NO CONVENTION
Better to Vote on Amendments
Three by Three.

To the Editor OF the State Journal:
Ohio has a state constitution adopt
ed in 1852. 1t became untitled for
the times, but whenever a new con-
stitution was submitted to the voters
it would be defeated; some opposed
to one provision, some to another and
the aggregate of those opposed to in
dividual clauses being sufficient to de-
feat the instrument as a whole.
A new constitutional convention
convened some six years ago adopted
the plan advocated by Mr.. Troutman
in a recent number of the State Jour-
nal. Over fifty amendments were ap-
proved by the convention after full
debate. They were numbered and a
copy was sent to every voter in the
state with a brief argument append
ed to each amendment, giving the
reasons for its adoption.
The voter was thus allowed to vote
for or against any one or all of the
amendments. All but one or two of
them were approved and the state got
what it wanted and needed, a new
constitution in reality tho on it's face
it dates back to 1852.
Had New York profited by the ex-
perience of Ohio that state would
have a new constitution in reality by
securing am endments to the antiquat-
ed instrument.
