reaponnihl* to the people a* a whole.
The rropo*wj Amendment Ignore*
the Principle "That Public Office
In a I'uMir Trust."
If there ia anything fundamental in
our ayatem of government, it u that
a man wh*n elected to office fxecutes
a trust, that his duty u to the whole
people and not merely to the party
which electa him. In other words,
'that public offirn in a public trust. '
Ihir, however, the so-called election
officer* are not puolic officers at all,
in that their responsibility is not to
the public. They are merely partisan
agents , and the power of the respec-
tive- chairmen to remove them, makes
them answerable to the head of a po-
litical organization and not to the peo-
ple, or their communities or the state.
The Proposed Law Has a Tendency to
Build I p Political Machine*.
It given a job to one Socialist in
every precinct in the State, regardless
of the number of Socialist votes.
There may r>e only one Socia'ist in the
precinct and yet he gets the job, al-
though there may be hundreds of Re-
publicans and Democrat* lie not only
has a job, but he holds it subject to the
will of the Socialist Chairman, and
wholly regardless of the people of
hi* precinct. There are 2,590 election
precincts in the State, and therefore,
this law gives a like number of Social-
juts a job. In addition to this, it gives
another Socialist in every county a
job on the county hoard, and another

one a job on the state board. The
same is true of Republicans and
Democrats. They are required to ,
please their respective chairmen an<J ,
not the people. Can any better scheme i
be devised for building up three po- j

and political considerations pure and J
simple, regardless of the wishes of
the majority?
This Partisan Law Is Proposed a«* a i
Constitutional Provision.
This is not an amendment to the j
statutes of the state. It is an amend-
p«cnt to .he constitution. It cannot In? j
ch i iged b> the legislature. No matter
how soon its defects are demonstrated,
it requires a constitutional amend- i
ment to change it. No constitution in I
the United States descends to such 1
purely partisan purposes. The consti- 1
tution is supposed to declare broad
fundamental policies to restrain the |
legislature from hasty action and con- ,
trol all the departments of govern-
ment. If a rpistake is made in an elec-
tion law passed by the legislature, it
can be corrected by the next legisla-
ture, but the mistake of passing this-i
law cannot be corrected by the legis-
lature, even though every member of
at should concede the mistake. Every
wiae man ought to vote against this
law for no other reason than becauso
it proposed to embody the details of
election machinery in the constitution
of the stato and place it beyond legis-
lative regulation.

RED TAPE TIES
SOLDIER Til SERVICE.
By United Press.
LONDON, «ct. 5.—The British
Army isn't overlooking any bets.
Privat- Knight of Co^ham was dis-
charged from the service May 24,
191.1, suffering from tuberculosis con-
tracted in training. But his name
went marching on through the
branches of the war department while
red tape unravelled at half a dozen
points.
In May 1918 as he lay on his death-
bed at home, Knight received a sum-
mons to report to the colors May 18.
Another warrant came August 10
and another August 24. His mother
has not yet convinced the war office
that its orders will never be carried
out.
