State amendment asked
TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI)—The Kansas House of Representatives Wednesday passed and sent to the Senate a proposed constitutional amendment to reduce the number of state elective officers.
Eighty-four votes or a two-thirds majority was needed, and the proposal passed on a roll call tally of 95-20. If the Senate approves the proposition, it will be placed before Kansas voters in November.
Under the amendment, Kansans in 1974 would elect only the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state and attorney general. The present elective offices of auditor, treasurer, printer and insurance commissioner would be abolished.
The new elective officers would serve four-year terms instead of the current two-years.
The governor and lieutenant governor would also run as a team similar to the president and vice-president on the national level.
Apparently fearing the proposal might fail in the lower chamber, Speaker of the House Calvin A. Strowig, R-Abilene,
held a caucus of House Republicans and lectured them on the importance of the measure.
Strowig also spoke on the House floor before the vote emphasizing that they were actually voting on whether the people should have an opportunity to vote on the amendment.
"I know there are things in this proposition that I and you may disagree with, but you are to decide whether the people will have an opportunity to vote on this," the GOP leader said.
"At that time, you and they will have an opportunity to register your objections if any."
