WANT TERM To
Be SIX YEARS

WASHINGTON, July 13. Again
an attempt is being made TO make
the term of the President of the
United States six instead of four
years. On Saturday another bill was
introduced into the senate provid-
ing for the lengthening of the term,
and it is likely that the measure
will come up for discussion before
adjournment although there is but
little likelihood OF its passage before
next winter.
Should the bill pass as it now
stands it would go into effect in
1920, and would exclude any person
from holding office for more than
one term. The proposed constitutions
al amendment is very similar in its
makeup to the one which was killed
by the last congress.
