While clouds go sailing by

Where tangled grasses lie.

May envy hill top jewellers

The difference.

The difference between the petition
method and the secret ballot method
of settling public questions is the
same difference as that between the
old open ballot and the Australian
ballot except that in the petition
method thirty days are allowed In
which to hunt up every voter, take
the petition to him, and bring every
kind of pressure to bear upon him,
while in the old "open ballot there
was but one day and the, voter must
be brought to the polls. Therefore
the petition system is still more VIC
ious than the open ballot. We once
had the open ballot in this country
and it was found to be conducive to
every form of corruption. The secret
ballot has done more for clean gov
| eminent and clean politics than any
single innovation since the foundation
of our government. II then the secre
ballot is better than the open ballo
for settling public questions, why VIZ
ask, should the liquor question b'

The Initiative and Referendum.


The essence of the initiative and
referendum is the right of the people
to decide on questions of government
at a secret ballot whenever a speci-
fled percentage of the people shall SO
demand. Why except the liquor ques-
ton? We believe that all public ques-
lions should be thus settled after a
free fair and open discussion. Every
safeguard should be placed around the
expression of the will of the people
SO that fraud, coercion, intimidation.
bribery, etc, will be as far as possible
eliminated Thus far in our develop
ment we have found nothing which
so effectively does this as the secret
ballot.

Good Laws Appeal to others.

This petition scheme has been in
vogue now for eighteen years. Surely
such beneficient law would in that
time have been heralded over the
country and introduced by the temper
ance people in every state of the
Union But no, it has not, Why?
You tell. No other state has ever
dared to even suggest it. With all the
agitation and study of the liquor ques-
tion throughout the country in the
last ten years the temperance people

There Are Two sides.


When this bill was introduced in the
legislature it met severe opposition.
Those opposed to it branded 1t as
vicious dangerous and "in the
interests of the saloon" Such state
ments were sent out broadcast over
the state and a grtat many people,
content to let some one else do their
thinking for them, accepted these
statements as facts and urged its de-
feat. At the same time many earnest
temperance people believed that the
change would be. good step in the in
terests of temperance as well as In
the interests of better government
and cleaner politics and gave the
measure their unqualified endorse
ment. The question now arises, which
OF these views are right. It is the
purpose of this article to present the
side of those who have endorsed the
| bill and all that is asked Is that you
weigh these arguments carefully ane
then beside for yourself which methoc
| is best for Iowa.

Fifth-The Liquor interests Favor It.
Well the liquor interests favor the
mulct law and the petition method. II
it be a fact that they favor this
change it must be that they have de-
cided that the people of Iowa will not
tolerate the infamous petition system
much longer and that rather than take
absolute prohibition they will concede
this much. Or there might be some
! measures of good government that
both friend and foe OF the liquor bust
ness could support, aside from their
effect upon the liquor question. The
Moon law passed by the Thirtythird
General Assembly is concede to be
one of the best temperance laws pass
ed in many years and yet this law
was introduced by senator from 4
wet city and supported in the house
by the great majority of the represen
! tatives from wet counties among them
being those who have been most bit
terly attacked by the temperance PEG
pie. When it finally passed the sen

desires to abrogate the saloon at ths

I, people to express themselves on an,

Who Does Your Thinking?

Many people do not think for them
selves but take the statements of 9th
ers. If their leaders go wrong they
go wrong, too. But more people are
thinking for themselves than ever be
fore and be who would mould public
sentiment and lead the people today
must set forth sound and convincing
reasons for his position. And If the
people would have the best laws and
the best government they must weigh
and consider the arguments and rea
sons before accepting or rejecting 9
proposition to see whether it is fol
the best interests of the people.

Who Worked Out the Petition
Scheme?

The mulct law, including the petit
ton scheme was enacted by the liquor
interests of Iowa The temperance
people have always opposed it. The
petition feature was devised with a
view to the well known fact that a
great many people will! sign petition
under pressure, who would not vote
to legalize the saloon. This fact alone
is responsible for the most of the sa-
looms in Iowa today We seriously
doubt if there is single county in
the state where So per cent of the vot-
ers would vote at secret ballot in
favor of the saloon Why then
should any temperance man in the
state now help perpetuate scheme
devised by the liquor interests and
which has for eighteen years kept us
in bondage to the saloon. Give us the
secret ballot and we will deal the
death blow to the saloon in Iowa.

The shankland Bill.


There has been much discussion
throughout the state on the PROPOSE
ton to change the saloon law SO as
to do away with the petition feature
and substitute therefor secret ballot.
In the last session of the legislature,
a bill known as the Shankland bill,
(H. F.. No. 32S), was introduced by
Hon. F. S. Shankland, of Polk county,
with view to doing this very thing.
The bill proposed no change in the
present liquor law in any way, except
that secret ballot was to be substi-
tuted for the present petition feature.
The maiorities required to operate sa-
looms In the various towns, cities and
counties of the state were to be the
/, same as they now are. The essential
| features of this bill are likely to be
presented to the next general assem-
| bly, again, therefore the people should
know what change is proposed in the
\ law and discuss it freely, fairly and
4 frankly and then impress upon their
Legislators what the people desire to
be done in regard to it,

should not have been allowed as a wife

A PARTISAN ELECTION

The Leader" has surely started
things in this city. We do not now
propose to start any new move, but
the success of the petition of pro-
tests is so wonderful that it believes
its duty is to inform the public about
what they can expect no information
from those now in authority.
The Election Laws OF 1912" are
now published and distributed On
page 124 thereof will be found a
scheme for a non-partisan method Of
electing city officers. This method
will give us two candidates for each
city office. AS our city administra-
tion is now at low ebb, and many
say for the want of a caucus or pri-
mary election, here is where we can
get opposition. Now Offices are going
begging, excepting for someone beg
ging it by peddling his own petition,
and the 'brassy" and unfit officer is
the only one this task agrees with.
1t is opposition that gives the people
their choice. 1t is opposition under
the old caucus system of the city of
Watertown that maintained some
qualifications for city officers
After a petition signed by num-
Der of our qualified electors equal t.
more than ten per centum of the mum

at the last general election is pre-
sented to the clerk of the city, at
least thirty days March I'D prior to
the holding of our election April 2nd,
next, the city clerk shall submit the
question of the adoption of these sec
tons to the electors, and the ques-
ton submitted shall read: Shall sec
ton 35-1 and 95--12 of the statutes
be adopted? Yes. No.
If the majority of the votes cast
at such an election shall be in favor
of the adoption of such section, all
nominations for city offices in such
city shall be thereafter made as pro-
vided therein. This would, at con-
test for aldermen year from now,
give us chance seven days before
the election to hold primary cleo
ton, and at the election day each
ward would have opposing candi-
dates Of non-partisan designation.
While this would not apply during
the coming campaign 1t would apply
for the next city election, and just
thirty days before that another peti-
ton would be necessary to make 1t
apply for two years from now for city
officers.
It's now your chance, you who al
ways talk about non-partisan city
politics, to act or be forever silent.
