XVII AUGUST, 1948 NO. 1 Published Quarterly, August, November, February and May, by the Bar Association of the State of Kansas. $5.00 Per Annum Members $1.50 Single Copy $2.00 Address communications to Franklin Corrick, Third Floor, Statehouse, Topeka, Kansas Entered as Second Class Matter, August 20, 1932, at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Copyright 1932, by Journal of the Bar Association of the State of Kansas. AMENDMENT TO KANSAS CONSTITUTION AFFECTING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND DISTRICT COURT JUDGES (PROPOSED) The Kansas Legislature in 1947 (Chap. 249, Laws 1947) submitted to the voters at the next general election (November 2, 1948) a proposition to amend Section 13 of Article 3 of our Constitution so as to read: Sec. 13. The justices of the supreme court and judges of the district courts shall receive for their services such compensation as may be provided by law, which law shall become effective on the second Monday in January of the next odd-numbered year after its enactment, and such justices or judges shall receive no fees or per- quisites nor hold any other office of profit or trust under the authority of the state, or the United States, nor practice law in any of the courts in the state during their continuance in office. This amendment, if adopted, makes two principal changes in our present Constitution: First, it provides that any act of the Legislature pertaining to salaries of the justices of the Supreme Court or of judges of the District Court shall not take effect for about two years, but that then it shall be effective as to all members of the Supreme Court or to all judges of the District Court. This time for an act changing such salaries to take effect corresponds with the section of our Constitution (Sec. 15, Art. 1) pertaining to the effective date of statutes fixing salaries of the Governor and other executive state officers. Under our present Constitution it is inequitable to members of the Supreme Court, each doing the same work, for two of the justices to have a change of salary effective in two years, others not until four years, and others not until six years after an act fixing such salaries is passed by the legislature.
