A REVOLUTIONARY DOCUMENT Ohl* Is Becoming Too Socialistic and Antagonistic to Ail Employers of Labor—Bigelow Has Planned a Scheme to Deceive. S MMH b — w i Marysville, 0.. Any. 13,—(Special.) "-Even the. prospect that a majority of the proposed Socialistic and ultra- radical amvUdmeats to the Constitu- tution may be approved a t the special •lection op Sept 3, Is not only keep- ins new Industries out of Ohio' bUtit- is tbrsatenlug to drive many existing '■industries out o f the state. An Illustration of this Is given in a statement made here today by Walter S. Feel, head of the independent man. ufacturing firm of W. S. Feel &Bro., of this town. ‘“We are about ready to -quit and get out of 'the statu/’ said Mr. Peel. ../‘Political conditions In Ohio are he* coming so Intolerable -t h a t , it will ' soon he impossible for any industry to survive, In the last few 1 years the political agitators and Socialist, ic element have been growing In power'and heaping new burdens on the shoulders of every- property owner and employer.

But what [chance have we to induce any new '• outside Industries to locate In Ohio, when the outside investor or manufac* turer says: ‘Ohio is becoming too , Socialistic and too antagonistic to ev­ ery employer o f labor, and in fact to evdfy property owner, whether he em­ ploys labor o r not/ What is the-re­ sult? New Capital and new industries •are locating in other states, and many Ohio "industries are now seeking op- ' portunities . for moving put o f ' the •tate., , *v *'» - - . * ■ Many, Many Tricks. i- “The proposed new Constitutional amendments ar^j not understood by onp per cent, o f the voters, and with few exceptions they will not be Un­ derstood when i t comes- time to vote on them. If they were understood The people of-Ohio would get out to The polls and defeat them overwhelm* „ tngly. It IS apparent, however, that Mr. Bigelow, Socialist and Single- taker, who was chiefly instrumental in drafting the proposed amendments, /very cunningly planned the whole scheme to deceive and fodl -the voters. First he fixed the election a t such ah early date that, the average voter ,Would not have the chance to thor­ oughly study the amendments; then he held hack the newspaper publica­ tion of the proposed amend&ents until so late that even the most Intel- tlgent and studious Voter could*rifot hope to properly Inform himself; tbpn ' again, he fixed the election a t a time When the great mass of farmers, who fear single-tax; would be so busy with their farm work, they would probably abglect to vote; then he fixed it so that only a majority of the votes cast on each amendment would be required to adopt it, instead of the usual rule of a majority of all the votes cast a t the election; and realising that few of the voters would have a chance Co study and understand etch amend­ ment, Bigelow arranged it so that most of the amendments in which he was particularly interested wpnld ap­ pear on the ballot under such attract- *>rive, misleading and actually deceptive titles a s ‘Damage for Wrongful Death;’ ‘Welfare of Employes/ and •Workmen's Compensation.* He -fig­ ured that the average voter would he attracted* by such titles and vote for all the amendments. “The feet is that comparatively few Voters* are -or will be familiar with more than three or four of the 43 pro* posed amendments. The average voter thinks that all there is to the- election is to vote on inch questions as liquor license, good roads, and women’* suffrage, If Irt Doubt, Vote No. ' “It therefor* behooves every voter . in the state, first to be sure and gb to the polls on Sept. 3, and secondly to vote against every proposed amendment with which he in not thor­ oughly familiar, no matter hbw plaus­ ible or appealing of attractive the title on the ballot may be/’ Ruins of Immense Age. prof* Hiram Bingham, director of the Tale expedition to Fern, reports among lbs archaeological discoveries a number of Inca or pre-boa' cities, in- finding Maecbu Fichu, a city probably Built by the "msgsllthiC race" which * pteesded the Incas, The rulni are OB an almost inaccessible ridge, two thousand feet above the TJrubamba river.

