in sight, just about as sensible as any
OF them. Wilson has In the senate q
bill to provide instead OF just seven
days for notice Of candidate for
school office seven clear days" The
senate committee has changed It to
seven full days" Senator Doe says
that means another wet and dry fight.
A flaw has been discovered in
joint resolution passed by tie Thirty
fifth general assembly proposing an
amendment to the constitution to give
the legislature authority 20 change the
date of holding state elections. which
may result in some confusion should
congress see fit to change the date OF
holding presidential elections.
In other words, the voters Of Iowa
may be compelled 10 go TO the polls to
cast their ballots for presidential cleo
tors on one day and on the following
day make another trip to choose state
and county officers.
Two years ago when congress was
seriously considering changing the law
50 that the presidential election would
be held on the first Monday in Mo-
vember instead Of on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday. the Iowa lesis-
Iature decided to adopt resolution for
an amendment to the constitution per-
hitting it to change the date Of the
state election.
The resolution passed both branches
Of the assembly with little opposition.
The enacting clause Of the resolution
as adopted by the house and n1essased
over to the senate read: BE IL enacted
by the general assembly Of the state OF
Iowa" 1t was printed in the senate
journal in exactly the same form as It
was passed in the house. But few
days later, when the senate passed the
resolution the enacring clause AZ II ap-
peared in the senate Journal read az
follows: BE it resolved by the general
assembly of the state OF Iowa"
Early this session Of the legislature
KHnker, of Crawford, offered the res
olution for the second time In the
house and 1t was passed and messaged
over to the senate.
The senate committee on constitu-
tional amendments, in considering the
resolution. discovered tho error In tho
senate journal. This led to an investi-
gation which showed that the. world
resolved" had been substituted for the
word enacted only In the journal ond
that the enIolled MEASURE had not boen
changed In any way. The question now
10 whether the error OF the senate jour
nal would invalidate the resolution.
