TWIN SISTERS OF Reform.

1t is likely that the country will have to
wait considerable time before the con-
stitutionality of such modern panaceas as
the initiative and referendum can be de-
cided by the United States Supreme Court
On an appeal taken by the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company, an
Oregon corporation, the legality of the twin
sisters of reform is now before the Supreme
Court, and decision was expected at the
present term. There have been so many
other important questions before the court,
however, that the initiative and referen-
dunn will have to wait for action later
The Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company raised the objection that
law, adopted in Oregon recently by the
initiative and referendum method, under
which all telephone and telegraph compa-
MES are to pay a license tax of 2 per cent.
per annum on gross receipts is unconstitu-
tional. In addition to the alleged viola
ton of the Oregon constitution itself. it is
commended that any law. of any kind,
adopted by the initiative and referendum
method is in violation Of that clause in the
Federal Constitution which guarantees a
republican form of government in each of
the States.
A decision by the United States Supreme
Court will serve as an index to the country
as to just how far we are to 60 in separa-
ting our present system of government
from the bulwark of strength that is in the
Constitution as framed by our forefathers
1t is well that the initiative and referen-
dunn are to be interpreted in their relations
to the Constitution.

ployes The fire took place in the three
upper stories of a ten-story building and
these were consumed in an hour; in a
half hour the fire had done its work; pro-
badly the death list was full in twenty
minutes. These lives were lost because of
the inadequacy Of means for them to get
out Of the burning building alive.
Seven hundred hands, 500 of them wo-

fammable dust.

explosion. Operators died in their chairs,
their lungs scared by inhaling flame
Others were crowded into the elevator
shafts after the cars had made their last
trip. Still Others were pushed off the in
adequate interior fire-escape.
In such horrible stream did the bodies
overflow from the windows that the fire
nets, stretched by the first companies to
arrive, were soon gorged beyond capacity.
Twelve bodies weighted one net TO the
bursting point, but the bodies kept on
tumbling to the pavement through meshes
that could no longer support them.

searchlights from buildings opposite lighted

were found on the ninth floor. They lay
in every posture, some so charred that
recognition was impossible. A half dozen
