Hiacltweli. \V hile th ??' majouty of thesjj are local in their application, 11, which arc state-Wide in their scope, would effect far-reach ing change* t|i the state government. Chief among the state; wide meu hUies an- th'o-c relating to biennial sessions of the general assembly and four yean terms for constitutional state officers, it has been pointed out, because of their effect upon. the. structure of ? thtt stat? . government itself, and the continuity of >crvieo of its officials. Among the proposed changes in .the constitution of state-wide impor tance are the following joint resolu tions; . . A measure to provide for submis^ . sion to the voters of a 10-million dol lar bond issue for carrying out a building and improvement program foV state educational, penal and char itable institution's. A resolution to provide for e.Yimina ttem of the constitutional threo niill school tax. A resolution providing for extra sessions of tne legislature. A joint resolution for the levy of an annual tax biennially. A measure to change the term of constitutional state officers from two lo four years. in .duration. A resolution to provide for a four year tt-rm for the state superintend ent i?f education. A measure to piovide J.ur of the general #<S'mbfy*V^ A joint resolution relating t ? ? the area of school districts. A resolution t<? change the fiscal .ear mi as to begin on July I, in stead of on .January 1 of each year. A resolution adopted by bo'h houses of the legislature to change, 'he term of office of the attorney general from two to four years, and a similar resolution to change the term of the. governor to the same length of tinn*. 'Essentially the same measures a * 'hose were introduced at the 1022 .ses sion of the legislature, ut failed of pu&sage in the house of represe ntn 1 ives. .Joseph U. Hryson, of Greenville, a surviving member of the original group in the house, reintroduced the . ? < iot ted ? measure in ? thr Inwcr house "< f the general assembly at the begin ning of the 1024 ^ession. At th^ same time other and similar meas^ sure* were introduced in the senate by S. II. Mc(.?hee of CJreenwood. , This year the proposed constitu tional changes met with a more/fa vorable reception than they recy^vel two years ago, as a result of Which they were passed by the housej ^ind sent to the higher .legislative Ift-id y . They were also passed, and {the* acts were signed bv (lovemor Thonftus CI. McLeod. Inasmuch as a change in the con stitution may be made only through passage of an act twice by the gen eral assembly and ratification once by ?he people, the second step in carry - .ng the measures toward completion will take place when the people ex press their wishes in each case during the general election, a little over a month away. Should the people \nte favorably upon the joint resolutions, they will come again before the legislature at the beginning of its 1 025 session for final considerat ion. As in the case of all. constitutional amendment*, these proposed mea sures will require a two-thirds major ity of tllu.se voting m order to receive popular approval and be returned Jo the legislature. While eight million dollars of the ? h>, IMKI, POO bond issue would be used for state educational, penal and char itable institution*, the legislators who framed the measure wrote into the m!I the pro\ i>ion that two million < i < > I ;ir- should be used in aiding the erec tion of public high school buildings in v .ties, towns and rural districts.
