The Six Year Term Idea
In Electing a President
Otto T. Barnard Bases Argu-
ment In Favor Of Change on
Primary System Cost.

There were many obvious advantages
In it, he said, but a reform so far
reaching was not one to be put
through on the spur of the moment.
Chairman William r. Wilcox of the
public service commission of New York
remarked that the change to a single
term of six years would be a good
time to establish pension for ex-presi-
dents.
II believe in the single term,' Mr..
Wilcox said emphatically when the
proposition was put before him, land
I believe that the president should
have some sort of salary after his
six years are over. Then if his advice
was necessary he could be called upon
at any time to give the benefit of his
experience"
Mr.. Wilcox advanced this argument
to meet those who hold that it might
some time be necessary to keep pres
1dent in the White House for two sue
cessive terms, as in the case of Lin
coin.
"Under the present system" contin-
ued the chairman, 1.-THE president is no
sooner in Office than it is more or less
up to him to plan for a second NOM
1nation. With the single term he would
think first and solely Of the things he
ought to do for the good of the coun-
try, and not only he, but those whom
he appointed, would have more time
and thought to devote to the duties for
which they were responsible to the
people. The whole tone Of the ad-
ministration would be changed"
An Eight Year Advocate.
Eight years was the time proposed by
Charles A. Peabody, president of the
Mutual Life Insurance company, with
reelection prohibited. He said:
II do not believe that eight years
would be too much. Even if we got
an incapable man in the presidency he
would not be able to do as much harm
in the eight years as a good man could
do good. It is advisable to have the
time as long as possible in order that
business may not be upset any oftener
than is necessary. The way it is now
we are just beginning to get straight
ened out after one campaign when
along comes another and bowls every
thing over again.
Frederick D. Underwood. president
of the Erie railroad, said:
IF we have a good president why
not keep him for eight or even twelve
years? This scheme of rotation in Of
fee is the greatest rot that was ever
advanced"

Views of Some Well Known
Men In Politics on a
Topic Now Agitated.
4 SINGLE six year term for the

4 SINGLE six year term for the
~ president Of the United States
n is a subject that has aroused a
good deal of discussion. The
most recent personal opinions given
in the matter include the views of
Otto Il. Barnard, a former candidate
for mayor of New York and promi-
nent figure in the Republican national
convention.
1.-THE increasing expense of nomina-
tons under the primary SYSTEM" said
Mr.. Barnard. twill force the country
to institute a longer term for the pres
ident The direct primaries involve
an expense out Of proportion even to
elections, for the tendency is to in
crease the number of candidates, and
each candidate must bear the expense
of his nomination. With a six year
term such burdens will fall upon the
people less frequently.
'"The argument that we might need
any one president for a second term
must not be listened to. 1t is impera-
tive to make the single term provision
binding. The impossibility Of re-elec-
ton will make it unnecessary for a
man to seek a second term in order
to Justify his administration and will
allow him to give his entire attention
to his Office.
Business Viewpoints.
"Again, the six year period will re-
lieve the country of the agitation to
which it is now subjected every four
years, which greatly disturbs business
conditions. believe in the change
most heartily
Paul NJ. Warburg, a prominent New
Yorker, when interviewed on the sin
gle six year term, emphasized the as
sertion that the longer term would
add greatly to business stability
throughout the country by making the
president more independent in his
dealings with the large interests and
less subject to the hue and cry Of the
moment.
If the direct primaries were to be
extended, he said, the limitation to
one term would be necessary to pre-
vent repetition Of the presidents be-
ing forced to come out of the White
House to plead with the people, Mr.
Warburg preferred not to mention
whether he advocated the extension
of direct primaries, but seemed to be-
