Study the Amendments.

The Marion Star insists that we
take time to give little much-needed
attention to the loaded constitutional
amendments some professional lobby
lists are trying to slip over on us while
we are not looking. There is much
need of discrimination in considering
the AZ propositions we are asked to
take snap judgment upon Sept. 8.
"a few of them can safely be ap-
proved, lot of them are vicious, a
number of them are dangerously ex-
perimental and the rest belong in our
statutes where they have always
been. The voter should carefully
study them, taking the advice of no
special advocate, vote for those which
accord with his judgment and con.
science and vote against every one he
does not understand or which appears
doubtful.
The old constitution has been very
serviceable, 1t has grown comfortable
with use and familiarity and is not
worn out. 1t may not be in the latest
style. but it is in good shape. We
have prospered under 1t and can
continue to do it. If you think the
proposed patches improve it, vote for
them, but be sure that you are not
doing damage instead of repairing H."

The SINGLE TAX IS ASSURED
Mr.. BigeoW Confident That With the
|. and r. His Flve-City Organiza-
tion Can Remove Restriction.

There follows the leading editorial
in the Ohio State Journal of July 13:
"The Con. Con. put in the pro-
posed constitution a provision that
the initiative and referendum should
not be used to enact a single tax law.
That didn't disturb the single takers
very much, for they are out in full
force for the initiative and referen-
dunn. Why? Because that provision
affords the opportunity for striking
out the prohibitive section. If they
get votes enough to decree the single
tax, they will get enough to repeal the
restrictive section.
what the single takers want is the
opportunity to urge their favorite the
ory before the people. Very soon after
the proposed amendment is adopted,
there will be petitions to amend the
constitution, and when that is done,
then the single tax fight will be on in
earnest. One would think the lead
ers in the single tax movement would
be disgruntled by excepting the single
tax from the operation of the l. and
R., but they are not. They are as
eager as ever. Their eloquence re-
sounds along the valleys and over
the hilltops."

CONSIDER THEM CAREFULLY
The Voter Should Learn the Force Of
Each Amendment-We Progressed
Wonderfully Under the Old
Constitution.

1t is only about six weeks, Mr..
Voter, until you will be called upon
to vote upon forty-two amendments
to the organic law of the state. Some
of the proposals are radical, some
even revolutionary in their effect. UP
to the present time, they have not
been intelligently presented by their
sponsors to the general electorate.
The selfish coterie, which took pos
session of the constitutional conven-
ton and dominated it's action, re-
fused to give proper time for con-
sideration and study to the electors
and, instead, provided for the submis-
sion of what is, in effect, new con-
stitution upon two months notice at
special election in the midst of an
engrossing national campaign and
while the farmers are, perforce, busy
in their fields. They also provided
that only the majority of the affirma-
tive votes cast on each of the pro-
posals should be necessary to its rati-
fication. In the past, the voter at elec-
tions at which constitutional amend
mnts were submitted who failed or
refused to vote on one of The propo-
sails had his vote practically counted
in the negative, as the old constitu-
tional provision required the affirma-
tive vote of a majority of all voting
Il, - Iar-
this new provision.
The Star proposes to discuss the
proposals fully and without bias, and
it urges earnest study upon the part
of the electors and all interested in
public questions, but it also renews
it's suggestion that, after dutifully
seeking light and guidance upon the
various proposals, the voter, who is
not thoroughly satisfied that any or
all of the changes proposed are
not of great prospective benefit,
| should, in the interest of safety, vote
against it or them. The state has
prospered and progressed wonder
| fully under the old constitution. 1t
has been buttressed and made plain
and forceful by a half century of
court decisions. 1t is not to be lightly
destroyed. And we say this in the
| face of the fact that we favor some
of the proposals and oppose others,
including those which affect matters
which are and should remain as statu-
| tory regulations.-Marion Star.

issue S50,O00,000 in bonds for the
Improvement of the roads in the
state is one that is of vital interest to
every resident of Ohio. AT first fifty
millions may sound very large and
may seem like a great burden upon
the taxpayer, but when it is consider
ed that the cost on every $1,000 OF
taxable property will be but 26a cents
year and the average per capita
cost to the. people of the state, but 53
cents annually, the cost will be very
triAing compared with the benefits
received. This will mean the i'm
provement of all roads in the county,
so that the farmer living on the
"cross road" will have just as good a
road as though he lived upon the
main roads which the land owner
must help pay for although he may
live mile back from the road so i'm
proved. Every citizen should sup
port the Good Roads amendment.

The REFERENDUM IN OREGON
Charges of Fraud In Connection
With the Petitions Knock
Out the Vote.

