GOVERNOR HODGES OF KANSAS
FAvoRs COMMISSION FORM OF
STATE GOVERNMENT.
MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR
Kansas Executive SAYS Present Sys-
tenn of State Govern mt, Fashion
ed After English Pa A. It, is An
tiquated and Inefficie" 'oHc.

Topeka, Kan, March 10.-The com
mission form of legislative govern
ment for the state of Kansas is urg-
ed by Governor Hodges in a message
to the legislature.
The governor proposes to have two
members from each congressional
district to replace the present repre-
sentation.
Opening with congratulation to the
members of both houses on the mag
nificent work accomplished" the mes
sage says: "The legislative system
of the state has become antiquated
and inefficient. 1t is fashioned after
the English parliament with two
houses based on distinction between
the nobility and the common people.
We should devise a system to give
quicker response to the demands of
economic and social conditions and
the will of the people"
The message recommends an as
sembly of one or at most two men,
hers from each congressional district,
the governor to be ex-officio men,
Der and presiding officer to meet
such regular or adjourned sessions
as the public business demands" The
terms of office to be four or six years
with a salary sufficient TO justify
the members devoting their entire
time. Governor Hodges says the pres
ent legislative system has been in
vogue for fifty years while no private
business uses the methods of half a
century ago.

VOTING ON AMENDMENTS.
Heavy Vote Being PoIIed-lndications
Point to Defeat of Measures.

TOIIit " DC'Sae VI
The special election being held to-
day is bringing out an exceedingly
heavy vote, all things considered. At
the hour Of going to press indications
pointed to at least eight hundred
votes being polled.
As rule it seems that most of
the measures will be defeated, al
though it is thought by many that the
amendment No 4, which would amend
section 7, Art. 8 by making the office
of chief of police elective may squeeze
through with a small margin. Amend.
ment No. which seeks to amend Sec
tion 2 of Art. by abolishing the Of
flee of police judge and placing his
duties on the mayor, seems to be
well in line to carry by small ma
jcrity. With the possible exception OF
these two amendments it is prac-
tically conceded by all that the amend
memts will be lost unless the heavy
vote which is expected just before the
closing of the polls will change the
result.
The beautiful weather following
the rain of yesterday and last night
has had a great deal to do with TIE
heavy vote which has turned out
since the polls first opened.

LEGISLATION.

:: A very small majority of the
&: lower house Of the Legislature,
!: after mature deliberation de-
g cided that it would be more
:: economical and best for all
!: automobile owners to pay the
:: state auto license now delin-
:: quent through the office of the
!: justice of the peace, rather
:: than through the regular chan
:: nels in each county, to which
:: no fee is attached. There are
!: about five thousand owners
3: who have not paid their Ii
I: cense and Representative Rex
:: roat introduced a bill to reach
:: these men, thirty per cent of
:: whom live in Oklahoma City
:: and the balance in about five
!: other large cities. If passed,
q this would have saved court
q costs to auto owners. OF
:: course it will be helpful to the
:: highway department for the
8: justice of the peace to collect
!: this fee, but the Ardmoreite
:: believes the lower house did
:: every auto owners in the state
:: an injustice by allowing the
q law to remain whereby this
:: fee could be collected, in
!: such a manner as would put
:: tens Of thousands of dollars in
:: the Golfers of the justices of
:: the peace of the state. The
:: department of highways, how
:: ever, cannot help but feel
:: gratified that the legislature
:: has assumed this burden. The
:: department will exhaust every
!: effort to collect this nominal
:: sum without resorting to the
!: courts, but before the close of
:: the fiscal 1ear every auto !
!: owner who fails to pay his
:: state license will be sued by
:: the state, and everybody
!: knows how vigorously the
!: state through its attorney gen.
!: erals office can enforce tax
:: collection, especially as there
q is absolutely no exemption.
!: The legislature of course as
:: sumes the burden and compels
:: this step to be taken. Since
:: Rexroat's bill was only reme-
!: dying a law which is already
!: in force and since it facili-
:: tated the collection of state
:: revenue and had tendency
:: to save tens of thousands of
:: dollars of court costs, and
:: since it would naturally tend
:: to economy, the Ardmoreite
:: is puzzled to find any eX-
!: cuse for it's failure to pass, un-
:: less it was a grievance against
:: automobile owners, which
:: would be manifestly unfair
:: and discriminating and to say
!: the least of it contemplate.
