Election Laws will Have to Be
Ameuded

The next Legislature will be asked
to cure number of defects in the sche-
dule of the recently adopted amend
ments to the Constitution OF Pennsyl-
vania.
Since the adoption of the amend
ments the State Department has been
flooded with inquiries regarding the
effect on the terms of various public
officers not provided for in the sched-
ule. For the benefit of inquirers a
compilation has been made of the
things that will have to be taken care
of by the Legislature. All of these
will be Incorporated in bill that will
be presented early in the session of
1911.
AS judges of the county courts can
only be elected in odd numbered
years, at municipal elections, it will be
necessary to lengthen for one year the
terms of the Judges whose commits
sions expire with the end of the years
1912, 1914, 1916 and 1918 The S ;he-
duleshas already provided that those
Judges whose terms expire with the
end of 1910 shall continue in office
another year.
Terms of justices of the peace end on
the first Monday of May of each year,
except those to be elected in February,
1910, who shall serve until the first
Monday in December, 1915. The pro.
posed act must state specifically that
the terms of those elected in 1908 shall
be lenthened to the first Monday in
December, 1911; those of 1907 and 1908
to the first Monday ofDecember, 1918,
and those of 1909 to the like in 1915.
The schedule takes care of city,
borough, township and ward officers
elected in 1908 for three years their
terms are to end the first Monday in
December, 1911, and their successors
are to be elected in November of that
year for four years 1t will be neces-
sary for the Legislature to extend the
terms of such officers elected 1909 to
the first Monday in December, 1918.
Terms of officers who have in the
past been elected for tour wears
will have be extended to the first Mon
day in December of the proper year,
as follows: Those elected in 1907, to
December, 1911 those elected in 1908
Will serve to the same date (which
would shorten their terms few
months) or to December, 1913, which
would lengthen them one year and
eight months. Those elected in 1909
iot iouE years are prOVlueO IOr IN Un6
schedule, and will serve until the first
Monday in December, 1918.
Officers elected in 1909 for two years
should serve until the first Monday in
December, 1911, but this is not provid-
ed for in the schdule and will require
action by the Legislature.
One of the mistakes in the schedule
is provision that assessors elected in
February, 1910, shall serve until the
first Monday of December, 1911, al
though heretofore these offers have
neen elected for three years. Under
the amended constitution those elected
after this year will serve four years.
