The railroad commissioners
made their annual inspection ()
of this road last Monday. In
stead Of an inspection the trip
has more the appearance of a
pleasure jaunt. The inspection
was not advertised here at all
and but few knew of the date.
No information could be obtained
from the railroad people as to
the arriving time of the train and
all one could do was make a run
for the depot after the whistle
blew for the station if he wanted
a glimpse Of the inspection q
train. According to schedule
the train was to run to Aneta and
inspect to Casselton, arriving at
Casselton about $50 pm. AS a
matter Of fact they got to Aneta
about nine o'clock, and after get
ting supper and waiting for a
freight train to get out of the
way, they started the trip of in,
spection about eleven o'clock,
pitch dark, and the commission,

Andy Schatz was here, left by
the train on it's up trip, because
of his corpulency which prevent
ed his making a flying leap to
catch the train as it pulled out.
The look on the honorable gentle
mans face when he realized that
he was indeed left was really
comical. A message failing to
bring the train back, he left the
depot in disgust, muttering some
thing which sounded like sTo =
with their - train. I want
my zupper," The train returned
about twelve o'clock and stopped
for him to climb aboard. The
trip up this line was a farce,
nothing less, and we opine
that the same is true of the entire

To the Honorable. the General Assembly
OF the State Of Rhode Island and Provi-
dence Plantations:
Gentlemen:
You assemble today under circum-
stances somewhat different from those OF
one year ago. Then. opportunities for
employment. and compensation for SER
vices. everywhere stood above the aver
age for the ten preceding years-the times
relatively speaking. were good. Since
then. however. there has occurred q
marked falling of i'm the market values ot
many great corporations, followed In
some localities by bank failures. by a re-
duction OF wages. particularly in the
steel and cotton manufacturing indus
tries. and finally by multiplication OF
the number OF unemployed.
n not wholly, to a certain extent these
threatening signs are due TO bad legisla
ton, both state and national For ex.
ample the monstrous capitalization OF
the so-caled trusts. whose collapse was
the first check to the seeming commercial
prosperity, owed it's existence 20 the reck-
less and improper legislation OF some OF
the states.
devolves Upon YOU as legislators, TO see
TO II that the measures presented for
your consideration be carefully examined
and be enacted whenever. and only when
ever, being Just I'm themselves. they prom
ise 10 subserve the greatest good OF the
greatest number.
To this end II is only necessary that
you should put into practice those princi-
pies OF Republican government 10 which
al o,.71o lx1 In At,aa ri AZ,
state II was originally designed. and I'm
theory now obtains that the people
should have control OF the organic law.
As the legislature may enact, amend. and
repeal statute law. so is Il essential to
self government that . majority of the
qualified electors should possess the
power. with due delfbcration. 20 alter IN
like manner the constitution Of the state.
CONSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVE.
For several years An amendment 10 the
constitution. so drawn as TO confer upon
fve thousand voters the power to propose
future constitutional amendments. has
been before the general assembly. Two
years ago the passage OF that amend
ment was petitioned for 10y 2S organiza-
tions In the state. INCLUDING labor. reform,
and religious bodies. representing many
thousands OF citizens. Upon these pc
ttions no action whatever was taken.
Experience elsewhere proves that the
power conferred upon the electorate iu
the popular initiative II emlnently safe.
II has resulted In gradual and careful
progress. and could not possibly lead TO
such revolutionary follies as irrepealable
law. or the transfer OF the appointing
power from the executive 20 one branch
OF the legislature.
In view OF the wide demand. and I'm view
or It's intrinsic merits. ask you. gentle
men. 10 give to this wholly non-partisan
measure due consideration, and feel
that I'm so doing no good reason will be
found for it's rejection. Certainly no one
who has faith in a government by the
people can logically object 10 the consti-
tutional Initiative
