hr WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMENR 5 1919 7 - Political aralily League Hears Address On Issues of Constitutional Convention "The women of the north shore can be a great power in influencing public sentiment," said Judge Orrin N. Carter to the Evanston Political Equality league, of which many north shore women are members, in an ad- dress on the needs and purposes of the constitutional convention, in the ballroom of the North Shore hotzl last Friday evening. "Although the women of the state of Illinois are not eligible to vote on the personnel of the convention which is to make the new constitution, thay are to live under that law for years and are therefore concerned in the character of the men who will be nominated in the primaries next month. In an election of this kind the axiom coined by Abraham Lin- coln in his debate with Stephen Douglas that public opinion is every- thing is particularly applicable. He who : makes public sentiment is great- er than the lawmaker for it is public sentiment that makes laws possible and secure. I believe that should women of this section become arous- ed and intelligently informed upon this subject. we will have a fair vote. "1 cannot too greatly stress," he continued, "the importance of this convention. Many important ques- tions will be considered, the suffrage among them. I am particularly in- terested in seeing something done on the short ballot. In a city like Chicago it*is impossible to vote in- i telligently because of the number of names appearing upon the ballot. Just where the line is to be drawn between elective and appointive of- fices, I do not dare to say. Perhaps if the chief executive and legislative offices were made elective and the rest filled by appointment, matters would he simplified. As to the judg- es, I believe that the public is going to demand that they be elected. Other issues to be considered are the reorganization of our jury system, the courts, the revenue and a new disposition of the religious question. "I should like to see," he went on to say, "the constitution submitted to the people in sections. The main body of the constitution at one time and the radical changes such as the initiative and referendum, suffrage, etc., as, separate articles. The con- stitution should not be allowed to stand or fall upon fate of one portion. "As to the qualifications necessary to the personnel of this convention," he stated in closing, "I don't believe that this assembly is the place for college professors, ministers or other man of one idea. They must be broad gauged, open minded, wide experienc- ed men of a judicial temperament, able to pick and choose and give and take. They must not be propagand- ists or men representing any special interests who Samson-like will tear down the whole structure if denied 'their own particular wish." FARMERS PLAN TO ~~ CUT LIVING COST A determined fight to force down the cost of living by establishing closer co-operation between the farmer and the consumer has begun in New England. Under the name of the New Eng- land Farm and Food foundation, with ample funds which they themselves have already pledged, prominent in- dustrial leaders propose to rehabili- tate agriculture in the district by in- jecting proper organization and dis- tribution methods into the business of food production. The waste of food products under | present systems, congestion of cer- tain products in one markeat while other centers are suffering from a scarcity of thed#same article and hoarding by profiteers are the par- ticular evils upon which the founda- | tion will center its efforts. Co-operative buying will be intro- duced and sustained by every possible | means; every short cut between arr er and buyer will be The foundation will i the efforts of such bodies ds alr ye aloi similar lin ole oa av: Gapped | by lack of finances.
