Three Plain
Business Propositions.

1t requires no deep thinking or elab-
crate investigation to know how to
vote right on the constitutional amend
ments to be adopted or rejected by
the people of Florida today. The
plain common sense and desire to
be fair and just which regulate the
conduct of every good citizen in his
business are all that are necessary
Does ne believe in education and is
he willing to take our state schools
out of politics by putting into the con-
stitution the fixed measure of small
state aid which. they shall receive? II
SO he will vote for the amendment to
Article Twelve of the constitution to
be known as section sixteen of said
article.
Does he believe that our supreme
and circuit judges and judges of Grim
inal courts of record shall be fairly
paid for their work so that men of
the best character and attainments
may be secured for such positions;
and does he believe that the legisla-
ture he helps to elect has honesty
and sense enough to investigate the
question and determine what a fair
salary for such judges shall be? If so
he viii vote for the amendment to
section nine of Article Five of the
constitution relating to such salaries.
Does he believe that if the growth
of the state and the increase in popu-
lation require for the speedy admins.
tration of justice additional judicial cir
cults to be established, that the legis-
lature should be empowered to create
such circuits? If he does he will vote
for the amendment to section thirty.
five of Article Five of the constitution
relating to that subject.
These are all simple business propo-
sitions, the business of government by
the people for the people, and plain
business sense is able to take care of
them.
We, the people of Florida, consti-
tute a great corporation for the trans
action of eur business of wisely gov
eruing the state and promoting its
interests. and to this end we. as the
stockholders, should consider the good
of all and look at the subject in a
large way proportioned to its magni-
tude when We vote in the stockhold-
er's meeting today on the consti-
tutional amendments. If we do this
all three of the amendments will be
carried Certainly they ought to be
carried, for we can conceive of no ar
guulent against them not based in op-
position to the education of the chill
dren of Florida and deep distrust OF
the honesty and intelligence of our
public servants

be urged against any one of these
three amendments upon which the
people are TO vote today. They are
simply designed to bring the Largest
interests of the state, interests vitality
concerning every man, woman and
child in Florida, into correspondence
and consistency with the memorable
conditions under which we live and to
vote them down is to deliberately inn
pede the progress of our very civil
cation itself and commit the people
of Florida TO a policy of injustice to
their children, injustice TO their
judges and injustice to themselves.

amendments today.

large truths in compact and pleasing
form. His latest and one of his best
is from his closing appeal to the pub

expresses an opinion. When 1 say
that a disastrous panic came last fall
