1

that you should spell out, that you should incorporate

2

certain limitations on the powers of the court? Do you

3

have any line of demarcation between what should be left

4

and what should not be left?

MR. ENEY: No. I don't think it is possible

6

to draw a line. The general concept of the Constitution

7

is that it shall create the organs of government and

8

spell out broadly and very generally their power, but

9

all matter of detail and insofar as possible, all matter

10

that is subject to change, as times and conditions

11

change, should be left to the Legislature so that you

12

don't have to amend the Constitution every tine circum-

13

stances dictate changes.

14

JUDGE CLAPP: Aren't some things so serious

15

they should be a matter of constitutional change?

16

MR. ENEY: Yes. That is why I asked Mr. Red-

17

den the question, doesn't he think the question of whether

18

the Orphans' Court jurisdiction should be exercised by

19

the Circuit Court or the People's Court is a matter of

20

that moment. I gather he did not. His point is whichever

21

court exercises it, ought to be on countywise basis.
