FOR A CONS TiTOTioNAL coNvEM.
TON.

The Chicago Eagle calls on all good
citizens to fight for new State Con.
stitution. The Citizens Association
voices our sentiments when It says:
1T is universally admitted that the
present Constitution Of Illinois, adopt.
ed forty.three years ago. has long
been cutgrown; and that the slow and
dificult process required to amend It
has for many years seriously retarded
the progress Of the people OF the State
by depriviIg them Of the power to
properly meet new governmental
needs arising from the changed condi.
lions. The accumulated evils arising
from this situation have now become
30 numerous and acute that adequate
relief can be obtained only by revising
the Constitution In such way that It
will cease to be q hindrance to good
government. Such necessary reforms
as 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
undermining 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 off. One.
third OF the membership OF either
house has Deen able effectually 10
block any desired change in the Con.
stitution. The irksome restrictions
imposed by the present Constitution
bear down upnn Chicago with almost
crushing force. Because OF them Chi.
cago is compelled to maintain, at a
vast unnecessary expense, three sep.
arate and distinct governmental
bodies covering practically the same
territory; viz: the City, County and
SANITARY District. In our opinion the
time is ripe now for holding a Con.
stitutional Convention In Illinois a.
the best means Of affordina adequate
relief TO the people Of the City and
State. At the next session Of the Leg.
islature we will do everything In our
power 70 bring about the calling OF
such Convention, which this Asso.
citation has fsv-red for many years"

the greater part OF his life In an at

erature to the current magazines. He
was born in a high caste Hindu FAM
