INITIATIVE UP ID
 SUPREME COURT Constitutionality Forms the Basis of the Pend
 ing Suit

Washington, September 24-The initia- tive and referendum will be discussed by the supreme court of the United States during the approaching term. The ques- ton of the constitutionality of the tx pedients of government forms the basis of d suit between the state of Oregon, whore they are in use, and the Pacicfic States Telephone and Telegraph company.
 As the case is near the head of the docket it will be reached in time to in sure a decision before the end of the term. The case originated in the com pany's challenge of a law enacted by the Oregon legislature under the initiative plan by which a tax of per cent was placed upon the gross earnings of tele- graph and telephone companies.
 Taking the position that the initiative and referendum, which are coupled in the Oregon law, are persistent with the re- publican form of government guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. the company refused for four years to pay the assessments. The state brought suit thereupon.
 A fight to the finish in the trial court resulted, but the decision was favorable to the law. like conclusion was reached by the supreme court of the state and the company, still dissatisfied. carried the case on a writ of error TO the highest tribunal
 Attention is already being given to the case, owing to it's importance. As the constitutonality of the law is squarey pre- sented. it will become incumbent upon the court to deal primarily with the fundamental principles involved in a sys- tenn which is coming Into vogue in many states.
 It is estimated that S,00e.000 or 90000 0o0 persons will be affected by the result In addition to Oregon the states of Col ore do, Montana. South Dakota, Missouri. Oklahcma Arkansas and Maine, and the i pI ospective state of Arizona likewise now possess constitutional provisions for the | initiative and referendum. while the states of California, Washington and i Wyoming are preparing to vote OH amendments authorizing such features i, Nevada has the initiative and Is expected soon to add the referendum.
 If not long delayed the decision of the court will meet demand of Congress where the question involved will receive much attention during the coming ses- sion.

 It continues hot throughout the southern half of the country, particu- larly in the west gulf and southern Rocky mountain states. where readings above 90 occurred today. Readings not much below 90 degrees were very pre- valent in the east gulf states, and 1t was warm for the season in nearly all southern districts.

SOME FARMERSA ARE = NOT FREE SELLERS The Cotton Market Will Be Ruled By Spot Cotton
 Conditions

New Orleans, September 24.--The cotton market this week will probably be ruled .6y conditions governing spot cotton. Ii # offerings continue as free as they have
 been. and the demand does not improve the advantage will be wholly with the short side in the future market.
 The movement promises to increase and il now looks as if the into sight for rbis week will be over 100000 bales. Such sts tstics will have the effect of strength enlng the position that spinners have taken, which is to buy only to supply their current needs.
 At the close of last week farmers in some sections were not free sellers. The belief among the bears, however, Is that any fresh declines this week will cause holders to let go more freely. The wealth CT will not be a factor of the highest Importance, because so much cotton has been picked and stored in the seed that gins would be able to run for some time to come even if picking should cease IS the result of rains. Wet weather would result in injury to the grade of open cot ton and would be a bullish influence, but would not be taken into general con sloerdtloh as long as the hloNehieht uld not drop off
 The market Is now approaching a pe- rlod of reports. On Monday the census bureau will issue a report on supply and distribution of cotton up to August 31. This ought to contain bullisn statistics, bot they will not probably have any ef- feet on prices.
 The second period of the ginning report scheduled by the bureau is now ended. .Monday is the date to which the last con dtion report of the season by the de- partment of agriculture will carry the crop. Both of these reports will be is- sued a week from Monday. This week ~jl see several important private fore
