Amending Constitution. - =.
The object Of the next amendment
is to shorten the time necessary to
change the constitution. -: '...s
At the present time any amendment
to the constitution must be passed by
the two regular sessions Of the legis-
'ature and then be submitted 70 the
people two more years later, which
means that four. years is the shortest
possible time in which any change
could be made,
AS proposed by this amendment; 1t
would only have to be passed by one
session Of the legislature and then be
voted on by the people.
1t does not seem that any comment
should be required to show the mod
sary and that the present method is
cumbersome and antiquated.

safeguards, as any amendment will
be published for three months: prior
to the next, general election and then
be submitted to the people for their
approval.

The present salary mikes it al

as a: member Of the assembly or
senate.
/ The present rate Of compensation
was set sixty-six years ago when Wis
consin was admitted as a state into
the union, and while this may have
been a fair compensation at that time,
any thinking person knows that it is
q shame to ask any man to spend six
to seven months away from his home
and support himself and family on
this allowance. In fact 1t cannot be
done. and anyone who goes to the
legislature has to sacrafice his time
Eand spend his own money. - -

corporations hire the best talent they

WISCONSIN POLITICS
VOTE YE ON ALL PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO STATE CONSTITUTION

The following constitutional amend
ments have been passed by two ses-
sions of the legislature and are SUBJ
mitted to the voters for their ap-
prevail:
Do not fail to vote yes on all ques-
tons.
These amendments are all in the
interest Of progress and have been
needs.
AS a result Of the growth of large
cities and the different geographical
districts of villages comes the need Of
home rule.
By the domineering and obstruct-
ing influences of private interests and
the betrayal of their public trust by
elected politicians comes the need Of
the initiative and referdum and the
recall.
BY the excessive rates for 1nsur-
ance charged by private insurance
corporations, the mismanagement,
failure and the continual raising of
rates by insurance organizations,
comes the need of state Insurance.
BY the increased business Of the
legislative sessions and the increased
cost of living comes the necessity for
an increase in the compensation to
the members of the legislature.
These amendments are the legisla-
tive verdict, after ten years of study
ments to the constitution are abso-
lutely necessary.
To defeat them is to lose the fruit
Of ten years work by the best minds
Of all parties in the senate and as
sembly.
Initiative and Referendum,
The first amencment to be voted
| on provides for the initiative and
referendum.
The purpose Of the two amend
ments is to bring about more democ.
racy by placing directly in the hands
| OF the people the right to- propose
! laws to enact or to reject at the polls
any act Of the legislature, and by
giving the people the right of sub
| hitting amendments to the constitu.
! ton.
! This is, the means of placing the
| government in the hands of the whole
people where it rightfully belongs
and taking it away from the horde
| of scheming politicians.
! The Recall.
The aim Of the recall amendment
is to give the voters the right to re.
move from office any of. their elected
public officials, except the judges.
| While there has been a great dea]
OF objection to the recall Of public
officials, it does not seem to be yer,
sound argument to say that the peo
I pie who elect a man to office SHOULD
not have the right to recall him II

il. Engdahl, editor Of the Amer
lean Socialist. speaking of the general
situation as his reports indicated,
predicted the election of members to
the next congress and number of
members to state legislatures. :.
THE reports We have received up
to date" Engdahl said, indicate the
party vote will show an increase next
month Of from 25e,000 to 10000.
This means that If the Socialists
are able to keep up the enthusiasm
and work during the remaining weeks
Of the campaign, they may total L.
100000 votes next month, compared
to the ss1.406 ballots cast for the
national socialist ticket in, 1912 l..
There is big possibility that the
vote for all parties will be extremely
light this fall owing to the lack Of in
terest shown in the campaign thus far.

trays that trust should be recalled.
While this amendment is a. step in
the right direction, It is not complete,
and the voters" should not be content
until ha<judges are included.
Home Rule for Cities.
Home rule for cities is a particular
ly important amendment. This amend
ment will give to the cities and vii
lagos of the state the power to amend
and draft their own charters without
the Intervention of q state legislature
composed of unconcerned legislators.
It will give to each city the power to
govern itself without asking permis-
sion of representatives from rural and
distant communities. J..
State Insurance.
The amendments providing for
state insurance are of vital import
ance.
The question of insurance is one of
the most important, problems of So
ciety. Insurance of some nature, is
in most cases all that is left, when the
breadwinner of family passes away,
to keep the dependents from actual
want.

the rates could be greatly reduced
and as insurance is a mathematical
problem, there is, absolutely no risk

Land for Public Use.
The next amendment provides to,
the taking of lands by municipalitie.
/ for public use. g.;

power in securing land for publ,

On the ether hand there is every rea,- son Thy the voters should go to the polls next Tuesday and express their minds on the important questions Of the day. There is a great privilege and duty involved therein which no voter can afford to slight. It is service which every siector should render to himself, his netghbor, town, state and nation. It is a time when every pub- lic-spirfted citizen, and every voter should be included in that list, should do his part fin giving expression to the demands in behalf of government
 Towns, the state and the country have undergone experiences which call either for g. vote of endorsement or disapproval. Tine people have been trodHction of dangerous principles in the conduct of the national govern unent- It rests with them to apply the remedy. There is no relief to be gain ed by remaining at home election day and continuing to find fault with gov- ernment affairs, nation or statewise. The thing to do is to use the right of suffrage. Go to the polls and made 1t evident that it is & government of the people. by the people and for the peo- pia
 Disinterestedness has no place on election day and it Is folly to sup- pose that such duty can be left to the others. It is the big vote which expresses the feeling of the people and thsre can be no question that a big vot will mean the success of the re- publican ticket.
