Plans Set for Saturday Referenda on Marketing Controls
Washington March 10 Referenda set for Saturday will decide on invoking marketing control provisions of the farm law to curb surplus yields in cotton and tobacco. Ballots are secret and counted by three election judges per community. Eligible voters must have produced one of the affected crops last year, including landlords, widows, sharecroppers, and families with leasing agreements. Polls open at sunrise and close at 7 pm local time.

Voter Eligibility Rules In Three Referenda Proposal
The document outlines voting eligibility limits for a referendum system. It states that proxies are not allowed, farmers may not cast more than one ballot unless they produced crops in multiple communities. Corporations in coltan or tobacco may vote only on certain referenda. Three referenda would be held on prohibition and tobacco varieties. Farmers could vote in all three if they produced all three crops. Quotas require two thirds approval by Brewers voters. Counties or states opposing quotas would be exempted.
Meter Test Aims At Allowing Taxi Meters In City
The city taxi inspectors favor installing meters by King Kennon. Six major companies urged the council to amend the taxi ordinance. The meter would be kept in the glove compartment and show a red light when carrying a paying passenger. It would also prevent drivers from carrying deadhead riders. The amendment is expected to be presented at the council meeting next Thursday.
