One of the popular bills before the people for the coming elect­ ion is the bill providing for tilt- peoples expression of their choice for president and vice president of the United States. This bill, Number 356 on the ballot, is found on pages 162 to 165 of the publicity pamphlet sent out by the Secretary of State. Senator Bourne says of it in part as follows: “Direct selection of party candi­ dates for President and Vice-Presi­ dent is right in principle. Under present methods aspirants for these high offices must place them­ selves under obligations to indi­ viduals for the support of State delegations, and these aepirants, if nominated and elected, desire to show their gratitude and discharge the obligation by distribution of patronage or the granting of other official favors. Candidates chosen in a convention or assembly know to whom they owe their nomi­ nation. If selected by direct vote of the people in party primaries they would be under obligations to no individuals but would be free to serve the best interests of all the people.” The public roads of a county are the property of the people of that county—of all the people The condition of these roads is of especial inqiortance to the farmer, for he must travel them as a neces­ sary part of his busiuess as well as his pleasure. Everything he sells and everything he buys must be hauled over these roads. It is not so much a question to the farmer of how far he has to have his pro­ duce hauled us it is of how long it will take him to make the trip and how much he can haul at one load. If he has a good, smooth, hard road (good and smooth and hard in the winter as well as in the summer) from his home to his market-place he is better off really nearer) at ten miles than he is at less than half that distance on the ordinary mud road. In every view of the case, there is nothing of greater importance to the farmer, to all farmers, than the condition of the public roads. Good roads save time and money, and value to the farm, and make farm life more pleasant and at­ tractive in every way. The cities and towns depend upon the country, and whatever benefits the farmer benefits every­ body else. Whatever develops the country develops the city also. The object of this amendment is to enable the people of a county to build permanent roads roads that, with reasonable repair will last practically forever, and to build them now so that we may have the use of them and let those who come after ns (and who will also use them) help pay tor them. The people of the State have the power of changing the consti­ tution regardless of the action of the Legislature. If it is sale to trust these great [towers to your­ self and to the other voters, is there any danger in granting to the people of each county the power conferred by this amend­ ment? If the people can be trust­ ed to use the power to make their constitution and laws, are not the people of each county competent to manage the property and aflaiis of their own county? This is a matter that appeals directly to every individual voter, and each must decide the matter for him­ self. By the very act of voting ou this amendment, yon are exercis­ ing a far higher power than that given by this amendment. If you can trust yourself and can be trust­ ed with that power by your fellow citizens you can surely be trusted with the power granted by this amendment. Is there any escape from the conclusion that to vote against this amendment is to de­ clare that you ought not to be trusted with the very power you exercise in the casting of that vote? in its final analysis the only ques­ tion really presented to each voter is, "Are you afraid to trust your­ self anil the people of your county with the pover granted by this resolution? If you are net afraid, vote for it. The Ballot Number for the amendment is No. 354.
