the Senate made 1t possible to submit
the constitutional amendment to the
people at the approaching election. SO
that two years hence the people can
initiate and refer the measures they
demand. Included in the bill is a pro-
vision which will give all cities and
towns the right to the initiative and
referendum in their local affairs, as
soon as the people adopt the amend
ment at the polls. The bill, therefore.
establishes the peoples rule not only
in statewide affairs but In the affairs
OF the political units within the state.

ever stop to think that it would
be a hard matter to face anybody

Why? Because you, and 90

sicians ascribe observation-disclosures
ton a Republication of the weight
of the heart, with it's pulsation on

Another theory accounts for it
like this: Primitive man found

as flattering to those companies as

ing figures:

probably sell around par. For the
purposes Of this argument we VIII as
sumo an average value of par for the
entire capital. stocks and bonds, as
the market value is constantly iluctu-
ating and par represents tair aN-
erage for these securities Tor some

by adding stocks and bonds we
find that the total capitalization of the

sarily an excessive valuation as the
cost of building and equipping d ran
road is generally figured at from S4O'-
GOO to 500. 900 per mile in mountain
