Number Ten (1O) is known

to control the liquor traffic with
the county as the basic unit. :"
Number Eleven (11) is de-
signed to delegate the excise

excise power relates to the
control of the liquor traffic. "

is a practical certainty the won

one of these"
"Since there is no probabilit.
of a constitutional convention,
lively public interest should b
aroused in the amendments to b

PREPARE TO VOTE
INTELLIGENT
Secretary Of State Roach Issues
Warning.

Jefferson City, May 2S. "The
constitutional ballot this year
will have at least a dozen prop
ositions," remarked Secretary
of State Cornelius Roach today,
on which the voter will be called
to exercise his judgment at the
polls. 1t is not too early for the
public to familiarize itself with
the merits Of these propositions.
Since there is no prospect Of
there being a constitutional con-
ventin in Missouri, the people
should interest themselves in
passing Judgment at the ballot
box on the amendments that are
proposed at each successive gen
eral election. "
''The ridiculous practice of
permitting an unpopular measure
to carry to defeat all that are
submitted, good and bad, re-
gardless of merit, should not
prevail. The voter should be
prepared before reaching the
polls to exercise discrimination.
That which is good should be
voted for affirmatively, and a
negative vote should be east
against that which is bad"
''En 1910, the people permitte
the prohibition amendment tC
carry everything down, ten other
propositions being slaughtered
unfortunately. In 1912, The
single tax took eight Other
amendments down to defeat
Such regrettable results are du'
more to lack of attention. VO

early, and not wait till election
day to learn of all the ballo

Number Three (3) is to pro
vide for a State levy of one
mill for the Improvement of the
public roads Good roads can
not be built without funds, and
the only way the State has to
get money for any purpose is to
tax"
Number -Four (4), if adopted
will fix the salary of the mem
bers of the legislature at one
thousand dollars per year. At the
present wage, most members Of
the general assembly take the
office at financial sacrifice,
and many citizens whose worldly
goods are limited are practically
prevented from aspiring to the
office of law-maker."
Number Five (5) is intended
to give st. Louis debt-mak-
ing power for the purpose of
building or acquiring subway.
If the people of st. Louis want
a subway, what sane ojectiOn
can there be to letting them have
it if they want to pay for it
with their own money. The
bigger and better st. Louis be-
comes, the greater and richer is
the State"
Number Six (6) is another
good roads amendment. This
one is to grant the people of a
special or general road district
the power to make a levy for
I road purposes if the voters of
the district so decide by major
ity vote. Why not let people
who 50 wish build good roads
for themselves?"
Number Seven ~ is for the
purpose of providing by law fol

tance at public expense to tn
