THE constitution OF the state OF Tex
as is q pieccd-up. patchwork al
fair. which has been amended thir-
lty-cight times since 1883. according
to Representative c. @. Laney Of
Dallas who. with Senator J. G. Nc
Nealus, also Of Dallas. viii support
concurrent resolution dsmaalins
a constitutional convention, for the
Framing OF new basic law to meet
modern requirements and conditions.
Approximately 500 measures
have seen introduced to amend the
constitution in the last ten years,
says Laney, and the courts have
VIRTUALLY amended ii many times by
decisions. It has been emasculated
| by amendments and Judicial decis-
ions until the result IS a lahsrinth Of
uncertainties, which deprives the
document OF even prima facie evil
dence Of being a constitution"
Among the changes which are
NEEDED, Laney believes, are amend
lments to change the homestead law,
reduce the number Of members of
the lower house. increase the power
OF local self-goyernment. and remod-
iel the present cumbersome system
which the legislature uses.

"The sleep of the laboring
man" says an ancient says, "is

works hard need pay very little
attention to his diet. He eats
heartily, but Uses up his food in

No man who goes. into the Dem

N%cers should vote for John M.
