WEDNESDAY EVENING,
Newspaper Comment on Constitutional Commission
Newspapers of the State are
commenting widely and freely on
the new Constitutional Revision
Commission. Some of the extracts
are:
Philadelphia Press Governor
Sproul's Constitutional Commission
is broadly representative. It has
in its makeup members who are
highly capable and well equipped
for the work of revising our present
Constitution and writing a new one
that will be a great improvement
upon it and will satisfy the public
demand for a new Constitution.
While the task of the commission is
to investigate and report on the de
sirability of a new Constitution there
is nothing to prevent its going to the
root of the matter and reporting a
draft of a new Constitution for a
convention to consider and accept,
amend, or reconstruct, as its judg
ment dictates. Such a preparatory
draft supported by a report giving
well-considered reasons for the
changes proposed would very greatly
facilitate the work of a Constitu
tional Convention. Some of the
members of the commission that
make the draft, would doubtless be
members of the convention and
prepared to expound and defend
their work. Large bodies are good
for deliberation and discussion, but
it is small bodies in committees that
do tile real constructive work in
every deliberative assembly, and
here would be nothing unusual or
irregular in having the work of the
Constitutional Convention formu
lated in advance for its approval,
modification or rejection.
Philadelphia Inquirer—Governor
Sproul has shown breadth of spirit
in selecting the members of the
commission to recommend changes
in the Constitution of the State of
Pennsylvania. Taken in its entirety
it is an able body, without too much
intellectual aloftness and yet com
petent in the highest sense to do its
very important work. Naturally
political lines have not been drawn,
and it is interesting to note that
the two Fennsylvanians who happen
to be members of the Cabinet of
President Wilson have been called
upon to assist in the revision of the
fundamental laws of the Common
wealth. Beside the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States we have
the Attorney General of the State, a
former Attorney General, the City
Solicitor of Philadelphia and other
eminent lawyers. The Governor
has not made this cntirelv a
lawyers' commission, but has includ
ed educators, the State Banking
Commissioner, a business man and
banker, journalists, farmers and
two notable women. Thus it should
,be possible to frame a document
j from other than purely a lawyer's
I standpoint. Most of the members |
of the commission are practical per
, sons who have had experience in I
various walks of life and they I
I should be able to produce an instru-;
1 ment that will meet the demands of j
I the time and of the future. There !
I has been some opposition to the re- I
I vision of the Constitution in this j
State on the ground that conditions I
were too unsettled to permit of a j
J calm and unbiased consideration of j
i the document. Fear of radicalism
| has prompted conservatives to urge
I a postponement, but it must be re
j membered that this commission
I merely recommends changes. They
must be approved by the Legislature
land that cannot be before 1921, and
jit will be 1923 before they are voted
j upon by the people. It will be seen,
i therefore, that there will be ample
i time for a full and comprehensive
| discussion of the subject. The mem
i bers of the commission are charged
!to study the Constitution "in the
| light of modern thought and condi
j tions." There is every reason to
feel that they will do their work j
well, but in any-event the people
| will have the last word on the sub- |
I ject.
I'liihuielpliia Record—The com- \
j mission appointed by Governor j
| Sprout to frame recommendations j
■ for changes will obviate the neces- j
I sity for another convention if its
['suggestions find favor with the I
! legislature, and subsequently with [
j the voters. The personnel is gen- j
I erally strong, with a tendency to
conservatism. As that is eminently I
• the temper of Pennsylvania, which
dislikes radical innovations of any |
kind, no fault can he found on that I
| account, it may be forecast that'
the commission, while urging im
portant changes in the Constitution,
will avoid those extremes to which
i many Western states have gone and
which do not find favor in the East, j
As all recommendations must be
submitted to a vote of the electors
the latter can pick and choose, ac- ;
cording to their fancy, without ap
proving or rejecting the work as a
whole. This seems a better plan in
some respects than that followed in
New York, where, after a constitu
tional convention dominated by
Elihu Root had presented an entire
ly new document, at an estimated 1
cost to the taxpayers of $1,000,000,
the voters rejected the new Consti
tution overwhelmingly. The com
mission has over a year in which to
complete its work and in that time
ought to be able to agree upon
changes which will meet with popu
lar approval.
