The tax article and the reapportionm ent provisions will be subm itted as separate gropo •itions, while the remainder or: the new organic law will be preserited to the voters as a single proposition. This means that the voters on Elec tion Day will have te vote altogether on six propoaitions—the three which make up the new Constitution and the three others th a t will be submitted in pursuance of Legislative enactment.
