AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
GDeI.and News)

fDeLand NeWsl
On the bottom of the official ballot
next Tuesday the voter will see a
brief synopsis Of proposed amend
ment to the constitution of the state,
giving the legislature the right to
bond the state "for not exceeding 5
per cent at any one time" for the
purpose of building hard roads. There
viii be two lines, the first for the
amendment, and the second against
the amendment.
The News is opposed to the amend
ment.
Because we believe the right to
bend for any purpose should be left
In the hands Of the people and not
he placed in the hands of 100 mem
bers Of the legislature We would not
give any board the right to mortgage
our own property, nor would we grant
this right to mortgage all the prop
|erty of the state. If the people want
To mortgage the state, they should
have all authority as to the amount
and the exact purposes for which the
funds are to be spent.
Because our own county has already
bonded for a million and quarter
with which to build roads, and we can
see no reason why we should place a
second mortgage for the purpose of
building roads in other counties which
have refused to mortgage their own
property for this purpose.
Because we believe more roads can
be built within ten to twenty years by
the present tax Of 2 mills. auto IL
Icenses and state convicts than can be
built by issuing twenty or more mill
ion dollars of bonds and allowing any
state board to blow it in within a
lc6uple of years.
Because no fund has been provided
for the care of the roads after they
IEave been built. and we know by ac-
ItaaI experience that road maintain
Iance is an expensive proposition.
Because no limit has been placed
by the state on the load which may be
lcarried over state or county roads,
land we do not believe in building
Iroads for the use of destructive
freight trucks
Because no effort is made to keep
T tie roads. for the use of the sane,
reasonable driver. and a system of
roads seem to invite speed demons
land death, accident and mayhem.
We will do all we can to- build
roads, but we will vote against any
proposition to create a political
financial road orgy in the state with
IN the next two years.
This tells how we intend to vote;
now you, Mr.. Reader and Mrs. Read
er, vote as you see fit. We can stand
| the result as well as you can.

the outside world was told, through

AMERICA OUTSIDE
Toronto Mail and Empirel

Toronto Mail and Empirel
The debate on the League of Ma
tons, lasting more than a year,
ought to make the American people
the best educated in the world with
respect to the provisions of a docu-
ment which is of an Importance to
them only second to the declaration
of independence. The other members
of the league ratified the treaty with
hut little debate In no other country
was the league a political issue. One
would think that by this time every
citizen of the United States would
have read at least the salient arti-
eles of the covenant. and that those
who publicly discussed the matter
would have studied the completed
document so that they could recite#
most Of it by heart. But the fact is
that public attention has been riveted
chiefly upon Article X. Even Sena-
tor Harding seems to have been in ig-
norance of Article Xxx Perhaps he
thinks that so long as forced inter-
probation of Article X will serve his
purpose and brighten off American
voters by the belief that their sons
will be Communicated, at the bid of
the league council, to go to war every
time there is trouble in Europe, there
is no reason to go further in the de-.
bate on the league But Article Xxx
is important. 1t reads as follows:
1.-THE members of the league severally
agree that this covenant is accepted
as abrogating all obligations or un-
derstandings inter Sc, which are in
consistent with the terms thereof,
and solemnly undertake that they will
rot hereafter enter into any arrange
ments inconsistent with the terms
thereof"
Senator Harding may not know
exactly where he stands as regards
the league. If he does, perhaps only
half a dozen others share his conf
dence. His public utkerances have
been conflicting. At one time he says
he wishes to turn his back on the
league; again he says that from the
time he becomes president he will de-
vote all his efforts toward getting the
great and small nations of the world
into some sort of association that
viii take the place of the league. But
Article Xxx seems to show clearly
enough that the nations now members
Of the league have already pledged
themselves not to join with each
other or with any other nations in an
agreement not compatible with the
provisions of their own constitution
They viii have either to stand by the
league that is in existence or treat
their obligations as a scrap of paper.

The comment on the arrangement
of the election ticket in the state
press is rather amusing and shows
that most newspaper men have not
studied the law The impression
seems to prevail that the names must
run alphabetically. Remembering
that we had once or twice voted when
the democratic electors were at the
head of the ticket. we asked the
county Judge to show US the law. and
when he did we could find nothing in
it referring to alphabetical order. The
trouble is that people have the gem
eral election law mixed up with the
primary law, which requires alpha
betical arrangement. The general
election law leaves it to the county
commissioners of each county to ar
range their tickets as they see fit. and
there will probably be a dozen differ
ent arrangements of tickets in the
different counties.

While the ratification meeting last
night was not so largely attended as
we could have wished, there were
several hundred people present,
among whom many were from the
country. Quite a considerable pro-
portion were ladies. Congressman
Clark, the orator of the evening. was
introduced by Editor Harris of the
Banner, and was received with APP
plause. Mr.. Clark made one of his
characteristic speeches, full of inter
est and hitting straight from the
shoulder. Speaking of the league of
nations, he said the one great objec-
ton the republicans had to it was
that it was born in the brain of Wood
row Wilson, and its ratification un-
der democratic administration
would keep the democratic party in
power for many years. Other lead
ing issues of the campaign were ex-
planned by Mr.. Clark and his hearers
went home better informed from his
speech than they had been during all
the campaign. After his talk was over,
many of those present came forward
