One of these radical changes which
sometimes change up the cherished
traditions of years will be brought
about by the emphatic adoption of
the amendment initiated by Atty.
Gen. Norwood limiting the Legisla-
tive session to 60 days This will
apply to the session of 1913, and
the members must begin at once to
study plans for restricting the ses-
sion to that time and transacting
all necessary business. They are TO
receive pay for only GO days, after
which they must serve without COM
pensatjon. 1t is opined there are
few patriots willing to stay many
days without pay.

The Recent State Election.

LITTLE Rock, OCT 2nd, 1912.
Three weeks after the election was
held the complete returns are avail
able. Five counties, Pulaski, st.
Francis, Craighead, Arkansas and
Poinsett, were held up until the last
week before the returns were filed
with the Secretary of State. Now
that all the returns have been tabu-
lated, it is interesting to make some
comparisons.
In 1912 the total vote cast for
governor was 169,610, as compared
with a total Of 150,978 in 1910, an
increase of a little more than IA per
cent. Two years ago the vote for
governor was distributed as fol-
lows; Donaghey dem } l0l ,612;
Roland (Rep.) $3.50; Hogan
(Soc,) } 9,196 In the recent election
it was distributed as follows Rob-
inson (Dem. 109,S26; Roland (Rcp, }
46, 400; Mikel (Soc.) 1884 The
Republicans regained and slightly
passed their vote of 1909, when
Judge Worthington received 45,4O9
votes. The actual Democrat gain i'll
the two years was SPA, a gain OF
nearly 9 per cent, The Republicans
gained $3.50, or 16 per cent, The
Socialist gain amounted to 4,lsS,
or 45 per cent.

progressive. 1t favors corrupt

ample-is not progressive, and is OPP
posed to the kind of legislation that
the Review would make you believe
Clagstone stands for.
And for fear the dear people of La

No Irrigation.

There is no irrigation in Latah coun-
ty. North Idaho is blessed with am
pie rain fall, that is distributed through
the year at times when most needed
to mature crops. Latah county
around Moscow, usually gets about 25
inches of rainfall. There is generally
a god rain late in May and again in
June, and such thing as a crop fail
ure has never been known
Latah county soil is black loan,
urderlaid with heavy clay sub-soil,
that holds the moisture where it is
taken up by plant and vegetable life
when needed during the dry periods.
