The Passing Of Spring Elections.

WHAT THE LAW INCLUDES AND EXCLUDES.
The more the bill abolishing spring
elections is examined in the light of the
decision by the Supreme Court in the case
of the Macarthur bill, two years ago, the
more appears its constitutional defects.
In the opinion written by Judge Garrison,
a change in the election law should apply
to voters rather than to the municipalities.
If the object of the bill were to benefit the
voters, then no class of voters could be ex-
cluded from its advantages. The act must
be general, to treat all alike.
The classification in the new law is simply
cities. There is nothing in the government
of city to make its voters different from
the voters Of towns and boroughs, in the
matter of elections. Some difference might
be claimed in the case of first-class cities on
account of density of population or for some
other reason, but the law includes all cities,
great and small.
Except in name there is no difference in
population or character in places included
in the law and places excluded by it. A
few comparisons may be cited. Under the
bill these places Of nearly equal population
are set off against each other, one class to
hold elections in the spring, as usual, and
the others in the fall:
