THE NEW CONSTITUTION

Office of lieutenant governor. An
amendment to the old constitution
creating the office Of lieutenant
Governor was largely defeated in
the General election of 1914.
The new constitution provides
for two additiona. members of the
supreme court. An amendment to
the old constitution providing for
two additional members OF the su-
prcme court, submitted in the re-
cent general election, got about
enough votes in the entire state to
wad a shotgun.
The new constitution provides
that cities and towns may issue
bonds. An amendment to the old
constitution providing that cities
and towns may issue bonds has
been submitted to the people OF
Arkansas three times in recent
years and has always failed to re-
ceive their endorsement.
The new constitution provides
for enormous increases in official
N salaries, as shown in last weeks
I paper. Senator B. H. Greathouse
\ of Washington county, in a letter
addressed to the public. estimates
that the increases in salaries pro-
4 vided for by the new constitution
\ will amount to tax upon the state
4 treasury of almost 100000 every
Z year.
N The new constitution provides
that public officers, both state and
county, shall hold for a term Of
y four years instead of two years.
N But the now constitution does not
y provide for the recall Of public Of.
n ficers, so that should a bad man be
elected to Office he could be remov-
ed without the necessity Of waiting
1.-TWO, three or four years for an elec.
n tion to roll around. The politician
lis as afraid of the recall as the
average man Is of a rattlesnake.
The new constitution provides
Nthat county scrip shall be redeemed
according to the date of its issue.
NOf this feature the committee of
delegates in pamphlet urging the
adoption of the new constitution,
Bays: This will prevent persons
with large holdings Of scrip having
agents at the county seat knowing
Just when the money comes into
the treasury, drawing it out upon
their warrants and thereby pre-.
venting others who hold scrip get
ling their money at all. This pro-
vision prohibits the payment Of
scrip to anybody unless there is
eufficient money left In the treas
ury TO pay all warrants Of prior
date"
NM That is a wonderful statement,
The grown man who does not know
that this provision OF the new con-
etitution would promote scrip mo.
hopolles instead OF destroying them
ought to be bored for the slmples.
ne man who gets a monopoly on
the scrip Of a county does so by
Duyine up the scrip already issued
