THE CHAIRMAN: Any other delegate desire to
speak in favor of the proposal?
Delegate Mason?
DELEGATE MASON: Mr. Chairman, I rise to speak
in favor of this proposal. I realize that the constitutional
purists will say that this matter is legislative.
I would like to call the attention of this
committee to the judicial article that we just adopted,
and I am sure that the same constitutional purists will
say that this article contains a considerable amount of
legislation.
I believe there are 28 states that have consumer
protection legislation, and New York, which enacted this
legislation, I believe, in 1959, in their recent consti-
tution included a provision for consumer protection in that
constitution.
I think this is something that we should also
include in this constitution.
I concur with the delegate who said, let's put
someheartin the constitution, and I suggest that not only
should we put some heart, let's put some soul in the
