One Of the amendments proposes
to ix one mill tax for educational
purposes Of the State. The adoption
by the people Of this proposed amend

II the people think this should be
done they will vote for it IT, con-
sidering this amendment it should,be
remembered tuat there sTe now six

there were only three.
The third proposed amendment
seeks to empower the Legislature to

Of the State are quite large and the

When Mr. Edison died she was incon,
