ConaoMadsnll
governor that the Constitution,
already amended M times by
the people, needs an overhaul
ing. But most ef the committee
member seem opposed to the
governor's Idea of having
convention, elected by the peo
ple, writ a new Constitution.
Some members would like
to h.ov the Legislature sub
mit to the people series of
amendment to brine it up to
date.
Some think it would be even
better to have the Legislature
write a new Constitution and
put It before the people. If this
were done, the people would
either have to accept or reject
the whole document.
Some lawyers think, how
ever, this Utter method would
be illegal. They claim that only
a convention could submit an
entirely new document
The committee seems to dis
trust a convention, fearing It
might come up with a worse
Constitution than the state
now has.
The legislative members of
the committee think the Con
stitution has too many restric
tions on what the Legislature
can do. Those restrictions were
put there by the people, who
might not like to remove
them.
For instance, the Constitu
tion won't let the Legislature
put an emergency clause on
any tax measure. This makes
all tax measures subject to the
referendum, and give the peo
ple the last word on new taxes.
Most legislators would like to
be able to pass tax bills with
out having them go to the peo
ple. Some lawmakers believe the
Constitution contain more
liw than constitution, and they
would like to take ell this law
out of It They point to the
liquor by tbt drink amend
ment, claiming It should be In
the law books instead of In the
Constitution.
The Constitution contains
obsolete matter that is ignored,
such as fixing the governor's
salary at f 1,500 a year. He gets
10 time that much.
Another obsolete provision
say that in elections, the peo
ple shall vote by vole vote.
The state has had the secret
ballot for many years.
It also provides penalties for
giving or accepting a challenge
to fight duel.
Some believe the Bill of
Bights should be expanded by
giving equal rights to women
giving labor the right to or
ganize and bargain collective
ly, and end giving absentee
soldiers the right to vote.
Others would give more
power to the governor, letting
him appoint the ether top state
officials who now are elected.
And some would make it
harder to amend the Constltu
tion. It now can be changed
by majority vote of the peo
ple.
Gov. Patterson told the com
mlttee the state will have I
ble growth, and that the Con
stitution should be changed to
meet this growth.
The committee faces a huge
Job, as It will have to analyze
each section. At the same time,
It will have to study all the
court decisions interpreting
each section.
After all. the Constitution is
only what the courts say it is.
The governor suit minus me
state needs so .Mir. new
Constitution, and he'll probab
ly tell the next Legislature
that it's No. 1 on nis nsi oi
proposed legislation.

May Bs Good Year
To Fe:d Beef Steers
This may be good year to
feed a few beef steers says
Ben A. Newell. Price of feed
er cattle hav. eoma within the
ranfe of more western Oregon
farmers this fall.
Combine the price of feed
er with the large volume of,
comparatively coarse oat and
vetch, clover and fescue hays
on hand and we have a chance
for some practical feeding.
Usually yearling cattle will
make more efficient use of
course roughage than weaner
calves. Many hav. wintered on
hay alone and - marketed In
July and August from dry land
pastures and a month or two
later on irrigated land.