Salem, Ore.-(SpeciaL- L-Argume
were heard today before the state
supreme court in the University of
Oregon referendum case-a case
which involves alleged frauds under
the referendum phase of the "Ore-
gon system" Before the law appro-
priating $503,000 for buildings and
extensions of the University of Ore
gon at Eugene went into effect, petit
tions asking referendum on the bills
were filed with the secretary of state.
Examination of the petitions by
friends of the university is said to
have disclosed frauds and irregulari-
ties sufficient to justify suit to en-
join the secretary of state from put
ting the question ON the ballot for
next November.
Evidence Introduced In the trial Of
the Injunction suit In the circuit
court indicated that the greater part
of the $4,000 names on the petitions
were secured by paid circuIators at a
few cents per name, and that In the
case of seven circuIators gross frauds
were charged.
TWO LISTS OF NAMES WE'RE
SECURED, 1T is ALLEGED, BY
HANGING THE PETITIONS IN A
SALOON IN ASTORA, AND AN.
OTHER LIST OF ONE HUNDRED
NAMES FROM THE DALLAS Is
SAID TO HAVE CONTAINED THE
NAMES OF MEN DEAD FOR
YEARS. EVIDENCE WAS SO
CONCLUSIVE THAT THE DEFEND.
ERS OF THE PETITIONS HAD TO
ADMIT THAT 3.77S NAMES WE'RE
FRAUDULENT. BEING FORGED
AND IN ADDITION SOME 4,525
NAMES WERE PRESENTED IN A
FORM DECLARED VOID BY A PRE-
VIoUS DECISION OF THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
Elimination of these names brought
the number of unattached names be
low the limit required to call refer
endum. The secretary of state. how
ever, contends through counsel thai
part of the 4,525 names should bt
considered good-enough Of these be
ing claimed to insuye the referendum
The university won It's case in the
circuit court the judge scoring thu
fraudulent means used In securing
many Of the siglstures. In the brie
filed on appeal the uaissrsity con
tends that even the names anassaile'
by direct evidence should be leoke'
upon with suspicion because o
frauds admitted on the remainder o
the petition.
The final decision in the case Il
awaited with keen interest by botl
the friends and opponents OF the Ore
gon system of popular government.

UNINTELLIGENT TITLES

It is justly asserted by those who
have followed closely the work of the
recent constitutional convention that
1t is not expected that voters shall
wait until they enter the election
booth the 3rd of next September to
decide how they are going to vote on
the AZ proposed amendments to the
constitution. If IL ey do, they will
certainly find themselves in maze
of mystery, for the ballot will be in
such brief form that those not posted
beforehand will have little idea what
'hey are voting on Salem Newa

SPEAKING ABOUT LOVE
FOUR CHERISHED ApAGES AaE
CALLED MERE JOKES.
PessTmistlc Writer Undertakes to
Show That These oft4Quoted Ex-
pressons Concerning Tender
Passion Are Only Nonsense.

In regard to love we hear express
sions like these:
Love rules ALL"
y "All the world loves lover"
"a maid should obey the dictates of
heart"
Love laughs at locksmiths."
And others too numerous to men,
ton.
Perhaps the first one is the best
joke of the lot. Love rules all! That
Is one of the funniest things you ever
heard! Some even go so far as to
think children can be ruled by love.
1t has been seen in practice. This is
the way it works:
Come, now Johnnie. Come, dear"
Not bulge from Johnnie.
Come on, darling. Mamma wants
you to come now, sweetheart. Come
on"
Nothing stirring.
Johnnie must come now. Johnnie be
a good boy Mamma will give Johnnie
cookey tomorrow"
"Donwanto."
"Oh, yes, you must come! 1t Is get
ting late now. Come on, dear"
Johnnie doesn't.
Come on, now, Johnnie. You must
come. Mammals tired Of waiting.
Mamma spank!"
Johnnie still unconvinced.
Whack! Whack! Whackl
Johnnie comes.
"All the world loves lover!" An
other joke.
What do we love about him? Per-
haps the florist and candy man love
him, and that's about the extent of it..
In the olden days when the lover did
great deal Of signing and desperate
hair pulling and provided entertain
ment for the neighbors by eloping
with the girl once in a while, people
felt mildly grateful for the show. But
1t hardly amounts to love. And GER
tainly his serenading beneath her lat
tice was more likely to bring brickbats
than demonstrations of affection.
"a maid should obey the dictates of
her heart" Is rather good.

belief that there is a heart that
heaven has made for thee," or they
have faith in the text of some humor.
Gus ballad.
But, as most OF us know, when a fel
low has special talents in the love
making line, and time and inclination
to perfect his talents, he can make any
l pir tDly hA fd he 30 f,,r c1, 1r
heart that Heaven has made fol
thee;" whereas, men who have neither
time nor talent nor inclination in thai
direction must go unloved and unsung

Sometimes the young woman mus
choose between a college professor
and saloon keeper. One can Civ,

In such case. The dictates of he

the prospect of having a hat off and a
