S
Up At Nov. Election
Change In Constitution Of
State Is Before
Electorate.
Voters to Pass or Reject State Tax
on  Cigarettes at the
Same Time.
/	
At the November 4 election voters
will be confronted with the .task of
voting on four amendments to the
Constitution of the State of Michi"1
gan and upon one public act. Elsewhere in this paper the township
hoard has caused to be published the
amendements and act completely.
The proposed amendment to Article X, section 14, of .the Constitution
will provide, if adopted, that the
state may be a party to, or interested
in improving rivers and streams for
the purpose of -drainage only. The
present law provides that the state
may be interested in the -improvement of roads, reforestation and protection of state-owned lands and
grants of state land.
The second amendment is to Article VIH, section 18. This amendment
retains the constitutional mandate
that townships shall elect certain officers annually, but, if adapted, will
authorize boards of supervisors in
counties having an assessed valuation of not less than one hundred million dollars to determine that the
township officers in such counties
may be elected for two years at -each
general November election and also
that the legislature may provide for
the appointment of a highway- commissioner by the township board instead of electing a commissioner of
highways.
The proposed amendment to Article V, sections 3 and 4 is the so-called reapportionment amendment. An
editorial on this subject may be
found in the current editorial columns. It is proposed to amend section 3* of Article V by providing that
the House of Representatives shall
consist of 100 members instead of
"not less than 64 nor more than 100
members," and also by eliminating
the sentence—"Each county, with
such territory as may be attached
.thereto, shall be entitled to a moiety
of the ratio of representation." Sec-,
tion 4 as amended, provides that the
Legislature at the first session after
each United States decennial census
shall rearrange the senatorial districts and reapportion the representatives among the .counties and districts and provides that if the Legislature shall not do so the secretary of
state shall forthwith "--make such reapportionment.
■Act 119 ^Public Acts of 1929 imposes a tax of one cent on each ten
cigarettes or fractional part -thereof
sold, distributed, or given away in
.this state.

Not a neighboring news note, but
interesting just the same is the following clipped from an exchange:
Prophets predicted that the city of
Peoria, HI., would retrograde to a
mere trading post, when her mammoth distilleries were closed ten years
ago by national prohibition. The census discloses that in no former period
of ten years has Peoria "shown so
great an increase in population and
wealth. It "is now second city in H- <
