bad not yet doclared war on turkey nor
recetvad any declaration of war from
Constantinople. Tha Turkish diplomatic
representative here Is also without In
structions of any kind from his govern
ment. Tie maintains the belief that the bom
bardment of Odessa and Novoroseisk
must have been due to a lamentnble mis
understanding and thinks It possible that
tha deplorabln dispute over control of
the Turkish navy may have led to some
Irresponsible action on the part of naval
commanders without orders from tha gov
ernment Can't Last Another Day.
The view of the Russian government is
that the present situation cannot last
another twenty-four hours. The cable
between Copenhagen and Odessa has
been Interrupted since Wednesday and

According to the Matement of the
lateat arrivals at Odossa. there have been

really being waged. Germany was de

ATTACK ON
THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW
VOTERS Bo sure to scan your ballot carefully on Novem
ber 3 for that proposed constitutional amendment falsely en
titled: "An amendment providing for uniform and progres
sive taxation."
It Is without doubt the most dangerous attempt ever
made to overthrow the organic law of this state and get
up In Us place the most radical statute ever submitted to
the voters of Nebraska.
' It Is simply a propostlon to turn over to the legis
lature the right to say what property shall be taxed and
what properly fhull not be be taxed. More than that, it
gives the legislature full and final power to select one
class or kind of property to bear all the state's taxation,
while exempting every other class and kind.
Tour attention as voters, wage-earners, mechanics,
artisans, or what not; as business men, bankers, mer
chants, manufacturers, traders, farmers. Is railed to this
proposed constitutional amendment at this time because
of its far-reaching and perilous possibilities, so that you
will not let it escape your negative vote when you co
into the polling place on election day.
Interest In persons and other questions on the ballot
roust not be permitted to obscure this proposition. Look
for It. Get a sample ballot before entering your voting
booth. Locate- the thing, and then go in and kill it.
; Remember it reads:
For amendment to the constitution providing
for uniform and progressive taxation;" and
"Against said amendment to the constitution
providing for uniform and progressive taxation."
These terms, "uniform" and "progressive," are mere
catch phrases. They are words to conjure with. They
say one thing and mean another. The only uniformity
in such a proposition would be that every class ot prop
erty, except the one selected to be taxed for the whole
state, would uniformly enjoy the privilege of seeing this
one property gradually put out of business.
But oven if such a system ot taxation be made to,
work even if any one claaB of property could sustain
t uch a burden as this where would be the reason or the
justice or the right of such a thing?
Get your slngle-taxer friend to tell yon that. He la
behind this cunning scheme. It 16 not the farmer, not the
merchant, not the manufacturer, not the mechanic, not
the small home-owner; but the socialist.
But, they say, "No legislature would impose such a
burden on this class." Well, as a prtnicple of right or
reason or Justice, why impose it on any other class?
In a word, what is the matter with the present law,
that makes every person and corporation bear his and
its Just share of the burden of taxation?
By The League of Taxpayers
district there was a failure to nominate
at the primary any candidate for Judge
to fill out the portion of the term of Judge
Lea between election day and the first
of the following year. Person Interested
wrote to the attorney general to find out
what could be done and they were la
formed that there Is no provision for
filling a vacancy on a Judicial ticket. The
result will be that the appointee of the
governor for this plm e. Judge Kamrar,
will fill out the rest of the year,
anelay Tabernacle Demented.

of repuMlran that the bill to give mil
lions to the cotton and tobacco grower
waa held up optll such a number of north

feated. The Ml If passed would have
made a big hole tn the empty treasury.
Some recent estimate bar been com

Champion, aa President of tha United
States and in the 'Outlook," of Work
men's Compensation laws for every staU
in the Union.
"Workmen's compensation is a measure of humanity,
right and justice. I hope to see the principle established in
every State." Woodrow Wilson.
"No injured man should be obliged to sue his employer
for damages. The employer should be his best friend in time
of disability and workmen's compensation brings this
about by providing automatic relief for every injury."
! Theodore Roosevelt,
As showing that both organized labor and the owners of our mills and factories (the
only ones affected) wish to accord the new system a fair trial, read these resolutions:
RESOLVED That this convention urge
the members of Trades Unions and friends of
the wage earners to vote for the Workmen's
Compensation Law of 1913 to the end that Ne
braska may enact into law the principle of com
pensation, and be in the van of progressive
states in eliminating a vast economic waste
which falls wholly under the present system on
the wage earner, the ono who can least afford
to carry the burden.
Adopted at Lincoln, Neb., September 18th,
1914, at the Annual Convention of the
NEBRASKA FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Recognizing the unfairness of the present
Employer's Liability Law and the necessity for
a system which will award fixed and prompt
payments for all injuries to employes, without
litigation or deduction of attorney's fees or
court expenses, and believing further that such
a system will tend to reduce the number of ac
cidents in our mills and factories, be it
RESOLVED, That this Association urge
the voters of Nebraska to vote "YES" on the
Workmen's Compensation Law at the General
Election to be held November 3d,
NEBRASKA MANUFACTURER'S ASS'N.
The Compensation Law does not apply to employers having less than five employees
to householders, to farmers nor to the employes of any of them.
Every voterwhether affected by the law or notis urged to
Vote "YES" on the Workmen's Compensation Law
at the General Election, November 3d
