 long out of date. Ours should go the way of the others.
 Suggests Committee
 "I recommend that you submit to tho vote of the people the question of whether or not a convention should be held. prescribing in the resolution submitting the question a plan of ap- portionment of delegates to the con vention. If you submit the question, I suggest the creation of a commission composed of. for example, 35 citizens of the state, drawn from the worthy members of such groups of cur peo- pie as the farmers, the business men, the educators, the bankers, the doc tors, the bench and bar, the press and organized labor, whose duty it would be to study comprehensiyely and in detail the provisions of the present constitution in the light of modern thought and conditions, in order to secure for the people of the state a constitution best suited to their needs and most conducive to their welfare.
 ssThe report Cf the commission should contain in detail such recom- mendations as to the continuance, discontinuance or modification of existing provisions, or the adoption of new provisions, as the commits sion, from its investigations and study, shall deem advisable and proper. It should further contain drafts of proposed changes. The re- port should be submitted to the governor and by him transmitted to the constitutional convention. It should be made a public document The services and report of such ccm- mission would materially lessen and shorten the work of the constitution al convention, and would afford a most valuable basis for the delibera- tions ef that body.
 T have suggested in this message several needed amendments to the constitution. This recommendation for convention Is in lieu of the others"

 The giant coffe urns, each hold Ing 10000 gallons and heated by 8 steam engine, likewise became the mecca of the thousands, who, as they received meat and bread, went on to complete their menu with a cup os steaming coffee.

BETTER FEELING IS NOW IN EVIDENCE AT
 NEAR EAST MEETING
By Associated Press

LAUSANNE. Jan. "A distinctly better feeling characterized todays proceedings on the Near East con ference. Full agreement has been reached on all points except those of the amnesty, exemptions of Chris tions in Turkey from military serv- ices, and national homeland for the Armenians.
 The indication is that the first two of these problems will be settled by private negotiations and incorporated in the projected tfe1ey but the solution of the last named problem appears hopeless for the moment at least.
 Ismet Pasha chief of the delegation from Angora told the conference to- day that Turkey could not admit of any discussion touching on na- tional homes either for the Armen= ians or the Asyria -Childeans.
 We have firm conviction" he said in dignified manner. that the measures we have taken In Tur- key for future will heal all wounds and that everybody in Turkey wilt work together. Our motto is: An indivisab1e and harmonous father land
