I The formation and adoption of a, new constitution Is necessary to the welfare of the Btate and Its people, and to obtain that end a constitutional - convention should be authorized Amending To Easy , j " 1 "It has long been felt by lawy ers, raid Senator Hare, 'that be cause of the Initiative and .refer endum It haa become so easy ; to .. amend the constitution that It .has come to contain numerous " .statutory provisions.

' Relative to his eonsoHdatioa bilis Senator Hare said: I , "The people are demanding an . elimination of officers and 4i6t a . reconstruction .of the administra tive offices, boards, and. commis sions.. All, of .these : offices and depltVtmehts v doubtless perform some , useful '; function, land when ever, an attack is made on them, strong opposition is encountered. Under present conditions It is ray belief that the state should be rid of. all office holders who can be i v dispensed wltlt- without vserlotw ; iujury to tho .state.

Into , departments which would iu a short, time assume such . pro I'ortlons that, they would become Btronger - than ; the legislative branch of the government. The congress now has great difficulty In- controlling the departments of the federal! government, and in many Instances has been render ed helpless i by reason of the strength of, a department. As our various! boards and commis sions now are they must stand or fall on their own merits. It is my purpose to abolish as many of them as I can become convinced itould be killed off." IUMs Kumarized Senator Hare summarized his bills as follows: . First, an' act to abolish the ttato corporation commission and . - . j . it.. i . iransiers us uuuns 10 mc secre tary of state, r .
