KeplviiiR to a questionnaire sent out by the "Pennsylvania Lewie of om"i Voters to all candidates for delegate. Mr. Utter wrote he favored abolition of the poll tax. ns a qualification for ut infr", and then added : "I favor abolishing the poll tax as a qualification, but think if possible. Toting should be made compulsory, for the larger the citizenship and the smaller tlie vote, the greater the corruption. Philadelphia Is especially concerned In the proposed revision of the lonxti tutlon for the reason that among the proposals to be considered will be aboli tion of magistrates on the ground they arc judiclalb unnecessary and reall. only fcerve as adjuncts to the urganir.a- Anothcr proposal Is thut the fee sys tem which is one of the Issues in the fight of the Voters League against the combine in the present primaries, cmilc. be abolished by constitutional revision. A State law. which sought to abolish the fees received personally by the Itegistcr of "Wills, was declared uncou eUtutlonal. ..... i Still another point is that the sevcra' Courts of Common Picas could be merged Into one court. This merging contemplates having a President .Tudgc ns the "bo8 of all the Common Pleas Judges, so that cases could be more equitably distributed among tho Judges, thereby preventing congestion in some courts and idleness in others. Independents consider ns an evil In tho local judicial sytem the fact the Judges have the power to make such Appointments ns to membership on the Board of Revision of Taxes, thereby giving them power over such mntters as Uio appointment of real otnto as sessors. It is proposed that the Con stitution be so ieviel that Judge would be relieved of all appointment having nnytlilng like a political flavor A larger measure of home rule for PJillndolphin will be another item on tho revision program. It Is nrgued by op ponents of the organization that it hhould not be necessary to run to llar risburg to get necessary Philadelphia legislation any more than that this city should be continually fiunl by the pros pect of ripper legislation coming from tho State Capitol. i Would Eliminate Distinction A constitutional convention could also eliminate the legal distinction be tween city and county offices and thu bring county offices, now the meeting places of combiners, under the civil wrvice the same as urc all offices under Mayor Moore.

Warburton. hnirman of tho Republican Women's Committee of Pennsylvania; Mrs Clarence Ilenshnw, chnirmaii of (he Democratic Women's Committee, and Mrs. John O. Miller, chairman of tin Pennsylvania Lengue of Women Voters joined in a call to the women of (he State to help in making the convention movement a success. Thomas Patterson, one of the candi dates for delegate in Allegheny County proposes the short ballot. "In my thought," snld Mr. Patter- -son, "there is no more important chnngt whlch the future of our State needs,' Indeed Imperatively demands, than the ' shortening of the ballot. In Doru's II-. lustration of Poe's Itnveu, there is a llgure of n man struggling through n room filled with curtains, whose soft, folds sweep down upon him nnd defy his greatest efforts to clear them away. "The struggle of this tensu, urgent figure against these ' yielding yet in- sitent enemies is suggestive of the struggle of the American citizen against j the baffling, persistent, destructive, forces which defent his purpose. Strangled by Italiot "He the nvcrage citizen wnuts the right to succeed, want tlio best gov ernment he can get, wants justice to prevail; but can get nowhere, do noth ing effective, ns long ns lie is strangled by the blanket ballot. Not one-quarter of the names at a glance, are known to the voter, and even the functions of the offices to be tilled nre often unknown. "Experience hns shown that upon a great question which is understandable and the subject of discussion, tho con clusion of the people is nlwnys strongly upon ethicnl lines. Hut the citizen falls, in the ordiniirj work ns an elector, at State ami municipal elections, because it is beyond his ability to deal with the complicated ballot ued at present. "Here is the occasion where the pro fessional politician functions, nnd the rosultnnt effect is the net of those who make their living out of tho very com plexity of the mnchinc which they have helped to create."
