A local bill of mneh interest to elti* zens of Amerions has just been intro duced in the House by Bepresentative Hixon of Sumter and the chanoes are that it will pass aad become a law, though Representative Lane will op* pose ila passage as before. The measure seeks to change the method of electing members of the Po lice Commission of Amerions, now a ■elf perpetuating body. The same bill was introdnoed at the heel of the last session by Bepresenta tive Joiner of Hnmter, and was favora bly considered by many members bnt, largely owing to the lateness of the time of its introduction, Mr, Joiner failed to get it throngb. But better success is hoped for at this session. In faot, Bepresentative Hixon is fully of the opinion that his measure, a very exeellent one, will go through at this session. At present the police board here baa absolute eon - ol of the police force, while the city conneil has nothing to do with the employment of the men and are not permitted to give them an order or in anywise diroat members of the force in thedisebarge of their duty. This condition not infriquently brings about a great deal of friction be * tween the two bodies. The bill introdnoed by Bapreasnta- live Hixon seeks to make members of the poliee board elective by the people of Amerions, as are all other offlolMa and employes, with Ithe mayor of the oity, whoever he may be, as an ex-offi'- eio member of the commission. Under the present method the mem bers eleet their their successors, mak ing the board self perpetuating. Borne of them have been on the board for a long period of years. Many citizens hope the bllljwiil pass, and the measnre will be watehed with mnoh interest. What objection ean there, be to a measnre which places this important question before the people.
