Politics - 1970 Meet Your Candidates

When Indiana’s citizens walk into voting booths on Tuesday, Nov. 3, they will have before them a proposal that a substantial change be made in the state’s court system. The people will be exercising their power to ratify or reject a proposed Judicial Amendment to the Indiana Constitution. They will vote “yes" or “no" in a referendum on a question recognized as of an importance unmatched during the more than 100 years of the current State Constitution. > The proposal will be on the ballot as “Constitutional Amendment No. 2, Judicial Article.” A non-partisan effort to inform the public about the proposal has been headed by two former Indiana Governors. Roger D. Branigin of Lafayette and Harold W. Handley of Indianapolis. They are honorary chairmen of Indiana Citizens for Modem Courts of Appeal, an organization supported by the League of Women Voters of Indiana, the Indiana State Bar Association, and judges and state legislators. Briefly stated, the Amendment would remove the judges of the State Supreme and Appellate Courts from partisan election ballots. It would substitute a merit plan for the selection and tenure of those judges. Their continuance in office would be subject to a vote of the people at regular intervals. The Supreme Court’s five justices and the Appellate Court’s eight judges now are nominated at state party conventions, and elected in General Elections on ballots bearing party labels. The Supreme Court justices serve sixyear terms, and the appeals judges four-year terms. Ten-year terms would be created for all those judgeships. The Indiana Judicial Study Commission, which drafted the Amendment, said the plan seeks “to ensure a thoroughly qualified and independent judiciary at the appellate level by taking the selection and tenure of those

judges out of politics." Initial selections to fill vacancies would be by appointment by the Governor from lists of nominees recommended by a non-partisan commission. Alter an appointed judge had served two years, his continuation in office would require approval by a vote of the people in a General Election. His name would be on a ballot unopposed and without political label. On approval, he would begin a 10year term and be subject to the same vote every 10 years for continued service. The study commission said the nominating commission would have the assignment of seeking judicial candidates possessing “the essential qualities of personal integrity, judicial temperament. and adequate legal training and experience.” Persons who favor the Amendment have cited the element of chance inherent in the political process with election trends turning judges out of office regardless of their high individual competence. Persons who oppose it have stated they believe the partisan election system is more responsive to the desires of the voter. Former Governor Handley has termed the Amendment “the opportunity of the century for Hoosier citizens to improve their judicial system.” Branigin has called it a “great step toward judicial reform," and described the plan as “the appointment of judges by a method in which the appointive power, in good conscience. will be bound to choose the best available jurists but the ultimate power will rest with the people.” The Amendment also would provide for an administrative procedure for the retirement or removal of judges because of disability or serious misconduct. Under present law, a judge can be removed by impeachment after conviction for corruption or other high crime. It also would require that prosecuting attorneys be

lawyers, and would remove as constitutional offices the offices of Justice of the Peace and Clerk of the Supreme and Appellate Courts. The Appellate Court would be known as Courts of Appeals serving geographical districts defined by the General Assembly. Local trial courts are not affected by the plan. Merit plans similar to that proposed in Indiana have been adopted in 20 states and Puerto Rico, and like proposals now are being considered in 16 other states. RETIRED TEACHERS MEET OCT. 6 IN INDIAN APOUS INDIANAPOLIS - More than 250 delegates from nearly all of the 53 local chapters of the Indiana Retired Teachers Association met in Indianapolis October 6 for the fifth annual meeting of the Association. Retiring president, Henry L. McHargue, of Seymour, announced a heavy increase in membership in the Retired Teachers Association, moving ahead from 6,500 members last year to 7,000 members at the present time. He attributed much of the increase in membership to the concern of teacher retirees over the rise in the cost of living and the failure of the State of Indiana to meet its obligations to the Teachers Retirement Fund. Delegates voted to ask the Indiana General Assembly for a substantial “cost-of-living” in-

crease in the pension of retired teachers based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics index, giving attention to the date of retirement and length of service. They asked that attention be given to a number of retirees who are living on small pensions and are not under Social Security, pointing out that such a measure was passed in the 1969 General Assembly but was vetoed after adjournment of the session by Governor Whitcomb. Other resolutions passed by the association favored the elevation of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to a professional level by making the position appointive; the increase in the amount of state aid to local school corporations and the shifting of the tax burden from

property tax to some other form of tax. They vigorously opposed any form of optional nonproperty taxes on a county-wide basis. In the elections, Forrest Carmichael of Muncie was elected president of the Association. Earl M. Utterback continues as Executive Director. In a statement before the Assembly, Mr. Carmichael called attention to the fact that there are more than fourteen thousand retired public school teachers in Indiana.
