II HE constitutional convention Of Michigan
i has finished its labors and the instrument
that the members have framed will be ratified or
rejected by the people of the Commonwealth.
Michigan is Stat composed of intelligent per
sons and it may be interesting to note some of
the striking features of the new organic law as
made by the convention. There are many impor-
tant points in the constitution and mention OF
few viii show the drift of sentiment among the
Michigan people.
The constitution provides that majority of
the Legislature may take matters from commit
tees. This is good provision. 1t prevents the
throttling OF legislation that NAV be desirable by
a committee. Legislative lobbies like to keep
things that displease them in committees. 1t IS
easier to control few men than it is to control
many men,
All legislative bills must be printed FIVE days
before action is taken by the General Assembly
This is another good provision. Ii prevents rush
legislation. The people know what is likely to
become a law. Publicity does away with devious
methods. Light is better than darkness in legis-
lation.
On all local acts referendum vote is provided
for. A legislature cannot foist a law upon a COM
munity unless that community approves.
Home rule is granted cities and villages by
granting them power TO frame and amend their
charters.
The principle Of municipal ownership of public
utilities is considerably evxtended and provision
made for municipal ownership if the residents
of city or town desire it. All franchises are
limited to thirty years. This is a safeguard that
every State should have. There ought to be no
perpetual franchises. Provision is made for tax
ing property Of all public service corporations.
Trust companies are placed under the State bank
ing law.
Amendments of the constitution are made pos
sible by initiative petition of twenty per cent %
the residents OF the State subject to veto by two
thirds of the Legislature
These are a Jew of the commendable provis-
ions OF the new constitution Of Michigan

DEMOCRATS ASK SOME POINTED QUESTIONS Of SENATOR FULTON

In former conventions the republi-
can platform makers have always de-
ciared for the election of United
States senators by the people, and
Nir. Roosevelt in one of his numer-
GUS messages of last December, the
18th, urged an amendment favoring
sut election, stating that; "There
can be no true reform IN national
policies until the senators are elect
ed by the people directly and become
directly responsible to the people"
The question being now up to the
senate, the true sentiment of the re-
publican leaders--not of the party
rank-was necessarily disclosed at
the Chicago convention when they
declared against the election of sem
ators by the people.
Senator Fulton, what are your per-

NARROW ESCAPE
LOADED GUN IN TRUNK
NEARLY CAUSES TRAGEDY.
Weapon Goes Off When Corner of
Trunk Strikes Platform and Bullet
Strikes Kenneth Hannum I'm the
Arm-Contcnts of Trunk Set on
Fire-Owncr Nearly Mobbed by
Irate Trainmen.

Carelessness In carrying a loaded
weapon in a trunk which might hav,
resulted fatally yesterday was tn,
cause OF an accident at the o. X. &
n. depot in which Kenneth Hannum
! baggageman, was shot by "A bail from
a 45-caliber revolver. The ball graz
ed the under side Of Hannum's lef,
arm, cutting a cash several inches in
length and bruised the left side of his
body by the force OF the impact.
The accident occurred just after
No. had pulled east. Hannum and
Albert Kearney were transferring the
trunk in which the weapon was pack
ed from the baggage car OF the Walla
Walla train to the truck when the
weapon was discharged by the jar.
The ball tore through the metal pro-
tecting frame Of the heavy leather
trunk and through the big metal
hinge. the soft bullet being twisted
to shapeless, jagged mass that tore
the flesh Of the young mans arm. 1t
then entered thee ar where it was
found.
The discharge OF the gun set fire
To the contents Of the trunk which
was broken open and the fire eXtin-
guished.
The owner, supposed to be a racing
man, appeared and registered an abu-
sive kick over the condition of his
trunk. He is said to have narrowly
mobhing at the hands of by
standers and without leaving any
name It is said. rushed onto the Odd
Fellows special and got out of town.
The trunk was checked from
Walla Walla. The officials of the
road here are looking for its owner
and II found threaten prosecution

ing a loaded weapon in any article

The gun was a monstrous weapon
Of an old style and was in such re-
pair that discharge was inevitable

