 Reapportionment of the states fourteen counties for members of the legislature-state senate and house of representatives.
 Holding ofstate- wide presiden tial primary at which delegates to national conventions shall be elected and choice named for pre- sident.
 Submission to the people ot the recall for the judiciary-one of the first acts of the legislature.
 Placing the names of candi- dates for United States senator on the official ballot at the ge. neral election preceding the cleo tion of a United States senator.
 Direct primary elections, to in clude the nomination of candi- dates for all elective state, coun- ty and city offices, and candidates for United States senate and re- presentative in congress.

 Penalties for violation of the initiative and referandum pro visions of the constitution.
 Forbidding the issuance of rail road passes to any office holder; corrupt practices act; forbldding of lobbying in either house.
 Sale of state lands or lease of such lands for terms not to ex- ceed five years. There are, invol- we'd 2,25O,OOO acres and there are hundreds ofbona fide settlers who must be protected.
 Approprlating for schools, pub lie institutions and public pur- poses in general until a succeed ing legislature meets.
 Interpretations and classified tion of cities and towns in pro- portien)to their population.
 Health and safety of under ground workers and appoint ment of mine inspector whose duties and powers are to be pre- Scribed.
 An employers liability law and workmans' compulsory compensation law.
 Appointment of state examiner, whose duties and powers are to be prescribed.
 Ranking first among the path finders measures of progressive. ism will be the enactment of d law providing for a state wide presidential primary, at which delegates will be elected to the national conventions and the choice for president will be named. The pla atform of democra cy pledges legislative candidates to provide for this prim ary. Re publican candidates are silent on this question.
 The presidential election will be held in November of next year; the national nominating conventions probably not later than June. So the legislature will have to get early action on the presidential primary. which will probably be held some time in May. Arizona will be the sixth state to provide presiden, tial primaries for delegates t. national conventions.

It straight to him. He glanced at 1t

was purely circumstantial; and she so
earnestly persisted in her theory, and

John, that she finally prevailed upon

Soon after the trial Of John Bar

to leave that neighborhood. Before do
ing SO, he called on Miss Heath and
talked to her most consolingly. But
Jane was suspicious. and his protested
solicitude caused her to believe his
declarations of sympathy and friend

sincerity. Jane made up her mind to

believed he held the key to the mys-
terry of Andy Barrows's disappearance.
Two years later-years in which
Jane Heath, though not inactive. had
accomplished practically nothing to-
ward the release of her lover-a young
soldier returned to northern Vermont

at once to bring Andy Barrows before
Miss Heath, and compel him to con-

USE FOR OLD SHADES
NEED NOT BE THROWN AWAY
WHEN WORN OUT.
Many Practical Ways In Which They
May Be utilIzed--ExceIIent for
Cutting Out Dress Pat

Housewives are telling us that the
roller shades Of today are fragile and

easily-a single snap or jar when set

Of the curtain itself Is little worn
and punctured It doesn't seem to pay.
The shade Is discard and the waste
fulness apparent.
But there are several practical uses
for window shades that are past ordi-
nary use-the cheap paper ones as
well as those of standard material.
The latter Is excellent for cutting
out dress patterns that you wish to
preserve against the ravages Of time
and constant handling.
Besides being strong and easily
rolled. It yields readily to the pressure
OF hot fiatirons. thus having the ad-
vantage over the fiimsy delicate tbs

offered for sale. When smoothed or
ironed out on dress goods for cutting,
1t stays put" and requires less pin

patterns, entirely out of the province
Of fads, are good for years when cut

There are few abrupt changes In
the styles of aprons, underwear, IN

thing stout and durable may save you
much shopping.
Holland window shade material also
makes excellent stencils for practical
use as well as for preserving the pat

on hand when the regular gelatin pa
