 Representative Tubb Crepublican), of Winston:
 "I believe d new convention would be nearly as cheap as the cost of submitting to the people 10 or 12 amendments to the constitution. Therefore, I favor a new convention"
 Representative Spessard of Marengo:
 '1 think the state needs a new consti- tuition, but l would be opposed to calling convention at this time" Representative Grayson of Madison:
 "The present constitution has num- Der of limitations and restrictions that fear would be eliminated by a consti- tutional convention, to-wit: the limitation upon the rate of taxation and the clause against increasing the bonded indebted ness of the state. Also the suffrage ques- ton has been settled to the satisfaction of the people, and l fear a new consti- tuition might unsette 1t. The voluntary poll tax feature of the present constitu- tion has worked well and no white man is disfrar. chised unless he is unwilling to contribute something to the education of his own and the children of the state. A | new constitution, I fear, would change that few amendments would make the l changes that are absolutely necessary l Representative Thompson of Butler: We are in need of constitutional convention Put me down as being for | one"
 Representative Roberson of St. Clair: "A constitutional convention for the
 progress of the state is necessary, in my 1 opinion"
 | Representative Chamberlain of Mobile | T believe that we should make pro-
 visions for a constitutional convention However there is no telling what this | legislature will do.'' Representative Ryan of Cullnan: "A constitutional convention may be

CARMICHAEL FAVORS
 A CONVENTION

Speaker Carmichael of Colbert: q am in favor of a constitutional convention. think new constitution is necessary. There was time when I thought that many things should be written into the constitution. Now, however, I am in- clined to the English belief. that is, that very few things, and all of them cardinal principles, should be included At the present time. our constitution is becom- inS patchwork affair We should go over the entire document There is no ar gument against convention However 1t is said by some, and they may be right that the present is not the time that the political mind is not norr all
 "At any rate, l am for a constitutional convention, and believe that such q cor vention would do a great deal or good"
 Representative Rogers of Sumter
 'The state needs a new constitution that we may be able to inapSurate a bet ter school system. Every legislature sub mits amendments to the constitution on the subject of education.
 "Thc state needs new constitution that fuller privileges for self government may he granted to growing communi- ties like the mineral districts of Alabama.
 The state needs new constitution that the state may put on foot system of longtime credit and cheaper money for the rural sections of the state.
 
 that the judicial system of the state may be thoroughly overhauled and more nearly perfected
 "In general terms we need a new con stitution because the present constitution puts toe many limitations upon the growth and progress of the state" Representative Tunstall of Hale:
 q am opposed to a constitutional con vention because changes in our organic laws should not be made except under normal business conditions. Representative Brindley of Etowah
 We need new constitution, or many amendments to the old constitution. I do not think, however. the state is vet ready for a convention. The plan that I would approve would be for the governor to call special session of the legislature for the purpose of submitting about 40 or 30 amendments to our constitution. By this method we would be able to make many needed changes in our constitution, and at the same time not run the risk of having a new constitution defeated upon it's submission to the people"
 Representative Merritt of Macon:
 "I think the state needs d new consti- tuition, and I base this statement upon the fact that q dozen or more amend nents to the old constitution have been proposed at this session of the legisla- ture But l do not think this Is the time to call convention" Representative Vaughan of Montgom- cry.
 "Our present constitution seems to be a patchwork. and l believe we could hold new convention almost at the cost of holding an election on the various pro- posed amendments that have been of fered at this session. I think it would be | well for this legislature to call con- vention.'
 Representative Smith of Crenshaw: i T would favor a convention if we | could get picked men to write our con | stitution."

MORROW'S DAUGHTER
 IS BITTEN BY DOG
Annie Louise Attacked By Bulldog As She Is Riding to School
 On Bicycle

Annie Louise, the 9-year-old daughter of Senator and Mrs. Hugh Morrow, was attacked by a bulldog while riding a bicycle on her way to school yesterday morning and was bitten on her arm. The child was taken to her home and medical aid summoned, and while it is stated that she was badly frightened she is not seri- otlsly injured, so far as the wound is concerned, unless it develops that the dog was suffering from rabies.
 Senator Morrow stated that the opinion seemed to be that the dog was vicious rather than mad, and that it had been taken in charge by Dr. A. II. French, veterinary surgeon, who will keep it for 10 days and watch it for symptoms of rabies. The dog Is owned by Rienzi Thomas, who not only expressed deep re- gret at the occurrence but has rendered every assistance in his power to the little sufferer

CONVENTION NOT
 NOW ADVISABLE

Representative Bradshaw of Lauder dale:
 Tn my judgment a new constitutional convention would not now be advisable. While there are many needs for a new convention, we all know there is a strong sentiment in favor of repeating the 3 mill tax for educational purposes in the present constitution. We are now sub mitting to the people an amendment pro- viding for local taxation for schools. regard this of paramount importance. Un- til the rural schools have become firmly
