Chicago Especially The drop in
the prices OF meats in Chicago ranges
from 10 to 33 per cent, according

reductions probably will be made in

ent figures cannot be maintained.
Increased supplies. caused by the
rushing to market by farmers and

tained for several months have been

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

MT. Bryan in his Little Rock speech expressed himself as being in favor of not loudly cheered on the expression of this view, because Arkansas democra- cy as whole is not in favor of this doctrine. As an ideal it is undoubtedly good. But we must not overlook the fact that in matters of government as we'll as other things we are dealing with conditions quite as much as we are with theories.
 In country where the principles of democracy are taught and believed, it would be an ideal condition if the peo- pie could originate their laws and also vote on them after they are passed by the legislative bodies. We believe, however, that there are few if any countries in the world ready for this form of government. Switzerland seems to be the most successful ex- ample of it.
 Many pages could be written on the subject, but briefly. t seems to us, that one of the greatest objections that could be urged against it in this country is the never ending campaign of politics that it would cause and maintain. We almost have this con dition now. Again it would certainly be an expensive method of making laws and would not be as swift as the passage of two cent rate bills in Ar kansas, to say the least of it.
 Do the people always know what they want? The legislators, as a body, often find that they do not know what they want. The ideal democracy would be great form of government, but are we ready for it? Is it not possible for IS to easily go to the extreme in our advocacy of democratic doctrines of this kind? We are all ready to praise the great principles expounded by lief ferson, but if his views had been put into practice as he would have them a hundred years ago, the American government would most likely never reached the degree of success which it has. The compromise made with the Hamilton school of statesmen we be- lieve was wise, and we sincerely doubt if the American people are yet ready to break this compromise and adopt the extreme views of the Jeffersonians. What promises to be one of the great est political problems of the future in this country is: Shall we abolish
