when deciding whether or not to include this in the

2

Constitution. In deciding whether to include it in the
|
3
|
new Constitution, it seems to me that we have to keep
|
4
|
in mind that we want a well organized Constitution. We

|
intend to have great improvement over the organization

of the Constitution itself as well as the provisions.

We don't want any obvious inconsistencies which have

Constitution.

I say it is very inconsistent for the

Constitution to say that you can't have a lottery grant

this type be outlawed, then there ought to be some
|
19

consistency and there ought to be other types of
|
20
|
gambling outlawed in the Constitution. Other provisions,
