REFUSES TO REDE|vE PETITION

Joe Josephs yesterday attempted
to file his petitions for Clerk of
the Supreme Court with the
Secretary of State but the Secre-
tary refused to accept the same on
the ground that the office asked for
is one which the legislature had
combined with that of the secretary
of State and as a consequence no
name could be placed upon the
ticket unless the Office of Secretary
of State was combined with it.
The action of the Secretary of
States office was expected by Mr..
Joseph and it is expected that he
will at once take action to
mandamus the Secretary to COM
pei him to place the name upon
the ticket, his contention being
that the office of Clerk of the
Supreme Court is an office pro-
vided for by the constitution and
that it was beyond the power of
the Legislature to change it with
out amending the constitution.
The decision will be eagerly
watched by a number of the poll
ticians of the state and without
doubt there will be other petitions
filed for the office should the action
of the Supreme Court be such as
to warrant the action Carson

The Farmers.
L have travelled extensively among
the farmerS of many countries, but |
know of no place where they work
so hard for so little. This is an agri-
cultural nation. Two-thirds OF the
people rely upon farming as their
principal business, and this means
about 200, 900, 600. There are more
than 100, 000, 900 here who work in
the soil, and there are 10000, 900 men,
women and children who actually
farm. If every man, woman and
child in the United States should go
out in the fields every day to dig up
the land or harvest the crops, you
would lave h farming situation in
India. In addition, there are some
millions engaged in stock grazing and
two or three millions who take care
Of domestic animals of various Kinds.
The wages of these farmers are
low beyond American conception. The
employees are often paid in kind, set
ting, in some cases, their food and
a small percentage of the crop.
Where money is paid, the wages do
not average S2.25 per month, and
