Amendment to Constitution Has A Very Depressing Effect (TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July 19- I"' amendment to the In liana e oris Hut ion proposing to make the tenure of state offices four years is having a dopressing effect on the politically ambsti-His who otherwise would be sprouting bnams for nominations at the, republican convention of 1922. HECIDKIJ BY AMrnMi:T Of course it Is not certain- that the adoption Ok the amendment trouw v'r " mlt' the present Incumbents to hold over for another two years. This question will have to ;. decided ii courts if the amendment is adopted. Yet the weight of legal opinion, informally expressed, seeing to be tint the adoption of the four-year amendment would automatically extend th terms of all elective state officials wi'h the exception, of course, of Governor, clerk of the supreme court an J attorney general ad these art, tw four-year offices. ONE NOMINATION POSSIBLE. Because of this situation and tb possibility of the adoption of anoth.-r amendment which will make the offlee of Mate superintendent of publl instruction appointive instead of elective it might come to pass that the state convention will make only one nomination. The term of Patrick Lynch, clerk of the supreme court, expires next year. -Mr. Lynch is to be a candidate for re-nomir uticn . Hi has one avowed opponent Henry RobeAs Mr. Roberts is already active in state political circles announcing his determination to seek the nomination. He was a conspicuous figure in the Goodrich administration when the office of et&to statistician was abolished. Mr. Roberts held the post at the time ." "' ' ' JACKSON FOR GOVERNOR. In the. event it ia decided that the o'her state offices will have to be lill.ir. a h election next year it is certain that ora navies, state n entire r. ad William G. Oliver, slate auditor, will come before the convention for re-nomination. Ed Jackson, secretary of state, may not seek to retain "his office. He has ben twice elected to the place. He resignd during his first term to enter the army and ater was appointed to the place upon the death of Secretary cf State Roach Mr. Jackson's intention of being a candidate for governor in 1324, however. Is believed to be the controlling reason for his expected retirement from public office ne..t year. Senator .;stes Duncan of Cloverdale is being very favorably mentioned as a candidate for secretary of state, but it i? r.ot likely that he would enter a contest for the honor. 11 VN CAN'S PLIGHT Senator Duncan is a very close friend of Governor McCray. Tills relationship would most certainly give him great prestige shoi:!d he seek the nomination. However Mr. Duncan is about to take up other duties in connection with the state govt rnmet't . He is slated for secretary of the state teachers retirement fund board when that body is re-organized this summer. The responsibilities which this post will entail during the transition from the present to the new syst'-m may be of such a nature as to preclude Mr. Duncan from accepting such a nomination. BIRRIS TO CONTINUE. The road seems to be clear for Benjamin Burris to continue as state superintendent of public instruction no matter what change takes place in the method for selecting this official. Mr. Burrig was recently appointed by (Jnvrnor McCray to succeed L. N. Hines when he takes over the duties of president of the state normal school. It is believed .Mr. Burris will be the candidate for the nomination ne.ct year should the present system be retained. Donald DuShane, city superintendent of schools of Columbus, may be a candidate against him, however. Bert Morgan, federal prohibition agent for Indiana. in re-organizing that department in accordance with the new regulations adopted at Washington, has now def nitcly decided to open ore new group headquarters in the state. This will be at Terre Haute. The headquarters of groups of agents at Hammond and Indianapolis will le retained, but the plan of opening a fourth group section at Richmond has veen abandoned. Becoming Dangerous Boulevard Victims of automobile accidents along Grapevnc blvd., Indiana Harbor, increase daily. As Alexander Puscas of 35.17 Pennsylvania avenue, Indiana Harbor, was Journeying south along the boulevard. Frank Beke of 1972 AV. 15th avenue. Gary, coming on the boulevard oft 139th street, hit Piinoas' ear causing considerable damage. Frank P.eke was booked at the East Chicago police station for wrecklees driving.