Con, Bosses Art Misleading, Kept, a , August.- (Special.) -* •'Patriotism demands that ws vote the whole thing down and preserve pur representative government/* This, is the conclusion of an inter­ esting statement issued by “Farmer John" Davey, of Kent, Ohio, addresed to the farmers of the state, la which he advises them to get out on Septem­ ber 3 and vote down the forty odd. proposed amendments to the Consti­ tution. Everyone in Northern Ohio knows “Farmer John” Davey for Ms intense loyalty to the agricultural Interests pf the state and for his rugged hon­ esty, He is perhaps, better known throughout the entire country ah the “Father of. Tree Surgery." Mr. Dav­ ey is Intensely public spirited. He- if a self-made man. He is bitterly opposed to every form of Socialism or of any public policy wMch will de­ stroy the liberties or the opportuni­ ties of the people* a s individuals, 1 The Socialistic proposal entitled “Welfare of Employes" which con* ceals a provision under which it will be possible for professional political agitators. Socialist*, Single-taxers and others to control the .hours of labor and wages, in every private industry In the state, particularly aroused the indignation of Mr. Davey. When asked fpr his views on the proposed constitutional amendments, “Farmer, John" Davey said: “I will give my views, but I want to give them in my own way, and 1 want particularly to address my Bro­ ther Farmers. Therefore, I will wjrite what I want to say," His statement, addresed _ to the Farmers of Ohio, is, in part, as fol­ lows: - , “Brother Grangers, have you read the Socialistic 'amendments' to Ohio’s Constitution which they ask you to ratify on September 3rd? If not, he- stir yourselves. If you never voted before, do so on that day.? If you have not seen the official document, issued, by the Convention, gpt one and on receipt of It', run your pencil through every line- of official explanation,: and leave. the .Articles and Numbers as they passed the Conventlbn. It you •can't ascertain from these provisions what they mean, your only safety is to vote 'No/ Some master mind is hack of those ‘explanations/ stating in one place ‘there is no Slngle-tat/ hut in the Initiative and Referendum amendment, a clear opening is made to sweep the other forty amendments and thb whole Constitution out of existence. “Those 'explanations’ are the big; gest Insults Bver offered the Voters of Ohio, .I f that Convention did not give Us propositions clear enough to he understood- by The average school boy 'withhut some lordly 'con vention boss’ ‘explaining* and mislead­ ing ns in order-to take froth us the Individual rights that have produced the sturdy citizens of Ohio, placing her as one of The star* of the first magnitude of .the Union, patriotism demands that we vote the whole thing down and preserve our.Repre* sentatlve Government.” OUR GOVERNMENT NO FAILURE. Bays the Athens Trlhhner A thorough reading of the proposed amendment to the Constitution which gives to the people what is called the Initiative and referendum ought to convince anyone that the people o» Ohio do not need any such device. The Idea at the basis of the lnitia* tlve.'and referendum is that repre­ sentative government as we have had it in the United States during the whole period of its existence is a flat failure. It assumes that our legisla­ tors will not give us the laws we heed and will make laws we do not want. So this modern invention gives the power into the hands of the voters to Make laws or to veto them if they desire to. I t puts It Into the power of a minority to make laws, for It only requires a majority, of the vote cast on the measure to enact It and the whole vote cast may he a com­ paratively small minority of the elec­ torate. The state of affairs legislative muBt be terribly bad that necessitates such an addition to the legislative article of the Constitution, It Is to pine# legislation in the hands of the ignor­ ant, vicious and unscrupulous as well as In the hands of the honest, the vir­ tuous and the well informed. The Akron Times Says: Abstracts of the amendment? are not satisfactory, and exp.an&tir .a of them are likely to be ‘ distrusted where the explainers hare an inter* efit in their adoption or rejection. NeTer before, so far as we know, }ta* the state of Ohio asked its people to vote on constitutional amend­ ment* without publishing them in full. The opinion of a lot of newspapers controlled from California, aa to whether an Ohio law should be passed or not, cannot be of much value here, even if it ia not a bought opinion, given In the interest of tome one Who ha* an axe to grind.
