and it is question N which every CITY in the
State is Or should be personally OF directly

petition realizing the fact that no necessity ex

around the ballot box However IT is the opin.

datory and that the Australian system or regis

to spend large sum OF money for which there
is need and which do no possible good,
inasmuch as the poll tax amendment is more

problem that should be solved by the present

seems to be effective solution.
