lAA Opposes Convention Call 



(Continued from page }) 

 stitutional convention in 1918. In 1922 

 it submitted its report. Of 1,106,696 

 votes on the proposal, only 18,298, less 

 than 17 per cent of the total vote, were 

 in favor of adoption of the proposed 

 constitution. If a constitutional conven- 

 tion is called, any attempt to amend the 

 present constitution would, of course, be 

 delayed. All such questions would be 

 deferred to await the report of the con- 

 stitutional convention. 



The cost of holding a constitutional 

 convention is estimated to run between 

 12,500,000 and $4,000,000. It would 

 require three sf)ecial statewide elections, 

 a special primary election for the nomina- 

 tion of delegates, a special general elec- 

 tion for the election of delegates and a 

 special election for voting on its report. 



The Association doubts whether a con- 

 stitutional convention should be held un- 

 der present conditions. People are pre- 

 occupied and giving full attention to the 

 war and problems resulting from war- 

 time conditions. In the immediate post- 

 war period, attention will be devoted to 

 the problems of readjustment. People 

 will not give the time, attention and con- 

 sideration required for changes in our 

 basic law. 



Would Delay Action 



Since it app>ears that the calling of a 

 constitutional convention at this time 

 would not accomplish any constructive 

 results, would entail the expenditure of 

 large sums of money, would only serve 

 to delay action on and solution of our 

 more serious constitutional problems and 

 would thrust new burdens upon our dis- 

 tracted and preoccupied people, the As- 

 sociation urges the General Assembly not 

 to submit the question of calling a con- 

 stitutional convention in the general elec- 

 tion in 1946. Instead, the Association 

 urges the submission of a Gateway 

 amendment and making its adoption pos- 

 sible by re-enactment of the party circle 

 method of voting on such constitutional 

 amendment, which method was used 

 from 1870 to 1890. 



Safety Campaign 



A "brake-emphasis" campaign is being 

 sponsored by the International Associa- 

 tion of Police Chiefs with assistance of 

 49 other national groups, April 15- 

 June 1. 



A simple brake test will be given mo- 

 tor vehicles involved in an accident, 

 stopped for traffic violation, or indi- 

 cating defective brakes. A block one inch 

 thick will be placed under the brake 

 pedal. If, when the pedal is depressed, 

 it is stopped by the block before the 

 brakes grip, the operator will be in- 

 formed that his brakes need attention.