Pendleton is to have a new depot.
According to a statement by ]. p.
| O'Brien, manager for the o. r. & N.
railroad, the structure has been au-
thorized by the officials Of the road
and it is an assured fact. Mr.. o.
Brien's letter written to President
Alexander of the Commercial club,
indicates that the proposition is now
up to the city and citizens Of Pendle-
ton.
Plans for the building are practi-
cally completed, and have been for
several months, as the building, 1t In
understood, was practically assured
before the panic struck the country
last fall. As soon as some small de-
tails Of the plans are worked out Mr..
O'Brien will visit Pendleton and take
up the general questions involved with
the citizens here.
1t is intimated by those who are
in position to understand. that the
plans for the new building call for
handsome structure architecturally,
and one with splendid accommoda-
tions for the local business. one fea-
cure of the new building and It's ar
rangement will be more platform
room-to relieve the present crowded
conditions in the afternoon when the
local, No. and the Spokane train
arrive and the Walla Walla train de-
parts. The number of passengers and
the vast amount of baggage transfer
red at that time makes such an ar
rangement almost imperative.
One of the questions which may be
discussed when Mr.. O'Brien meets
with the Pendleton business men is
that of location. 1t is not known that
the railroad people have definitely
decided the exact location of their
new depot. but 1t is supposed and
hoped by many that the site chosen
will be that of the old coal chutes.
from a business standpoint this Is
considered by local business men
ideal since it would be so centrally
located and at the same time would
relieve the present blockade of Main
street with the long passenger trains
from the east. 1t is known that such
a location has been considered IA
vorably by the road even so far back
as the time of the burning of the old
coal chutes when the company hesi-
ated about rebuilding because of the
splendid locations the site offered for
4 new depot.
Another plan contemplated is the
removal of the round house to "V''
shaped piece Of property owned by
he road several blocks west of the
present site of the round house. while
/ third possibility is said to be a re-
'ersal Of this last in which the depot
would be built farther down and the
.ound house remain in its present To-
alton.
The plans for the new building con-
a structure of brick. or con-
rete and in size and cost il is under
TODD thu, the depot will approximate
hat at Walla Walla.

they We're awake. Mr.. Fulton called
upon the republican senators present
to rally about him to prevent the
president from debating his successor
to the national convention in Chicago
next June. He declared shat the re-
publican party faced the greatest cri-
sis in its history; that unless the re-
publican party rallied at once, the
country was doomed to be governed
in the future by the whims of one
man and would require many years
to recover from the damage to its
business and its politics. Next he de-
clared that the republican party was
doomed to destruction unless the
party leaders prevented It's domina-
tion by one man."

In talking of the normal school sit

people Of the state insist on pulling

instead of the three at present. Mr..
French declared that it is now the
accepted belief of school men that to
DO the most effective work a normal
school should not have more than
80 students. So he believes in the
policy of keeping the present schools
ather than consolidating them into

The argument for the smaller
schools is that in them students come

Charles w. Fulton:


To Senator Charles W. Fulton:
Senator Fulton, will you deny from
the platform that you ever said in
private conversation: Taft is a
weak sister, He does not form an
opinion until he learns what his mas
ter at the White House thinks?"
While YOU were misrepresenting the
people of oregon in the senate of the
United states, why did you, following
the lead of Aldrich, Cannon, Dalzell,
sherman and the plutocratic interests.
oppose all the Roosevelt reform meas
ures, and why were you so unpopular
with the administration that at one
time they had "Heney on your trail?"
Why this change of front. Mr., Full
ton, If the only issue is, "Shall the
Roosevelt policies be continued?"
The republicans have had control
~ every branch of the government
for years-if they so favor Mr.. Roos-
evelt's policies why have his recon-
mendations been ignored and the will
o. Aldrlch, Cannon and Sherman been
the law of your party? VIII you and
your party in congress act differently
