ueE COnatttUAO0 ZOE CONSTITUTIONAL
conventions one for every lo-year
period.
Helena Paper lily Informed.
The morning paper of this city
In an editorial in an issue OF last
week also declares against a con-
stitutional convention and warns
the people against hasty action.
maintaining that the people
should have ample time to decide
first. The editor Of this paper has
evidently failed to inform himself
upon the procedure provided for
the calling Of such convention.
AS provided in the present consti-
tuition It is thus:
The Legislature can only sub
NIT to the voters of the state the
question, Shall we have a con-
stitutionai' convention or not?'
This sto be voted upon at the
next general election. two years
hence. If the vote results in the at
firmative. an election shall be held
for the selection Of the members
OF the convention: this could not
be done under three years hence.
The result or findings of this con-
vention, az embodied In the con-
stitution adopted. must be again
submitted to the people for their
approval or disapproval. Four
years hence or nearly 81 years
after the adoption of the present
constitution. This gives almost
unlimited time for consideration
by the people.
1T would certainly seem that
the people Of today are better fit
ted to enact a constitution meeting
the needs Of the present, than
were even the brightest minds Of
80 years ago fitted to provide for
us today
