WILL DISCUSS THE
INITIATIVE MEASURES

A meeting was called klast Friday
evening at the court house and an or
ganization formed to discuss the num-
erous initiative measures that will be
sumbitted to the voters at the Novem-
ber election. Charlie Davidson was
elected chairman and w. E. Hanson,
secretary. Bylaws were submitted and
adopted, and il is proposed to hold
meetings at the court house every Fri.
day evening until election. One OF
more of the bills will be taken up al
each meeting, according to their i'm.
portance, and the tax measures will
probably be left until the last.
At the first meeting woman suffrage
was brought up, but the discussion
was very much one-sided, there beinl
no one present who cared to take u
the negative side.
