I AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED TO
 ELECTION BILL
Rotative Ballot System and Absentee Voting Pro-
 vided by Committee

The Winn measure for the codi- fication and revision of Territorial elections was favorably reported today, by the House Committee or Elections and Election Laws, Rep resentativa Fisher, Chairman, with Q number of amendments designed to strengthen the present laws. Ii will come UP for detailed discussion and consideration tomorrow.
 There are four important changes recommended by the Committee One deals with tle form of the of ficial ballot, the second attempts to vaddate absentee voting, the third relates to persons claiming to have voted in the general cleo ticn Of 1924, and the fourth consid- CTS the matter Of officials becom- ing candidates for other offices.
 Names In Rotation
 The Committee recommended that the present system of print ing alphabetically the names or the official ballot be abandoned and a rotation of the names be sub stituted, giving every candidate an equal break in position on the bal lot,
 Under existing statutes, 30 days continued residence immediately preceding the election, is required in the precinct in which the voter seeks to cast his ballot. The Com nittee amendment proposed tc eliminate this provision and require 60 days residence in the Division in which the precinct is located, This does not affect the required one years residence in the Terri t5fy.
 The Committee recommended the inclusion of a provision affecting the so-called Literacy Law passed by Congress and approved March 3, 1927. This excludes from the taking of a literacy test anyone voting legally at the general cleo ton of November 6, 1924 The amendment suggested requires that voters, claiming to have voted in that election, when challenged to make an affidavit stating the place Ee voted and under what name
 The fourth amendment recom- mended would require one holding either a Territorial or Federal of flee to first resign that office be- fore becoming a candidate for any other position.
 Considering Pensions
 The greater part of the Houses time this morning was occupied in consideration of the proposed raise in pensions. The Rothenburg bill, in second reading, provides for an increase in the maximum allowance to S35, or a raise of $10 per month. The Ways and Means Committee reported favorably with an amend rnent cutting the maximum to $30.
 After debating the measure for almost an hour in Committee of the Whole, in which Mr. Rothenburg led the fight for his bill, and MT. Foster for the Committee amend ment, the whole matter was carried over until tomorrow.
 MT. Foster took the position the full increase would cost the Terri tory approximately $80o00 during the next biennium, and the in- crease approved by the Commit tee half that amount. This was disputed by MT. Rothenburg who declared he believed there would be no material raise in costs Of allowances under his bill.
