| strongly favor the four pro.
posed constitutional amendments.
The rights and duties of munich
pal and private corporations will
be better understood and much
expense will be saved to the cor
porations and to the state if
amendments |, 3, and A are
adopted.
When | vas a practicine lawyer
| was often painfully impressed
and annoyed with the want of
common sense displayed in our
court system. The second pro-
posed amendment will remedy
one defect. No business man
stops his operations because of
the sickness of his manager,
when a substitute can easily be
found. Why should the state
waste its money and subject its
citizens to serious losses because
of the sickness of a judge when
it is easy to supply his place.

Answering your inquiry of
August %: | am heartily in
favor of every one of the propos-
ed constitutional amendments.
The first one, though entitled
Restricting Local and Private
and Special Legislation, should
really be entitled IAN Act to En-
large Local Self Government"
The plan is simply to give the
people of the counties authority
to settle for themselves hundreds
of matters about which they are
now compelled to wait on the
Legislature for action.
| am also in favor of the second
amendment which will authorize
the Legislature in its wisdom to
work out some plan to save the
state and its citizens from loss of
time and money when sickness
prevents a regular Judge from
holding court.
AS Or. Kemp P. Battle we'll
says: mo business man stops
his operations because of the
sickness of his manager when a
substitute can easily be found.
No less valuable are the third
and fourth amendments which
would prevent special charters
to corporations, cities and towns,
but would provide instead one
general law for all such charters
thereby insuring equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
