MM : ? - " , fV u. vw - j.; M.-- f . v- - vi - 34 A ?.& - Ir-- Be Sure To Vote On The Amendments There are two proposed amendments to the State Constitution, upon which it will be our duty to vote at the coming election. There has not been very much said about these amendments, as the campaign has been largely along party lines, and speakers have urged us to vote for or against can- didates, without mentioning these amendments. The first amendment proposes to give authority to the governor to appoint the judges and other court officials who now are elected, such appointments to have the approval of the Senate only. pay of our State Senators and Representatives. In our opinion this is a good thing. We should pay our Legislators a fair' remuneration for the time they are required to serve as such. We cannot expect to get the best repesentation in this important branch of our State life if we continue to pay the niggardly consideration which is allowed under the present law. With the lack of incentive for good men to represent us it becomes easier for big business interests to subsidize representatives who will work for their especial good, and often these interests are not for the best good of the people generally. We should do all in our power to see that our most able and unselfish citizens act on our law making bodies. A study of many of our present laws will reveal the sad fact that many of them now are made to favor the big institutions, and make it difficult for the small man to compete with them. , It is easier for big business interests to place their satelites in our law making bodies under the present inadequate salaries than it would be if the pay would justify good men seeking for these positions. By this we do not wish to be understood as saying that none of our representatives at present are able men, but the axiom still remains, that we generally get what we pay for, and if we pay inadequate salaries we can expect .inadequate government. That will hold true in cities as well as in our State affairs. 'Let us vote yes on Amendment No. 2. ,Possibly a better plan can be devjsed for the selection of our judges than the present one, but in our opinion the placing of the selecting and appointing power in the hands of the governor and senate is not the proper answer. protests resisting the granting of said request, with reasons therefor, made in affiIN THE DISTRICT COURT OF davit form, must be filed with THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DIS- the State Engineer, 403 State TRICT OF THE STATE OF Capitol, Salt Lake City 1, Utah, UTAH, IN AND FOR THE with extra copy and $1 filing fee on or before December 3, COUNTY OF DUCHESNE. . 1944.
