THREE AMENDMENTS.
Voters VIII Be Called Upon 10 Pass
Upon Thnt Many Next Election.

There is possibility that the vot-
ers of Michigan will be called upon
TO pass upon three amendments to the
state constitution at the November
election.
The amendment providing universal
suffrage FOR the women OF Michigan
will be submitted, as will another
amendment authorized by the legis-
lature providing that in the future al
amendments to the constitution to be
submitted at an election be placed
on a single ballot
At the present time each constitu-
tional amendment Is printed on e
separate ballot During tho last ses-
sion there was considerable talk OF
proposing an amendment to the con
stitution limiting the number OF
amendments TO be voted upon at any
election to two. This, however, was
sholved, and Il was decided TO ask
the people to establish a rule that al
amendments be on one ballot sheet
The two propositions are sure &c
so before the people in November.
The beer and wine amendment also
will be voted upon unless the Anti
Saloon league officials can convince
the supreme court that the method OF
submission is irregular
It is believed by political scouts
who have visited the state house re
Gently that the beer and wine amend
ment will be defeated II submitted

you'll pile the Golfers OF the govern
ment full by spending. a draft OF the
new war revenue plan shows.
The treasury department proposal
puts tax-and a heavy one-on ev-
cry luxury from the housemaid TO
gas for the car, and It is destined TO
raise $4,000, 100000. The money, how
ever, II was explained at Washington,
is secondary consideration; the gov
eminent wants the public TO know
and feel that the nation is at war and
that the citizens must bank their
bottom dollars on IL TO win"
Hitherto, the wealthy, as class,
have stood the greatest financial bur.
den OF the war;" one member OF the
house ways and means committee ex-
planned Wednesday In Washington
"But from the passage OF the revenue
bill all will share alike. Everybody's
got to kick in, as It were. This is not
war of classes, 1t is war OF dem
ocracy, and as such must be borne
equally"
For instance, here are some Of the
proposed taxations from which the
eight billions are to be raised:
Twenty-Five to 100 per cent on
household servants.
Double present taxes on liquors
and tobacco.
Quadruple soft drink levies and
make general increases in other ex-
listing rates.
Fifty per cent on retail prices of
jewelry, watches and clocks, except
those sold to army or navy men.
Twenty per cent on automobiles,
bicycles, musical instruments, etc.
Ten cents a gallon on gasoline to
be paid by the wholesaler.
Ten per cent on hotel bills for
rooms over $3.50 a day or American
plan over $500.
Ten per cent on all cafe or restau-
rant bills.
Taxes of unstated amounts on
mems suits selling for more than $50,
womens suits over $40 and coats over
$50; mems hats over "a; shirts over
so; pajamas over So; hosiery over
80 cents; shoes over IS; gloves over
So; underwear over So; all neckwear
and canes; women's dresses over $25;
skirts over SIS; hats over $40; shoes
over Sc; lingerie over So; corsets over
So, and all furs, fans. ETC.; children's
clothing, including suits over SIS;
purses, toilet articles over 81.
Double present motion picture tax,
to be levied directly against the con-
sumner, and impose per cent tax on
motion picture rentals with the pres
ent film tax eliminated.
The new schedule, it is believed
generally, will act as a panacea for
all Americas ills, which lie principal
ly in spending money The tax on
hotels and meals, 1t was declared
would cause a general conservation
of food. The other taxes on luxury
would bring money into the Golfers
of the treasury or would divert II t.
