DISAPPR0vES PROPOSED
AMENDMENT

Legislature saw fit to pass a certain
joint resolution, which should GER
tainly be voted down at the general
election on Nov. Z, 1916. This is a
proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the State of Florida, sec
tion l. article 6. relating to suffrage
and eligibility. 1t makes the fol-
lowing additional qualifications:
He shall have resided and had
his permanent home and place OF
abode in the State of Florida for
lone year. and in the county wherein
he applies to register for six months,
previous thereto.
He must be able to read, write
and interpret any section OF the
Constitution of the State of Florida
at the time he applies to register and
vote.
He must own in his own right
property to the value of not less than
five hundred ($500) dollars, which
fact shall be determined only by the
assessment books of the county at
the time he applies to register and
vote.
1t seems that the Florida Legisla-
ture could have spent it's time and
the taxpayers money to much better
advantage than in passing such un-
heard of proposed amendments to the
State Constitution
The last of the above three para
graphs is highly unjust. There are
many men who have invested more
than $500 in Florida and who live
here, but who have bought their
property on contract, and so have
no deed, and therefore will be barred
out. 1t seems that by reason of the
peculiar system of assessments used
in this State, that to have the requi-
site $500 in the same county in
which the voter resides, that prop
erty would in fact have to be actual
ly worth $4,000. This would bar
out a very large proportion of the
voters of Flrida, and class them with
the insane, idiots and criminals, and
the voters are insane if they vote for
such an idiotic and criminal amend
ment to the State Constitution
Then, often, mar may live in
one county, and have property in an
other. He, also, would be barred
out and disenfranchised.
This proposed amendment is ex-
actly contrary to the trend of max
ing suffrage much more liberal ev-
erywhere else, even extending it to
women, which l believe is just and
proper; if the women want it.
The real purpose of this proposed
amendment is to let a few rich men
run the State even more than at
present, and do the voting as well
CNCi thlh6 CloC. hC
can handle a small fraction Of the
present voters much more easily than
the present number. Thus they can
control elections to suit their own
purposes best. Are not politics in
Florida rotten enough now, without
making them ten times worse? Wit
ness the present governors fight. 1t
is disgrace to the State, and just
such crooked legislation as this pro-
posed amendment made it possible
The Legislature had better pass
fence laws, compulsory spraying
laws, and some useful, necessary
Legislation, for the upbuilding and
progress of the State, instead of
such reactionary propositions as
the above, which will delay the pro-
gress of the State for years, if
adopted.

all? If so, vote for the proposed
