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

THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

One of the big questions of the day
is as to when the Illinois constitu.
tional convention shall be called,
where It 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.
It 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 distriLts 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 It
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.
