ADYERTISMENT “SINGLE TAX WOULD MAKE THE FARMER THE GOAT” ;l- I Amendment to Limit Elections and Safeguard the Initiative and Referendum Meets With Ap rovalof Leading Ohioans—Affects Constitutional Amend- !■' meats Only and Permits Action On the SameQuestion Thre Times In Seven Years. .I- •If ■ 'Of all -the endorsements of the pend­ ing amendment tp limit elections and pafeguard the I. and R., the state­ ment by' Hon. J. Milton Barnhart of Lebanon, a farmer member of the re­ cent Constitutional Convention, drives home hardest the object of the pro­ posal. He .says:. , ’’The viewpoint of a farmer, j which has been my chosen occu- j pation. You will remember the persistent efforts which were made in the Constitutional Con­ vention and have been made at - the polls for the adoption of a measure for thfe classification of property for taxation, and which 4s but the hand-maiden for the 'single tax-’ If .adopted, it would make the farmer the goat The farmer is willing to contribute a fulf share, but unwilling to as­ sume additional burdens, And they, together with those persons who realize the necessity of giv­ ing this important branch of in­ dustry a ’square deal,’ should line up solidly for this amendment to * curb continual nagging by those Who seek to force upon the peo­ ple Something, which they do not _ want.” ’*• T The amendment Commended by Mr, Barnhart and so many others is easy to understand. It reads: "NO amendment of t&e Constitu­ tion shall be submitted to the electors which involves any pro­ posal or part of any proposal which, since Sept. 4, 1912, shall have been rejected more than once by the electors, unless six years shall have elapsed since ‘the last rejection.” This amendment is popular with the members of the Constitutional Convention that framed the “L. & R.” {Here are expressions of approval from pome of them: . HON. GEORGE W. HARRIS, CIN* JCINATI:—The initiative and referen­ dum is one of the fundamental safe­ guards for the preservation ‘of our democratic governmental institutions. ULs a member of the fourth Constitu­ tional Convention of Ohio, 1 helped snake the principle of the initiative and ^referendum ap a rt o f the organic law of the state. It is because I fear jthat the principle of the initiative and referendum may be obscured or destroyed by the abuse of the right jto use this political instrumentality, that I am in favor of the conservative limitations on its use that are set forth in your proposed amendment. HON. E. B. .KING, SANDUSKY:— JTor one 1believe that after a thorough canvass, Once repeated, in favor of a given Idea, has been had, that the al«ctorate should be given a brief rest and an opportunity to think over the subject, and that six years Is not ttio long. HON. JOHN ROEHM, DAYTON.— Tou will find by the r$pords of the (Constitutional Convention that I fav­ ored a workable 1. & R. However, I did hot then or do I now. favor an I. Hb R, that Wilt continually keep the people in a turmoil relating to any particular subject defeated year after year. The continual agitation by sub- saiMfoh of any such questions year {Niteryear must bring the I. A R. grad­ ually in disrepute and will be finally Ike undoing of what was expected {Would he one of the great reforms In -ifaror of the pet ’!«. 1 HON. F. M. MARRIOTT, I)ELA* IWARB:—I have only to say that I path in favor of the amendment, and {hope you Will succeed in its adoption jjpiefor* the people, ■ HON. SOLOMON JOHNSON, STRY- —Yon and 1may not agree upon a* the propositions that might presented time after time after h« l been defeated, bnf I am sure do agree that after a proposi* has been defeated twice that the ought to have a rest. HON. JOHN ULMER, TOLEDO:— K i for the initiative and reh reft but th« use of tnesa two valu- * a . i able rights must be within the limits of sound reason. WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY. Newspapers of Ohio praise this pro­ posal to limit elections, Excerpts from editorials follow: CINCINNATI ENQUIRER: — In- dorsement by the voters' of Ohio of the proposed amendment to the Con­ stitution of Ohio to prevent the .re- submission of issues twice defeated until after'.the lapse of six years will rob the initiative and referendum of none of their potentiality as instru­ ments of popular government, hut will restore to the people of Ohio a feeling of confidence and a degree Of certainty in its laws, Ohio is com­ mitted to the principles of the initia­ tive and referendum, apd will con­ tinue to employ them unless their constant abuse by irresponsible agita­ tors causes the people to rise in wrath and discard them altogether. * COLUMBUS STATE JOURNAL:— Viewed purely as an abstract proposal, as it should be, it would appeal to al­ most every thoughtful and steady-mind­ ed man. Nothing is gained by any­ body, except those who profit directly by agitation, from keeping the state Stirred up year after year by new ex­ pressions of opinion on the same old recently decided questions. Nothing Is gained and much is lost in the way of attention to business and peace of mind. COLUMBUS DISPATCH: — The fundamental law, while it should never b6 utterly beyond the reach of the amending hand, ought to be fairly stable. Statutes may now be changed every two years. Shall we assume that the Constitution basis of statutes should be subject to change every year? *. * * There are other matters of public policy, the consideration of which should not be continually in­ terrupted by futile agitation of ques­ tions recently settled, WAVERLY REPUBLICAN-HER- ALD,:—It would save the state hun­ dreds of thousands of dollars in do­ ing away with elections on twice-de­ feated constitutional proposals for a period of six years. The people are entitled to rest upon these defeated proposals, and besides the State Con­ stitution is not a football, to be kicked argund at each election and amended each year to suit the whim of some high-salaried agitators. * * *” EAST LIVERPOOL REVIEW:—It would be better if a halt were called somewhere. The decision of the elec­ torate should be binding for a little while at least. Little, if any, good iff accomplished by keeping the elec­ torate in constant turmoil. TIFFIN ADVERTISER:—The pro­ posed amendment is aimed not at crippling the usefulness of the initia­ tive and referendum, but at the agita­ tors who would use it ad llmltum for the purpose Of getting their pet hobby into the basic law of the state by ex­ hausting the opposition. CINCINNATI TIMES-STAR:—The t A R. has done pretty well in Ohio. But It should bo used as a means by which the people can express their opinion on any public question, not as a device for the waging of contin­ ual warfare by one group of Special issue enthusiasts against another. MT, 'GILEAD UNION-REGISTER: —To be whipped once often settles a fellow. To get tiro thrashings gener­ ally fixes him so that he is willing to wait until he is stout again, HILLSBORO NEWS - HERALD.*— Put away your prejudices and desires so far as certain pet theories of yours are concerned, and look at this amend­ ment calmly, and we are certain that it will appeal to you as fair and rea­ sonable, MANSFIELD NEWS:—UcOple of Ohio are justly tired of the perennial agitation that is kept up' Under some guise whereby the community is kept in an uproar about something alt of of the time, with various elections, proposed constitutional amendments VOTEONTHEAMENDMENT THISWAY.

