The two proposed constitution.

they will be) means but on e
thing, more tax, more money. The
advocates of these amendments
tell us wonderful stories about
nine members of commission
being appointed by theGovernor,
who are to serve without Day and
so on. This is argument only.
The proposition only provides for
the Legislature to do go and so.
1t means more offices, more pay,
more tax.
The second amendment pro.
vides that 10 per cent. of the
money collected TO pay teachers
may be used for other purposes.
What other purposes? Can teach
ers' salaries be cut that much?
No. What then? More tax, of
course, which means more graft.
The Times opposes every form of
increased advalorem tax for any
purpose whatsoever until 1t is
demonstrated that what tax we
are paying is put to better ad.

state their attitude on this ques.

will support measure for the
payment of adjusted compensa-
ton.
This organization individually
and as body pledge themselves
not to support any candidate for

lie Office who do NOT favor the
passing of the aforesaid measure.
This question will certainly fig.
ure in the coming election, taking
into consideration the number of
soldiers there are, and the lntlu.
ence it will bear upon their fam
lies and friends. 1t is question
worthy of consideration aud one
on which the candidates (espec.
tally the candidates for Represen.

their attitude. We are anxious
to know, Mr.. candidate, how YOU
stand. Are you for the passage
of this bill, or opposed to Its

Gasoline and Oil Upward

The wholesale price of gasoline
and coal oil advanced two cents
per gallon Wednesday. This, of
course, will be passed to the con-

The railroad strike is ia lked, and
it looks like trucks will have to
transport the freight. This calls
for gasoline and oil. This is prob
ably why the immediate advance.
Yet crude oil has advanced some
too.
