STATE OFFICE REVISE RATE CASE IS From Atlanta Go to Gaines ville for Ceremonies. Subdued expressions around the State Capitol indicate a general de sire among officeholders for a revision of the Georgia Constitution of 1877. The action of the Bar Association at Warm Springs last week in unaai- mously opposing the movement is commented on with no great favor. W. R. Power, warrant secretary to the Governor, was outright in his ad vocacy of a constitutional convention. Referring to the opinion of the Bar Association, he admitted the time might not be quite ripe, but said it was coming, and coming 9oon. Phil Cook, Secretary of State, said some parts of the Constitution un doubtedly needed changing, but ef forts in that direction would meet with opposition. “The great fear of revision is that the bars might be let down to the State treasury,” he said, "and re strictions placed around the expendi ture of money by tne wisdom of Bob Toombs might he withdrawn.” One objection to the Constitution pointed out by the Secretary of State was its lack of simplicity, because of numerous amendments. The Legisla ture proposes amendments each year, which are invariably ratified, he said. A State treasury official said the State was twenty years behind in its fiscal policies, and a constitutional re vision was the only possible correc tive. “In handling State funds,” he pointed out. “we are hampered by laws enacted 35 years ago. Consti tutional revision is necessary to cor rect these evils.” Other “evils” indicated were the creation of new counties and new city courts, the multiplication of judicial circuits and the present method of amending the Constitution.

The hearing is expected to last three or four days. Notables Are in Attendance. Among those who arrived in At lanta this morning to attend the hear, ing is Milton H.

The railroad company's argument was opened by Sidney J. Bowie, the plea being made that the enforcement of the 2*2-cent rate by the State of Alabama, under orders of the Ala bama Railroad Commission, is uncon- stiutional in that it affects interstat: commerce over which the State eom- I mission has no control.
