Joint committee.
Others Speak.
| Colonel Massie spoke briefly, and
Invoked presidents In Virginia, as wen
as section 1O4 OF the Constitution to
bear out his contentious that there
need be no joint committee. He ar
gued that the only prerequisite to
voting on removal, when case had
proceeded as far as this one has, is tho
twenty days notice, as provided by
the Constitution.
Colonel Massle moved to amend his
resolution by striking out that por-
ton providing that Judge Blackstone
! be allowed to show cause why he
should no. be removed, and to insert
in lieu thereof simple provision for
! the twenty days notice required by
the Constitution
| Mr.. Rev spoke in favor of the view
set out in tho amendment of Mr.. With
ers, and declared that from the incep-
ton of the case he had been of opinion
that In order that the action OF the
Legislature should be constitutional
there must be an investigation before
n joint committee prior to the time at
which the resolutions OF removal arc
presented to the two houses.
He was followed by Mr.. Featherston,
who cited the Campbell case as pre-
cedent. and who contended that 1t was
not necessary to have q joint commit
tee.
Mr.. Sutherland spoke for reference
to Joint committee. and Mr.. Page
advocated the resolution presented by
the Courts of Justice Committee, of
which he is member.
Mr. Withers spoke again In earnest
advocacy OF his amendment, and said
the proposition OF the Courts Commit
tee was q most absurd one, as 1t was
proposed to give Judge Blackstone
twenty days notice to show cause
why he should not be removed. and
then provide no tribunal before which
he could appear and show such cause.
Mr.. Montague wanted to know if the
procedure in the Campbell case had
not been followed UP to this time, and
Mr.. Withers replied sharply: ~ don't
care II 1t has. The Campbell case was
wrong. 1t was never tested. and never

Massie, and he was clearly of opinion
that the procedure up to this time had
been entirely proper and constitutional.
After quite an extended colloquy over
the question of procedure between
Messrs. Withers and Thrift. Mr.. Lewis
moved to refer the matter to the Com
mittee on Rules for report to-day. This
was not acted upon, and Mr.. Montague
spoke briefly for the resolution of the
committee. and strongly invoked the
Campbell case as precedent.

A DEBATABLE POINT

81 Opinions differ very widely con-
!. eerning the question which has
been raised again as to whether
or not county treasurers and sher-
iffs. who are now serving their
nrst terms, can be elected 70 sue
= ceed themselves
s. Some months ago the question
was raised and for a time 1t was
quite widely discussed Then came
the ruling OF the Supreme Court
which provided that sheriffs and
&treasurers, who were serving their
second terms could hold over
= 10 the extra year, an action
emade necessary by the change in
time OF holding elections. This
NrulinIy gave the treasurers and
:. sheriffs terms OF five years in
s<slx and it was generally considered
: that II a man who was serving his
y second term could hold beyond the
four years in six, a man who was
serving his first term could be
elected 10 a second term, thus CIV
Ing him the same number of years
an office. The question was drop
ped for time. but the opinion
which came from the office of the
/, attorney general knocked the props
out from under those who held
that the question was settled and
started them TO thinking again.
There seems to be very litt'
dissention among lawyers who are
affiliated with either party con
cerning this point and they main
tain that when the matter is pre-
scented to the supreme court the
ruling will be favorable to the
nrst termers.
In Marion county, politics cannot
be said TO play any part in the
consideration, since the parties are
affected equally. Sheriff Drown, a
Republican, is serving his first
term and is entitled TO a re-nomi- !
