l. AND R.NEASURES OCCUPY ATTENTION
Amendment Will Be Submitted to People Raising the Percentage Nee essary to Refer Laws-Two-Third
 for Emergency Clause.

Little Rock, July 25.-By a vote of 6S to 35 the constitutional convention on Wednesday afternoon incorporat- ed into the constitution it will submit to the people the Reynolds substitute for the committee recommendation on the Initiative and Referendum by which the per centage on an initiated act is raised from eight to ten, and on constitutional amendment, from 10 to 12. This followed an afternoon of debate, and many amendments being offered. One amendment adopted pre- vents a veto of an initiated act by the governor.
 The vote on the adoption of the Reynolds substitute was 65 to 38, but when it came to accepting it as part of the constitutional draft, three votes were changed from a nay to aye, Arnold, Hays and Jones. Two others changed, but later requested to return to a negative vote, which was granted. These were Delegates House and Mitchell. The entire Pu- laski county delegation opposed the Reynolds amendment.
 Mir Reynolds spoke for consider able time on his substitute for the committee report, declaring that it was a proper safeguard on the Ini- tiative and Referendum. Mir. Partain of Franklin and Smith if Pulaski op- posed the measure on the floor. MT. Smith opposed any limit to the num- Der of measures or constitutional amendments that may be submitted at any time. Mir. Futrell declared this would make any constitution un- stable.
 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. MT Bates sought to remove this restric tio1, but Mir. Reynolds explained that the legislature has defeated the vii of the people on many occasions by attaching the emergency clause ano thus escaping referendum vote or the bill. The amendment was then l defeated.
 In the original substitute only four amendments to the constitution at any election was provided for, but Mir. McRae offered an amendment in- creasing this to six, three to be off cred by the people and three by the legislative body, and it was adopted
 Efforts were made to prevent the clincher in the form of "motion to reconsider the vote by which the sub stitute was adopted and lay that mo- tion on the table" by motion to ad- journ for the day. This was voted down and CarlLee offered motion to adjourn sine die to prevent it go ing on second time.
 The division of Logan county into two counties, one to be known as Evans county, was forever silenced by Judge Evans withdrawing the pro- posal.
 The convention in the forenoon clinched the Daggett amendment tc do away with the dual houses of the General Assembly and spent the bal ance of the morning arguing on g graduated land tax.
