The constitutional amendment is on the ballot as No. 324 Yes and 325 No. Paragraph 8 of Section 2, Art. Xl-d, reads: To loan the credit of the slate, and to incur indebtedness to an amount not exceeding 6 per cent ot the assessed valuation of all the prop erty in the state, for the purpose of providing funds with which to carry out the provisions of this article, notwithstanding any lim itations elsewhere contained in this constitution; and Section 3 of the same article provides for placing this huge responsibility in the hands of three men, in the following language, the legislative assembly shall, and the people may, provide any legislation that may be necessary in addition to existing laws, to carry out the pro visions of this article; provided, that any board or commission created, or empowered to administer the laws enacted to carry out the purpose oft his article shall consist of three members and be elected without party affiliation or designation. It is axiomatic that one cannot eat his cake and keep it at the same time, and it is equally a demonstrable fact that taxes can not be cut by adding unnecessary further bonded debt to the state’s obligations. i axpaytrs will beet serve uteir own i/ilereoto by giving care ful study to this measure and voting “No” on election day.
