DIRECT
LEGISLATION
THE NEW MOVEMENT.
What is meant by Direct Leg
islatiOn or the Initiative and
Referendum, and the Power
of Recall.

The object of this reform move
ment is to place the government
of the country more directly under
the control of the people and to
bring the lawmaking power nearer
to what was intended it should be
by the founders of our republic, by
making the will of the people as
expressed by the ballot, the SUI
preme law of the land. In a free
government, such as our republic
is supposed to be, the majority
should rule and their decision
should be final from which no ap.
peal could be taken.
A representative government is
all right as long as the officers chos-
en- to represent the people perform
their duties periodically and do
the will of the majority of their
constituents; but when it degener-
ates to the point where the wishes
of a majority of the people are dis
regarded and Especial interests"
control the actions of the represent
atives, and dictate what laws shall
or shall not be passed, and thus
absolutely control our government
through its legislatures, then it is
time to "have change of deal" and
let the people rule for a while.
The Power of Recall we consider
as the most essential of these re-
form measures. Should this be
adopted the official who does not
do the will of the people may be
Immediately deposed and another
sent to fill the position. A severe
penalty should attach for punish
ment where an official violates his
oath of Office and betrays his con-
stituents.
Like the direct primary, the di-
rect legislation movement is meet
ing with opposition by the machine
politicians and their allies, only,
who fear that their power, politi-
cally, is being taken away and
that their graft will be a thing of
the past. For the last decade the
graft and corruption of those in
power have become SO great hat
they no longer try to conceal their
fragrant acts, but openly defy the
laws of our country and abandon

State OF Idaho be amended 80 as TO
permit direct legislation by the people
independent ofthe legislature or any
municipal council or board of trustees.
Section 3. The Secretary Of State is
hereby authorized to make publication
of these constitutional amendments in
each county for at least six consecutive
weeks prior to the next general election
in not less than one newspaper of gem
eral circulation published in each
county.
The above amendments are worth
a very careful reading and analysis.
Give them your most careful con-
sideration, and then say if such
law can injure any man woman or
child in the whole state Of Idaho.
This is the very highest test of every
law, and the friends of this measure
are willing to leave it entirely TO
the voters of Idaho, to say whether
or not they want it to become
law; but it's enemies, all those who
oppose it, object to submitting this
proposal to the voters Of the state.
They well know that the people of
Idaho will endorse it almost unan-
imonsly. They know that the peo-
pie of Oregon adopted it by a vote
of II to 1. Utah, Nevada, Mis-
souri,, Montana, Delaware, Maine,
Oklahoma and South Dakota have
adopted it by large majorities.
This is brief outline OF its re-
cent development in the U. S. OF
its origin and growth, utility and
justice, | hope to speak at a future
time. Wherever it has been tried
it has given perfect satisfaction to
the great majority of the people and
its use has never been curtailed,
but gradually extended. 1t was
never intended to abolish the law
making power of the legislature,
but simply to supplement that
power by giving to the people them
selves the right to enact, by their
votes, such laws as they want if the
Legislature refuses to enact them;
and also gives the people the veto
power over vicious laws. This pow
err will seldom need to be used, be-
cause when the legislature realizes
that the people themselves can en-
act the laws that they want, most
enactments will be made to CON
form to the peoples will; and the
people themselves will realize
great advantage educationally, by
becoming interested in and famil-
lar with their laws"

our land and the farcial attempts
10 check it, by the party in power,
is joke.
The following communication
by Hon. Dow Dunning on the In
itiative and Referendum is we'll
worthy ofyour careful perusal and
study.
what is meant by Direct Legis-
lation, or tue Initiation and Ref
erendum? They are one and the
same, inasmuch as Direct Legisla-
ton will be brought about by
means of the Initiative and Refer
erdum. But the Initiative and Ref
erendum must be secured by an
amendment to our state constitu-
ton, and before such a measure,
or any ether desired reform, can
be submitted to the people, the leg
islature must first give its consent.
This is not party measure but
popular movement among the most
advanced nations of the world in
order to place the law making power
in the hands of the people, and
make legislative bodies responsive
to the peoples will. This will net
abolish legislatures, but simply
give to the people themselves the
power to enact such laws as they
want, by the Initiative provision,
whenever the legislature, for any
reason, defeats the will Of the ma
jority of the voters. Also by the
provisions OF the Referendum, the
people, through a majority of the
voters, have the power to veto any
acts or measures passed by the leg
islature, whenever they have just
reason to believe such acts or meas
ures are contrary to the public well
fare. In order to carry out these
provisions and give to the people
of Idaho the divine right to govern
themselves according to the die
tates of heir own conscience,
through laws enacted by the popu-
lar will, instead of the influence of
great corporations, Owyhee's repre-
sentative introduced in the Tenth
Assembly the following amendment
to Idaho's constitution.
House Joint Resolution No. 5.
By DUNNlNG.
A joint resolution to be submit
ted to the electors of the State of
Idaho for rejection or approval;
amending section one of article
three, of the State Constitution, so
as to provide that the people shall
have power to propose laws and
amendments to the constitutions,
aud to enact or reject the same at
the polls, independent of the leg
islature, or any municipal council
or board of trustees, and also to
reserve power, at their own option,
to approve or reject at the polls
any act, item, section, ordinance,
or part of act or measure or or
dinance passed by the legislature,
or any municipal council or board
of trustees, and providing that no
executive officer shall veto any
act approved by the people under

