18 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 MAN PEOPLE OPPOSE PROPOSED BASIE LA Say Proposed Constitution Hurts Cook County The proposed new Illinois Constitu- tion, a Referendum ballot on which is to be held Tuesday, December 12, is the subject of general discussion among thinking voters particularly in Cook county. 'While the proposed document con- tains many commendable features, many voters in this vicinity, partic- ularly those who are residents in the country towns district of the county, Chicago, will suffer seriously should the proposed constitution win favor at the polls. An interesting resume of some of the important provisions of the pro- posed constitution, captioned "Why the Country Towns Voter of Cook County Should vote NO December 12" is published herewith for the express purpose of giving the local voter "some food for serious thought." The resume sets forth: 1. The new proposition increases the judges serving Cook County from 42 to 58. This adds to Cook County 16 extra judges at $12,000 salary, $192,000 annually, and the extra cost of maintaining these 16 Courts. The 58 give approximately half time to our Cook County business, the other half being given to the present work of the 37 Municipal Judges now sup- ported by the City of Chicago. The country towns will pay for 58 judges and receive the service of the equiva- lent of 30 judges. 2. The new constitution will per- mit every taxing body of the country towns to increase its debt limitation from 5 per cent to 7 per cent, a 40 per cent raise. 3. It allows Cook County one-third representation in the State Senate, whereas its population entitles it a one-half. The country towns would get 2 senators and are entitled to 3. 4. It allows Cook County two- ninths representation in the Supreme Court and it should receive approxi- mately one-half, 5. The Supreme Court would ap- point all Appellate Judges, all Chief Justices of the Circuit Court, and de- termines their administrative powers; these Chief Justices appoint our township Justices of the Peace and Constables. The Supreme Court ap- points all Circuit Court Judges where vacancies occur by their elevation of the elected Circuit Judge to the Ap- pellate bench. The Supreme Court appoints all Circuit Court assistants and in any number they designate. It makes all rules of pleading, prac- tice and procedure for the Circuit Court and may assign Cook County Judges to any Illinois Circuit or vice versa. 6. By leaving to the Supreme Court power to define what shall constitute a Republican form of government, it gives that Court power to reject any initiative or referendum or recall adopted by popular vote. 7. It divides the country towns into 3 representative districts for the State legislature, but makes no dis- trict division for the County legisla- tive body. 8. It is possible that our 5 County Commissioners may be reduced and the 10 City Commissioners increased at any time by the vote of the entire County, including Chicago. 9. It gives the States Attorney General power to prosecute any per- son for offense punishable by peni- tentiary imprisonment except capital offenses without any grand jury in- dictment, which is now required. And | it gives to any judge the right to re- fuse bail in any case. 10. In granting to Chicago power to acquire and operate its public utili- ties it fails to regulate Chicago in its service of such utilities in the country towns. 11. In granting to Chicago power to consolidate its sanitary district it provides that the country towns shall be supplied by Chicago at cost, but it gives the legislature the right to relieve Chicago from supplying such service to the country towns. 12. It permits a general income tax raised by the State upon every work- er"s net income in excess of $1,000 to the head of the family, plus $200 for each dependent child under 16. 13. It does not guarantee any re- duction in Real Estate tax but pro- vides an increase tax upon every owner of real estate. \ Saturday Last Chance to See N. U. Gridders at Home The last home game of the North- western university football season promises to bring out a large crowd of north shore alumni and friends Saturday when the Purple meets Mon- mouth college in a non-conference game. Northwestern's final game of the season is scheduled for Saturday, No- 'vember 25, when the Purple squad meets Iowa at Iowa City. t is planned to send a special train-load of rooters to this game, accompanied by the University band. COMMUNTY GE COMMITEE NAVED Invite All Residents to Join "Good Times" The opening party of the Wilmette Community Dance was a "large-sized" success, both as to attendance and as to the usual "good time."

