Ten-Year Term Needed for supreme
Court Judges.
To THE EDIToR-Str: Your favor of re-
cent date asking my views as to the ad-
visibility of holding constitutional con-
ventlon, etc. is at hand. l do not feel
fully prepared to advise the holding Of
such convention. In the first place it
would be very expensive to the state, and
in the second place we have a very good
constitution. l confess that it might be
reformed in several respects. but could not
say that the reformations and changes
would justify the expense.
IL a constitutional convention should be
held there are several changes | would be
glad to see made. but will only suggest one
at this time, namely: That the supreme
judges be elected for ten years instead OF
six, and that one OF the said judges be
elected every two years That il one of the
judges shonid die. resign or be removed.

Reforms.

A Convention Needed at Once-Necessary
Reforms.
To THE EDIroR-Sir: 1 am OF the opin.
ion that We ought to have constitutional
convention at an early day. Among the
needed reforms that present themselves
to my mind just now are the following:
The election OF U. S. senators by the
direct vote of the people; fixing the terms
of Office OF county officers, to be in all
cases four years. followed by ineligbility
of the occupant for. at least, like period /;
the langthening OF the term of prosecut-
ing attorneys to six years. same as the
Judges. and an increase in the number of
our supreme judges commensurate with
the business before that court.
But Tor the confusion of records. titles
ETC., that would naturally follow, | think
for reasons that must be apparent to resi-
dents of small counties. and, in many in
stances to those of large ones. there ought
to be a redivision of the state into coun-
ties. THOMAS b. BUsKIRK.