TREASURER SENDS OUT TAX COLLECTORS
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT, In J.. July 19. County Treasurer Ralph B. Bradford Is sending out beginning today deputy treasurers to collect t lie delinquent personal property taxes in Hammond. As soon as they tinish in Hammond they will proceed to Whiting. East Chicago, and Gary. These deputies are all Lake county taxpayers themselves, and are familiar with the present conditions in the county. The taxpayers will find thent courteous but persistent to those who are able to pay. No embarrassment will be caused to any person who can show to the collectors or the city treasurer, that they ate out of employment and hence un-iilii-to pay. This oampaf gn'has nothing to (l. with politics. It simply mcins that every taxpayer in Hammond who has not paid his taxes and is able to d so, will have to pay them. Every deputy will be very giad to show to the taxpayer his appointment as deputy which will bear the signature of the treasurer of Lake county and will be certified to by the county clerk, and will bear the seal of the cir" euit court. If you are in doubt as to a collector being genuine, get his name and call the police, who will knoweach collector personally, and will know whether he is genuine. With the consent ot the county commissioners, an office will be opened in the superior court house, where taxpayers may meet the chief tax collector an dp.-iy their accounts. This office will be open every evening from T 3 p . m . j n 1 y . to WRIGHT IS MlilTTEl TO BAIL Officer Jack Wright of the Hammond police force, indicted for the killing of Cleo Dutton last spring, returned to Hammond list evening from Crown Point where h had been held in jail without bail since the indictment was returned by the grand jury nearly a month ago. As a result of habeas corpus proceedings held yesterday in the crlr.iinal court with Attorney George Herschman sitting as special judge. Wright was ordered admitted to bail. During the hearing the evidence as presented to the grand jury was introduced and the court held it not sufficient to warrant holding the man without bail. Bail was fixed at $10,0 09. The city has already appropriated $5,000 to secure Wright's liberty prior to the grand jury session and an ordinance will be introduced this evening at the me 'ing of the city council to appropriate an fadditlonal $5,000. Wright was permitted to return to Hammond and will be allowed until Wednesday to file the additional bail. He was represented in the proceedings by Attorney Joseph Conioy.

AUTO BUSINESS
L ON SO. HOHMAN ST. South Bount Street Car Hits Car Because of Truck's Criminal Carelessness. The wind and driving rain yes-ter-dny evening, together with a vampire truck were the. causes of an .automobile achient at the corner of Hohman end Clinton streets which by a miracle did not result seriously as far as the driver of the car was concerned. The machine, however, was badly damaged. The car Is the property of George Fleck of the sale: division of the Kteftenguido Corp., and was being driven by 1 C. St torn berg, one of the salesmen. Stromlx rg was driving north on llohman street, when he noticed a street car coming south, towards him. At the same time a truck going west on Clinton street, aproached the intersection. Strornberg, thinking that the truck would stop for the street car, r.r. 1 o A ,---, kt, ....... t".A Kin. vi , chine did not hefita'e, and crossed in front of him. making a quick applica.ion of the brakes necessary. Strom.herg. in his attempt to avoid a collision, twung his car towlards east Clinton street, but skidded onto the car tracks, into the path of the oncoming street car. The car hit the machine with terrific force, throwing it across the street to the southeast corner, where it was jammed between a fire hydrant and a telephone pole.

HITCH II iniPII PEACE NEGOTIATIONS North and South Ireland are Still Much at Loggerheads. ISTFT COP RESPONDENT !. N. SERVICE1 LONDON. July 13. While a hitch has admittedly arisen in the Irish peace negotiations hope was still running today that a way will yet be discovered to bring the discordant elements or the north and south Ireland together. For the present, at least, Sir James Craig, Ulster Prem ier, has retired from the picture, leaving, he said, Eamon De Valera to make what settlement he could with the British government. Craig took his cabinet and went back to Belfast. It is looked upon as a significant and hopeful sign however, that De Valera is remaining in London and will confer with Premier Llowd .leorge again on Thursday. DeValera himself declined to comment on the situation today. He would express no opinion regarding the action of the Ulsterltes In retiring from the scene. At republican headquarters the International News Service Correspondent was informed: "It is impossible for President De Valera to accept anything but recognition as an independent nation." Meanwhile negotiations were at a standstill today. Lloyd George conferred with the Dominion Premiers. DR. BOLIN AND WIFE HURT IN AUTO MISHAP Dr. J. C. Bolin and Mis. Bolin had a narrow escape from serious injury lcs. night when their automobile turned over on the Lake George road.
