Bight propositions to change the constiution of Minnesota will be on the “pink ballot” every male vo- ter will receive at the general elec- tion two weeks from today. The eight proposed amendments were adopted by the 1915 legislature and submitted to the popular vote. The amendments are published on the back page of this paper. As a rule only one or two amend- ments carry because of the require- ments that each amendment get a | majority of all the votes cast at the il election, which means that failure to SR il vote on an amendment is @ vote i against it. b The amendments this year will ap- 9 H pear in the following order: 8l 1—Amendment to the state land ¥l section, authorizing $250,000 of the i permanent school fund to be set aside | as a revolving fund to make im- ! provements on state land, the cost of improvements to be added to the sale price of the land and returned to the fund when it is paid in. 2—Permitting loans from the state school fund on farm lands up to 30 per cent of the land’s value. This amendment also extends the maxi- mum term for bonds of municipali- ties purchased for the state trust funds, from 20 to 30 years. 3—Authorizing the state to dis- pose of minerals under lake beds which the state controls in its “sov- ereign capacity,” and turning the proceeds into a permanent good roads fund. 4—Adding two associate justices to the state supreme court and em- powering the court to appoint its clerk, now elected by popular vote. 5—Authorizing the governor to cut down items of appropriation bills in the exercise of his veto power. 6—Permitting condemnation of primary property for drainage opera- tions. 7—The initiative and referendum amendment, submitted to the voters for the third time. 8—Extending terms of probate judges from two to four years. The initiative and referendum pro- | position (Number seven) differs slightly from former ones. If it should be adopted two per cent of the voters, by petition, could bring the measure before the legislature. If the legislature rejected the bill, or passed it in amended form, another petition signed by six per cent of the voters would bring it up at the next general election for popular vote. It would become a law upon getting a majority vote, provided the affirma- tive vote was one-third of the total vote cast at the election. The referendum feature is also new. If a petition signed by six per cent of the voters is filed, a bill pass- ed by the legislature must be sub- mitted to the voters at the next elec- tion, and if the petition contains 15 per cent of the voters’ names, it will suspend the law until the vote is taken. A majority in the negative, provided the negative vote is equal to one-third of the total vote cast, will kill the bill. But the section does not allow a referendum on tax levy or appropriation bills, or on bills declared to be ‘“emergency meas- ures’” by two-thirds vote of the legis- lature. Read the amendments on the back page of this paper. Study them care- fully. Be sure and vote. A vote not cast is a vote against an amendment. PROTECTION FOR AMERICAN LABOR As the campaign progresses the at- tention of the intelligent public is becoming centered upon the question of the tariff. The desire is every- where manifested for the enactment of a just and efficient measure that will protect the American wage- earner from the ravages of the hun- gry, but industrious, slum-bred Eu- ropean who, having laid down the sword, returns to his factory ready and willing to work for the merest pittance. The people do not - want a presi- dential ukase that may temporarily benefit two per cent of them at the expense of the remaining 98.
