BASIC LAWS HARD
FOR VIRGINIA BODY
Question of Authority of Com
: mission on Constitution
Raised.

Cpctidi blspaVu W iHc Sbdi.
RICHMOND. Va. October 16.-Just
how far the commission to suggest
amendments to the constitution may
go is a question raised with the first
sessions of that body, which is hear
ing a number of prominent men.
Whether it is in the province Of
the commission to make revision
Of the existing basic law or to present
a new constitution in the form of
an amendment are problems.
The present constitution. not yet
% years old, is almost obsolete. 1t
is said to be SO cumbersome that 1t
has often been referred to as code
instead of a constitution. COmmu-
mites are hampered by limitations.
There IS a demand that the require
ment regarding the payment of poll
taxes for three years and at least
six months prior to election be made
to read one years taxes and not more
than three months prior to casting
ballot. 1t is also proposed to change
residence in the State from two years
to one. AS it stands, because of the
tedious, cumbersome and involved
system. the vote Of the State never
reaches so per cent of actual strength.
Would Reflect Governors.
Another suggestion Is that the State
break away from the old regulation
that a governor could not succeed
himself. Whatever virtue the pro-
vision may have exercised in the past
has long since disappeared. BY the
time a governor gets into office and
acquires a real understanding of the
work. it is said, he is nearing the
end of his administration. 1t is now
suggested that the inhibition be re-
moved and that the matter be left to
the people. That ia meeting much

Thermos Bottle to Contain Supply

The only inconvenience of the APP

State enforcement Of liquor laws in
Maryla nd was made one of the cam
paign issues this week by Addison
r. Mulliken. Republican candidate for
governor.
In a statement he declared that
while he personally was opposed to
the Volstead law. there could be mo
difference of opinion among right
thinking citizens respecting the duty
of a governor to enforce the laws
of the State" He supplemented this
statement by saying the present liquor
laws on the statute, books of Mary
land were adequate to suppress the
traffic in the State.
This action on the part Of the Re
publican gubernatorial candidate
caused the association against the
prohibition amendment to withdraw
it's endorsement of Mr.. Mullikin, and
ask all citizens opposed TO the Vol
stead act to vote and work for the
election of Gov. Albert c. Richie
Mr.. Mullikin In his campaign speeches
this week has made no reference to
the wet" and dry" question. but
has confined all his efforts to attack
ing Gov. Richie on the Conowingo
hydro electric plant charter which
was granted to Pennsylvania capt
taIists.
Richie Charges Lie.
Gov. Richie in answering these
charges said that Mr.. Mullikin "lied
by insinuation" In charging that he
had "SOld out the people of the State
in granting the ConowingO charter.
Not in years has politics I'm Mary
land produced situations involving use
of the "short and ugly word" and its
use this early in the campaign is seen
by the politicians as indicating a
rough and tumble fight from now
until election day in which personal

of the Conowingo charter and declared
that 1t would have been impossible to

that the members of the board-to

The board would be required to name

age, and everything possible ought
to be done to head off this movement,
was the view expressed here today
by Rev. Crawford Jackson, general
secretary of the Juvenile Protective
Association, south-wide organization,
with headquarters in Atlanta.
Mr.. Jackson pointed out that the
crime record of youths under eigh-
teen years of age has grown much
faster in the past few years than the
increase in population warrants or
suggests. Following conferences
with judges of juvenile courts in a
number of cities, Mr.. Jackson an
