FILL POSTS ON SCHOOL BOARD EVERY2YEARS New System of Elections to Begin in 1929, Baker Holds. v j Indianapolis school commissioners must be elected biennially for four terms beginning in 1929, acto opinion presented to the Chamoer of Commerce education committee today by Albert Baker, former school board attorney. Baker’s report, as presented by William H. Book, civic affairs director, holds no revision of law is needed to change election of school commissioners from five elected every four years, three taking office the next January and two taking office two years. later,. to election of three and two commissioners alternately every two years. The change automatically will take place under the city manager law, it was pointed out. ) For more than a year the committee has been considering various proposed amendments to the present law in an effort to eliminate the two years delay in two of the five commissioners taking officfe. Change in Statutes Principal objection presented to the present plan is that it permits one political group or boss politician to maintain control of the school system for two years after the people may have voted protest of policies then in effect. Baker’s report pointed out to the committee that the present school low provides for election of three commissioners at one regular city election, and election of two others at the “next city election two years later.’' This provision was rendered inoperative by the amendment to the municipal election law of 1905, which provided for municipal elections every four years, instead of every two years, beginning in 1909. By this amendment the biennial city election was replaced by a quadrennial election, and it was necessary to elect school commissioners at this quadrennial election, as the school law also provided commissioners should be elected only at regular city elections. Steps Are Considered With change in city election back to a biennial basis, under the new city manager form of government, it is Baker’s opinion the provisions for biennial election of school commissioners, still remaining in the school board election statutes, again become effective automatically. . The present school commissioners’ ' terms are not affected by this arrangement. Terms of Theodore F. Charles W. Kern and Mrs. Lillian V. Sedwick will expire Dec. 31, 1929, and the other two members, Fred Kepner and Albert Whiteman, Dec. 31, 1931. The first election under the city • manager government will be held the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1929, when five city manager commissioners will be elected. , Immediately after being chosen, the law provides, they shall be divided by lot into two groups, the larger to hold office two years and the smaller four years. After this, they are to be elected alternately, three and two, for four-year terms, each odd numbered year. $ The committee, at its luncheon today, discussed steps to call to attention of city; election officials, the opinion of Baker.

LIQUOR ISSUE GOVERNS AL'S STUMP PLANS Hopes to Win Over Drys by Enforcement Pledge; Will Rap G. 0. P. ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. s.—Gov-j ernor Alfred E. Smith is giving care- ! tul thought to the treatment of the prohibition issue as he blocks out his campaign itinerary, to be announced within two days, realizing that this issue, which he projected so openly, is joing to play a vital part In both dry and wet sections. He is faced with the problem ol satisfying the drys as well as the wets, for he must carry some socalled dry States even if he should swing the dominant States in the wet East behind him. Already the cnampion of the modificationists. he now is considering the best course to follow with the prohibitionists. The' Democratic candidate is being accused by Republicans of raising "false hopes” among the wets by his program of modification. He is expected to meet this accusation by going into some detail into the Canadian system of control, wnicb he advocates, explaining how it works, emphasizing its benefits as he sees them as compared with American prohibition which ,he says does not prohibit, and citing figures in proof. The New York Governor is known for his ability to present complex problems clearly. He will seek to do for his modification program what he has done in explanation of New York State’s intricate finances. While urging this form of liquor control as the solution he regards best, Smith will emphasize even more strongly than in his acceptance address and perhaps with some suggestion of changed methods his intention to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act as long as they are on the statute ' books.
