Good Roads Amendment Car
ries by Big Vote.
FARM TEHANTRY IN DOUBT
Figures From AZ Counties Give
Tax Measure % Lead
Hard Surface Roads Won in 4S
COunties-Lost in IS.

Kansas voters adopted the hard sur
face road amendment, but defeated
the proposed constitutional change to
classify property for taxation. The
farm tenantry proposal is in doubt,
1t is today leading by % votes in a
total of AZ counties.
Adoption of the road amendment
by more than 100000 seems probable
on the face of returns from 81 of the
los counties. The tax provision, how
is 31,054 votes behind in As counties.
The lead of 1920 for the good roads
amendment includes estimates of ma
jorities of $4,000 for the amendment
in Wyandotte county and 10000 in
Shawnee county.
OF the 61 counties which have re-
ported figures on the good roads
amendment, the measure received a
majority OF the votes cast on the pro-
position in 43 counties and lost in Is.
The tenantry proposition carried in %
counties and lost in "a. There is yet
serious doubt regarding final adoption
of this proposal. The tax amendment
seems Overwhelmingly beaten. 1t lost
in 3S counties and carried in ten coun-
ties.
