That section eight of article nine
of the Constitution be amended by
serting in place thereof the follow-
ing:—
| Section 8. The debt of any county &
city, borough, township, school dis-
rict or other municipality or incorpo-
ated district, except as provided here
n and in section fifteen of this arti-
cle shall never exceed seven (7) per
centum upon the assessed value of the
taxable property therein, but the
be increased in' such amount that the |
total city debt of said city shall not
exceed ten per centum (10) upon the
assessed value of the taxable prop-
erty therein, nor shall any such mu-
nicipality. or district incur any new
debt, or increase its indebtedness to
an amount exceeding two (2) per
centum upon such assessed valuation
of property, without the consent or
the electors thereof at a public elec-
tion in such manner as shall be pro-
vided by law. In ascertaining the
borrowing capacity of the said city
of Philadelphia, at any time, there
shall be excluded from the calcula-
tion and deducted from such debt
so much of the debt of said city as
shall have been incurred, and the
proceeds thereof invested, in any
public improvements of any character
which shall be yielding to the said
city an annual current net revenue.
The amount of such deduction shall
be ascertained by capitalizing the an-
nual net revenue from such improve-
ment ‘during the year immediately
preceding the time of such ascertain-
ments; and such capitalization shall
be estimated by ascertaining the
principal amount which would yield
such annual, current net revenue, at
the average rate of interest, and sink-
ing-fund charges payable upon the
indebtedness incurred by said city
for such purposes, up to the time of
such ascertainment. The method of
determining such amount, so to be de
ducted, may be prescribed by the Gen-
eral Assembly. In incurring indebted-
ness for any purpose the city of Phila-
delphia may issue its obligations ma-
turing not later than arly (50) years
from the date thereof, with provision
for a sinking-fund sufficient to retire
said obligations at maturity, the pay-
ment to such sinking-fund to be in
equal or graded annual or other per-

Construction by lower federal
ceurts of a Missouri law requiring
equipment of dangerous machinery
with safety guards was, in effect, up-
held in refusing to review judgment
for $9,600 damages secured against
the Atlas Portland Cement company
by Fred W. Hagen for injuries re-

court bald the Missouri law prevented
use of the doctrine of “assumption of

South Dakota, designed to check sales

the appeals are expected to form a

about twenty other states.

“This particular measure shows on
its face that it was legislation in ad-
vance of the investigation, instead of
investigation in advance of legisla-
tion. It is said that there was in its
favor the judgment of society. The
Judgment of society in this country
hag never been passed in favor of leg-
islation without knowledge of the equi-
ty and regardless of the facts of the
case. There was no judgment of so-
ciety in favor of the roads which were
excepted from its provisions. If there
was a ‘udgment of soclety, why not ap-
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
of roads or roads less than 100 miles
in length? I say, away with such pre-
tense! It was a surrender to force in-
stead of a clear, candid, faithful fram-
ed examination of the facts, and then
action in accordance with American
principles.
“Autocracy represents force; tyran-
ny represents force. Democracy rep-
resents the rule of the common judg-
