New Law Would Aid Farmers.

Meeker-Should the bill now pend
ing before Congress. providing for the
reduction from five years to three Of
the time required by the government
in whivh to prove up on homestead fill
ings, become law, its benefit to this
section will be untold. All over the
Western slope are dry farmers with
large families-poor men without a
dollar except what they earn during
the six months vacation previously
granted them out of each year-who,
after the five years continual resi-
dence clause went into effect, were
able to retain their holdings only with
the greatest difficulty, and in a Ium-
ber of instances, suffered want and
privation. Each of these men, under
this new ruling, will be able to take
enough time from his own place to
earn money during the busy season to
carry his family through the rest OF
the year, and also help materially in
making improvements on the home
ranch. The new ruling will also in
duce many prospective settlers to take
up land who had been frightened by
the stringency of the measure now in
operation.

DECISION OF COURT.
western Newspaper Union New. service.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Weshington.-Only Congress and
not the Supreme Court of the United
States may object to the initiative
and referendum method of legislation
in the states, so the court decided.
That tribunal held that the question
of whether state still maintained a
republican form Of government guar
antccd by the federal constitution
after it adopted the Initiative and ref
erendum, was a problem for Congress
and not judicial one for the courts.
The decision was based on the claim
OF the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph Company that tax upon
1t, imposed by the initiative and refer
endum method in Oregon. was uncon-
stitutional. The initiative and refer
endum provisions in Missouri, Cali
forhia, Arkansas, Colorado, South Da-
kota, Utah. Montana, Oklahoma, Maine
and Arizona, hung in the balance.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision OF the court. None Of the
justices disscnted. The court gave a
similar decision In fererence to an
ordinance in Portland. Ore, for the
construction Of bridge.
The chief justice said that "a sin
gulnr misapprehension" had existed
on both sides of the case. but that
the ''mists and confusion" were dis
PEELED by the decision of Chief Justice
Tahey years ago. in which he disposed
OF the DORIS rebellion question.
That was the case of Luther VS.. Bor-
den. he said. and decided that the en-
forcement of the guarantee of a Re-
publican form of government to the
states belonged to the political de-
partment of the government. and
came up, for instance, on the admis-
sion of senators and members of the
House to their respective bodies.
