Initiative and Referendum.

The State Grange Bulletin offers the
following suggestions in regard to the
constitutional amendment to be voted
upon at the next election.
1t should not be understood that it will
be necessary for every bill passed by
the legislature to be submitted to
vote of the people before it be.
comes law. The plan proposed ia
based upon the system which has been
in operation for many years in the fed.
eral government of Switzerland and
known as the optional referendum and
initiative. There are always some
measures Of such an urgent nature that
it would obviously be contrary to the
best interests Of the state to allow time
for them to be submitted to the will OF the
voters.In the plan proposed for our state
such acts as are" necessary for the imme
diate preservation of the public peace
health or safety are made exceptions tC
the referendum rule and may become
laws by atwo-thirds majority OF the legis
lature and the approval of the governor
1t is also customary to require de-
mand from a certain number of the vo-
ters before any measure passed by the
legislature shall be submitted to direct
vote. In Oregon the proposed constitu
tional amendment fixes the number al
not more than per cent.
Furthermore, it has been found where
the plan has been in operation that but
very few bills are ever put to a direct
vote.
The mere fact that the people have
this power in their hands if they choose
to exercise it has a tendency to make
the legislative body cautious in theil
acts.
In Switzerland the optional referen
dun was adopted in federal affairs il
1874. During the next 20 years there
were IL years in which no bill was or
dered to direct vote. During the othel
nine years vote was demanded on Is
bills, II of which we're rejected. Oh
these II, 4 were afterwards slightly re.
vised and accepted without a direc
vote.
In many of the cantons, or states w
would call them, where the initiative
and referendum system has been il
operation for many years an equally
small portion Of bills have been ordered
to a direct votes
The plan was adopted by popular
vote in South Dakota in 1898, and was
completed as to the statute law in 1899
One session of the legislature has sinct
been held and not one bill was ordered
to a direct vote although five per cent o
the voters could have ordered it upor
any bill that has passed except urgency
measures

Top Graftlng On Slberian Crab.

Two apple trees, one located near Du-
buque and the other ON the prairie in
north central Iowa, are hale and hearty
and bearing good crops of fruit at 30
years OF age. There is nothing very re-
markable about this, but when we say
that both these trees are Seek No Far
ther apples, top grated on the stock
of Siberian crab, the Seek No Farther
being an apple which it is utterly i'm
possible to raise upon root graft in the
territory named, it becomes fact OF
much interest for all fruitmen. These
trees surviving the climatic changes and
shocks of 32 years and bearing abund-
ant crops Of one OF the best apples in the
world on their little Russian trunks, is
an object lesson that should be needed
ny all those who are interested in grow
ing fine apples. We also know of jon
athan apples so top worked which are
bearing fine crops of splendid fruit in
Southern Minnesota a territory in which
the Jonathan apple is no more at home
than is our eolored brother. Facts like
the foregoing should be needed and act
ed upon by our fruitmen. j. S. TRGGG.

Big Snow Drifts.

"If you want to see snow drifts, " said
gentleman at one of the hotels last
evening, 'go up and make trip over
the Dolgeville railroad. Many places it
is like going through tunnel. The
snow in many places between Little
Falls and Dolgevile is five or six feet
higher than the tops of the cars. They
pull the blinds down on the car windows
when they run through these places and
you can hear the snow scraping along
the sides of the coaches as if it would
tear the roofs off of the cars. 1t is a scary
ride, but rather interesting il you are
