That term Of ONCE being for TN odd
number of years. has got to be altered
TO an even number OF years. and It
is provided for by the senators bill
No. 81. and by duplicate OF this bill
by Mr. Schweigcrt in the house. but
neither Of them has yet passed.
The reason these two measures were
put In separate bills is because ac-
cording to the Taylor amendment Of
last fail, all amendments must be sub
mitted to the people separately. so
that they may consider and vote up
on them separately.
Senate bill No. 317 is an amendment
to article 6. and applies to district
attorneys and county judges 1t ex-
tends the term OF Office Of all dis
trict attorneys In this state one year.
and makes them hold until January.
1905. and the county judges elected at
the election this fall will also hold
until January, 1905: and thereafter
each of these officers will be elected
for the term Of four years. This bill
also provides that the Legislature may
provide for the payment OF a salary
to each of these officers instead OF
fees. ns the constitution heretofore
provided.
Senate bill 3IS Is an amendment to
article ~. and applies TO all other
county officers. II extends the term
Of all county officers that will be
elected this fall one year. SO that they
will hold for three years instead OF
two, and their term OF Office will ex-
county officers will be elected at the
same time the state officers are elect
ed for the period OF two years. except
ing the county commissioners. whose
terms OF ONCE will be four years. This
bill also provides that the Legislature
may. II IL sees Mt, enact law brovid-
ing for the payment of salary to
all county officers Instead OF fees, as
has been the constitutional provision
heretofore.
Three years ago Senator Taylor cor
responded with a large number OF the
county clerks OF the state to ascer-
tain the exact cost OF an election in
tual figures that the enactment OF
these two measures Will be a direct
saving to the taxpayers OF this state
OF nearly n quarter OF million dol.
lars every alternate year.
The district attorneys and county
judges, as well as all county officials
In the state. are very much Interested
In these measures. and have, since
they learned their purport. been exer'
cisipg their influence In their behalf.
and there is no doubt but what when
u comes to the election of 1902 the
interest which all county officials In
the state will have In seeing them en-
acted. which VIII extend their terms
OF Office one year as before sI,own.
will constitute strong element OF
support for these measures In every
county in the state. so that II Is safe
to say that they are Just as good as
enacted into tho constitution Just
now.

Senator Tayior's Biennial Election
Bills.
Denver Post

Denver Post.
Senator Taylor's biennial election
bills. Nos. 3iI and 3iS. were signed
by Governor Orman today. These
two measures. from an economical
standpoint. are by far the most i'm.
portant and far-rcaching OF any bills
that have been passed by the legisla.
turc for many years. They represent
the linal success OF Senator Taylor's
efforts for number OF years past.
Both provide for constitutional amend
ments to be submitted to the people
at the general election in 1902. II
they are then adopted. as they un.
questionably win be. there will be
no more county or district elections
In this state In the odd years as here
tofore, MS the county and district OF.
ficers Will be elected at the general
state election In the even years.
-Four years ago Senator Tayicr tried
TO pass one OF them through the Elcv-
enth general assembly. but failed be-
cause two different articles oi the
constitution had to be amended. and.
us the constitution then stood only
an amendment to one article could
be sumitted at one session of tha leg
islature In the Twelfth general ms.
scmbly the senator cut the gordian
knot by passing a bill for an amend
mont. which was adopted by the last
general election. and which allowed
six articles of the constitution to be
amended ut one time, and he has now
accomplished his original object of
consolidating elections In this state
and wiping out one-half of ali gen
eral fall elections-with the role ex-
ception OF the supreme court judges.
