake mas
vastly increased. both In magnitude and
variety. and there Is a widespread feel
ing that In some respects the business
OF the government has outgrown the
organization OF government
Many thoughtful citizens consider
that our system of taxation, appro-
priation and expenditure of moneys
which worked very well In simpler times.
Is now quite inadequate. Many think
|, that the strictly municipal interests "
our great cities require more prote' ton
is afforded In the present Cons,itu-
ton. Many think that the natural re-
sources of the state, particularly the
forests and water power. should be
brought under system OF conserNa-
ton and utilization having the stability
OF q constitutional basis.
