New Law Would Aid Farmers.

Meeker.-Should the bill now pend

reduction from five years to three OF
the time required by the government
in whivh to prove up on homestead I'll
ings. become a law. It's benefit to this
section will be untold. All over the
Western slope are dry farmers with
large familics-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 num-
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.

That tribunal held that the question
OF whether n state s;ill maintained n
republican form OF government guar
antccd by the federal constitution

erendum. was n problem for Congress
and not n judicial one for the courts

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 disscntcd. 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.
gular Misrepresentation" had existed

sion of senators and members OF the
