VOTE FOR IT.

There is but one constitutional
amendment to be voted upon by the
voters at the November election.
Every voter should cast their ballot
in favor of it. The effect of the
amendment, if adopted, will be to
authorize the Investment of the per-
manent school and university fund
of this state for period of not less
than five or more than twenty years
at an interest rate not less than
three per cent per annum in the
bonds of any county, school district,
city, town or village of this state,
when the bonds to be issued or pur-
chased will not make the entire
bonded Indebtedness of such NUM-
cipalities exceed fifteen per cent of
the assessed valuation of the tax
able real property contained there
in.
The substantial change proposed
by said amendment is to authorize
such investments when the entire
Indebtedness, including the loan in
question, does not exceed fifteen per
cent of the assessed valuation of the
taxable real property in such mu-
inequalities; whereas. under the ex-
listing constitution loans are per-
mitted only where such total indebt-
edness does not exceed seven per
cent of the assessed valuation.

It is believed that every state
bordering on the north will cast its
electoral vote for Mckinley this
year. Montana and Idaho alone are
doubtful, New York was placed in
the Republican column long time
ago and is good for 100, 900 majority.
Indiana is good for from 1000 to
30, 900 majority 1t is believed that
Kentucky, unless the Goebel law
defeats the wish OF the voters of
that state. will go from 10000 to
10000 Republican and Maryland is
good for similar majority Presi-
dent Mckinley seems to have a