PREVENTION OF DISEASE

The slogan in the medical world to-
day is prevention of disease. This is
indicated in various ways In the iso-
laton of infectious and communicable
diseases; in the enactment of laws to
prevent contamination of inland water;
inspection of cattle, both before and
after slaughter, for tuberculosis; by
the pure food laws passed by the ma
tional and state governments; in the
manufacture, care and sale of all kinds
of food products; the inspection of
buildings regarding plumbing, ventila-
ton, air space, ETC.; passage of laws
relating to employment of children,
under certain age, in shops and fac
tories-these only a partial list of the
remedial agencies to protect and pro-
mote health. Every measure of such
character should receive the indorse-
ment and aid of everyone interested in
the betterment of mankind, physically,
mentally and morally.
After centuries of trying to cure dis
eases, the medical world is at last try
ing to prevent them-the advanced
physicians are aiming to put their
brothers out of business. 1t is difficult
to decide whether this new step is due
to the advancement of scientific re-
search, the silent influences of the vari-
Gus mental processes in treating dis
ease, or the conviction that drugs and
medicines fail to cure. Whatever may
be the cause, the evolutionary fact is
clear: "The ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" The impetus
toward the preventive is everywhere
apparent. One of the most important
is the movement to establish school
of preventive medicine and the wide
spread Endorsement which physicians
of high standing have given it. Ma
tional state and city health author
tiles are bending every energy to pre-
ventive measures and educating the
public along this line The Canadian
Medical association at a recent meet
ing expressed it's waning faith in the
efficacy of drugs, even for relief, and
urged the value of domestic sanitation,
cleanliness, simple food and proper
rest as preventives of disease. The
discussion of these subjects is awaken
ing the people in general and they are
beginning to realize that their health
is matter very largely in their own
control.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-28
HOT WEATHER DIET

A great many people pay little at
tention to the kind of diet they should
adopt with the varying seasons of the
year, and hot or cold weather, eat food
that they should not for the comfort
of the body and it's welfare.
Especially is this true during the
summer months, when proper diet
will materially assist in the avoidance
of many of the discomforts of the
heated term.
Avoid heat-producing foods. With
good bread and butter, fruits and veg
etables, there is no need of overtax-
ing the system with meat and grease.
And do not overeat; don't force the
appetite and overload the system; If
you do not crave food, there is some
thing wrong with you general system
and which requires something besides
food. At such times try fasting in
limited degree; put your stomach on
short rations, and give the human
machinery little rest. Appetite will
take care of itself if the general sys-
tenn is in good condition. A good appe
tite is indicative of good health.-Ex
change.

THE HABIT OF INvALlpIsM

Few people realize that their all
ments are largely self-induced They
get into the habit of not feeling well.
II they get up iii the morning with d
slight headache or some other trif1ing
indisposition, instead of trying to rise
above this conditiolL they take a
positive pleasure in eXpatlating upon
their feelings to anyone who will Iis-
ten. Instead of combating the ten
de4cy to illness b. filling the lungs with
pure, fresh air, they dose themselves
with headache tablets or some other
patent specific warranted to cure what
ever ill they think they are suffering
from, they begin to pity themselves
and try to attract pity and sympathy
from others. Unconsciously. by de-
failing and dwelling upon tne.r sym
toms, they reinforce the first simple
suggestions of illness by whole army
of thoughts and fears and images of
disease, until they are united to do
a days work in their homes or offices.
We are all more or less prone to in
dolence, and it is the easiest and most
natural thing in the world for young
people to accustom themselves to lying
down or lounging on a sofa because
they think they are tired or not well.
Much so-called invalidism is simply
laziness, fostered and INDUCED from
childhood. There IS a great danger tnat
girls who are delicate while growing
up and lounge around the house ana
lie down whenever they feel the least
bit out of sorts will form habit OF
invalidism when they reach maturity.
How often do we see such girls brace
up" at once whenever anything nap
pens which interests or excites them.
For the time being an instantaneous
cure is effected They are as well as
ANYBODY until after the interest is over.

