framed In governmental proceed.
ures. The arguments tor and
against each Amendment are ar.
Guments advanced by persons
VINO favor or oppose each one.
proposed Amendment No. 1:
Staggered Terms for State Sen.
etors. At present Article w. Sec
ton of the New Mexico Consti-
luton provides that all State sen
atorS be elected for concurrent
0ur-year terms at the presiden-
aal election and that State rep
resentatlveS be elected for two
year terms at each general cleo
ton.
The proposed amendment would
provide for staggered terms of
the senators from half of the conn.
ties would be elected at each gen.
eral election every two years. To
begin this staggering of terms IN
1850 this year the senator's
from half of the counties would
De elected to serve four years
and the senators from the other
sixteen counties named in the
amendment would be elected to
serve for six years beginning Jan
uary l, 1851. Thereafter all the
senator's would be elected for four
year terms. The sixteen counties
whose senator's would serve for
Six years initially are: Bernalillo
Chavez, Curry, DeBaca, Grant.
Lea, Lincoln, Luna, Sandoval. San
Juan, San Miguel, Socorro, Taos,
Torrance, Union, and Valencia.
There would be no change in
the terms Of office Of the State
representatives. they would still
be elected for two-year terms at
each general election.
Arguments Or:
Staggered terms would provide
beneficial continuity in the State
Senate; this is especially desir
able because of the increasing use
Of interim committees. The Sena-
tors who serve on these commit
tees would be able to present the
committee recommendations to
the Senate.
With half Of its members GER
tain to be experienced, the Sem
ate could organize more quickly
would produce more carefully
planned legislation. Since half of
the senators would be elected ev-
cry two years, there would be
more frequent opportunity for ex-
preston of popular approval or
disapproval of actions of the err
tire senate. The worth O stag
gered terms for senator's has been
proved over many years in the
United States Senate.
The only way to initiate stag
gered terms is to have some SEN
ators serve longer than others in
the transition period.
..Arguments Against:
The new ideas of new members
are more desirable than contin-
uity and experience.
The amendment is unfair to the
sixteen counties whose senators
will, this year, be elected for only
four years. The initial six year
period is too long.
The amendment should have
been prepared for an election at
Navajo times. [volume] (Window Rock, Ariz.) 1960-1984, 1960-10-01

legislature to cut oil the intro
duction of bills earlier, while the
legislators can give the bills al
ready introduced the consideration
they deserve.
If Amendment No. is approx.
ed the thirty 1907 day session
must nave an Garner deadnne tor
the introduction OF proposed legs
latlOn. Inns can be eSGaDMSned
more easily by legislative action.
Arguments against:
Inc Constitution Sn0uld ser the
time nmlt; otherwise the legls4a-
ture can enact a law TO have bills
introduced until the very last Gay
of the session, or can change the
session.
Removal of this prohibition
might encourage legislators to
wait until the last moment to in
troduce bills so that more bills
will have to be studied and de-
cided upon during the closing days
of the session than now are.
Proposed Amendment No. 4:
Confirming the Girls Welfare
Home, the Carrie Tingley Grip
pied Children's Hospital. and the
Los Lunas Mental Hospital as
State Institutions.
At present Article w, Section
l of the New Mexico Constitution
lists only the Penitentiary at San
ia Fee, the Miners HOspitol at
Ration, the New Mexico State Hos
pital at Los Vegas. and the New
Mexico Boys School at Springer
as state institutions.
The proposed amendment would
add the Girls Welfare Home at
albuquerque, the Carrie Tingley
Crippled Children's Hospital at
Truth or Consequences, and the
Los Lunas Mental Hospital at Los
LunaS to this list of constitution
ally established state institutions.
These three institutions presently
operate under state boards Gre
ated by the legislature.
Arguments for:
! The addition of these institute.
ons to this section of the C0nsti-
tuition will raise them to status
comparable to other correctional
/ and charitable institutions in the
! State.
This would enssDle these inStitu-
tons to participate in the income
and permanent funds from Fed
eral grant lands. The functions of
these institutions is as important
as the functions of those already
mentioned in the Constitution, so
they deserve such assured in
come.
/ Arguments against:
The funds from the grant lands
which are now divided among
four institutions would be divided
among seven, and the legislative
appropriation would merely be re-
apportioned. Enumerating the in
stitutions and their geographical
locations in the Constitution re-
moves some legislative control
over them because they would be
constitutionally established rather
than legislatively established.
Proposed Amendment No. S: i
Four-Year Terms for Elected
State Executives.
At present Article v, Section Il
of the New Mexico Constitution
provides for the election of the
Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Secretary of State, Treasurer, Au-
ditor. Attorney General, and Com
missioner of Public Lands forl
two-year terms at each general
election. After serving two con-
secutive terms in any of these Of
fees, they are ineligible to hold
any elective state office for two
years thereafter
Navajo times. [volume] (Window Rock, Ariz.) 1960-1984, 1960-10-01

