ONLY One SALARY
FOR BELLAMY

Guthrie Okla, Jan. 5.-Judge Sand
lin Of the superior court has decided
that the ieutenantgoyernor George
W. Bcllemy, Is not entitled to draH
pay both as lieutenant-goyernor anc
chairman Of the banking board. MI
Dellamy undertook to mandamus the
banking board. The demurrer of tht
attorney general was that the pay O.
the official should not be increased o.
diminished during his term Of Office
and that the fact that further dutie
were imposed on him does not entitlt
him TO two salaries. This view is sus
tanned by the court.
In his opinion Judge Sandlin said:
Section 4 of Article of the con
stitutlnn creates the office Of lieuten.
ant-goyernor anad other Of the state
officers, and Section Is OF the sched
.ule flxes the salary. Section "a o
Article provides that each Of said
officers shall at stated times, dur
Ing his continuance in office, receive
for his service compensation
which shall not be increased or dimin
ished during the term for which he
shall have been elected; nor shall
he receive to his use, any fees, costs
or perquisites OF office or other com
pensation.
"The act Of the legislature creatini
the state banking board makes the
plaintlf a member OF said board b.
virtue Of his Office as lieutenant-goy
ernor This is not the creation Of /
new office, but amounts to imposing
new duties upon an existing office.
1T is a well settled rule under sim
liar constitutional provisions that {

fixed salary, is bound to perform
the duties OF the office for that salary
even though the duties Of such Office
are Increased by subsequent statute.

WANTS SIX
YEAR TERM

Washington, Jan. 5.-Extension Of
the presidential and congressional
terms OF Office is favored BY Champ
Clark
y am in favor OF amending the con

term Of six years and make him in
eligible for reelection am IN favor
OF that because every time there is a
president extraordinarily popular a lot
OF fools boom him for the third term.
For more than one hundred years
there has been a part Of the un-wrlt-
ten law Of the land that the president
shall serve two terms and no more
and 10 break down that unwritten law
now would be exceedingly dangerous.
Therefore am in favor Of now fixing
It so Il cannot be broken
If the presidential tenn is made six
years am In favor Of making the
term in congress three instead Of two
Then the states falling into that rule
would have an election every three
years.
Representative Clark is in favor OF
electing both the president and repre-
sentatiyes in congress on the last Mon
day in August inaugurating the presi
dent and the members OF congress OF
the first Monday in October.
