WHAT 1T MEANS.

The Inter Ocean has been wait
ing patiently until the Grand
Forks Herald might put it's
Initiative and referendum" ideas
into succinct form. We have not
waited in vain. A few days ago
the Herald stopped theorizing, for
one issue at least, and gave us its
platform as follows:
The Herald's proposition is simply to provide
for the submission to popular vote of measures
upon which a sufficient number of people ex-
press a desire to vote. The legislature would
not be compelled to pass anything that it did
not wish to pass. Its work would be subject to
review by the people. That is all.
Take the prohibition law as an illustration.
The constitutional provision could not be
changed except in the regular manner, but the
people would have the same power to amend
the statues that the legislature now has. Sup.
pose a reasonable percentage of the people
wish for the enactment of a law increasing OF
decreasing the penalty for the sale of LIQUOR.
They have a bill drawn in proper form and a
petition for the submission of this bill tc
popular vote i'll accordance with proper regula.
tions is presented. The legislature need moi
act on the measure at all. It is submitted, and
adopted or rejected by a majority vote. That
is the initiative. The referendum simply pro
vides for the submission to popular vote O
measures passed by the legislature, and upor
which a reasonable proportion of the psopl,
wish to vote.
Here is a proposition for a com
plete revolution in our system O:
government. It is more radical, i
possible, than anything the Popu
lists have ever proposed. "Tht
legislature need not act on thu
measure at ALL" says the Herald
statesman. lit is submitted, anc

The secret service has unearth-

and secured a large quantity of
bogus bills, which are SO cleverly
executed that the average person
would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value
are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably the
celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators
but no equals for Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness
and general debility. The Bitters
sets things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good
order it makes good blood and
plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength
and vitality, and restore vigor to
the weak and debilitated. Beware
of counterfeits when buying.

Flax in the Northwest.
Minneapolis Tribune.

Minneapolis Tribune.
Under the heading "a New
Industry for North Dakota" the
February number of the North
west Magazine has an interesting
article on the recent development
of flax growing in the fourishing
north state of whose neighbor-
ship Minnesota is SO justly proud.
It appears that last year some
100000 acres were sown to flax in
North Dakota, and the yield was
in the neighborhood of 100000
bushels of seed. The price of
flax seed took a sudden Jump in
the market, and the farmers who
were fortunate enough to have
raised a crop Of it reaped a rich
reward.
The crop is measured by the
number of bushels of seed, because
up to within the last few months
no steps were taken to create a
market value for the straw. It
was quite as much Of a waste as
wheat straw, most of it being
burned as refuse. But last spring
representatives of large flax fibre
company of Boston and London
were induced to visit the state.
They had experts examine the
straw to determine its adaptable
ity to the manufacture of paper
under a patent held by them.
The experts pronounced it as fine
as any straw cultivated solely for
the fibre. The outcome. was the
erection of a huge fax fibre mill
in Fargo, with a capacity for work.
ing up 1000 tons of fax straw per
month. This will give the farm
ers Of the state a market to that
extent for what was formerly a
waste product. With the seed
and the straw both merchantable,
the farmers ought to do exceed
ingly we'll raising flax.
We do not know that Minnesota.
as a whole, is so we'll adapted to
flax culture as North Dakota, but
we are certain that a vast area of
northern Minnesota is, and the
success of the fax farmers in
North Dakota should stimulate
Minnesota farmers to go and do
likewise. There is an unlimited
market for the products of fax
fibre. The Fargo concern is tn
manufacture high grade linen
writing papers. If such papers
can be made from the straw grown
in this region, all kinds of linen
fabrics can be also. There is an
unlimited demand lor linen
fabrics, and there is no reason WIN
when American capital and energy
and skill are directed to this
branch of manufacture, American
linens may not equal in quality
the most famous manufactures Of
any other country.
Time was when American rail-
roads imported their steel rails
from Europe. Now, American
manufacturers beat the world in
the quality Of their steel rails, and
can also undersell the world. The
same evolution may be brought
about in the linen industry.
We are glad that North Dakota
and Fargo have made a start in
this matter. We would not like
to see anything done to impair the
value of the Fargo fax fibre in.
vestment, but we are certain that
there is room for all in this line,
we should like to see some of our
Minnesota cities acquire the same
kind of plants, or more extensive
ones.

lor lllOEe Cndn b century, and no
one ever put this plan into opera
ton; no political party ever adopt
ed it. Whittier have we been
drifting?
Under our present legislative
system a bill is introduced and re-
ferred to the proper committee +;
the committee reports it back with
amendments; it goes to the cal
endar and finally comes up for
consideration, for discussion and
further amendment. Meantime
the law officer of the state may be
required to give an opinion as to
the legality of the measure. It
must conform to the constitutions
and the statute laws of the state
and of the United States, and also
come within the scope and mean
ing of the common law as inter-
preted by our supreme court; after
which the bill is passed. It has
yet to be construed by the courts,
if any question as to it's regularity
should arise.
According to the Herald plan
"they (the people) have a bill
drawn in proper form, and a petit
ton for the submission of this bill
to popular vote in accordance with
proper regulations is presented.
The legislature need not act on
the measure at all
Again we are impelled to pause
and remark, as before, how simple,
and yet how wonderful The bill
is to be "drawn in proper form" to
begin withdrawn by the people,
in phalanxes Of one per cent, five
per cent. ten per cent or en- masse.
No amendments will be necessary,
or perhaps it is to be amended at
the polls! "The legislature need
not act upon it at all !" But sup
pose the legislature did act; sup
pose the bill were put through all
the processes of the present sys-
tem-committed, amended, recon-
mitted, amended again, examined
and changed by the attorney
general, further amended separ-
ately in the two houses and then
reconstructed by a committee of
conference-its original authors
would not recognize it as the bill
they drew, and the probability is
that they would jump all over it at
the polls.
Now the only way that the
Herald can avoid such a catas-
trophe is to provide that "the
legislature SHALL NOT act upon it
at ALL" The Inter- Ocean also
suggests that the Herald have the
encouragement pass upon the bill
after the people have it drawn. In
this way it might be put Gin prop.
or form" This would enable the
Herald to eventually do away with
the legislative branch entirely.
So much for the Herald's initia.
tive" scheme. AS to the "refer
: endum," which the Herald saw,
: simply provides for the submis
sion to popular vote of measure,
passed by the legislature" let u,
, see what the effect would be. It i,
not unreasonable to say that a
least twenty-five of the acts passed
at any one session of the legisla
ture would have to be "referen
dumed." First, the people inter
