The Amendment.

MIR. EDITOR: There is an amend
mcnt to the State Constitution to be
voted on at the November election,
that is a very important one. We, q
think) ought to discuss it, let us know
what it is, and what effect it viii
have, etc.
The amendmont is to strike out
Section 2, Article 10, in order to get
rid of these words which is virtually
all the section. "There shall be cleo
ted bi-ennially in each cpunty, o. e
school commissioner.
This, as / see it, abolishes the
Office of said commissioner, as q con-
stitutional one, / think it wise to do
this. The Legislature may provide
for one, or it may not. 1t has been
suggested that tho Office be given to
the Probate Judge with very slight
increase Of his salary-some think
we might have one for each circuit
on congressional district.
think the trustees Of the county
might elect ono of their number
county chairman, and he might be
virtually school commissioner, with II
small por diem for the very few days
he would be compelled to work III the
Office.
Let us hear from to editors, law
ycrs md all concerned, On this.
Remember there is no additional
tax to the people to run this Office, it
is simply to save the school funA
If this amendment is adoptcd we
will havo to keep our school cmmis-
sioner for two more years, I am sor
ry to say at least SO | think.
Respectfully,
