Little Rock, July 25.-By vote of es to 35 the constitutional convention or Wednesday afternoon incorporated :,4o tho constitution it will submit to +bo neople the Reynolds substitute for tho committee recommendation on the initiative and referendum by which tbe percentage on an initiated act IS raised from eight to ten, and on constitutional amendment from 10 to 10 This followed an afternoon of de- hate and many amendments being offered. One amendment adopted pre- vents a veto of an initiated act by the governor.
 MT. Reynolds spoke for some time on his substitute for the committee report. declaring that it was a proper safeguard to the initiative and refer end,,n Mr. Partain of Franklin and Smith of Pulaski opposed the measure on the floor. Mir. Smith opposed any limit to the number of measures of constitutional amendments that may be submitted at any time. MT. Futrell declared this would make any consti- tuition unstable.
 The substitute contains a section preventing the legislature to attach the emergency clause to a measure unless two-thirds of those voting upon it deem it an emergency. Mir. Bates sought to remove this restriction, but Mir. Reynolds explained that the legis lature has defeated the will of the people on many occasions by attach ing the emergency clause and thus escaping a referendum vote on the bill. The amendment was then de- feated.
 In the original substitute only four amendments to the constitution at any election were provided for, but MT. McRae offered an amendment increas. ing this to six, three to be offered by the people and three by the legislative body, and it was adopted.
 Efforts were made to prevent the clincher in the form of a motion to reconsider the vote by which the sub
