so; why should this 'isqualifs
him from office? The most remark
able thing about this new Act is
that it contains nearly twenty Sec
tions (Secs 54.S3 of Chap. ~ which
had previously been held uncon-
stitutional as they appeared in the
old!clectiun laws. These sections
relate to impeachments and remov-
ais from office.
In the case of Bell versus Dis
trict Court, 2Sth Nevada 297, the
, Supreme court said: 1.-The subject
of the Act in question is elections.
its purpose and object is the order
ly election of plhlic officials by the
qualified voters of the state. The
trial of an officer, after he has been
50 elected, for malfeasance in Office,
his removal. and the appointment
of his successor because of such
removal, has no proper connection
whatever with elections"
At the time of the Act of 1918
passed all this appeared in the
Revised Statutes in Il note to Sec
1928. The unconstitutional
sections of the election law had
been carried into the Criminal
Code where they belonged.
The re-enactmcnt of these sec
tions probably would have caused
no trouble other than to have been
probably unconstitutional again
rs contrary tc the provisions of
Article a. Section II of the Consti-
which provides that each law
shall embrace but one subject and
matter connected Herewith which
subject shall be briefly expressed
in the title" wcrc it not for the
fact that the legislature of 1913
amended the title of the Act as
introduced to read: IAN Act re-
laiins to elections and renewals
from office" As introduced the
title read: IAN act relating to cleo
tons"
Whether some bright lawyer in
the assembly Il ought it n smooth
way to eventually kill the Act by
injecting two conflicting subjects
in the title, we do not know, hut
the effect Of the legislatures action
is open to reGonable doubt.
The secretary of state must have
the election laws printed for dis,
tribution to the election official:
at the next election; wouldn't it be
a good idea for that official to find
out what the election laws are be,
fore he takes such action?

HAMILL CUT FOR
STRAIGHT PENSION
Congressman Has Plan to Ben
eft Government Employees

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Repre-
sentative Hamnl. Of New Jersey. said
at the White House yesterday that
he expects TO see President Wilson
within the next week regarding some
method OF providing for superannu
ated clerks in the government service.
Mr. Hamill is the author of bill
pending in the House providing
straight pension by the government
for faithful employees who have serv-
ed a given number of years.
lie is hopeful that he may get SUI
hcient support to put his own or some
other acceptable measure through
Congress at this session that will set
tie the long disputed question of
proper provision for those who have
81 ent their lives in faithful efforts
for the government.
Mr.. Hamill does not believe in re-
curing the CLERKS to provide their
own system of pensions. He thinks
the government should do this Under
the wise provisions it can make with
out the strain upon its financial re-
sources MIR. Hamill intends to dis
cuss the subject with cabinet Of
ficers before seeing the President,
and he would like to have the support
of Mr.. Wilson for pushing through
legislation without delay.
