With the election just a few day# away. the campaigns are hot apd heavy with the Senate and Representative races gaining the mam headlines There are many other contested offic^s but a.so something very important on the voting maClune that should, if nothing el ^. Mnake a true Hoosier go to Jhc pplls and vote for on this election day. This of couise is. ConstituAmendments to the IndiiihA State Constitution Induma as has many other has been operating on a very out dated constitution. The one that now governs Indinu^ is w.eli over 100 years old. Needles* to say. times have cuanged since that time. tn India na, there is two v. <va to change such outdated Ewer One is b . v a Constitutonal utXmvention. which has ju drawbacks, and the other 1 Constitutional Amendments, which also has * >me’ d^wbucks. but is away t^'gW a particular item brought up* to date without jeopardizing the entice constitution Ti a Constitutional Conven-->>n much tune and effort is expended to draw up a new c । WBtution. Fine and d indy, •- Msst*of the revisions would . r oditv be much needed. But t» e drawback is that upon completion of this, its acceptahee is put to a vote and if r.‘ne small p irt is such that it could cause rejection the entire constitution has to go if voted down On the side of the Amendments, each and every item in it can be amended one at a time, but here th? drawback is time.

Then it jas to be accepted by the oters not once, but in two < onsecutive elections following tbe meeting of the state legislature. or figuring cons?rvajively. a delay of from five to seven years. However, there j-e several amendments on .is ballot that concern \^ry wd shortcomings in the hnrse and buggy constitution that is tying to serve the jet age. Try.ng to be brief, but certainly wanting to explain these you. to be assured you are -ware of these they: The first of the questions to m: voted on simply by yes or vo is — Legislative sessions.

VOTE YES!

Article 4. Sections 9 and 29 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to permit the General Assembly to meet annuauy instead of biennially, and to establish the length and frequency of its sessions and recesses by law ? The second of the questions is Judicial article Shall the Artic.e 77 (Judicial) of the Constitution of the State of Indiana be replaced and reenacted to change the present Constitution as follows: Reorganize the Supreme and Appellate Courts into a Supreme Court of from 5 to 9 members and a Court of Appeals the number of whose members will be set by the legislature; create the office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: permit in cumbent members of Supreme Court and Appellate Court to fund over tili their respective e.ective or appointive terms end subject in the general election immediately preceding expiration of their terms to voter approval or rejection for an additional 10-year period; pro vide fur filling vacancies by the Governor from lists of nominees submtted by a "seven mem ber non-partisan Commission and provide lor voter approval or rejection of such judges after 2 years of service and every 10 years taereafter; abolish the Clerk of thy Supreme ‘Court, and Justices of the Peat ? as constitutional officers; provide an addition il system or disci pline and removal of judges by the jSupneme Court; and certain other changes? The third question is— State Officials. Shall Artic e 1 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended by increasing the terms of office of the Secretary. Auditor, and Treasurer of State from two to four years and by restrict.ng individual eligibiiitj to no more than eight years in any period of twelve years? After studying these through and weighing the pros and cons honest y, we recomcnd that a vote of yes is esential to put Indiana back on the path towards the jet age instead of Uxe much outdated horse and buggy const.tution that now is inadequate In several places. Democrat or Republican a split ticket or straight party lever voter, you have an obligation behind that curtain on Tuesday . . . look right to the Constitutional Amendments and then vote right, vote YES.
