VOTE Eyes"
On Amendment No. Eight Save
Expense to Taxpayers.
Changes Term of Judge Of Probate
From Two to Four Years to
Conform to Term Of All
Other County Officers.

The Judge of probate is now the
only county officer elected for two
years. The constitution of the state
of Minnesota fixes the term of the
judge of probate at two years. The
legislature has no authority to change
the term of this important Office. The
legislature has changed the terms of
all of the county officers from two to
four years and is pcwerless to change
the term of the judge of probate be-
cause that term is fixed by the con-
stitution Consequently the legisla-
ture has proposed this amendment to
be submitted to the voters of Mime
sofa, and it is necessary to pass this
amendment in order to make the term
of this Office the same as the other
county officers. The passage of this
amendment will save expense to the
TAXPAYERS of the county. What sense
is there in electing one officer in the
county every two years when the 9TH
ers are elected for a term of four
years? All the voters who believe in
direct legislation by the people should
vote upon this amendment. Those
who do not vote on the amendment
are counted as voting against it.
