(Continued from Page 4) In a report of the activities of the Farm Bureau published in the Carth- age Journal, Mr. J. H. Lloyd. farm adviser, says that the Counsel: of the __ Farm Bureau prevailed so much with 9" the convention in the construction . of the Revenue Article that if the constitutiOn is voted by the people it will stand for the next half cen- tury as a monument to the diligenceI the fairness and the Intelligence of the Farm Bureau. In the same re- port he says the organization exerts great influence on each legislature and is now being heard in the na- tlonal Congress. Its object is to' make the organization a living force in the county, the state, and the na- tion. The Farm Bureau of Illinois are the ones who want it ratified. This means that corporations. or "big interests” were rqpmenwd in the convention. Corporations are. in- ‘deed, persons, and in some instances have the rights of natural persons. but they do not elect delegates to‘ constitutional conventions. H sec- tions of the- proposed constitution are‘ more hvorhle to corporations than tothopeopleofthemuflnn some ,ldehgltes were unfaifllfial to their but uni yielding to corporation pres- are betrayed the people. long ago it an cynic-11y aid tint every mm In: his mice.

Best Quality Service a former debate who votes accord- ing to the instructions of the Farm Bureau may be honest, but we cannot believe that a delegate who votes at the bidding of a corporation manager can he disinterested. Corporations expect to he paid for their commod- ities or labor, and it is not unremnv able to infer they will pay for work done at their request. more are many' laws of the state and nation that, when held in the strong light reveal the seal of a corporation. Such laws were enacted by nominal mp- resentatives of the people. in reality they were enacted by representatives I(if a group. Statutes may easily be revised, but a fundemantal law so‘ long as it exists is immutable. The ‘delegnte who sacrifices the people for §some benefit to be received from a corporation commits an irreparable injury to the people. It is no slight charge, then-fore, against the conven- tion to assert. as some newspapers have that corporations and “big in- , terests" are desirous of the ratificaâ€" tion of the proposed constitution. It is a reflection upon the integrity of .deiegates, and is a confirmation of ‘ the popular belief that they were ‘ subservient to powerful groups. ]' WALKER DICKE Painting Phones 380-! Ind 123â€"1!

It is funda- menm that. the primary object of a state written constitution at the present time is to limit. the powers of the legislature. Limtiation was ialways advisable. It is absolutely necessary today. In every part of the state and country are groups clamor? ing for special laws. And in every‘ slate are representatives who for the sake of retaining other are willing to propose and to aid in enacting such laws.

A constitution is not a statute and should not be constructed‘ according to tests that are sufficient for I statute. The great, important searching question to be asked with regard to the proposed constitution Mr. Woodward, president of the convention, said, “the true test is as to whether or not the proposed docu- ment is better adapted to the condi- tions of Illinois as they now exist than the constitution of 1870'!" This is an utterly inadequate test. Condi- tions at het present time are temp- rary and abnormal.
