Rheumatism, which does its terrible

The principal objection Of the minor
ity in both houses of the legislature to
the majority bill seemed to be against
the kind of a referendum proposed.
They advocated a fair-and-square test
before the people as to whether the
local option act should be accepted or
not. They criticised the majority
referendum as a jug-handled affair,
with the handle turned toward the
license advocates. The line of their
argument is detailed in our legislative
report, also the views held by the ma
iority as TO their referendum. From
our standpoint we can see little
difference between the two. A Yes
vote in either event would carry the
act into effect at once. A mo" vote
would in all human probability work
the same way under either bill. In the
face of such a result, the next legisla-
ture could be as safely entrusted to re-
peal the license law as could that of 80
to repeal the ohibitory law which
came in under the same kind OF refer
endum as we are now to have. While a
straight vote would otherwise have
been preferable, the doubt that exists
as to its conslitutionality is sufficiently
strong to warrant steering clear OF it.
Voters viii have no difficulty in under
standing that Yes" vote means one
favorable to the act and a mo- vote
means direction to the next legisla-
ture to repeal it.

The desperate struggle OF the prohit

more than justifies the contentious OF
the local option party in the recent

It is strongly limited that some OF
the cities and large towns that are
hit hard by the state highway tax
will. if the move to increase the tax
to ten cents prevails, carry the ques-
ton to the courts to test the con-
stitutionality of an act that takes
from the wealthy localities and gives
to the poorer sections with the
avowed purpose boldly stamped on
its face. The courts have commonly
held to the principle that taxes
collected either from the individual
or taken outside the municipality
should bear some other relation to the
parties involved than that one is
able to pay and the other needs aid.
Even this plea is wanting now, for
the tax rates of some of the towns
and cities that would lose heavily
under this law are considerably above
the average rate throughout the
state. The courts could not Judge as
to the reasonableness of the tax rate
but simply as to its justice based on
principles of government, and if they
were to say that ten cent tax is
constitutional there is no reason why
twenty cent or a fifty cent state
highway tax would not be equally
legal. The small towns may even
lose what they now have if they show
too much greediness.
