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>\.W9fib»j,ii»j»ijutni-(
mously opposing the movement i*
commented on with no great
W. R. Power, warrant secrc^rj- *o
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 soon.
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Toombs might be withdrawn.”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 .pffioial 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 fund?, ’, he
pointed out, "we are hampered ’. by
laws enacted 35 years a£o. .(’insti
tutional revision is necessary to cor
rect these evils.”
OtHer “evils” indicated were the
creation of new counties and new city
courts, the rhultlplhattoh Of judicial
circuits and the present method of
amending the Constitution.
