ELECTION CHANGES By LESTER W. BRANN, |R. President Illinois State Chamber of Commerce Like the candidates who win them, elections and the laws that govern them change. It started out to be a big spring for such changes in the state legislature. Congressional reapportionment, voter re-registration, election consolidation, a primary date change, prohibition ot crossover voting -- these were just a few of the issues that got statewide publicity. Yet only one of these measures --to move the primary election to the first Tuesday in May -- managed to pass both houses. If signed by Gov ernor Walker, it means that potential candidates will no longer be re-quired to file for offices they can't occupy until almost a year later. As for the other bills, they either failed or were left in legislative limbo until the fall session. Some changes in the election code passed, however, that can affect a lot of voters. But news of these was lost in the rush to report on bigger statehouse happenings. Through 11.1030, persons who are temporarily outside the U.S. on business can register to vote by mailing an application to the county clerk of their Illinois residence. Applications for absentee ballots won Id 1 >e permitted up to 1 day before an election through H. 145, rather than the present 3-day limit. Campaign reform legislation of last session re ceived some clarification this spring. Local po litical committees would no longer need a receipted bill for every expenditure over $20 if the Governor approves S. 854. Proof of payment would be sufficient. Another bill that passed, S. 208, allows political committees that act in both state and local capaci ties to file their required statements of organiza tion, contributions and expenses only with the State Board of Election, with copies ot some documents to go to the various county clerks where the committees operate. These are just a few of the more than 40 election changes sent to the Governor. Fewer than one- fourth have been signed. But it they are, voters need to know about them because as election laws change, voting rights will be affected.

Even more important is the fact that once abundant supplies have given way to shortages and a struggle to main tain and develop adequate fuel sources. But the energy crisis of 1-974 is not just a problem for industry and govern ment to solve. It is a situation in; which all Americans^ can help provide a solution. The wise use and con servation of energy is an attainable and wor thwhile goal for the family, as well as the cor poration. The most effective short term way to control rising costs and maintain adequate supply for residential users is to use y energy in the most ef ficient manner. According to the American Gas Asso ciation, the top ener gy savers in the home are: (1) 24-hour ther mostat set back to 68 degrees F during the cold months (save up to 15% on your heating costs). (2) Adequate ceiling in sulation (if you have no ceiling insulation and in stall 6 inches, you should save up to 17 percent of your heating and cooling costs and your pay back period due to fuel savings will average about 2 years). (3) Water heater set back to 120 degrees F or warm setting (save up to 15% of water heating costs). (4) Weather strip ping or caulking. (5) Fur nace and air conditioner tune-up -- clean air filters frequently. (6) Storm doors and win dows (save up to 20% of your heating and cooling costs. The pay back period is roughly 10 years for permanent units). (7) EIGHTH CHILD /A/ A FAMILY OF NINE CHILDREN, BORN IN MARTINEZ, CALIF., 11/25'//4, "THE YANKEE CUPPER."...

Air conditioning ther mostat set no higher than 78 degrees F (save up to 15% of your cooling costs). (8) Eight hour thermostat set back at night (save up to 9% of your heating cost). (9) Reduction of bathing water consumption by one third. (Save up to 14% on your water heating cost). If all these things were done, a total potential savings of up to 40% could be achieved. If an overall savings of 10% were achieved in home energy con servation, this would be more than enough energy required to supply 4 million new homes for a year. Energy conservation in the home can make a m e a s u r a b l e a n d significant contribution to solving the current and future energy supply situation, while new sour ces ot energy are discovered and delivered to energy hungry America.
