WHY TRADE "FREEZES UP"

An idea conveyed in a recent ad-
vertisement of the Chicago American

remembered by business men, is ex-
pressed as follows:

Under such conditions, business en-

This leaves no doubt of the Joke in
the amendment.
Governor Hardee spoke very en-
phatically at Tampa on the needs
and justice of reappordonnent a few
days ago The Governor undoubted-
ly believes that the provisions of the
amendment will give the relief
sought. But if he will figure out the
provisions Of the clause relating to
apportionment of members of the
house he will see that here is the
joker.
II the Governor wants reapportion
ment he can give it to the state with
out the ratification of the proposed
amendment. True, the amendment
has a clause commanding the COVER
nor to call special session of the
Legislature for the purpose of reap
portioning representation each ten
years if the legislature shall fail to
do so. But the Governor can call a
special session now for that purpose.
The fatal mistake of ratifying the
present amendment would be that the
state would be tied up for the next
ten year period under the same rep
resentation, relatively, as exists to-
day.
