and can not be segregated now, the lesser of the
two evils should be chosen and the amendment
voted for.
No. !, does away with the present system OF
preferential voting Had it been put square be-
fore the voter take effect at the next election,
it would have carried easily. Most people be-
eve if it carries it is submitted 1t Will pave the
way for election contests in the courts viii yoA-
against its adoption though something OF that kiHd
should be put through in Denver
No is the single tax For reasons set Iorth
elsewhere | opposed to the adoption OF this
proposition at the present time.
No. provides for giving the city the right to
refuse to levy the full measure OF taxes ii it is
deemed advisable to do There is question
but the tax payer will always get whatever is
ing to him in this line, therefore am in favor OF
this proposition it may offer relief at a time
when it is needed.
No relates civil service. The Trades As
semblv opposes the measure. Personally / am op-
posed to civil service except for fremen and police
men and the hospitals. / think it is deluson and
a and have always noticed that the working
man gets the hook in its operations. SO far as >
personally concerned ! am going to vote for
its repeal and every else can do as they please
No. provides for repeating the charter relating
to the public utilities commission. Ii is claimed
that the water company is behind it and it would
kill off prospects sor building water plant of our
own. As that don't believe there are any i'm
mediate prospects. The present commission has
been big expense and done practically nothing
much so lar. Sine people in the water fight
against the proposition and so is the Trades As
semby. no great harm can come from voting TO
kill the amendment.
No s provides for repeating the Moifat tunnel
commission and should go through with a whoop.
No Q provides for the two platoon system for
fremen. ! have repeatedly stated why | am Tor
tins proposition II is the most deserving on the

likewise.
There i've bond issues to be submitted to
the people on which only taxpayers can vote
he first one provides for bonds TO the extent
OF $4,000 to building addition to our hospital
in effect. We know it is badly needed | am for it
The second one provides Tor ST 10000 in bonds
to build a new CITY market. This is something
badly needed and will be selfsus.ainine and self
paying. 1t is a very worthy project and a GOOD,
city market helps reduce the high cost OF living n
will be glad to vote for this issue and urge ever{
tax payer to do likewise
The third is for issuing $4,000 in bonds 10
erect home Tor the detention and reformation OF
females. or fallen women. No person with hui

employment to craftsmen OF various kinds 11,c