"The high quality and low cost of the Lexington is a distinct tribute to the factory community system under which it is built," says W. L. Hays, north shore manager of the r.exington Chicago company. "Lexington is equipped with the Ansted motor engine which hung up performance records during the year 1920-21 that will long remain unchal- lenged. These are stock car records and cover vital phases, endurance, hill climbing, economy and speed. In the last analysis the Ansted engine is efficient for the same reason the Browning gun is efficient, because it loads, fires and loads again with such lightning-like rapidity. To maintain the analigy a little further, the Ansted engine loads gas charges instead of cartridges, explodes gasoline instead of powder and ejects burnt gases in- stead of empty shells. The lexi-gasi- fier volatilizes to its highest -effi- ciency. Upon leaving the carburetor this gas stream passes over a hot grid which vaporizes the larger part of the gas, even heavier portions. "Moore's Multiple exhaust system must be given the credit for unloading the gases faster and more completely than is possible in any stock pas- senger car motor on the market.

It is assumed ingly elected to the committee, had it not become known that they would soon remove to Washington, D. C.; also, some proletariat, evidently an- ticipating the early nuptials of Andy's illustrious relative, cast one large bal- lot for "Uncle Bim" and "Mrs. Zan- der." At the next meeting of the "General Committee" it will elect its Chair- man, Executive Committee, and other officers. For the benefit of newcomers or those who may be a bit backward, it is announced, the members of the committee will be glad to help them to get better acquainted. "You may accomplish this at your first attend- ance, but it usually takes two or three dance nights to do so--but after that your "good times" are waiting for you, the committee says. The committee extends a cordial invitation to all residents of Wil- mette and vicinity to attend these weekly dances every Tuesday night at the Byron C. Stolp School Assem- bly Hall, Tenth street and Central avenue. Class instruction 7:45 to 8:30. Reg- ular dance begins 8:30 p. m. Arn's orchestra. Admission fee of 50 cents per person inculdes 'everything. HUBBARD WOODS SCHOOL HAS SHOP Hubbard Woods school has its long hoped for School Shop. After several weeks of working after school and Saturdays the pupils of the school, under the direction of Charles A. Kin- ney, director of shop work, have built the necessary benches and racks for the pupils' work. The formal open- of the shop will take place Monday, when it will be used for the first time. Although very modest in its begin- ings, the project is unique in that it is being financed by the pupils them- selves. Materials and tools have been loaned by the main shop at Skokie school and by interested individuals. To repay the loan and to buy new tools as needed the Hubbard Woods pupils are organizing a craftsman's guild. Each member of the guild is pledged to produce in the shop some salable article. The proceeds of the sales will be applied to the shop fund. Another unique feature of the plan will be employment of eighth grade boys from Skokie school as assistant teachers in the Hubbard Woods shop. This plan was tried out in a small way last year and proved very successful for both the older boys and their younger pupils. DR. WENDELL A.

The "houses" have been "sold out" for the special orchestra programs to be given at intervals during the winter months, according to the offi- cers of the association, and it is likely that applications at the doors of the auditorium on the nights of the pro- grams will meet with disappointment. The "Little Symphony," customarily of twenty-five pieces under direction of George Dasch, is to be enlarged for the North Shore concerts. The Orchestral association programs are distinct from those given in the after- noons for children of the high school and grammer schools. The programs are said to be well selected though not "high-brow." The first of the concerts was given Wednesday eve- ning of this week before a large and enthusiastic audience. Friendship Circle Prepares for Tuesday Hardtime Party Members of the Friendship Circle, the club for girls which convenes weekly at Community House, are pre- paring for a Hardtime party sche duled to be held at Community House Tuesday evening, November 21. The party will be a costume affair and every girl employed in the village is cordially invited to attend and to be- come a member of the circle. Wants Park Stretched Along Northwestern Right-of-way George W. Maher of Kenilworth appeared before the Wilmette village board Tuesday of this week, present- ing a plea that Wilmette co-operate with Kenilworth in securing a uni- form beautification of the territory immediately adjacent to and parallel with the Chicago and Northwestern railroad right-of-way through the vil- lages. Mr. Maher's plan included the con- struction of a permanent park 100 feet wide along the right-of-way, sim- ilar to the idea adopted by the Vil- lage of Glencoe. i -------------- AAI fa a ES a a --_e, The Battery with a Real Guarantee ET ¥ 3 - 88 SA fo SEE 3 [74 WESTINGHOUSE BATTERIES HUBBARD WOODS GARAGE Use A ----------------------------------------------------AT BROWN & WHITE CABS a Taxi Meter.
