Voters of the State to Have
Chance to Vote on Amend
ments at the Fall Election.
GUARDS FOR APPROPRIATIONS

Voters in the state will have to pay
particular attention to the amendments
| to the constitution which are to be
voted on at the November election.
Unless they do they are liable to find
that all their work looking to radical
reduction in state expenses has been
done for nothing.
Cleverly tucked away in an amend
ment proposed to section l of article
". of the state constitution is joker
which might undo all the work of irate
taxpayers. This amendment is that
dealing with the initiative and refer
endum, that is intended to make the
people as a whole the lawmaking body
of the state, the legislature merely be-
ing body to whip proposed laws into
shape for the decision of the people.
This is one of the measures which the
| progressives, who are responsible for
the big increase in taxes, are pleading
must not be dropped, something on
which there must be no backsliding.
II is provided that no law shall go into
effect for ninety days after the close of
the session of the legislature in order
to enable the people to say whether or
not it shall stand. If within the ninety
days a petition is filed to submit any
law to vote of the people such law
shall not take effect until thirty days
after its approval by a majority vote
OF the voters Of the state. If they
reject it the law is. done for.
Appropriations are Guarded.
Then enters the clever little joker,
meant to prevent any reduction in
appropriations.
This part reads: emo law making
any appropriation for maintaining the
state government or maintaining or
aiding any public institution, not ex-
| ceeding the next previous appropria-
ton for the same purpose, shall be sub
ject to rejection or repeal under this
section. The increase in any such APP
preparation shall only take effect as in
case of other laws and such increase,
or any part thereof, specified in the
| petition, may be referred to vote
of the people upon petition.

PLAYS DOPE FIEND AT ODEON
IN GIRLS FROM JOYLAND"

Sixteen years of vaudeville, musical
comedy and burlesque have moulded
Frank L. Wakefield into one of the
most humorous and well-fnished
non-singing characters now appear
ing in light comedy on the American
stage. He is the headliner at the
Odeon Theatre this week with THE
Joyland Girls"
Wakefield is the originator CT what
Is known as the censored dope act"
Tho first act of this kind in which the
real pill was cooked" was presented
by Wakefield on the stage of the old
Waldmann's Theatre, in this city.
The police of Newark at that time
censored all burlesque exhibitions.
Wakefield put ON his dope act'' for
the first time before Detective Thomas
King, of the First precinct. with sew
eral other police officers. who acted
ms a board of censorship. The act
was approved after a few minor
changes and went out as the first
censored act of its kind.
This was in 1910, while Wakefield
was playing with the Runaway
Girls" His sketch was called
chinatown After Dark"
For three months during the sum-
mer in Philadelphia. Wakefield per-
formed with a character known as
Frisco jim well-known figure in
the dope dens of the Quaker City. He
was admitted to the inner circle" by
his pal and by close Observance
and study gained a thorough knowl
edge of the habits and actions of the
dope fiend He exhibits this close ac-
quaintance in his role as a dope fiend
at the Odeon this week.
Wakefield is somewhat of n play
wright also. He wrote "Me. Him and
t. a musical comedy, for Hurtig &
Seamon; 1.-THE Ginger Girl" for Ed
ward Lee Roth; Higgins in Alaska"
and Higgins at the Races" also for
Hurtig g. Seamon, and THE Joyland
Girls" for the Sim Williams Theatri-
cal Enterprise, Inc.
Wakefield has appeared in this city
several times in vaudeville. He says
he played at Proctor's Theatre here
when Brunette managed that play
house. He also appeared in several
musical comedies and with the Cold
en- Crook" and 1.-THE Lid Lifters."
He is unique in that he does not try
TO sing. He realizes that his talent
do not run to warbling and does not
force his vocal attempts upon the
unsuspecting public. Instead he re-
cites in a mastery style several
original and copyrighted poems His
