The Place to Cool Off
The first measure is on the proposed amendment to the
constitution of the United States repealing the eighteenth
amendment. It is necessary to vote this measure even after
you have selected your six delegates which are pledged to
vote for or against it in convention.
The next measure is to repeal the soldiers bonus
amendment after 1938.
The third measure referred by the legislature is on the
county manager form of government.
The fourth measure is to amend the state constitution
so that the legislature can change the grand jury system
providing for prosecution by information of the district at­
torney.
Fifth conies the debt and taxation limitations for cities
and school districts, requiring twothirds vote to authorize
bonds.
The sixth measure is the state power fund bonds ask­
ing for $103,779.45.
The 2 per cent sales tax is the seventh measure for de­
cision, and is referred to by the ballot title “to replace per­
sonal property taxes and reduce real property taxes.”
The measure submitted by the people is for repeal of
the prohibition amendment of the state constitution.
The last measure is the re-occuring Oleomargarine bill.
this time it is a vote on the bill passed by the legislature
taxing oleomargarine.

we are not editorially advising people on how to vote
on any of these measures. They have nearly all been before
the voters in one form or another for many years. Nearly
everyone we suppose has his or her mind made up on repeal
of prohibition. Most people know whether they want a
sales tax or not. If they are property owners they know
whether they want other people to vote bonds on their pro-
perty except by two-thirds majority. Voters are probably as
good guessers as we are if they will ever get any benefit
out of the proposed $103,779.45 power bonds which are
designated to provide salary and expenses for some inter-
t people.
The remaining measure we can not see are Of suffici-
ent import to contribute a great deal to the welfare o f th e
State.

WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE TIME?
It seems to be definitely on the cards that our reorgani-
zed industries will operate on a shorter working schedule
than has Prevailed in the past. Workers are to have a higher
average wage and a shorter average working week.
In other words, everybody is to have more time for play.
It seems to us a rather important question: What will
we do with this added leisure?
Beyond doubt, there will be a big boom in commercial­
ized entertainment, all the way from the so-called “sports”
of professional baseball, boxing matches and the like, to
super-super-super-talkies and theatrical entertainments
of all kinds. For there will always be a large percentage of
people who have never learned how to get any real benefit
out of their spare time, largely because they never had any
spare time and partly because they are too lazy or too stupid
to take part in any sort of sports or games themselves.
But we think there are signs that more and more peo­
ple are Interested in what may be called the old-fashioned
ways of having a good time in their leisure hours. Roller
skating has come back strong. So has bicycling: bicycle
makers say they are doing a record business. And that is
not because people haven’t got cars; It is because a new
generation of young people have discovered, what their
grandparents knew- that there is more real enjoyment and
health in a day of cycling in the country than there is in a
day’s motoring.
In almost every community there are better facilities
for community sports and entertainment than there were
only a few years ago. With more people having leisure In
which to take part in them, we ought to develop new forms
of community activity in which everybody can have a good
time.
If you are satisfied with the rise in the price of bread
the sales tax passage should please you. Bread went up on
the consumer because a processing tax was placed on the
miller.
----------- >-----------
And we hope, too, that some of the new leisure will be
spent by at least a few in the cultivation of the Intellect.
Most of us could do with a good deal more of that.
