Judge John Carmoay, head Of the state
boaru Of control. who is here on business
in connection with the School for the
Deaf today, Is opposed to the amend
ment providing for the extension of the
term of supreme court jud es. Mr.. Car
mody is former judge Of the supreme
court and has the following to say with
reference to the matter:
zone of the most important PROPOSE
lions to come before the voters this fall
is the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution extending the term of the su.
preme court judges from six to ten
years. If adopted. it not only extends
the term Of the Judges hereafter elect
ell, but extends the term of two Of the
judges elected in 1910; the one receiving
the highest number Of votes in 1910 will
have his term extended to ten years
and the one receiving the next highest
number Of votes In 1910 will have his
term extended to eight years. the one
receiving the lowest number Of votes
IN 1910 will b as now six years. The
term Of the other state officers is two
years and that Of the district Judges
four years. The tendency is to decrease
rather than lengthen the term Of office
holders. 1t is my opinion that thi,
amendment sho'' d be defeated and i
will be If the voters will look after it
To amend the state constitution it re
quires majority of the votes cast or
that question, and in not voting on the
question it is one-half vote in its IA
vor. believe there is no good reason
for this amendment and extending O
the term Of any official and l..us per
