new CONSTITUTION
ASKED BY PEPPER
Member Of Commission Answers
Congressman Craham's De-
nial Of Necessity
CALLS NEED INEVITABLE

George Wharton Pepper. answering
the recent statement by Congressman
George S. Graham opposing constitu-
tional revision at this time. says a new
constitution Is now an Inevitable ne :
cessity, meaning a saving to 'i.!Sants of
many millions Of dollars, ana will cor
rect Mt least three vital defects IN the
present Constitution.
Mr.. Pepper was a member OF the
Governors Commission on Constitu- :
tional Amendment and Revision. which
has suggested many important changes
to be made in the present State Con,
stitution.
1t is Mr.. Peppers opinion that
Pennsylvania needs a new Constitution
now and that there neve. was time
in the history Of the State when people
were better qualified to decide a con-
stitutional revision.
Graham Saw No Need
Representative Graham declared that
he knew. of no vital amend
ment called for at this time ;
that there was no popular de-
mand for a convention to revise the
Constitution that "No one can predict
where a Constitutional Convention held
under chaotic conditions in the bushes.
and industrial world would lead us,
and that well established construction
of the present Constitution passed upon
in appeals to the highest court Of the
State would be destroyed and the way
open for endless litigation.
IF the objections offered by Mr.
Graham" said Mr.. Pepper. fairly
represent the opponents Of revision. the
opposition ought not to be very formid
able. When a man who has not studied
the subject says he is unalterably op-
posed to revision it merely means that
he has closed his mind-not that he has
closed 1t wisely.
1T has been suggested that present
day conditions are too chaotic to under
take safely constitutional revision. ]
am of the belief that, relatively to the
days that lie ahead Of us. these are
days of peace and quiet.

he knows of no vital amendment called
