1t has been said that the least
governed people in the world are the
best governed. II this be true in
any sense, it should apply to a peo-
pie as intelligent and law-abiding
as our own. If there is feature
OF the Initiative and Referendum
idea better than another, it is in
its promise to restrict legislation.
The Statutes of Colorado are clogged
with a multitude of useless if not
harmful laws. 1t has been the
custom that member of either
house must introduce a large num-
Der of bills or have his ability as
statesman doubted. If he knows
that his laws" may be taken be-
fore the people and dissected word
by word before they reach final de-
structiveness, it should at least max
him think twice while writing them.
Few laws are necessary to govern
our people. We may need new laws
but they should be just the kind
required, in the fewest words and
shortest sections that will secure
enforcement and guarantee against
technical evasion. A check upon
the capacity of a Colorado legisla-
ture to introduce and enact all
manner of bills has long been need
ed If the Initiative and Refer en-
dunn acts as such a check, it will
be at least worth trying.

In the matter of county commits
will agree that it is good thing to
have at least a minority represen-
tation on the board. 1t serves as
a possible check, and check-rein
is always a good thing whether 1t
need be applied or not. BY the ell
ection two years ago the Democrats
secured apparently, a control of the
board of county commissioners in
Delta county for the four years.
Granting that Commissioner Wilson
be elected for a second term this
fall, the board will still remain
Democratic for the next two years,
but with. as during the past two
years, Republican minority rep
resentation. The writer once lived
in a county in Illinois which was
overwhelmingly Democratic. At the
time, by legislative enactment of
the state, counties so situated,
and electing three representatives,
as did that county, voters could cast
three votes for one representative,
one vote for each, or " votes for
two of the candidates. This gave
the minority party a chance to
vote three votes each for It's one
candidats and elect him, thus Sc
curing a minority representation. In
the spirit of fairnses on the part Of
the Democrats of that community,
The Delta independent., 1910-10-21

the matter had become custom
and they only nominated two can
didates, while the Republicans nom
mated on, and those candidates
were elected accordingly. Both the
state and county regarded the plan
as not only fair, but one of the
safest that could be arranged to in
sure satisfactory administration of
public affairs.

Don't know of any little thing for boys wear that ever made quite the hit these double-yoke blouses have.
 Mothers have seen their goodness; noted how well they were protected against wear at the very point where most blo1ses first give away. Double thickness of fabric across the shoulders strengthens them-in the one usual weak spot.
 Boys like them because they fit so we'll and because their patterns and colors are. both good.

RICHARD RONALD ALMOST CAUGHT
 IN BANK VAULT
His Cries Heard by Banks Runner, and Imprisoned Man Is Saved from
 Suffocation

A very narrow escape had Richard Ronald, who cancels checks for the First-Bridgeport National Bank, last night. when he was all but locked in one of the large vaults of the bank, in which he would certainly have died of suffocation before morning. The vault is not one in which money is stored, but in which books and pa- pers are kept. It is the duty of Wendell Holmes, runner for the bank, to close the vault every afternoonI af- closed by two sets of doors, the in ner steel doors, and heavy outer doors. Holmes slammed the steel doors with bang. He then began to close the outer doors, but hearing cries paused to investigate. He opened the steel doors and out stepped Holmes, a much frightened youth, whose life had been saved by hairs breadth.
