The Constitutional Amend
mentS

For the benefit of those who
want a little enlightenment on the
eleven constitutional amendments
to be voted on next Tuesday, we
give them herewith, with sugges-
tions of how to vote on them.
They are all non-partisan.
First: Granting authority to the
legislature to provide pensions for
aged and disabled police in cities OF
100, 900 and over. 1t is provided
that funds for the payment of such
pension shall be drawn from the
of the cities affected.
This question does rot especially
concern Saline county, except that
many of our citizens will some day
reside in the cities where it will
affect them later. We are strictly
opposed to all forms of pensions
except in case OF persons who
have defended their, country in
time OF war. 1t is class legislation
and when once started knows nc
ending. Vote no.
Second: Authorizing the legisla-
ture to enact a law to pension aged
and disabled teachers in cities oil
100, 900 or over, the money to be
drawn from the local school fund
of cities affected.
The same as No. 1. Teachers
should be paid well, and in cities
thus affected ARE paid well. Vote
no.
Third: Providing for ajax levy
OF 5 per cent on the hundred dollar
valuation for public highway i'm
provement.
If you are in favor of good roads
as we believe you ought to be
vote yes.
Fourth; Permitting 81. Louis L
change its charter. This may b
a Joker, but since the citizens o
Isl. Louis will have a chance to vot'
on the new charter, they ought IT.
have the right to make the change
Fifth: For issuance of $4,000
3 per cent bonds for the construct
ion and equipment OF anew stat
capitol at Jefferson City.
Both the Republican and Demo
cratic platforms favor this amend
ment and It is no doubt aneede'

Improvement for our great state.
Sixth; To enable counties to
build and equip better poor houses.
Ibis proposed amendment does not
apply to st. Louis or, counties con
tanning over 100000 inhabitants.
Vote yes.
Seventh To increase the pay OF
state legislators from S. to $40 a
day during the first ninety days Cd
any session Of the General AS
sembly.
While SIS a day Is small pay, we
believe It is enough as the position
should be one of honor and mot
OF financial gain. There are yet
many patriotic citizens and they
shouid be sent.
Eight: Authorizing alaw per-
hitting the use OF voting machines
at elections. Vote yes.
Ninth: Authorizing alaw for in
crease In the tax rates for town,
city, and school purposes. Vote
yes.
Tenth. To prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale Of Intoxicating Ii
quors except for medical, scientific
mechanical or religious purposes.
This law is too we'll understood
to need further comment. Vote
as you think right and allow your
neighbor the same privilege.
Eleventh: Creating permanent
endowment fund for the support
of the. state university att Column
bia by levying ageneral property
tax of three mills on the dollar
The resulting fund would about
equal at the beginning, the late av-
erage appropriations by the leg
islature for the university's sup
port. These appropriations would
be dispensed with If the amend
ment carried. The fund from the
!, permanent tax would increase will
, the growth in wealth of the state
while the tax rate would nor in
crease. The endowment tax woulo

t basis and be Of great aid to 1T

Do You Believe 1t

The Democratic press is urging
the voters back into line with such
foolishhess as given below. Do
you believe it? If you know they
are trying to deceive you and mis-
represent the facts show your col
ors and let them know you do not
want to be fooled by such rot.
Here's one of the editorials refer
red to-:
"1he Democrat who fails to vote
this year, and who fails to Q
that every other Democrat votes,
will regret it to the end of his
days. There was never a mor i'm
portant election held in the United
States than this one, The outcome
is of far reaching significance to
every citizen of the nation. Are
we to be forever ensiaved and to
be the hewers of wood and drawers
of water, for the trusts and the
favored manufacturers of the East2
A defeat of the Democrat ticket
means higher prices, harder times
and the triumph Of the p~lundering
interests and bloated plutocrats.

Extray agance and lncom'
petencyin County Affairs

Since the last issue of the Re
publican we have been at consid-
cradle trouble and labor to get
the facts concerning the bad man
agement OF our county business,
and while we do not charge the
many shortcomings to any one
individual-still the facts are
enough to condemn each individu-
al in the minds of right thinking
people. The present deplorable
condition is the result of a system
that has been allowed to grow
upon and fatten at the expense OF
the taxpayers and to bar the econ
omic administration of the public
service. The county court is the
chief disbursing agent of the
county revenues,-good roads are
the one important thing for which
all good citizens ~cheerfully pay
their taxes to support-let us see
how well your road fund has been
handled by the court which has ex-
elusive control OF the revenue pro
vided by the people and the results
given in good OF bad conditions.
The estimated e for road
purposes for the ensuing year will
be less than $3SOOO,--the whole
amount for all purposes will be
less than $25O,00O SO you can i:g-
ure the proportion OF the road fund
to the whole amount to be collect
| cd. Now we find that on Oct. Isl
1910 the entire amount collected
under the % cent levy for roads
had been spent and in addition
thereto, there was borrowed fol
account of the road fund the sum
of 1923, 500 add to this amount $780,
to pay for work already under cor
tract-then to this add approx
mately $4,000 which will be needed
to settle with the various road
overseers in November and you
have the snug little sum OF $4,000,
which represents the amount tn,
road fund is in the hole--provideC
no warrents were issued since
October LIST.
Then again five or six per cen
interest must be paid ON this deb
and the interest charged to tn,
same road fund. This is the con
dition of your road fund after yer.
generously voting the rs cent lev.
two years ago. As to the genera
reveEus fund provided for ell othe
county purposes We have not ha,
the time or opportunity of inves
