CHICAGO, November 10.—Conserv- atism In Tuesday's general election was not confined to the-voting for candidates for office, but also was carried into the referendums on spe- eial propositions and proposed amend- ments to State constitutions, the ma- Jority of which were defeated. Initiative measures involving tax- ation, parochial schools, bond issues for improvements, war _veterans' bonuses and scores of other ques- tions were submitted to the voters of the different States for accept- ance or rejection.

Proposed measures in Washington and Michigan which would have re- quired all school children to attend mone but public schools were decl- sively defeated. Montana and Colorado rejected plans for compensating World War Veterans, while a proposal to pay a bonus to veterans of ‘wars, other than that of 1917, met a similar fate in Kan 7, on the other hand, | approved casure with the add- ed provision that woman veterans of the World War also were to be compensated. Marylunde adopted an amendment providing for a bonus Florida, one of the several States to vote upon a State income tax, de-| glded by an overwhelming majority | to prohibit forever the levying of &n tnhoritance or income tax upon resi- | dents of the State ond Issues Voted. Several States voted upon large| bond issues, the greatest of thes one providing for the sale of $500,- 000,000 in bonds to enable California to take over and operate a huge waterpower project—being defeated. Tlinois voted $100,000,000 for hard Yoads, while Kentucky refused to ap- prove a $75,000,000 bond issue, part of which was to have gone into road bullding and the remainder into State fnstitutional funds and to pay off an old State debt A nlove to approve ratification of the child labor amendment to the ederal Constitution met with over- whelming defeat in a Massachusetts Feferendum. | | CHILD LABOR BAN LOSES. | 400,000 Plurality Rolled Up by Bay State Opposi' By the Ass BOST( November 10.—The question & to whether the voters of Massachusetts should instruct the { of the Legislature to ratify the child labor amendment to the Federal Constitution was decided em- Phatically in the negative on election day.

ATLANTA, Ga., November 10.—Al- though Florida emphatically approved a constitutional amendment Tuesday providing that no inheritance or iIn- come taX be levied by the State and exempting the head of a famlly from taxation of personal property to a valuation of $500, five days after the clectcion the result of the proposed change in the organic law of several other states remains in doubt. So close have several contests de- veloped that the official review of the returns by State canva bodies will be necessary to d South Carolina will not know | for several days if its Legislature is The result is regarded as very much in doubt pending the call of the State board of canvassers by the secre- tary of state. The proposed State bond issue of $10,000,000 for educa- tional purposes is narrow cha Biennial sessions of the general as- bly were received with enthusi- sm in Georgla, where a heavy ma- jority was polled in favor of the change. Georgla also voted to ex- empt certain manufacturing indus- tries from taxation for a period of five years and authorized the creation of a new county, Peach, to be the State’s 161st count Tennessce Vote In Doubt. Fate of the proposal for a consti- tutional convention in Tennessee Is in doubt. Early returns gave a ma- jority against the proposal and later advices swung the advantage to the affirmative side, but by a narrow margin, and with the returns yet in- complete, the official count will be necessary to dectde. The latest tabu- lation gives the conveution proposal a lead of 1,200 votes. By a vote of approximately three to one Alabama favored seven amend- ments. Perpetual exemption from poll tax will be granted to all World War veterans and authority is given for forming drainage districts, good roads and sea wall districts in the State. A'number of amendments with more local than State significance also were authorized Loulsiana’s constitution is only a few years old and for some vears it will be necessary for the entire State to vote on many local amendments, 13 amendments being on the ballot at this election. The only proposed change of more than local interest was a proposal, adopted without serlous opposition, whereby penstons of Confederate veterans will be in- creased.

The vote in favor of limiting the State-debt was decisive, as was the vote for making sinking funds inviolate for the purpose set aside. The vote on the question of increasing salaries of members of the General Assembly was clase. A heavy vote was polled in favor of homestead tax exemption. In addition to the far-reaching amendment against income and in- heritance taxes, Florida carried an amendment authorizing the Legisla- ture to provide a uniform rate of taxation and for specia! rates of taxation on Intangiblé property not to exceed 5 mills on the dollar and to exempt from taxation property owned for municipal, educational, scientific, literary, religlous or chari- table purposes.

MARYLAND FOR BONUS. Vote Reveals State in Favor of Veterans’ Award. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Md., November 10.— The overwhelming victory -at- the polls last Tuesday in favor of the constitutional amendment for aid or adjusted compensation for war vet- erans, paves the way for leglslative enactment of measures looking to that end. The general assembly two years ago passed a soldiers’ bonus for Maryland World War soldiers and sailors, but opponents of the act took the matter into the courts, with the result that the measure was de- clared unconstitutional. The amendment, which last Tuesday by more than 40,000 majority, removes the prohibition now in the State constitution which prevents the State from pledging its credit for the raising of moneys which could be used for the ald or as adjusted compensation to those citizens of the State who with honor served their country or State in time of war.