PORTSMOUTH TIMES:—If "the voice of the people” means anything it ought to be accepted. But there is no such acceptance under present ar­ rangements. An amendment is beat­ en. by the tens of thousands and blithely those who thrive on conten­ tions and campaigns get up.another" submission and the work thereof'goes Oh eternally, It all makes for an un­ settled and unwholesome • condition and the total effect is to make a mock­ ery of popular government,” LEBANON- WESTERN STAR:— The Western Star Is in acocrd and sincerely hopes, the amendment may carry. As it is now the organic law of the state is little more. than, a foot­ ball of politics and we favor the amendment In order that the Consti­ tution may again have some stability, SANDUSKY REGISTER:—A Con­ stitution haB heretofore been regarded as more Important than a constable. The organic law has always been held , as requiring greatbr stability, longer tests of its provisions, than a mere tenure of office, from president to cor­ oner. LOGAN RECORD: — Cairy this amendment and when the smoke clears away from the battlefield in November, whichever way the election goes, wet or dry, the infernal agitation and clawing and spitting will be over for at least six years. WOODSFIELD SPIRIT OF DEMOC­ RACY:—To be continually harassing the voter on the same issue will cause him to become disgusted and when a matter of vital Importance does come up be will remain away from the elec­ tion and not vote at all. LIMA NEWS:—It would seem that the voters would wish such an amend­ ment to carry, no matter what their individual views on leading questions; FOr such a great state as Ohio to be continually called upon to vote on the same questions, is childish. Those who are opposing tbo amend­ ment to limit elections are especially of two classes: 1, Those who want to make the single tax a part of the fundamental law of the state. 2, Those who find it of profit to harass and annoy the voters of Ohio by placing before them year after year some pet hobby.

The party arrived in town on the B. & 0 - train and went to the drugetore whwf the woman asked the proprietor if she might go behind the prescrip­ tion case to dress her limb.

The druggist euspected something and on making an investigation discovered th a t all his cocaine was gone. - The.offlcers were notified and be­ fore the two could get a train they were placed under arrest and locked up, LEGAL KQTICE Common Plea* Court, Greene County, Ohio.
