THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

One of the big questions of the day
is as to when the Illinois constitu.
tional convention shall be called
where 1t shall be held, and how the
102 delegates who will sit in 1t are to
be chosen are among the most impor.
tant questions that will come before
the new Illinois legislature that as
sembles in Springfield Wednesday
Jan. 8.
II is conceded that the proposition
to call the convention was ratified on
Nov. by majority of the total vote
cast Of at least $4,000. There seems
to be no doubt but the new general
assembly, following its constitutional
duty, will pass the enabling act that
fixes the date and place for the assem-
bling of the convention, prescribes the
method Of electing the 102 delegates
fixes their compensation, and makes
appropriation for the expenses Of the
convention.
Already there are symptoms that
there is to be hard fight over this
bill.
The constitution of 1870 provides
that two delegates shall be elected
from each senatorial district as they
now exist.
Here is where the first argument
seems to have arisen. Close con-
struction of this section, It is claimed
in some quarters, prevents the non
partisan election of convention dele
gates, and requires that delegates
shall be nominated in party primaries.
Politically, as the districts now
stand, there are nineteen districts In
Cook county, six of which are clearly
Democratic and thirteen undoubtedly
Republican. Downstate there are only
four districts out of thirty.two that
are Democratic, with twenty.eight Re.
publican.
This would seem to indicate that II
is the Republicans who object to the
non.partisan system of electing dele.
gates. The objection, however, comes
from Democratic quarters, chiefly
from Democrats who will be in the
next legislature, who are lined up AT
all points against woman suffrage and
who fought the constitutional conven
ton proposal at all stages Of its legis
lative progress.

BUSBY FOR
BEr1ERMEN1

Willingness to cooperate in any
movement that will better the trans
portation system of Chicago was ex-
pressed by Leonard A. Busby, presi.
dent of the Chicago Surface Lines, in
a statement to the city council COM
mittee on local transportation. The
aldermen were considering Mayor
Thompson's recommendation that for
fixture proceedings be brought be-
cause Of alleged failure of the surface
line companies to comply with the
terms of the 1907 ordinances. The
mayors contentious we're riddled by
Walter L. Fisher, traction counsel for
the city, and Mr.. Busby.
Tho service is now the best which
1t is practical to maintain under exist
ing physical conditions, and separate
ownership and operation Of the sur
face and elevated lines" said Mr.
Busby.
THE reason we cannot get better
service during the rush hours and
carry more people with greater speed
and comfort is that 1t is physically i'm.
possible to operate more cars during
the rush hours in or through the con.
gested down town district. These con-
ditions in the down town district i'm.
pose limitations on the service out.
side this district, for the reason that
the main trunk lines from the outlying
sections of the city nearly all run into
or through this congested territory.
THE congestion in the territory
from Chicago avenue to 22d street,
and from Halsted street to the lake
is increasing every year, and traffic
conditions are growing worse.
THE only solution practicable is the
unification of the surface and elevated
lines, and the construction Of subways
through the congested territory. We
cannot stop where we are. A solution
Of the problem must be found.
II wish to make 1t plain that the
surface line companies will cooperate
with the city in any plan which will
furnish better conditions"

Where a family has to be considered
a car should serve many purposes and

the sedan, the all season, all family car
