Objections to Constitutional
Convention Answered. The
Men Behind the Move
ment.

There can be no valid argument
against constitutional convention.
The prospect of securing any one of
the following reforms amply justifes
the calling Of convention; the revision
of the amending clause of the Constitu-
ton SO as to make our fundamental
law at all times responsive the will of
the people; the abolition of the fee sys-
tenn, which has demoralized office hold
ers, corrupted elections and despoiled
our treasury; the elimination of needless
offices and too frequent elections; the
revision of our system of taxation so as
to distribute the tax burden equitably
and to encourage industry; the revision
of that section Of our Constitution
which gives to the accused in criminal
prosecutions the right to trial by an i'm
partial jury of the county in which the
crime was committed, with the result
that the more heinous the crime the
less is the prospect of procuring jury;
the reorganization of our whole judicial
system in the interest os justice,
economy and expedition. Barring the
abolition of the fee system none of
these reforms can be secured except by
constitutional amendment.
The necessity of convention cannot
be disputed. But reactionaries always
raise objections. They say that times
are too unsettled for a change. This
objection has been raised against every
progressive movement, but it lacks
point. The greatest constitutions in
history have been written in times of
revolution, when the minds of men
were burning with Indignation against
the evils of misgovernment. No, the
danger with US is not that times are
too unsettled, but that they are too
settled and our perceptions of truth and
justice too blunted by selfish CONNER
cialism. Our greatest trouble is not
emotional excitement but moral stagna-
ton.
The last refuge Of those opposed to
the convention is to traduce its advo.
Gates. So we may we'll inquire, who
are behind the movement? We can
eliminate the chronic Office holders;
they are not behind it. The fee grab
bers are not behind it. The railroads
are not behind 1t. No corrupting in
fluence in our State is behind the move
ment. The advocates Of a constitution
al convention are the wage-earners, the
manufacturers, and the broad-minded
business and professional men of the
State. They are not moved by selfish
considerations, except as Ii may be
selfish to strive for the establishment
of justice.
Every man who works for his daily
bread, who has nothing to hope for
from injustice, extravaganza and OPP
preston, is or should be an advocate
of constit utional convention. Every
man who puts political pie above patriot
ism, who profits by the evils of mis-
government and who reaps where he
sows not, has cause to oppose the con-
vention. Il is patriotism, progress,
economy and justice on the one side,
and antiquated ineficiency. spoils,
ignorance and indifference on the other.
Where do you stand?

WALLA WALLA SEEKS
TO SAVE BUILDINGS
Since Fair Association Has Offered
Equipment for Sale City Is without
Place to Hold Celebration.

An effort is being made in Walla
Walla' to save the fair grounds and
buildings. Since the directors have
advertised for bids for the lumber in
the fences and buildings and have
announced their intention of dispos-
ing of the land in order to meet in
ebtedness, the city and county faces
the prospects of being without a place
to hold any kind of a fair celebra-
ton
According to a statement given out
yesterday by two Of the directors, ac-
ton might be stayed by businessmen
taking up $4,000 or $4,000 worth
of bonds now in the hands of John
Ankeny, trustee. who is ready to is
sue interest bearing bonds secured by
firt mortgage on the property as
soon as the present mortgage held by
James Dacres is paid.
James Dacres has first mortgage
against the fair grounds property for
$4,000. on which no interest has
been paid for two years. The action
of his attorneys in warning agains;
foreclosure proceedings. caused the
recent action of the fair directors.
Mr.. Dacres is willing to accept
bonds in payment of about $4,000 OF
his mortgage, and other unsecured
creditors have expressed willingness
to do likewise The other debts of
the association include such items as
a $4,000 lumber bill; $2500 for erec-
tion of bleachers and buildings $4,000
owing George Drumheller for the
first Frontier Days exhibition: big
insurance and interest bills and 9TH
er funds advanced for running ex-
penses; nearly $1,000 printing bill,
etc.
