Seven Amendments To Be Voted Oh
In Election Tuesday November 8
Voters will have the oppor-
tunity November 8th to vote on
the upcoming 7 Constitutional
Amendments. The changes pro-
posed in these amendments cov-
er a wide range Of subject mat-
ter and each deserves your at-
tention. Bartlett Williamson County
voters will cast their votes at
the now" Bartlett Electric Co-
operative building while Bart-
lett Bell County .voters will vote
at the Soil Conservation build
ing. Polling hours are from 7
a. m. to 7 p. m.
AMENDMENT 1 would in-
crease the size of the State
Court of Criminal Appeals one
of the most overworked appel-
late courts in tho nation from 5
to 9 members and permit judges
to sit in panels of 3 to speed re-
view and decisions on cases.
Proponents contend that some
thing must be done to relieve
tho courts workload and pro
mote speedy justice. The oppo
sition argues that increasing
the size of the court is j tem-
porary measure and a merging
of civil and criminal courts
would be better.
AMENDMENT 2 would pro-
vide another $200 million to fi-
nance low interest loans for war
veterans to purchase land. Un-
married widows of veterans
who died in line of (Juty would
"be eligible to buy land under

political subdivisions to

Opponents argue that this
would erode the tax ba3e parti-

AMENDMENT 5 would per-
mit the legislature to authorize
producers of poultry livestock
and other raw agricultural com-
modities to form associations
and collect assessments on sales
of their products. The amend-
ment further would validate a
1967 act authorizing .the asso
ciations and assessments. Sup
porters maintain the nrocrram

vices including fund transfer
terminals at stores and other
I'emote locations. Pro argu-
ments emphasize providing
customers with an optional me-
thod of paying bills speeding
transactions and savings on the
mail. Opponents see tho amend-
ment as a foot in the door for
branch banking and a needless
complication to checkbook bal-
ancing. AMENDMENT 7 would
change the name of the State
Judicial Qualifications Com-
mission to tho State Commis-
sion on Judicial Conduct. It
would also .change the member-
ship to include 'four citizen
members (now there are three)
and add one justice of the!
peace. The Commission and the
Supreme Court would gain pow-
er to suspend judges with or
without pay pending disposition
of misconduct complaints and
to authorize public as well as
private reprimands. Proponents
argue that weaknesses in tht
current system would be reme-
died by giving the commission
a more appropriate name and
more powers. Opponents note
that judges already are answer-
able" to the voters and there are
alternative methods of remov-
ing the judges who go astray.
