Muscatine, July flor course there
must be session Of the general as
sembly in 1902 said Senator George
NJ. Titus. author OF the constitutional
amendment. in an interview today.
There was no other intention of the
committee on constitutional amends
ments nor myself.
The talk which has suddenly arisen
to the effect that there can be no ses-
sion of the assembly in 1902 is viewed
by Senator Titus as absurd. In the in
5terview today he gives the following
explanations:
The purpose OF the amendment is to
provide for biennial instead of annual
elections. The amendments must be
construed in light of the balance of the 1
constitution. The constitution provides
for biennial sessions Of the general as
sembly. The amendment in no man
ner changes that provision with the ex
ception that it provides for session in
1903, which is the.new starting point for
sessions in the odd numbered years in
stead of the even numbered. The
amendment provides for the. election of
governor, lieutenant governor, ETC.,
lin 1902 and the 1903 session is further
more necessary as the constitution pro-
vides that the vote for governor, ETC.,
be canvassed by joint convention Of the
lhouse and the senate.
The members of the twenty-eighth
general assembly complied with the
provisions of the constitution in meet.
ling on the second Monday in January
following their election. The people
by adopting this amendment extending
THE terms Of the members and thereby
5suspending the election Of their sue
cessors until 1902 do not by such
suspension, change the provision of the
constitution providing for biennial.
sessions of the general assembly.
THE amendment further provides
| that the general assembly shall make
4 such changes in the law governing the
1 time Of election and terms OF Office of
all other elective officers as shall be
necessary to make the time of election
and the terms of office conform with
this amendment. These changes. in
GLIDING all county and township officers
A effected, must be made prior to the
4 general election in the fall of 1902. to-
wit: At the regular session in January,
1902.
This one point alone makes this
4 session absolutely necessary. Constru-
4 ing the amendment. then, in the light
a Of all the provisions of the balance OF
Il the constitution and the special direc-
4 ton Of the amendment itself, there can
4 be but one decision. and that is that the
d regular session Of 1902 must be held
4 .Furthermore, appropriations are
!. made for biennial periods only and the
4 regular session OF 1902 is necessary for
Il that reason. All the above matters
were carefully considered by the senate

q ments and suffrage and they We're

. pressed.
