DO THEY HOLD

The impression seems to prevail that
there will be no election next spring
for mayor, treasurer, clerk and police
judge, made so by a recent enactment
of the legislature. This is a conclusion
arrived at by some of the ablest lawyers
in the state. According to the law per
taining thereto, the terms of the oflficiala
are extended one year or till April,
1909.
This act was passed with the emerg
ency clause and became effective March
15, 1907. This act does not seem to af
fect in any way the terms of members
of the city council, four having been
elected in this city in April, 1907, for a
term of two years, which is exactly what
the ne'w law directs. The law also pro
hibits any man holding an elective city
office from holding a county office at the
same time and the acceptance of a coun
ty office is declared to render the city
office vacant.
In chapter 13 of the session laws of
1907, appears as the enactment of " House
Roll No. 254," extended amendments to
the laws previously governing cities of
5,000 to 25,000 population.
In these amendments appears a sec
tion directing the election of a mayor,
treasurer, clerk and police judge at the
annual election in April, 1907, "for a
term of two years and biennially there
after." It is especially set forth that
this amendment to the law "shall not
shorten the term of office for which any
of the said officers above mentioned may
have been heretofore elected, anil all of
said officers heretofore elected shall hold
their office until their successors are
elected and qualified under and by vir
tue of the provisions of this act."
If the views of some of the most em
inent jurists of the state hold good, then
Mayor Gering, Treasurer Clements, Po
lice Judge Archer and Clerk Elster will
hold over to 1909, this amendment ex
tending their times to April of that year.
As we understand it, this law does not
interfere with the election of members
of the city council next spring.
There is another provision which per
haps will be of interest to those ladies
who believe in woman suffrage, where
in it provides that "all officers except
the city treasurer, shall be qualified elec
tors of the city, entitled to vote at all
elections. A resident freeholder, regard
less of sex, shall be qualified to hold the
office of city treasurer."
