No high prices. Phillip H. Shuey, 205 Main Street, Grass re YOU DON’T SIGN ANY BLANK CHECKS. By RALPH H. TAYLOR If a stranger suddenly accosted you on a street corner, presented a blank check and asked you to sign on the dotted line—what would you do? You might call a cop or summon an alienist. You might lead with your left and cross with your right. You mig’at march by in high dudgeon, muttering, ‘‘What’s the country coming to?’’ But you certainly wouldn’t sign. That’s asking a bit too much—even in an era of “share the wealth.” On the other hand, if the same Stranger presented a petition to double your tax bill, there’s a chance you’d sign without. hesitation. And if the presumptuous fellow submitted a second petition revoking your right to equal representation wit your fellow citizens in matter of government, . you. might again reach for your fountain pen and jot down your endorsement. Preposterous! Perhaps, but nonetheless hundreds of thousands. of California voters are just that preposterous every, two years, signing petitions for scores of initiative proposals without even knowing their contens. It’s the political @quivalent of signing a blank coat ey petition circulators boast that one ‘out of every five voters will sign any petition submittedVoter carelessness in signing petitions for measures which would be disastrous to themselves and the eu. tire state—except for the fact that other more cautious voters usually repudiate the. dangerous proposals at tue polls— is chiefly responsible for the ever-lengehtning California ballot, loaded with 20 or 30 proposed initiative acts at each election. The subject is of current importance because petitions either are in circulation, or will shortly be placed in circulation, for the dangerous “Single Tax’’-Sales Tax Repeal Act, which would more than double the tax. bills of farmers, home owners, business men and other common property taxpayers and for the OneHouse Legislature proposal, which would deny rural California fair representation in the state legislature. Each of these proposals, to qualify for a place on the 1938 ballot, will require the signatures of 186,378 registered voters. It is a safe assuMmption that if every voter, when approached, looked on: an, initiative petition as.a blank check—and took the trouble to read the terms of the agreement — both measures would fail to qualify. But. if history repeats itself, one out of five (far more than the required number) will sign without question! And taxpayers, property owners and other persons endangered by such legislation will be compelled to spend thousands of dollars in voter education campaigns to prevent their enactment. And many of the same voters who signed the petitions will complain, when they go to the polls on election day, that “the ballot is loaded with crack pot legislation!’’ ; Perhaps it is worthwhile, just on the possibility that ‘tne ratio of oneout-of-five can be reduced, to list Valley. 10-8--moc what the two proposals propose: DICK 1 WE DO EVERYTHING TO KEEP YOUR CAR RUNNING SMOOTHLY REPAIRS AND ADJUSTMENTS, OIL AND GAS SERVICE LANI?S AT BROAD AND UNION, NEVADA 1 <W AGE py CAI to him Modern cleaning processes re 111 MAIN STREET EDBURTNER .

OTT, Proprietor Wee teateeteteteeteteateetretedeateiion ee Ne Ne ee Ee ee ee i a WARNS WRITER CONSTITUTIONAL by MAX BERNS ‘ Power for Mischief — Have we any protection against the danger of an all-powerful central government? In his inaugural address in 1861, ; Lincoln said: “By the frame of the _ government under which we live our Constitution, this same people have wisely given their public ser‘ vants but tittle power for mischief; ‘and have, with equal wisdom, provided for the return of that little to their own hands at very short intervals.” Our Constitution divides our government into three . independent ‘branches, limits the power of each _ branch and provides that this power be “returned .to the hands of the people” by periodic elections of Congressmen, Senators and the good . . Executive. These stipulations cannot be altered by Congress or the Executive or the Courts, ag,our Constitution can be amended only by the people. In these ways, “we the people,” in our Constitution, “give public servants but little power for mischief.” Copyright 1987 by Max Berns The “Single Tax’? scheme, overwhelmingly beaten at many ‘previous elections, is a modification of the old Henry George plan to make land carry the entire burden of taxation. It would repeal the state sales tax, which goes largely to the support of the public schools—and put ‘the load on land It would repeal the present constitutional provision limiting the state taxes.on land to.25 per cent of total appropriations, It would eliminate (over a ten year :period) all taxes on improvements and tangible personal property—again placing the burden on the land In addition, it would repeal the use tax and the motor vehicle ‘‘in lieu’’ tax—and transfer this load to the farmer, homeowner and business man also. The One House Legislature proposal would alobish the state senate . . —rural California’s house in the legislature and give the cities complete dominance in all legislative matters. . , I would require that the farmer present himself, hat in hand, to ask favors of city legislators, instead of making known his desires through his own duly elected members.
