Need New Constitution.


THE question Of a new constitution
for this state has been seriously agi-
tated for some time and various
changes in our scheme of state gov
eminent have been proposed. If the
time should come when the neople
will be called upon to adopt 6 new CON
stitution which shall express The fun
danlental law Of the state the effects
which have been attained under our
present scheme of government should
be traced logically 10 their true cause
before we attempt 10 remedy the sup
posed defects by new basic law.
Laws IN themselves are not 4 mana
cea. whether they contain grant Of
power and privileges or impose re-
strictions upon the individual. IT il
only TO the extent that we avail our
selves Of the grant or comply with
the restrictions that law becomes to
any degree q panacea.
Serious Study Needed.

there are no imperfections in either
