The Main Issue

Your editorial on biennial
elections for the Arlington
County Board. captioned
The Main Issue" misses the
main issue-and by a wide
margin. The main issue is
that the gentleman who sped
this legislation through the
Virginia General Assembly
refused TO permit the people
OF Arlington TO choose be-
tween even and odd year
elections.
An official resolution Of the
Arlington County Board and
a telegram to Senator Fem
wick requesting such a choice
were ignored. Instead the
politicians arbitrarily settled
on even year elections in the
hope that in these years
safe" candidates will squeak
through and win by a hand
full Of votes.
They disregard the long
history Of municipal reform
which has insisted on sep
aration of local and national
elections. They merely par
rot and repeat that more
people vote in the even years
when Federal elections are
held. They have no reply
when it is pointed out that
the wise men who framed the
Virginia Constitution pro-
vided that State elections
should be held in odd years
so that State and national
issues would not compete for
attention and consideration.
They are silent when it is
pointed out that focal cleo
lions need the same treat
ment and that almost all
other local elections in Vir-
ginia are held in odd years.
They ignore the fact that
Federal employees are partic-
ularly sensitive to the pen
alties Of the Hatch Act in
years Of Federal elections
and many who would will
ingly participate in cam
paigns for local Office dis
creetly sit at home.
I introduced the recent
proposal for biennial cleo
tionS. I still favor biennial
elections. but I do not believe
that a principle as important
and as ancient as the sepa-
ration of national and local
elections should be SO lightly
disregarded. l am not afraid
to let the people Of Arlington
make this choice. but Sem
ator Fenwick and his sup
porters refused to take this
chance. That is The Main
Issue" That is why I shall
vote mo" in the July ref
lerendum.
