THREE AMENDMENTS
AND FOUR NEW LAWS
Measures to be Passed Upon b>
Voters in September Now Being
Published in The Journal
The voters of Arkansas, in ad
dition tp selecting state and local
officers at the general election Sep
tember 14, will be called upon tc
approve or reject three proposed
amendments to the constitution
and four news laws initiated un
der the initiative and referendum.
Of the amendments, one already
has been given approval only to
be declared inoperative on a tech
nicality. This amendment provides
that cities and towns, under cer
tain conditions, may issue bonds.
The act was approved by a ma
jority two years ago, but was
erased from the statute books by
the Supreme Court, which ruled
that the measure had not been
legally approved because only
three amendments might be voted
on ai me same ciecuun. i uc uunu
issue amendment was the fourth
or fifth presented at that election.
The two other amendments are
submitted by the 1913 legislature
one fixing salaries for members of
the General Assembly and the
other creating the office of lieu
tenant governor.
Amendment No. 15 provides
that the members of both branches
of the legislature shall be paid a
a salary of $750 per year and that
the speaker of the house and the
president of the Senate shall re
ceive $S50 per year.
Amendment No. 1<> provides for
the election of a lieutenant gover
nor, who shall be chosen for a term
of two years.
Some doubt has been expressed
concerning the wording of the act
creating the new office and an ef
fort was made to prevent Secretary
of State Earle W. Hodges from
certifying it out.
The clause which some contend
may render the act inoperative
follows:
“The governor and lieutenant
governor elected at the next pre
ceding election to the time when
this section takes effect, shall hold
office until and including the se
cond Monday of September, and
their successors shall be chosen at
the general election in that year.”
I This might be interpreted, it has
jbeen pointed out, as an effort to
change the time for beginning
i and ending the term of office for a
'governor. The governor now
takes his office on the first of Jan
uary after his election. It was the
wording of this clause also that
resulted in a candidate offering
for the office of lieutenant gover
nor, believing he could be elected
at the same election at which the
; act is submitted.
The acts submitted under the I.
and R. law follow:
Child labor bill.
Bank depositors’ guaranty fund.
Publicity law.
Miners’ qualification act, provide
(ing for the establishment of a
! State Miners’ Board.
The law requires that the
amendments be published in every
county in the state for a period of
six months preceding the election
and that the acts submitted be
rm fnr n npriAil nf civ
weeks These laws and amend
ments in full are now being pub
lished in The Journal and voters
should read them carefully so as
to vote intelligently on them in
the September election.
