A Danger to Missouri.

the Missouri constitution is 10 |
limit the initiative and refren.
dunn power that the people of
Missouri now have.
A majority of the people prob
ably think that the proposed
amendment is simply to prevent
any future attempt to adopt the
single tax in Missouri.
That is a mistake.
If that were the purpose of the
amendment it would say just
that. LA
The amendment provides
three other things that the
special interests want. They
are the milk in the cocoanut.
/. 1t provides that initiative
and referendum cannot be used
more than once in five years
(Which means six years, because
elections are biennial here) on
any one subject. The people
might defeat a bad legislative
bill by referendum vote and the
next legislature or the next one
could pass it and the people could
not vote on it again for six years.
Or the County Unit Bill might
be approved by the people next
November--and a wet" legisla-
ture repeal it and the people
have no voice.
Woman suffrage is up by
initiative petitions. If defeated
it cannot be submitted again by
initiative petitions until 1920
provided Amendment No. l car
ries.
2. This proposed amendment
does prevent single tax-but 1t
also provides that never (by reg
ular constitutional amendment
or otherwise) shall any change
in the taxing system of Missouri
be made by the people of Mis-
souri,.
Wisconsin very rapidly i'm
poses a property tax on the peo-
pie of Wisconsin, but gets its rev
enues chiefly from special tax
on special interests. II this
amendment is adopted it is ex-
tremely doubtful that the people
of Missouri could ever relieve
themselves of the general prop
erty tax.
8. This amendment No. !
makes it necessary to prove to
the county court that every name
on an initiative or referendum
petition is legal. That practically
kills the initiative and referen-
dunn. The proceeding now is
that if names are called in ques-
ton their validity must be shown.
That is fair. But to put it in the
power of any court house ring
to make every farmer every
townsman who signs petition
prove his signature-that kills
the peoples direct power of leg
islation.
No sensible person could OBJ
ject to a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the single tax
If for no other reason than thai
there is not one chance in ter
million that single tax can b.
adopted here. In 1912 the peO
pie cast 508,137 votes against j
and only S6,647 votes for it.
But under the sham of "prO
tecting the people from the single
tax" the brewers, the railroads
the machine politicians and som'
muddle-headed other politician
are trying to get the people o
Missouri to surrender their hard
won control of their own affairs
They don't want Missouri meI
and women to have direct pOwe
over liquor, over taxes, over tn,
great questions of social justice

DIR. CEISEL AND THE GIRLS

In her talk before the conference
.f5r race betterment in Battle Greek
last week DR.. Carolyn Geisel made
some remarks that are extremely in
toresting whether you happen to en-
dorse her conclusions or not. They
are the more interesting to Columbus
people because the lady is we'll known
IN this city which she has visited and
delivered lectures in which she told
the people many very plain and whole
some truths. She is now connected
with the Shorter College at Rome. We
have previously referred to her as
sertion that reason why bachelors
do not marry is because girls are
spendthrifts. Leading up to this par;
0, her talk DR.. Geisel said:
Girls are turned cut from girls
colleges unfit for achieving livelihood
or motherhood They are nervous
wrecks, with their poor heads cram
med full OF lot of fancy information
that sounds very well at a clubmeet-
ing but doesn't get very far when /,
comes to ordering round steak.
Graduates come out of these
schools with a penchant for fashions
that leave them as nearly nude as the
law will allow. The average bill OF
fare alone at girls schools is enough
to drive the girls to bonbons and rare
bits.
Bachelors often remain bachelors
because women are spendthrifts, and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-01-17

many women are spendthrifts be-
cause women's colleges fail almost
completely in training their students
for the problems of life"
This is the view of a very sensible,
observant woman, and it is therefore,
worthy of consideration, The reader
may not coincide in the view but
broad-minded ones will not dismiss
the matter as not being worth consid-
ering but will think it over. When
parents send their daughters to college
they place them in an institution the
influence of which will have a great
bearing upon their after lives. Habits
formed there will be the habits of a
lifetime, most likely; the training re
ceived in these institutions is intende /
to shape their course when they grow
to womanhood, therefore parents can
not be too careful in the selection Of
the institutions in which they place
their daughters. Only those Offering
the best advantages in every respect
should receive patronage. The college
which fails to prepare the girl for the
duties Of womanhood has fallen far
short Of the attainment of that which
should be the object of every one OF
them
Dr. Geisel's talk is very timely, and
it is to be hoped that it will put par
ents to thinking. If it will do that +
will have gone a long way toward ac.
comprising that for which she is

DON'T BE A "GOOP"

Mr., Gellett Burgess-w.th the
charm of his good and sweet humor-
is teaching the youngsters not to be
'goops. A COOP seems to be the sort
of person who goes in for bitter ex-
perience and learns-if he learns at
all-not to do and-takes the consa-
quences; often he does not take them
alone.
Mr.. Burgess is doing a great thing
for the young ones in showing them
how foolish COOP looks. We rather
wish this system had been started
about generation ago, then some Of
the grown-up "goops' might have re-
strained themselves in time. The
trouble about the grown-up goops
seems to be that their goopiness eff
fects other people rather seriously.
When a man discovers that he is up
against it, good and strong, he might
DO we'll to look back upon his past az
tions and find out why he is a COOP
Generally. it is because he followed
some course which was quite contrary
J to the rules of good conduc!. or com
mon sense. If we fly in the face of o.
yicus penalties we are "goops" whe !
these penalties catch up with us.
When we float good advice, or estab-
l5sh principles and Fate comes down
upon us with whack, then we are
goops, and we have no right to grievc
over our predicament. The best VIC
can do is to begin again and take the
straight street which leads away
from Goopville. Here are some illus
trations from Mr.. Burgess
Have you heard how Andrew Crossett
Meddled with the water faucet
Letting water flood the sink?
Andrew was Coop, think;
Otherwise he would have known
He should let such things alone.
Adolphus Elfnstone, of Nachez,
Thought it was fun to play viii
matches,
Until the little Coop had learned
1t hurt a lot when he got burned.
A little fire is queer and curious,
But soon it grows quite big and fur

PEOPLE HAVE FAITH IN
ADVERTISED GOODS

Advertised goods of standard make
are the most saleable goods.
The public looks on them as some
thing with fixed and tangible value.
People reason that if a manufacturer
is willing to spend money in advertis-
ing he has by that token faith in him
self.
They know that all the advertising
in the world will not make them keep
on buying an article unless it has mer-
it-and they know that the manufac
turer is figuring on the Repeat Sales
for his profits
A local dealer who pushes the goods
a manufacturer is making known
through the columns of the Times-Re-
corder is moving with the tide of de-
mand
He is swimming down stream and
the going gets easier as he moves
along.
The public follows the man who
gives it what it wants when it wants
it!
