QUESTIONS ON
LITTLE BALLOT
Three Propositions to Be Voted
on by People of Illinois
Suggested.
REFORM ASSOCIATION ACTS
Starts Movement for Big Petition to
Be Circulated Throughout
the State.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-In a race against
time, the committee of seven of the
Peoria good government conference
yesterday started campaign to obtain
days to a petition asking that three
public policy questions be printed on
the little ballot for the November cleo
tions. The three propositions the COM
mittee desires to submit to the electors
refer to extension of the civil service
laws, initiative and referendum, and
corrupt practices legislation.
Hopes to Spread Light.
In it's announcement last night the
committee said:
I'm this way the committee hopes
that the three measures may receive
the fullest discussion. Especially is
this important at the present time, in
view of the exposures of legislative cor
ruption, the known esponsiveness
of the legislature to public demands,
and the belief that the enactment of
these fundamental measures will rem
der easier the adoption of other needed
legislation.
Signing the petition does not COM
NIT one to the proposition. The signer
remains free on election day to exer-
else his judgment after hearing the
discussion which will take place dur
ing the campaign. A signature to the
petition merely helps make possible
the submission of these questions of
public policy to the consideration of
the voters"
Questions on Petition.
The petitions contain the three fol
lowing questions:
Shall the next general assembly
submit to the voters of the state of
Illinois at the next following state
election an amendment to the state
constitution providing for the con-
troll of legislation by the people,
by means of the initiative and ref
erendum, said amendment to pro-
videN for the initiation of legisla-
tion uponNa petition of per cent
of the voters, and for the reference
of legislation upon petition of
per cent of the voters, the action
of the majority of the electors vot-
ing to be final, thus restoring to
the people the power they once
held, but which they delegated to
the general assembly by the con-
stitution?
Shall the next general assembly
extend the merit system by the en-
actment of comprehensive and
adequate civil service law, thus
promoting efficiency and economy?
Shall the next general assembly
enact corrupt practice act, limit
ing the amount candidate and his
supporters may spend in seeking
office, and providing for an item
lied statement under oath showing
all expenditures so made, for what
purpose made, and from what
source or sources received, thus
preventing the corrupt use of mon
ey at elections?
Seeks Advice.
The committee announces that it
seeks the advice and cooperation of all
citizens to whom an effort looking to-
ward the political regeneration of Illi-
nois appeals '1f interested" it says,
write or call at one of the Offices of
the committee, 1908, 20 Dearborn
street, Chicago. or 30S Odd Fellows
building, Springfield. Petitions may be
obtained at either Office"

Republican State Convention
to Meet at Springfield
Sept. %.
ROW STARTED
Colonel Frank l.. Smith Introduces
Resolution Aimed at Slush
Fund But 1t Fails.

The republican state committee, in
session yesterday at the Grand Pa
cific hotel, Chicago, issued the official
call for the republican state conven-
ton, to be held in the state arsenal
at Springfield at IL o'clock a. m.
Sept. %.
The convention is called for the
purpose Of nominating three candi-
of Illinois, the adoption of a party
platform, "and the transaction of
such other business as may come be-
fore the convention"
Colonel Frank L. Smith of Dwight,
collector of internal revenue for the
Springfield district and a probable
candidate for the republican nomina-
! ton for governor in 1912, surprised
| the committee just at the close of the
! brief session by introducing a resoIu-
tion demanding that the collection of
slush fund from state employees be
| stopped.
Aimed at Deneen.
The resolution, aimed at Governor
! Deneen, as Colonel Smith explained,
did not receive a second and no vote
was taken upon it. Immediately
after this failure of action the COM
mittee adjourned.
The resolution offered by Colonel
Smith is claimed by some of the poll
ticians to be the opening of a fac
tional fight which will only end with
the November election two years
hence, and a possible basis of the
campaign which is scheduled to be
made by Colonel Smith and his allies
against the state administration.
Tells why He Introduced 1t.
In explanation of the resolution,
Colonel Smith said that in his county
of Livingston, in which is the/Pontiac
reformatory, collection monthly is
being levied upon the employees and
is being used by the Deneen republi-
can leaders in the county to defeat
the Smith element which is in con-
troll of the republican county organi-
zation.
Apportionment Of Delegates.
The state convention will be COM
posed of 1875 delegates, based upon
the vote cast for Taft and Sherman,
one delegate for each 400 votes or
major fraction thereof being the basis
of representation.
