The administration OF the criml.
nal law is improved. The provision
Of the federal constitution with refer
ence to bail Is adopted-'eXcessiye
bail shall not be required Civic or
CARNATIONS, public officials and judges
Of our courts told the convention that
the provision Of our present constitu.
ton guaranteeing bail in all but CAPT
tai cases was promotive Of crime and
created disrespect for law. Hardened
criminals are released and continue
their depredations. Bail Is made dis.
cretionary with the courts. Neither
| Is this new nor radical. 1t has a..
ways been the law in the federal
courts, II Is the law in many states.
| The states attorney, by leave OF
court after showing of probable
cause, may file an information in all
but capital cases. The accused, ex-
cept in capital cases, may If the ac-
cused desires, be tried By the court.
| The criminal laws may be enforced
more certainly and more speedily.
There will be but one election day
each year--the first Tuesday after the
| first Monday OF November. This
means u saving Of millions of dollars
in public expense.
improved accounting methods for
state and county funds are provided
| for.
These are the principal changes.
There are others, including the grant
| ing of full suffrage TO women, abol-
lshing the fee system for justices of
the peace, the allowance of ten mil
lion dollars additional for the deep
waterway and others of less impor-
lance.
NO one pretends that the constitu-
ton Is ideal, but it must be considered
as a whole. 1t cannot be considered
piecemeal. II mistakes have been
made they will be more easily recti-
| fed than under our present constitu-
ton. In practical effect our present
constitution is unamendable. An
amendment to only one article can be
submitted by each session Of the gen
eral assembly. Under the proposed
constitution amendments to two artl-
cles may be submitted. The amend
ing article is liberalized. Needed
changes can more readily be adopted.
IF the proposed constitution Is re-
jected no further convention will be
called within the memory of mature
men of today. In such case we shall
| be compelled to continue under our
old constitution with all of its de
fects and with its inelasticity OF
amendment.
''In general, the new constitution
! follows the present one. No ancient
landmarks are etfaced. The conven-
ton did not believe that this was the
time to make a radical revision of the
method of government. 1t sought
merely to modernize and liberalize the
constitution adopted fifty-two years
ago."
