Referendum number 5: This measure provides for the re- enactment of this state's present 40 mill Iimit tax law. The mea- sure states explicity what maximum tax levies can be assessed and makes additional assessments illegal unless voted in manner pres- cribed by law. This measure has the endorsement of the state Grange, taxpayers organizations and most public officials and candidates regardless of party. So far as this newspaper can deter- • • • mine no serious arguments have been raised against the referen- dum's enactment. Amendment to constitution abolishing two term limitation for county officials: Those in favor of the act point out that this hw is archaic. Only two either states in the nation limit the number of terms a county officer may hold. County officials, even if the two term limitation is removed, still must face the electorate at stated in- tervals to be returned to office. Too, discredited or unworthy of. ricers may be removed by any one of rive different ways.
