LEAVE TT TO THE VOTER


Anyone can understand the five laws to
be voted on at the electioi
1. Shall we limit the number of terms
man may serve?
g. Shall we further limit the farmers
butchering?
g. Shall we prepare for new game and
fish law?
4. Shall we finance the Highway Depart
ment by direct road tax?
5. Shall we create motor Vehicle De-
partment?"
Everyone who is interested will vote for or
against these five measures. Those who are not
interested will not vote. This is exactly it
should be in democratic countrf where the
people are more and more coming in to their
right to exercise a choice in the matter Of mea-
sures and men.
In the course Of time lawyers will learn to
draft these initiative and referendum measures
in language that the people understand at

Maricopa county is about to reap the reward
of long years Of patient waiting. Nothing can
stop it now: the mines are going to be develop
