WHAT WILL 1884 BRING.

This is the question that is uppermost
in the minds of all. Yet, it is a question
that can no more be answered or ac-
curately predicted than can any other
happening of the future.
1t we had been told at the beginning
of 1888 just what would happen during
the year, we would have ridiculed most
of the facts as being fantastic dreams
We could not dream of such unusual
happenings as the bank holiday, remov-
al from the gold standard, the National
Recovery Administration, the unpre-
cedented power of tho President tho
speed of the elimination of the Prohi-
bition law and many other notable hap
penings of the year.
Upon the basis of the unusual nova
tions of the history of 1888, we can no
more predict the outcome of 1884 than
we can predict the end of the world
A vast amount of relief administration
is being executed to bring about better
conditions. Some of the efforts may be
good and some bad. Nearly all are ex-
periments without precedent of any sort
Public opinion is divided concerning
nearly every project that is being ad-
ministered.
What we do know for a certainty at
present is that we are marching forward
Progress has been made in throwing off
the depression. What has brought it
about from the many remedies of
whether it is coming about naturally, is
the subject of much argument between
pessimists and optimsts and between
partisan groups. The fact that
we are on our way to better con-
ditions is reason enough to base bright
j hopes for the new year. If such radical
! changes could be brought about in
such short time, there is no reason
! to believe that 1884 will not bring much
better conditions.
How it will effect each person is en-
, tlrely up to the individual for this is
necessarily time for hard work anc
/ dIllgent appliance to the problems at
/ hand.

conditions, new plans of action ana
established precedents so radically dll-
ferent and in such great number as ma!
never again be witnessed.
Outstanding above all else was the
great revolutionary measures brought
about in our govrnment. President
Roosevelt was given previously unheara
of power and authority in coping with
the problems that the great depression
had brought about.
Under this new power of action the
hank holiday was declared; the country
was removed from the gold standard;
millions of dollars were appropriated to
give relief to the needy sweeping re-
visions were made in the federal eXecu-
tive machinery; definite plans to raise
prices of commodities and manufactured
products were put into existence; cong
ress was whipped into the line OF quick
and certain action on needs of the hour'
and many other notable administrative
innovations were brought about
The nation pulled itself together to
shake off the shackles of depression.
The many plans now being carried out
have helped considerably and extent OF
their scope remains to be seen.
Many other notable happenings stood
out in the news of the year. The repeal
of the prohibition law was one of the
most important. The definite crusade
against lawlessness, kidnapping prac-
tically, has brought gratifying results.
Many criminals were brought to justice.
The attempted assassination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the Akron disaster, the
worlds fair at Chicago, the recog-
milton of Russia, unusual progress in
aviation, the California earthquake and
other unusual events contributed to
the eventfulness of the year.

LEGISLATIVE
NEWS LETTER
By DENNIS MURPHREE
Lieutenant Governor

The second week of the Legislature
has passed and that is the only thing
that has passed. No legislation of any
consequence has even been considered
At caucus held in the Governor
mansion last Thursday night several
members of the Senate and the Cover
nor agreed upon the provisions of con-
stitutional convention bill, which was
introduced by Senator Roberts Friday
morning and signed by twenty other
Senators.
The Constitutional Convention bill
provides for 124 delegates, tNo from
each of thirty counties, one from each OF
81 counties, four from Kinds county
one from each OF, the congressional dis
tricts, and one from each supreme
district.
Just how the representation of dele
gates to the Convention was determined
is not clear. For instance, Itawamba
county, with a population of 1925 and
assessed valuation of $1,723, ,466, is given
two delegates while twenty-four other
counties with larger population and
greater assessed valuation are given
only one delegate. The counties of
Carroll, Chickasaw, Clark, Jasper
Kemper, Lafayette, Leake, Marion, New
ton, Oktibbeha, Rankin, Sharkey, and
Winston each have more population
than Itawamba and more than twice the
assessed valuation and are given only
one delegate. The counties of Hum
phreys, Pearl River, Quitman, and Tuni-
ca each have more population than TIA
wanda, and three times its assessed val
uation and are given only one delegate.
The counties of Desoto and Lincoln
each have more population and four
times the assessed valuation of Itawam-
ba, yet they have only one delegate.
Tallabatchie county has nearly twice
the population and more than four
times the assessed valuation, yet Tai
lahatchie has only one delegate, while
ltawamba gets two.

be controverted. But the evils of the
prpesent document are known. Unwise
action by constitutional convention
can bring on a new train of evils OF
unknown extent.
f"Somewhere Shakespeare remarks
that it is better to endure the ills we
know than fly to those we know not Of.
at is on that theory, and on fear
that the present condition of the minds
of the people is such that they may fill
the convention with delegates committed
to unwise practices, that thoughtful op-
position to the convention is based.
Judge r. H. Thompson. celebrated
lawyer of Mississippi, in discussing the
present constitution several years ago
declared, that its chief fault lies in
limitations on legislative power which
reveal too great distrust of the law
making body.
"Whether the people will reveal any
greater willingness to trust the legisla-
determined when and if a new constitu-
ton is prepared and adopted.
There are many limitations in the
present instrument which must be re-
moved if the law-making bodies of the
future are kept pace with changing con-
ditions. The Legislature comes fresh
from the people every four years. The
control of its members is always in the
hands of the people, and it would ap
pear that the people should be willing
to vest in their own representatives suf
ficient power to deal with problems,
freed from the clutch of the dead hands
of the past.
Simple constitutions are the best.
The constitution of the United States
has endured for nearly $50 years be-
cause it enabled the lawmaking body to
meet and cope with changing conditions.
"If Mississippi is to have new con-
stitution that document should be brief
and elastic. 1t should set up form of
state government, protect the people
from the invasion of their personal
rights and liberties from any source, and
leave the remainder of power in the
hands of the representatives of the
chosen at regular intervals. Such a
document would endure for ages"
