PROPOSED AMENDMENTS {
 AND WHAT THEY MEAN

The following list comprises nearly ! all the proposed amendments to the state constitution and the initiated laws which will be submitted to the electors at the election November 2. Those not mentioned herein are of small importance. 1 An act to amend subdivision 5, of l section 1, of Article W, of the con stitution of the state of Ariona, and to provide for the submission of such proposed amendment to the people of the state of Arizona. Initiative and referendum measures to become laws when approved by a majority of the total vote cast at election"
 If you favor the above law, vote YES; if opposed, vote NO.
 100-Yes.
 101--No.
 This amendment to the constitution, if adopted, will require that initiated measures shall receive majority of the votes cast at the election at which they are submitted, just as candi- date must receive a majority. It is intended to prevent the passage of initiated laws without the assent of the electors, as is too often the case, as the law stands at present. Many electors fail to vote on the submitted laws and every opportunity is afford ed for designing politicians to place special legislation on the statute books without the real assent of she people. The amendment is good one and should be supported.
 Approving and proposing to the people of the state of Arizona an amendment of section 2, Article 9, of the constitution of the state of Ari- zona. Exemption from Taxation"

 This amendment provides for the redistricting of the counties into leg fslative districts in proportion to po- pulation.
