Constitutional Amendments

One of the important duties of the
voters at the coming elect on will be
to decide upon the adoption or re-
lection of four constitutional amend
ments. The Spokane Chronicle sum
marizes the amendments and the ar
guments for and against them as fol-
lows:
Four constitutional amendments
will be OH the official ballots in No
yember for adoption or rejection in
the state at large Two of these af-
feet a single measure.
The first proposed amendment
would remove the present cOnstitu-
tional prohibition against county Of
fieers holding office more than two
terms in succession, except in respect
to the county treasurer. 1t is to be
stated on the ballot as follows:
For Tor against) the proposed
am endment to section 7, of article |
of the constitution, removing the pro-
hibition against county officers ex-
cept county treasurer, holding office
for more than -wo terms"
The last session of the legislature
proposed this amendment largely in
response to the urgings of various or
CARNATIONS of county officials 1t
was urged that efficiency in office
would result from returning the
same man and that the fact that a
man had held an office for four years
1.-TWO terms) should not be an argu-
ment against his reelection, provid-
ed his record was good
The only person who thus far has
led any fight against this amend
ment has been w. II. Dunphy of
Walla Walla, recently a candidate for
the democratic gubernatorial nomI-
nation. Dunphy's argument was that
change in administration of an of
flee would be a frequent check,
as the accounts of the retiring Off
cial would be scrupuously investigat-
ed by the new man. The Walla
Walla candidate urged that such a
check would at once lessen the dan
ger of defalcations and the necessity
of exam inations by the state board
Of accountancy.
Second on the list to be voted upon
in November is the recall amend
ment 1t will appear on the ballots
in this form:
For tor against the proposed
amendment to article / of the consti-
tuition by adding thereto at the end
OF said article l two new sections TO
be numbered sections 80 and "a Of
said article / authorizing and pro-
vding for the recall and discharge
of any elective public officer and
election of his successor"
The recall amendment provides
that any elective public officer ex-
cept a judge of the superior or su-
preme court may be made to stand
for reelection by the filing against
him of petition and statement setting
forth that the officer complained of
has been guilty of malfeasance or.
misfeasance or has violated his oath
of office, and setting forth the al
legged facts.
In the case of a state officer or