THE HEALTHY HOME

The healthy home must have plenty
of light and air-too much shade Is
bad as it keeps the entire house damp
and unwholesome. The home should
stand separate from all other buildings,
so that light and air can enter from
every point of the compass.
There should be under the home a
well-kept, clean basement or cellar. No
part of the house should rest on the
ground nor should any dark or unven-
tilated cellar be allowed. If any portion
of the house is unprovided with cell
lar free air space should be provided
underneath, kept perfectly clean. :.
A two-story house is preferable. If
a cottage the second floor is better In
every respect for sleeping rooms. They
are farther from the ground where
dampness and fog settle for good part
of the year. This is especially true at
night.
A dirty, dusty, damp cellar is men
ace to the health of the family. Be
sure that the cellar or basement is
kept clean and sweet. A quantity of
unslaked lime will sweeten the atmos-
phere and absorb much of the damp
ness. The cellar must be well ven
tilated.
Plumbing must be carefully looked
after. In building economlze for any
thing else rather than on the plumb
ing. But even if 1t is of the best it
should receive some care. Concen-
trated lye is one of the valuable clean
sers and should ue used freely. So
should chloride of lime. Get 20 cents
worth of copperas and dissolve it in
boiling water and turn 1t down the
toilet This should be done about once
a week as it is a splendid disinfect-
ent.

INFANT MORTALITY

1t has been authoritatively stated
that the 1aziness and carelessness of
mothers has contributed more to the
excessive mortality among children
than any other one cause.
Every year there are hundreds OF
children whose digestive organs are
ruined, even before they are developed.
and the way paved for a short life and
a painful one because mothers of babies
are regardless of any rules of hygiene.
In nearly all foreigners families, as
we'll as in a great number of American
homes, the baby is carried to the table
in its mothers arms, even in the first
year of it's life.
Mothers eating with their children in
their arms offer the little one a spoon
full of tea, then a morsel of bread, and
before the meal is over the child has
taken into its stomach conglomera-
ton of food that it would require an
adult stomach to digest. The result is
that when the little one reaches the
age of or 6 it is a ready victim of
diarrhoeal diseases.
There are hundreds of cases where
children are given tea and coffee
regularly during their first year. In
some cases they are given sips of beer
from a family pail, and become sub
iects of nervous diseases, even if their
little stomachs were able to stand the
hard food. Bananas because they are
easy to give a child, are favorites with
unthinking mothers, and are among the
most dangerous foods. Children are
sometimes thrown into convulsions by
swallowing pieces of banana.
More dangerous than the foods are
the patent preparations and soothing
syrups with which crying babies are
made to Sleep in order to insure father
and mother a nights rest. These are
paving direct ways to little coffins
A word of warning from the health
department comprises the following
don'ts:
Don't give child medicine of any

ENTHUSIASM A MENTAL TONIC

An important adjunct to good health
is the mental training of the home.
Sluggish, lazy, stupid, thoughtless peo-
pie rarely have good health. Enthu-
siasm is mental attribute which is
a continual tonic to the body. No man
or woman can be enthusiastic with
out some degree of mental training
Those who do little or no reading ex
cept to pore over a novel or lazily scan
the daily paper, such persons Will
sooner or later become the victims of
ennui, melancholia and perhaps hypo-
chondria. There is nothing in life to
enthuse them. Wearily they drag
themselves along with no interest.
There is nothing in the sky to interest
them. They know nothing about the
atmosphere by which they are sur
rounded. Clouds do not interest them.
The forests have no secrets to reveal
to them. The earth under their feet
is simply a place to stand on. Neither
bees nor birds excite their curiosity
The whole vast procession of the phe
nomena of the universe goes on around
them without once breaking i'll upon
the monotony of their mental life.
They get up in the morning, eat
breakfast, go about their daily task
eat dinner take up their task again,
eat supper, lounge around a while, go
to bed, only to get up and repeat the
same thing the next day. Sunday may
possibly make a slight break in their
routine. Not much, however. If they
go to church they neither understand
the sermon nor observe the coming and
going of the audience.
Such persons live in fine homes
Their surrounding may be sanitary;
their daily exercise sufficient; their
food we'll selected, but the very list
nessness of the mental life renders all