years, the sessions would be Inn
tied to the present sixty days: in
the even-numbered years. they
would be limited TO thirty days.
The subjects to be considered at
the short session would be limited
to:
l. Budget, appropriations. and
revenue OILS:
z. bills correcting or amending
leglSIatlOn enacted N the last pre-
vlouS regular session;
3. blilS Drawn pursuant to spe-
cial messages OF the Governor:
4. Bills OF the last previous regu-
lar session vetoed by the Cover
nor; and
S. Bills introduced by interim
legislative committees.
No change is made in the pro-
visions for calling special ses-
SionS.
Arguments for:
Government has become SO com
plicated and SO big that a ses-
sion every two years cannot &C.
cOmplish what needs to be done;
therefore, it is reasonable that
annual sessions be held.
A session each year would tend
to cause legislators to keep in
constant touch with state govern
ment situations and thereby pro-
duce more thoughtful legislation.
The legislature will be able to
perform its function of appropria-
ting money without having to dele
gate this power to some execu-
tive agency such as the Board of
Finance. 1t is impossible to make
up budgets which will cover actu-
al income and expenditures two
years In advance.
Errors in legislation which are
made in one session must now
wait two years to be corrected.
With the adoption of this amend
ment the errors can be corrected
in one year and by the same
legislators. The short session off
erS the Governor an opportunity
to propose legislation necessary
to carry out his program as it
develops during his term of Of
flee.
The short session would allow
the reconsideration by the same
legislators of bills vetoed by the
Governor after adjournment of
the Governor after adjournment of
the 6O-day session. Interim COM
mittees could report to the same
people who appointed them.
The later opening date offers
the Governor and legislators two
weeks more time for preparing
legislative proposals after taking
office.
= Arguments Against:
A session every year will take
too much time from legislators
personal business; unless annual
salaries are provided, some cap
able men won't serve. Interim
committees need more than one
year to make the studies assigned
to them.
Two sessions in the biennium
will cost more than half again as
much as one session in per diem
expenses for Legislators, in travel
costs, and for staff salaries: some
new staff members will have to
be trained for the second session.
Meeting annually, the legis.
lature might attempt to take over
some of the executive powers.

Blanket
Insulation
Praised
By DOUGLAS TUoMEY
Contributins Writer

There are many types Of
insulation available today
and, in my opinion, blanket
insulation made Of inorganic
material and covered with
moistureproof covering. Is one
Of the best.
The modern blanket insula-
ton comes in rolls Of the
proper width to At between
wall studs or the rafters Of
any house built according to
usual building practice. Both
sides Of the insulation have
a flange which permits it to
be stapled to the studs or
rafters with speed and ease.
Aside from the stapling
tool. the only other equipment
needed is q sharp scissors or
a keen knife to cut the roll
to correct lengths.
Good blanket insulation is
two inches thick and. when
stapled to the inner face Of
a stud or rafter, 1t leaves q
two-inch air-space between
the inside face of the sheath
ing and the outside face of
the blanket. thus providing
for the evaporation Of mois-
