A few words of explanation in regard
to tlie purpose ot tit* amendment* may
not be amiss. The first limiting the
ad valorem tax to ttmuilhs means that
th* state rate can never bo higher titan
$5 on tho thousand of property. 1* is
now $l'80. This measure seems to a* a
good one. It allowafor extra taxation
cr.se of invasion or hnmnroction. Ik

Our advice is for th* voter to draw a
line tlmongh the paragraj,^, beginning
against rati(lcatiott».“ as applied to the
first amendment.
Tkie second amendment we also favor,
provides for ioc<)L.taxation for pub-
schools. If this amendment is adopt-
it will allow any community that
wauts to spend mere money for pablic
schools to do so, but it will not fi>rco
any community to do so uulosa- they
vote for such additional orqwnditnre at
local election. Our advice is to scratch
the pencil' through ’“against ratifies,
toin” of tho seucodathemlwent.
