Atlanta. Ca. Nov. l7-Next Tuesday the
House Of Representatives viii undertake
70 settle one Of the most important ques-
lions to come before it. The bills by Mr.
Houston to elect the judiciary by direct
vote of the people. and Mr.. Hopkins to
place the appointment Of the judges and
solicitors in the hands of the governor
have both been set for considera ton at
thai time The second bill for election
by the people by Mr.. Henderson has also
been included in the special order for
Tuesday. All these have been adversely
reported by the general judiciary commit
tee which makes it possible for q majority
vote Of the House to settle the question
by an agreement to the recommendation
If the committee. 1t would take two
thirds vote to pass a bill on an amend
ment to the constitution being involved.
The present indications are that the leg
stature will refuse to give up the priv
lege Of electing the judiciary, despite the
objection and dissatisfaction at the sys-
TEN. The action of the judiciary commit
tee is a strong evidence of the sentiment
cf the House. This committee exercises
more influence on legislation, both as d
body and Individually, than any
other committee of the legislature, and
their opposition to a change in the method
Of choosing the judiciary Of the state Is
formidable.
