Prohibition Amendment.

The state league that ia fighting the
prohibition amendment to our state con
stitution to be voted on at the coming
election are pretty badly scared already
and arc working like Turks to defeat
the amendment. They are spending a
large amount Of money with all Of the
newspapers Of the state that will carry
their advertising for pay and nrc flood
ing the state with campaign literature
In their attempt to turn the voters u.
gninst the adoption Of the amendment
Their arguments are the same old
stock in trade that the liquor dealers
have been using since the FIRST move
was made for prohibition. Their whole
cry Is Prohibition does not prohibit
and Prohibition ruins the buHines5 Of

Democratic Campaign Talk,

The Enterprise continues to harp on
taxes simply for campaign purposes.
1t seems to forget that, even II its
statements were correct, II would be
giving a very black eye to the only
democratic board Of county commission
ers the county has had during the past
twelve years and that on the record Of
that board the democrats must make
their campaign so far as the county
commissioners are concerned.
There is absolutely nothing in the
two columns devoted to this question
by the Enterprise that is available for
democratic campaign capital. When
the Enterprise has had It's say on this
question, the Herald will have some
thing TO say.

Bank Guaranty Law.

The much talked of lauk guaranty
bill for which the last democratic logis-
lature claimed so much credit will not
be submitted to the voters at the com
ing election. a part Of this measure
was referred to a vote Of the people by
the legislature and the balance was re-
ferred by petition.
The question Of the regularity Of the
passage Of the measure was recently
raised In court and an order was asked
restraining the secretary Of state from
publishing the measure for the vote Of
the people. The court has held the
measure unconstitutional and granted
an order restraining the publication Of
the same.

Last week he had much to say be-

poor commissioners spent s10.629.-

ng the year ending Sept. 80, 1912,
according to their report submitted
to the board of supervisors Friday

43,-24 males and 10 females. There
are 33 there at the present time,

Believing that the schedules might be
still further revised, President Taft
created the tariff board. an organize
ton of experts, who dealt with the
tariff problem from a business point
of view and who suggested further
changes. The Democratic house of
representatives ignored these we'll

legislated the tariff board out of ex.
istence. The tariff bills vetoed by
President Taft were framed by a COM
mittee OF fourteen Democrats, eleven
of whom are lawyers and the other
three have had no business expert

President Taft has enforced the en-
ployers' liability act and approved the
extension of its provisions 80 that en-

line Of the Union to California, up tho
Pacific coast to Seattle, and back
across the heart Of the country from
Kansas City to st. Louis. to Chicago.
to Detroit. to Pittsburg.
Everywhere laborers are needed in
the harvests. the forests, the mines.

roads, for the construction Of public
highways and in our great Industrial
centers.
Even within a hundred-mile radius
OF New York city the call Is no less
insistent. Labor agencies cannot sup.
ply the demand there. Contractors
need manual help for aqueducts, tun,
nels, building excavations. There IL