Philadelphia Public Ledger—Gov
ernor Sproul, by his appointment of
the commission provided for by the
Legislature, has at last set in mo
tion the machinery for the long
needed exhaustive examination of f
the State Constitution with a view
to its future amendment or revision.
Under the terms of the enabling act
this commission is free to recom
mend either a piecemeal revision of
the State's fundamental law or the
submission of an entirely new
document. It is natural that the
personnel of the new Commission
should be closely scrutinized by
those who are hoping that Pennsyl
vania will by a revision of its consti- (
tution along enlightened and pro
gressive lines put itself abreast of
the times in its method of dealing
with social and economic problems.
Candor compels us to say that the
Governor's selections do not hold
out great promise of advancement
along these lines. He has chosen
able lawyers and publicists, most of
them of the old school of thought,
apparently in the fear that radical
opinion might enter into the coun
sels of the commission. Fortunately
however, the State will not leave the
final word on the subject to any ap
pointed commission. Its work must
of necessity be advisory to the elect
ed convention which should be call- .
ed to do the actual work of revising
the old or of creating the new con
stitution which the Commonwealth
requires. Such a commission is es
sential to prepare the way and ac
cumulate the material. But no con
stitutional proposals which bear the
e rmarks of reaction, or which oirflt
provision for municipal home rule,
for a revision of our tax laws, for
the protection of women and chil
dren in industry and for the simpli
fication and unification of the ad
ministrative structure of the State
government can hope to receive
serious consideration at the hands
of the convention, the summoning
of which by the Legislature of 1921,
to which this commission must re
port, may be taken as a foregone
conclusion.
Philadelphia Bulletin—The com
mission of citizens whom Governor
Sproul has chosen to examine into
all the questions pertaining to an
amending or a revision of the or
ganic law of Pennsylvania is not in
tended to be a sort of make-shift or
stopgap. It has been planned and
selected with the purpose of per
forming, with as near an approach
as possible to thoroughness and
completeness, an unusual duty in
the spirit of the wisest and highest
practical service to the Common
wealth. * * * In times like these
with their agitations over social, in
dustrial and political rights and the
manner in which the powers of gov
ernment should be fundamentally
defined, it is especially in order to
crystallize public opinion along the
lines which enable long steps in
progress to be taken without a sacri
fice of stability or an indulgence in
the merely experimental fancies of
the hour. The Commission is so
made up that there may be expected
from its members a wide recogni
tion of all opinions and demands
among the people as to the changes
which should be made in the Con
stitution or the new things which
should go into it.
Evening Ledger The "goodly
company of trusty and loyal Penn
sylvaniar.s" who constitute the
commission will enter upon their
task with full knowledge of what
they are expected to do. Radicalism
will have about as much chance with
them as the proverbial snowball in
the nether regions. And they will
doubtless represent the majority
sentiment of the State; for Pennsyl
vania is known for its conservatism,
even though Roosevelt carried it in
1912 against both Taft and Wilson.
There is no widespread demand for
a radical constitution. The men
and women chosen to make the pre-
TJAJRHIHBURTx TELEGRM
liminary revision arc the represen
tatives of those influences which
have hitherto prevented any kind of
a revision. They will go no further
than undoubted public sentiment
will force them to go.
Pittsburgh Dispatch—lt is general
ly conceded that some revision is
| needed, changing conditions in the
| almost half century making it neces
j sary. Prohibitions and limitations
I deemed conclusive in 1873 are irk-
J some in these altered days. Indeed,
jas the Governor said: "While many
i of these are wise, a liberal attitude
| upon the part of the courts has
) stretched some of the provisions to
i the breaking point, and there is great
confusion as to their interpretation."
The danger has been in constitutional
conventions called to overhaul an en
tire constitution that the good may
be tampered with while the obsolete
is being remedied. That has beerr
the experience of other states. It has
been deemed the safer plan to pre*,
fer piecemeal revision, thereby fo
cusing public attention upon one or
two things that can be thoroughly
debated at a time instead of involv
ing the whole document. This is
understood to be the function of the
committee of 25, to study and sug
gest revision needed. Its power will,
i of course, be merely to recommend
to the Legislature at its next session.
After that public opinion can form
intelligently on the course to be pur
sued, whether to have a convention
or to proceed with revision by
amendment, as has been done of late
years. The report of the committee
will furnish a basis for a thorough
discussion of the whole subject.
