Special Bills Majority Defeated Across Middle West
Reports from Chicago dated November 9 summarize a broad midwest trend of voter rejection on many state constitutional changes and special measures. Michigan rejected three amendments while Minnesota approved road and forestry measures and rejected a Duluth Minneapolis terminal elevators plan. Other states narrowly split on taxes, court expansions, workmen compensation, and political reforms with varied outcomes. Far West results show California approving a poll tax and boxing, while Arizona, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, and Oregon sent mixed signals on taxes, bonds, and reform initiatives.
