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

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.
