Gin PLANT
BURNE: D
PLANT OF THE PALESTINE ICE,
FUEL, GIN COMPANY SUFFERED
A SEVERE LoSS-oNLY PAR
TALLY INSURED.

Fire starting about o'clock this
afternoon destroyed the gin plant of
the Palestine Ice, Fuel, Gin company,
located on Granbury street, just west
of the oil mill
The origin of the fire is not known,
but the supposition is that a match
was ignited in the ginning that had
been accidentally dropped in the azaH
ton. Two bales of cotton were de-
stroyed and much valuable machinery.
The plant was valued at approximate
ly $4,000, with only $4,000 insurance
The engine house and engine were
not damaged, neither was the seed
house, in which were stored several
tons of seed The fire was confined
to the one building, though for time
other buildings were endangered
There was some delay in getting
water, as the water plant for some
reason had temporarily shut down,
and the gin people had been nosified
only a few moments before the fire
started that temporary shutdown of
the wafer plant was necessary. When
water was secured the whole of the
of the gin was in-flames.
This was one of the finest gin plants
in this section, and was equipped
with all modern machinery and APP
pliances.
The bale of cotton in which the
ire started would have been iuAt
even 900 ginned for the season. had
t not been destroyed Two or three
,ther bales we're on the platform, and
we're rolled out of harms way.

This is the season when the govern
ment weighs the mails approximately
three months to determine how much
mail the railroads carry per year, and il
is noticeable that the mails are being
padded to make up a large average.
The congressman and senators who are
representing the railroads instead Of the
people, are using their franking privilege
to fare-you-wel. The Topeka Capi-
tai tells Of instances in which congressman
franked out old stale reports, particular

The amendment to the Constitu-
ton submitted this fall allowing the
schools of the state to extend their
work, ought to pass almost unani-
mously if properly understood.
The writer was formerly a stud
ent of the State University and the
need of authority to conduct part
of the medical courses at Denver
rather than Boulder was then sore
ly felt, when the school was half its
present size, The medics cannot
get to see enough different cases
in city the size of Boulder and
they can in Denver. If you want
good doctors, vote the medical
school the chance it wants to ex-
pand and improve, We know all

Detailed reasons for passage of
the amendment providing for fund
ing of outstanding State warrants
are stated in the amendment itself.
1t is a plain business proposition.
A state can borrow money for a.
bout half the interest those war
rants are drawing. The state can
not afford to repudiate and never
pay it's warrants. They have to
be made good some time, the soon

Editorials
The Initiative
and
The Referendum

An amendment to the Constitu-
ton Of Colorado is proposed to be
voted on Nov. 9th, next which if
adopted will put in force the Initia-
tive and Referendum. The Initia-
tive in practice works as foilows:-
Some one prepares bill and cir
culates it for signatures as petit
ton. Under the law proposed 8
per cent of the voters signing and
filing of the bill with those sigma
lures in the office of the Secretary
of State entities the bill to place
on the ballot at the next ensuing
election as an initiated bill.
The Referendum as proposed
works in practice thusly: Either
S per cent Of the voters by petition
or the legislature by a majority vote
may put a bill on the ballot as a
referred bill, which has previously
passed the legislature. After se-
curing space on the ballot the
Initiated and Referred bills 60 thru
the same process.
If a majority of those voting
thereon favor it the bill becomes a
law. Before the election at which
it is submitted the bill must in the
form of the amendment proposed,
be published in q news paper in
each county 4 weeks.
The Denver Times calculates the
price of such publication of the %
bills on the Oregon ballot this year
under both Initiative and Referen
dun at $500, $50. if done in Colo
rado as proposed. Possibly the
public would rather pay for the an
tics of legislature.
The amendment as submitted is
open to further objection on the
point that there is no opportunity to
amend an Initiated bill. 1t either
passes or fails exactly as proposed
by the original author. If he makes
an error his error is perpetuated,
permanently preserved like the
bodies of the Pharaohs, and at pos
sibly as great expense.
These points just mentioned are
the principal practical objections
to the Initiative and Referendum
bills proposed this year in Colorado.
A measure open to either of them is
an impractical absurdity no voter
understanding it would be apt to
favor.
But this is all aside from the
basic principles of government in
