LAWS OF THE INCAs.
A Code That Mas Remarkable For It's
Beneficent Simplicity.

Beneficeht Simplicity.
Among the most remarkable laws of
the Incas were those concerning taxa
ton. The principal feature of those
laws was that taxes were not paid in
money. but In work and in produce.
whether manufactured or grown. The
Inca emperors thought it unjust to de
mand that taxes should be paid in any
kind of commodity that the people could
not produce by their own personal la
Dor.
The people also paid another sort of
tribute. They made clothes, shoes and
arms for the soldiers and for the pool
who could not work themselves owing
to age or mtirmity. The cloth was
made of wool from the focks Of llamas
that abounded in the mountains. On
the plains of the s~eacoast, where the
climate is warm and they do not dress
in woolens. the people made cotton
cloths, the cotton being supplied from
the crops of the emperor. The shoes
were made in the provinces where
aloes were most abundant, for they
WCAC uiuuc Vi tue icdNco VI Il tIcc
called maguey. Each province furnish
ed its own produce. and no province
had to supply anything that did not be-
long to it.
There was a mapdate that forbade
beggary and restitution: that. of course,
followed upon due provision of their
laws. Every citizen was provided for
theoretically and practically. No man
need be idle; no man need lack land or
seed or implements for cultivation;
therefore no one was permitted to beg.
If any were found doing so it was
clear proof of idleness. for the incapa-
BILE were provided for. and contempt
and punishment were melted out on all
tramps. vagabonds and Idlers.-'The

To Thwart the
Selfish Ends Of
Astute Politi-
clans Vote Yes
On the Sprague
Districting Bill.

u 4
One of the most important pfoposi-
tions to be passed upon by the voters
tnis fall is the sprague districting
bill.
This measure reaches the voters
through a referendum Invoked by pro.
fessional politicians.
The last general assembly passed
the Sprague bill, which fixes along de,
cent lines the congressional districts
IT. Ohio. D.,
When the Democrats were in power
they enacted a district ripper law that
was unfair to the people of Ohio. This
ripper" built up party geographical
lines with the idea Of giving the Dem.
Oeratic party congressman to which it
was not entitled.
1t is easy for legislature to draw
imaginary lines around a bunch of
counties and call 1t q congressional
district. And it is easy for the same
legislature to draw this imaginary
line around lot of counties that will
be sure to elect Democratic legisla-.
ture and call it congressional dis
trict.
That is exactly what the Demo
cratic legislature did--bunched the
counties of Ohio into districts that
guarantee in advance the election Of
Democratic congressman.
The congressional districts in Ohio
were constructed so unfairly that it
was necessary for the last general as
sembly to redistrict the state. Ac-
cordingly the Sprague law was
passed That law establishes the dis
tricts practically as they were before
the cunning politicians saw to it that
the congressional districts should be
constructed on party lines, The
Sprague law districts are not iden-
tical with the old districts because
Ohio now has % districts instead
of 81.
The Sprague act. of course, sadly
cFtppies tire power s5t s'slinheE of
leading Ohio politicians Of practical
turn of mind. They melted the refer.
endum. That is why the bill will be
passed upon by the voters at the Nov.
2 election.
To sustain the law-to knock out
the aspirations of designing politi-
clans every voter should put his *"
in the first space on the special refer
endum ballot.
The referendums will be on sep
arate ballot and the right vote on the
Sprague bill is in the top space. Here
is q sample Of the referendum ballot:

received Q bushels of cornor1 1 bn-

OHIO VISITORS FIND PLENTY OF
LIQUOR TO DRINK IN so-oALLED
"DRY" TENNESSEE.

(By A. v. AbeVnethy, Columbus, ohiO)
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, one of
Ohio's strongest dailies, and absolute
ly independent of either the wet" or
DRY" organizations, in an editorial
published in its issue of Saturday,
October 9, 1915, declares AGAINST
Prohibition.
A Strong EDITORIAL
After quoting the proposed Prohibi-
ton Amendment, the Plain Dealer
says:
Such is the dry amendment to the
constitution Of Ohio upon which the
voters are to pass judgment at the
coming election. The measure is
clear, explicit and concise. There can
be no issue over its Interpretation.
"Ohio voted On practically an iden-
tical amendment one year ago and
defeated it decisively. Cuyahoga
county's majority against it was near
ly $4,000. Hamilton county rejected
it by majority of more than $4,000.
The populous centers generally regis
ter opposition to the dry proposal.
1T may be worth while to turn
again to Section Of the present con-
stitutiOn, which this dry amendment
would repeal and supplant. This Sec
ton was voted into the organic law
Of the state in 1912 and provides the
basis of law upon which the liquor
business in Ohio is now operated"
Quoting the constitution license
proposition the Plain Dealer con
tinues:
THAT amendment merits re-readinG
occasionally. Its adoption three year:
agosabFuptly changed the policy tbs
state had followed for more than sixty
years and substituted license and re
gulation for the former scheme of de-
nying the traffic legal recognition
while continuing to legislate against
the evils resulting from it.
License Workable.
"The ratification of this amendment
of 1912 was the triumph of a compro.
mise proposal. The measure was
fathered in the constitutional conVen,
tion by a dry delegate. AS agreed
upon, it represented less in one direc-
tion than the ultra-drys wanted and
less in, the other direction than the
vets desired. In the campaign it was
supported both by vets and drys.
"The Plain Dealer argued for the
amendment three years ago. The
measure itself has not disappointed
its advocates. 1t has reduced the
number of saloons in the state and
opened the way for more stringent
control of the liquor traffic. 1t is q
measure found thoroughly enforcea
BILE.
"Ohio's larger cities are not ready
for prohibition. And no law can be
enforced in local communities whose
public sentiment is Overwhelmingly
hostile. Every one Of the more popu
lous centers in the state is opposed tc
complete prohibition. There, If no
where else, this dry amendment would
almost certainly become a mockery .
Under local option laws firmly sup
ported by public sentiment it is posi-
BILE for any township, any municipal
ity, any residence district within g
municipality, to keep saloons out. The
system is thoroughly workable. 1t IL
