opinion. 1t is my purpose to discuss
them in the reverse order.
The office extender amendment is
termed by it's advocates a proposal
to make the terms of elective state
and country officials henceforth four
years. Little or nothing is said about
the extender provisions for the bene-
fit of those now in office. In fact,
this feature, by shrewd legislative
machination an design, is kept, off
the face of the ballot entirely, so
the voters may not learn of it until
after the election has transpired.
The join resolution of the legisla-
ture, by which this amendment was
submitted, says:
"The General Assembly shall
have power to so adjust or ex-
tend existing terms of office as
to effect the purpose of the fore
going amendment"
This provision is omitted entirely
from the ballot, which carries mere
ly the provision that elective state
and county officers shall have four
year terms.
Lawyers say that the adoption of
the amendment automatically ex-
tends the terms of all officials eff
fected. If the trainers of the amend
ment were honest and sincere in
their avowed purpose, why did they
not expressly provide that the four
year terms should apply only to
those elected hereafter? The very
least they should have done is to put
the extender feature on the ballot, so
the people might know about it, in
stead of deliberately conspiring to
conceal and smuggle through their
real object and purpose, without dis
covery on the part of the voters.
In 1915 the people of Ohio de-
feated by vote of three to one a
proposal to give term extensions and
thereafter four-year terms to county
officers. That was an open and
above-board proposition. 1t is evi-
dent that by trickery and conceal
ment the General Assembly hopes to
get more favorable vote this time,
but in my opinion there is now all
the more occasion and reason for a
public rebuke.
Upon closer examination there are
other subtler tricks or "sleepers'
within the more apparent decep-
tions. which have not been explain
ed, so far as | am aware.
For illustration, Section 2, Arti-
Gle 10, of the constitution now says,
County officers shall be elected"
for specified terms.
The proposed amendment would
make this Section read:
"All elective county officers
shall be elected s. u i for a per
iod of four years."
The constitution now provides
that county officers shall be elected.
If the amendment is adopted it is up
to the General Assembly to say
which county officers shall be elect
ed and which appointed This, in
effect, is short ballot proposition
ingeniously woven into the amend
ment. The people of Ohio in 1913
defeated by vote of more than two
to one an open and above-board
short ballot proposal for counties
Why should the question now be
submitted by the General Assembly
in the pending yelled, indirect and
unsuspected manner? | believe the
people will resent this sort of tao
tics.

GETS OFF EASY

A news item in the Duluth
Herald the other day was headed
Reckless Driver Gets Stiff SEN
tence." After explaining that
the driver pleaded guilty to reck-
less driving the news item goes
on as follows; The sentence
carries a choice of a $50 fine and
costs or a 40-day term at the
county work farm. A stay was
granted him until Oct. 10 at 10
a. m. Bail was fixed at $50"

MISS NIELSEN GIVES
A SPLENDID CONCERT

The American made no mis-
take last week when it announced
that there was a musical treat in
store for local folks when Miss
A. Marentze Nielsen, soprano,
was to appear Sunday evening,
Oct. 4 at the ID. B. s. hall.
Miss Nielsen just literally filled
the spacious hall with song; she
captured the audience not with
jokes and small tricks but with
her beautiful, rich and clear voice
Her appearance was also modest
and very becoming. Every song
from the opening number,
"Kornmodsglansen" by LANCE
Muller to the last one on the
program, "Violen" by Lumbye
was thoroughly enjoyed and well
received. She was called back
to the stage several times by the
vigorous applause. bowed her ack-
nowledgement and responded to
encores after "Habanera" (from
Carmen) by Bizet and the last
number "Violen.' The third
number. "Majsang" by Lemcke
was one of life and the music is
well fitted to the words. The
Bird With the Broken Wing" by
Florence Golson is a beautiful
number and was we'll rendered;
Come to the Fair" by Martin is
more gay and in DAY is Gone"
BY Margaret Lang. Miss Nielsen
displayed splendid control of her
voice to the finest pianissimo.
The Bubble Song" is a cute lit
tie number, by Shaw describing
life as being full Of bubbles, there
being bubbles of happiness, bub-
bles of sadness, etc. and that
most of our troubles are only bub-
bles. "Habanera' (from Carmen)
was sung in the original language
and the balance of the program
was in the American. Danish and
Swedish languages. Miss Mel
sens singing was interspersed
with selections by the local
orchestra.
After appearing in a few neigh
boring Danish settlements Miss
Nielsen will also sing at Chica-
go and Cleveland and will then
hurry back to New York City
where her time is much taken up
with entertaining before several
dramatic and musical clubs. She
also has a number of scholars
and is herself taking instructions
from Sergi Klibansky. On this
tour she has appeared in sew
eral Eastern, Southern and Gen.
trail states. Askov will welcome
her return here some time in the
future.

no CHANCE FOR SWING
JOHNSON BILL IN CONGRESS

The Swing-Johnson bill, providing
for the construction of the Boulder
canyon dam on the Colorado river has
little chance of being passed at the
coming session of congress, according
to a news item in the New York En-
pineering Record, which reads:
'.No federal funds are likely to be
voted at the coming session Of con-
gress for any project on the Colorado
river, Commerce Secretary Hoover
predicts. The east, at best, he says,
IS not anxious to see money poured
into western ventures. If there is
disagreement in the west, valid ex-
cuse is at once afforded other sec
tions to defer action or vote down the
proposition Secretary Hoover OBJ
viously was referring to the Swing
johnson bill, which provides for the
construction of the Boulder dam and
the All-American canal to supply
Colorado river water to the Imperial
