CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION HAS
M.H ORDERED
SUBMITTED TO A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE AT
THE NEXT REGULAR ELECTION
IN NOVEMBER.
The question of submitting to tfao
peoplo a bill to provide a constitu
tional contention was threshed out
In tho house. Mr. Ducbaaan ar
gucd that tho old documont was tery
Inconsistent, and needed repair In
many ways. Speaker McArthur made
a vigorous npeech for tho bill. Ho did
sot admit for a moment that tho log
Inlatlro blacksmith at Oregon City
was to bo the sole authority for tlnk
erlng with the constitution. Orton
mado a strong speech against tho bill
Ho admitted that tho constitution
needed frequent changes, but said a
lot of politicians wanted to framo up
a lot ot very bad propositions. The
present system enabled the 'people to
get what they wanted, and get It the
way they wanted It, and when Un
wanted It. MoKlnney mado a strong
plea for an upto-dnte constitution.
IId said emphatically the peoplo are
tho power In this stato. and those
who aro not prepared to .admit that
will havo their scalps taken from
tKorn. Tho same people who mado
our present constitution and all Its
nmondmontH would make the ne
constitution. Medio showod that
the prmont constitution provldud
that if n new constitution was to be
adopted, this vory bill Itself must bo
nubmlttod to tho peoplo "tho doar
peoplo of tho state that Mr. Orton
was so anxious about "
Mr. Calk Inn thought the bill gooj
and It was necessary to havo consti
tutional convention at least onco In
fifty years In most well-ordered com
monwealths Tho people, as a who
tihould bo represented In tho rovhlor.

Mr. Honebrake said this bill was
