Our neighbor, the Independent,
has all along contende1 with much
empbasy and vigor that the people
are competent 10 deal with any
public question, yet it does not
lend its countenance to the propos-
ed plan of giving the voters of
Missouri chance to pass upon the
state senatorial redistricting thru
the initiative and referendum. If
the old constitution. and party ac-
tion under it is sufficient, will our
contemporary please inform us
what object the people of Missouri
had in view when they adopted the
initiative and referendum rule?
1t should not make any difference
whether the appeal to the people
comes from Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, as long as a sufficient mum.
Der of them pray by petition for
popular decision upon the disputed
question. This is pure democracy,
not partisanship. Consistency is

The Independent urges the vot-
ers of its party at the primary
election to make a popular seIec-
ton of candidates for county Of
fees on the Democratic ticket for
which there are no announced can
didates. This plan looks all right,
but is more likely to lead to con-
fusion than good results, for the
reason that the vote might be so
scattering that it would be hard to
tally. We believe the better plan
would be for the voters of that
party to vote for the candidates
on the Republican primary ticket
for the Offices for which there are
no Democratic candidates, thus
pledging themselves to support
those candidates, and let the Offices
60 to the Republicans by the de-
fault of the opposing party. No
particular good could come from
permitting the Democratic central
committee to fill the ticket after
the primary election, for such a
ticket would be made by few per-
sonally interested party bosses.

President Ripley of the Santa
Fe railroad system, who recently
predicted that the government
would own all the railroads inside
Of ten years. also went so far as to
cay that the railroads would sell
out only upon their own valuation,
which would mean a valuation bas-
ed upon the profits that could be
gougsd out of the public, and ex.
hibited in dividends on ws:ered
stock and inflated bonds. The
American people would indeed be
blindly foolish to submit to any
such scheme of robbery. There is
no solution of this problem tenable
except confscation of the railroads
by the government and reimburse.

1t is continually argued that as
long as the people want liquor all
the prohibitory laws that can be
enacted will not enforce prohibi-
ton. However, the personal de-
sire for liquor is small factor in
the sustainance of the traffic, COM
mercialism considers no individual
inclination. 1t is due to the fact
that the suppression of the liquor
traffic cuts into someone's divi-
dends or profits that makes pro-
hibitory laws so hard to enforce.
So far as personal desire for liquor
goes, five years of complete prohi.
bition would wipe it out entirely
the individual would forget it,
or if he ever thought of it
at all, it would be to wonder that
he ever submitted to the tyranny
of the traffic.

The St. Louis authorities are
somewhat worked mp over the ''joy
rider" problem. Why not treat
the automobile the same as the
horse drawn vehicles are treated ?
Anyone who drives horse on the
city etreets faster than the law al
lows is promptly arrested and fin
ed, yet automobile owners pay no
heed to the speed limit ordinances
and are rarely molested. When the
authorities once impress it on the
automobile owners that law means
law, the automobilist will take his
speeding to the speed track, as the
horseman does.
