NO- 3 ], CEDARVILLE, OHIO, f R I D AY, MAR6H 18, 1912. PRICE, * 1,00 A YEAR I . H MEANS SINGLE TAX. Tiie following article taken from the Reeord-Republiean, Washing­ ton 0, H., jusfc about sums up tb« Initiative and Referendum as itwill affect the farmers and particularly th* land owners. The. titn» is at hand as towhether tlie rural popii* lace is ready to have the labor unions, Socialists, crank# audfana- tics, vote the taxes on land, or any other issue that they see fit. "S ow many farmers really up ay, stand what is meant by the In na­ tive and Referendum about which Weare hsariug so muCh these days, and which some of the big and little politicians aro hustling up to in- dorse just because fchdy think it will give them an office or a'nomination? The writer can see why the I. ’&R. might be favored, by a Socialist in, a city who would -live -to have, his 'dutches on this state and nation so that he could vote anything'upon the farmer or other individual in whom he was directly interested that he might choose, but for the life of hs we can’ t see how a farmer can see .anything-in the I. & R. for himself or his interests. . . . Five or six years ago, according to the census as shown by tbe elec, tion retunS%i$2 per cent, of the total vote in Ohio fame .from the country districts, that is outside the cities; now condition# are yust reversed, as about.right,-then the writer will ac- the . recent government ° -census shows,,and tffere are 62 per cent, oi the qualified voters of tbe state re­ siding in the cities and only 48 per ' cenf in the country. ’ ’ Xovr,. Mr. Farmer, with these facts staring yon ih the face, whai v williiappsnwben.ail initiative,' ref­ erendum or recall pe,.ffion is put in circulation.requiring the signatures of opty five to twelve pet cent, o| , the total •Vote of the -state, direct couhty or murticipahty iU’crder to ■ bring«bQU^ a Vote to make a new law, repeal, an old one or to recall Everybody knows that it I b next to an officer ,lf the people ratify, the impossible to organise the farmers convention is now tryipg to make for us? The answer to tills question is easy. The Socialists and similar organizations, political fanatics, extremists and cranks of the five largest cities of Ohio will have at their mercy the farmers and all others who have not become daffy on the question of turning aver to th* voters o f the Btate themselves the power to make the laws, pass upon their constitutionality, pass upon judicial decisions, etc., and the sooner the farmer sees this point the bettor it will bo for him, It goes without saying that the* city crowd will yote Upon the farmer Just the things that will make conditions a snap for the city folks to the detri­ ment of the farmer. Why, Mr. Farmer, do you suppose for ope minute that the city voters as a rule Would not take advantage of an opportunity to pass a Jaw or repeal one that would make i f bet­ ter fpr them even tho it did work./ a hardship upon you? And do you not suppose that one.of the first things-that the city socialists would do would be to vote single tax on the farmer, which means that the taxes toxuu tbe affairs of govern­ ment must’ all come off the land, while other things-go-free? Why, that is just what Chairman''Bigelow of the Constitutional Convention is said to be in fayor of—single tax. Bo you want it? Well, the writer thinks not. ; It the farmer really wants to get '‘ soaked” good and hard just'give the I. &R, a 20-year trial and if the city fellows do not attend to the job county in the state- This, as cap clearly he seen by everybody but a socialist, Is the only fair «»;» (o frame the constitution that-is to. be voted upon by the people, so long as it is si tiled that the I. & It. propo­ sition is to he embodied in that doc­ ument. Ohio Farmers are already com­ plaining of higher taxes under the new laud appraisement, but if they have single tax voted upon them and Ahalf dozen other things that they don’ twant and shouldn’ t have, they Will look back to tile present and wish they might return to tho; good old days. when their taxes: were low, . The grand old fathersof our conn try who framed dur national con­ stitution studied the matter, of i pure democracy, that iB to let the people themselves bo the legislature, the courts, pfca,', but they said, itwas not safe and poor policy,.so they gave us a republican form .of gov eminent in which the people choose men to represent them in the va­ rious departments -of government; -to make thelh- laws, pasB upon the constitUtiohaUty of laws and to en­ force laws. Ip- their wisdom they gave us a government that has made of this-Nation the admiration of the ciyilized world and the ihosfc powerful ana wealthy nation on the globe. Yet we find a lot of mob today w.iie are ^anxious to throw representative government, that has done so much for us, into the trash pile.. For Li< [License. *■,' . 1 , P U B L I C S A L E His Guilt,i constitution ;.'ai that the Columbus knowledge he lanot a good,prophet. Bigelow andsome- of the socialists In the Constitutional Convention at Columbus, don’ t seem to desire the convention to require the signature of very many voters to bring about a vote to initiate a law, to repeal a law or to recall an, officer who has been elected to office. They would like to have It that way, .but they seem willing to"increase it from 6 to* 12 per cent, which, is just one third- whafeit should be if the interests of the farmers are to be sate guarded.

Wisterman’s Pharmacy into ah'effective organization* They are scattered anti many of them ,do not like to vote on questions they do not understand for fear o f making a mistake. On the other hand the The city population is not scattered as the country population, is; -and consequently the matter Of rapid, there and powerfal organization to ,vpte for or against any law or can­ didate that might be beneficial or injurious to the city people, as the case might be, will be comparative­ ly an easy one. I t can be done In a few "hours or. days, while in tile country it would take week# or months to get the farmers to under­ stand what was going on and to take interest enough to come to the polls and vote for a proposition. .'The result of all this worn! be that the farmer wouid be at the mercy of the people of the cities at every’stage of the game. Why, the socialists are claiming that it Bhouid nob be.specified as to where tbe sig­ natures to petitions for Initiative, etc., should come from so long as they are secured in the state; so tbdfcjf Hamilton county can furnish the necessary 6per cent, of the pe­ titioners that would fill the require­ ments.
