STUDY CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU VOTE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT WILL APPEAR ON 1972 BALLOT State Representative (Republican) Thames Mauzy called for careful and thorough consideration to the five (5) pending State Constitutional amendments on this years ballot. “Often such amendments go unnoticed by the voters; resulting in a vote which does not reflect the true intentions of the general electorate.” It is the duty of every voter as a citizen to consider carefully what is involved in each amendment and make a decision based on the merits of each. 1. Shall the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to permit the General Assembly to establish the method of selection and tenure of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction? The Superintendent of Public Instruction is currently elected by the voters of the State for a two (2) year term and may serve an unlimited number of terms. “This amendment would allow selection by a method other than election; appointment by the Governor or by statewide board of election are two of the major possibilities. Continued election is a third possibility.” 2. Shall the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to permit the Governor to serve eight (8) out of any twelve (12) years? Under the current provisions the Governor is limited to one (1) term (4 out of 8 years); the Lieutenant Governor may serve an unlimited number of terms. “The amendment would allow the Governor to serve two (2) complete terms (8 out of 12 years), beginning with the Governor elected in 1972.” 3. Shall the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to permit the Governor seven (7) days in which to veto legislation and to clarify certain procedures for handling vetoed legislation? At present the Governor has three (3) days during the session and five (5) days after adjournment to act on legislation. , “This amendment would allow the Governor seven (7) days to act upon legislation. If the Assembly was in session, the Governor would be required to return a vetoed bill on the first day following the veto. When the Assembly is adjourned, vetoed legislation would be filed with the Secretary of State for presentation on the first day of the next session. The pocket veto would still be invalid.” 4. Shall the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to permit county officers to serve an unlimited number of terms instead of two (2) and making the county coroner a statutory officer rather than a constitutional officer? The amendment concerns only constitutionally created county offices - - such as clerk, auditor, recorder, treasurer, sheriff, coroner and surveyor. Currently the surveyor may serve more than two (2) consecutive terms. “This amendment would allow all of these officers to serve as many terms as the electorate of the county desired. It also would delete the coroner from the Constitution, making his office subject to regulation by law. A schedule attached to the amendment would move election of all of these officers to the non-presidential year.” 5. Shall the constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to permit the General Assembly to establish by law a method of filling vacancies in the General Assembly? At the present time the only method of filling a vacancy in the General Assembly is for the Governor to call a special election. “The amendment would allow the General Assembly to decide how the vacancies would be filled.” It is my sincere hope that “This year every voter, as an informed citizen, will weigh carefully what is involved in each Constitutional amendment and register his vote as his conscience dictates. This would truly reflect the wishes of the Indiana electorate.” - - Re> Elect Thames Z. Maa ay ( K Republican State Representative VOTE Paid By Thames L. Mauzy - Warsaw |