Scranton Republican—The Gover
nor's appointments to this commis
sion will commend themselves to the
people of Pennsylvania. They in
clude the Attorney General of the
Commonwealth, the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, and 2 3
others, among whom are the Secre
tary of Labor of the United States,
two women, former State officials
and judges, leading lawyers, former
legislators, city officials, newspaper
men and college presidents. Scran
ton is honored with a place on the
Commission, the selection being Hon.
John P. Kelly, former legislator, dis
trict attorney and judge, whose
standing and equipment as lawyer,
legislator and citizen admirably fit
him for this very responsible place.
The residents of cities will be grati
fied to note that the Governor has
added experts on municipal law to
the members of the Commission. It
has been realized for a dozen years
or more that one of the most marked
deficiencies of the present constitu
tion is the limited classification of
the cities of the State which have
evidently grown far beyond the ex
pectations of the men who framed
the Constitution of 1573.
Altoona Tribune—Governor Sproul
made admirable selections for
membership on the commission to
prepare material for the proposed
constitutional convention. The
names of the men and women named
by the Governor appeared yester
day morning. Jt would be "some
thing of a task to prepare a similar
list that would excel the one
selected. Republicans and Demo
crats, members of both sexes, rep
resenting varied callings in life, and
yet all well qualified for the import
ant duties before them, these ladies
and gentlemen will doubtless pro
duce a document which will be
modern in every respect and yet
free from the erudeness and the
follies that have become decidedly
prominent in certain circles. It is
generally acknowledged that our
present constitution, which, good
enough for the time in which it was
prepared, is now hopelessly anti
quated, needs to be superseded by a
more modern and comprehensive
document. One may confidently
look forward to the creation of a
constitution that will be a credit to
the State.
CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
A very successful meeting of the!
S. P. I. Q., the classical club of
Central High School, was held at
the home of Miss-Dora Billet, 438
Penn street. Miss Virginia Watts
gave an interesting sketch of the life
of a Roman boy. There were piano
solos by Miss Helen Balm and Miss
Margaret Martz and delightful as
well as instructive lantern slides of
Rome and Greece. Miss Nellie Aid
did a Grecian dance in costume. The
meeting closed with the entire club
singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee"
in Latin. The society comprises:
The Misses M. Katharine McXiff,
censor; Helen Bahn, Margaret Cun
kle, Edies Garland, Sylvia Gingrich,
Margaret Goodman, Elizabeth Har.d

An assembly of the school was
held recently when it was announced
that there would be only three issues
of the Argus this year in addition 10
the Commencement Number. Here
tofore four numbers were issued dur
ing the year with a Commencemert
Argus in June, dealing mostly with
the Senior Class. It is the plan of
the staff this year, by cutting the
number of issues from four to three
to make each one more complete.
The same amount of material' will
be put into three numbers that for
merly went Into four. The price of
the paper will also be changed. The
former price was seventy-five cents
for the four Issues during the winter
and a dollar f(tr the Commencement
Argus. The new price is sl. includ
ing the commencement number.
The S. S. S. Society met recently
at the homo of Miss Ruth Rarr 2<H
North Front street. Plans for an
S. S. S. reunion dance were started.

Tlte SUte Highway Department
has revoked the 1919 automobile
registration of Ix>uis DePerry, 41
Fernando Street, Pittsburgh, who
held license No. 352,971. The re
vocation came as a' result of a cer
tificate from the Public Service
Commission setting forth that
DePerry operated the motor vehicle
registered under license No. 352,971
as a common carrier of passengers,
without the approval of the Public
Service Commission, as required by
law. This was determined by the
Commission at a hearing held in
Pittsburgh, October 23. The State
Highway Commissioner, under the
act of July 9, 1919, has power to re

Biggest Invitation
For Road Work Made
TJie final invitation for bids for
State highway construction to be
asked in 1919 will include more
than 14 7 miles, r0 miles of which
will be readvertisements. The bids
will be opened on December 16 at
the State Highway Department and
it is believed that satisfactory prices
will be obtained. There are 61 con
tracts in 27 counties.
Some of the projects will connect
important existing highways and
some are on main routes. Fayette
county will have six sections and
Warren four. The largest single
contract will be over 57,000 feet in
Westmoreland county. This county
will have almost 100,000 feet.
