Again
The People Speak
By PITCAIRN
National Chairman
-Sentineis of the Republic.

An event Of unusual import to those
who would tinker with the United
States Constitution has occurred re-
Gently in Pennsylvania - the state
wherein our National Charter of Liber-
ties was conceived and written.
There, for the first time since recent
efforts to remould our Federal Con-
stitution along the lines of the 1--WE
political philosophy gained national
given opportunity to say what they
thought of that sort Of thing.
Emphatically they rejected the idea.
Dominated by the vote from rural
districts and the smaller cities, they
decided that this was nc time to risk
the possible writing into fundamental
law of various unproven theories now
being urged throughout America as q
substitute for crystallized experience.
The people of Pennsylvania. of course.
voted only on the question of revising
their own state constitution. But funda-
mentally-and despite whatever politt-
cal spokesman or either side may claim
some Of the principles involved were
comparable to those brought into prom
inence by the nationwide efforts OF
certain groups to remould our Federal
Constitution into a form more readily
Influenced by passing fears and passions.
In the response may be read a
h%eartening message of encouragement
to all who oppose efforts to scrap GER
tain essential elements of our American
system of government in favor of new
and untried theoi1es. It is:
That the great body of the people
the men and women who constitute the
backbone of A~merica-are not at this
time in sympathy with a policy of
sudden changes. They realize that
while it was the Declaration of Inde-
pendence that proclaimed personal Lib
erty, It is the Federal Constitution that
assures it. They do not intend to sur
render that guarantee.
Again-the People speak.

SUBWAY PLANS,
REFERENDA HIT
SNAC BY KING

Two matters of major impor.
tance to the District, now being
considered for presentation to
Congress by individual District Of.
ficials, will have to overcome the
opposition of Senator william H.
King CD Of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee, be-
fore they can become law.
One is the proposal by District
Commissioner George E. Allen
authorizing referenda by tho
people Of the District on various
controversial issues.
The other is the proposition
which Peoples Counsel William
E. Roberts said he will sponsor to
provide a system of subways for
certain street cars in the District.
Opposes Referendum
The District Committee chair
man bases his opposition to the
Allen suggestion on the grounds
that there are at present Sut-
ficient methods whereby the Com
missioners can obtain the Senti-
ment of the people Of the city
on any question concerning the
local government.
Senator King said that through
the various citizens associations,
business and other civic groups,
the Commissioners should be able
to determine what the people want
here.
Commissioner Allen has asserted
that he will make the proposal
on his own initiative, the other
Commissioners having declined
thus far to make their positions
on it known.
Raps Subway Plan
To Mr.. Roberts recommends
tion for replacing some of the
street cars with a subway system
in the downtown area as a means
of bettering traffic conditions,
Senator King said:
81 don't know what the cost
would be for this subway, but
regardless, there are many other
improvements which Washing.
ton has been needing for some
time, more than that project. 1
