This committee found that the claims OF

Voters to Pass on Three Amendments.
Three proposals to amend the con
stitution of Wisconsin win be SUI
mitted to the voters of the stale ON
the ballot at the November election.
They are as follows:
No. 1-Relating to pay Of members
of the legislature
No. 2-Relating to apportionment.
No. S-Relating to internal improve.
ments.
Amendment No. provides for the
amendment of section 81 of article (.
raising the pay of members of the leg
islature from $500 to $1,000 per an
mum. The original constitutional pro-
vision was for the payment of mem
bers of the legislature, senators and
assemblymen. at the rate of $3.50 per
day for each days attendance Turing
the session and ten cents per mile for
every mile he shall travel in going to
and returning from the place of meet
ing.
The purpose of amendment No. 2 is
really to provide a way to abandon
the state census and accept the decen-
NAL census of the national govern
ment as the basis of apportionment
of members of the legislature. The
proposal now submitted win require
an apportionment only once in ten
years. The amendment submitted ON
the ballot Is as follows:
Section 3. At their first session
after each enumeration made by the
authority OF the United States, the
legislature shall apportion and district
anew the members of the senate and
assembly, according to the number OF
inhabitants, excluding Indians not
taxed, soldiers, and officers OF the
United States army and navy"
The third proposition to be submit
ted is for the purpose OF permitting
the legislature to appropriate money
for certain specified internal improve
ments now forbidden by the funda-
mental law.
The constitution now provides that
the state shall never contract any
debt for works of internal improve
ment or be party in carrying on
such works. The legislature. having
in mind the conservation of natural
resources, proposed an amendment
which will do away with this obstacle
as it relates at least to the class of
internal improvements or better
meuts
Provided. that the state may appro-
pirate moneys for the purpose of ac-
quiring, preserving and developing the
water power and the forests of the
state; but there shall not be appro-
priated under the authority of this
section in any one year an amount
to exceed two-tenths of one mill of
the taxable property of the state as
determined by the last preceding state
assessment"
These amendments all are submit
ted on the big ballot for the Novem-
Der election and must be voted for
separately by yes or mo" in squares
printed on the ballot for that pur.
pose.
