PROPOSED MEMBERSHIP REFEREN
DUMS,

New Windsor local has initiated the
following proposed amendment to our
state party constitution:
Amend section of article vi, by add
ing the following words: Provided that
a special stamp shall be furnished by
the state secretary at cost, to be used
when any party member may be tenn
porarily unable to pay dues on account
of unemployment. Unemployment shall
mean either sickness, strikes, lockouts
or any other cause beyond the control
of the member. Any member unable to
pay dues shall notify the financial sec
retary of his organization of such in
ability and the secretary shall affix the
special stamps in the same manner as
the regular dues stamps. The accept
ance of these stamps by any member
snail in no way act to disqualify such
member from any and all the rights and
privileges of members paying dues, ex-
cept that the organizations shall not be
allowed to report to the state office more
votes cast than the organization has paid
dues for; otherwise the whole vote of
that organization will be rejected"
New Windsor local has initiated the
following state membership referendum:
"The salary of the state secretary of
the Socialist party shall be $500 a
month until May l, 1913"
Both of the above proposed referen-
dums will remain open for seconding Of
same for 80 days, or until enough do SO
that are equal to either 10 per cent. Of
the membership or 10 per cent. of the
organizations in the state, from not less
than two other counties besides Weld.

tract for the purchase.
There was a time when West End
was a separate town and farther
away from the real active center of
Atlanta than WESTLAND ES-
TATES is now. Park and Lee streets
and all those fine thoroughfares were
far out in the county. When you
went out to the old Adair homestead
you were in the country. And so
WESTLAND ESTATES, with all of
its natural beauty. and some i'm
provements which will be made. long
before the young man of Atlanta has
reached old age, become an integral
part of the city itself, and no doubt
far within the city's boundaries.
1t does not require that the man
who makes this statement should be
the seventh son of a seventh son or
gifted with any superior power Of
prophecy or be acquainted with the
mysteries of reading the future. As
Patrick Henry said, The only way
we can Judge the future is by the
past, and Atlanta, continuing to in
