County Officer Bill Killed.
H. B. SO, providing that the county
auditor, register of deeds, clerk Of the
district court, states attorney, sheriff,
county judge and treasurer shall not be
eligible for election to such Offices for
I more than two successive terms.
Mr.. Streeter considered the bill a
meritorious one as there is now no
trouble for political parties to secure all
the material for any Office in the gift Of
the people. He was opposed to the com
mon practice of county officers shifting
Z from one Office to the other, as It was
along the trend of county officers
/ trust. He was opposed to making an ex-
ception of the county auditor, his work
was no more delicate than that Of the
treasurer or sheriff. ...z
Mr.. Treat thought that in spirit the
bill was contradiction of Mr.. Caseys
bill just passed. l..S3 sl..,
Mr.. Stevens said NE could not relish
the bill at all. re Sasyed III letting fhs
4 people regulate the matter for them
selves, and they would be responsible for
official conditions in their own counties.
The bill could not take effect anyhow
: for four years and with this little bit of
publicity the people would make them
selves more on the alert.
Mr.. Hankinson was heartily in favor
of the bill.
Mr.. Midgarden told Of the conditions
in Walsh county, where they had prom
inent illustrations of continuous Office
holding. The bill was lost on the fol-
lowing roll call: IS ayes, So nays, absent
and not voting, Z 1t was the first bill
in this assembly to be defeated on the
! floor Of the house.
