Columbus, O.-(Special.)-The Ohio
Building Association League, which
met recently at Cedar Point, took ex'
ception to one of the amendments pro-
posed by the Ohio constitutional con.
yention.
Claiming that proposal No. 8 Of the
constitutional convention was adopted
In the interests Of the lumber and
brick dealers of the state, the Ohio
Building Association League, in con.
vention ct Cedar Point, unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, 1t is we'll known that
proposition No. Of the constitutional
amendments, known as Article III, Sec
tion 33, "Mechanics' and Builders
Liens" enIanated from organizations
of interested material men for their
own purpose and advantage, and in
no name" advances the general well
fare end public good; and,
Whereas, The proposed amendment
docs not benefit the workingman, who
receives his pay weekly, but does
very materially hamper him as 8
home builder;
Resolved, That this league is op-
posed to the adoption of the Amend
nent No. 8. s.
The points brought out in the dis.
cuss!ons were: That this proposal
makes it possible for anyone who has
contributed material to any building
to place lien upon the building
which will take precedence over mort
cages given to build homes. Its prac-
tical effect, according to the building
association men, will be to relieve
the main contractor Of much of the
| responsibility to the material man and
| place 1t upon the shoulders of the
home builder, who may be an entirely
| innocent party. If the amendment
should be adopted, 1t is claimed no

THE SPECIAL ELECTION ON CON-
STlTuTloNAL AMENDMENTS

On Septembae 8, the special cleo
shall decide whether AZ amendments
to the constitution of the state shall
be adopted, will occur
In this election the people will
have a chance to |observe how
liberal application of the initiative
and referendum would operate.
When the voters are asked to de-
complex questions at a single cleo
ton, they begin to realize how con-
fusing the problem is.
1t now appears very improbable
that the great majority of voters will
have a chance to sufficiently inform
themselves as to the various pro-
posals, to the end that they may ex-
ment. Many Ohio newspapers which
are not hostile to the work of the
convention as a whole, now take the
position that sufficient time is not
given the people to familiarize them
selves with the questions which they
must solve.
The conclusion Is inevitable that
at least six months should have
been allowed, as in previous cases,
for the consideration of the work OF
the convention. Even under such
conditions, 1t is doubtful If anything
like full quota of the voting popula-
tion would be able to go deeply into
the problems; but in any case the
people would at least have had the
opportunity.
We are, however, face to face with

study Amendments Hard.

The people of Ohio have usually
been given six months In which to
consider Constitutional amendments.
1t is doubtful If one person in a
thousand is able to determine just
how he should vote on these ques.
tions. The delegates themselves diff.
fered widely on many of them even
after careful study. The safe rule Is,
when In doubt. say no. but 1t Is
80 easy for most people to say yes"
to questions they do not understand
especially If some one asks them
to. People who say mo" must gen.
orally do more thinking than those
wisLy-washy persons who always say
yes, yes" to everything and every.
body.

THE 0HIO FARMER WARNS

The Ohio Farmer of Cleveland, in
leading editorial, warns against
voting for any change IN the consti-
tuition, the effect o. which one is
unable to determine. 1t says:
There has been little discussion
of the amendments to the constitu-
ton which were adopted by the con-
vention and which will be voted on
Sept. 3. The time is short, but the
voters of Ohio should carefully con-
slider every proposed amendment and
vote either yes or mo- when they go
to the polls. Failure to vote will
give more power to those who do
vote. Each of the Nj amendments
should be thoughtfully discussed and
your vote should be based on what
you believe to be for the welfare of
you and your family and your de-
scendants, AS general principle, 1t
Is better to vote mo- on an amend
ment concerning which you are in
grave doubt than to not vote at ALL
1T Is better to endure the Ills wo
have than fly to others that we know
not Of"
