Stacks, A Dentist. . > 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 said, “and re strictions placed around the expendi ture of money by tne wisdom of Bob Toombs might be withdrawn.”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.
