seized it and was off for the goal,

the goal line in the strong arms of
White for as afety and the deciding
score of the game.
Two weeks later Yale. in the first
ten minutes of play, was driving
Princeton to the goal line with a
bewildering shift play. Suddenly,
on pass from center. the ball

In response to an inquiry brief
definition of initiative and the ref
erendum is herewith given: The ini-
tiative is the power conferred upon
the people by statute or reserved to
themselves by constitution to enact
laws independently of the legislative
body In Oregon and half dozen
other states petition by small per
cent of the voters, perhaps ten to flf-
teen per cent, causes proposed law
to be submitted to the people for their
adoption or rejection. If a majority
vote for the measure it becomes a
law forthwith and without any action
by the Legislature. Likewise city or
dinances may be proposed and en-
acted. The referendum gives to the
people the power after a proper petit
|tion has been presented to vote on any
law which the legislature may pass.
The petition must be presented with
in a reasonable time after the legis-
iature has adjourned. If majority

IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

THE TIMES last night carried
three stories of the activities of the
various improvement associations in
various sections of Hammond. While
the north siders were figuring on =
deep sewer, the south siders were
planning vast street improvements
and the East State street business
men were planning a meeting for the
purpose of working out the problems
that confront them.
The effect of these varied activi-
ties on the development of the city
can not be overestimated- The
theory of their organization is the
correct one.
1t is this; that no central organi-
zation can give every section of the
city the full consideration that that
particular section deserves. The
various improvement associations
have their own peculiar problems
which they must solve for themselves
and their recommendations should be
taken by the city officials wherever
they do not come in conflict with the
interests of any other section of the
city.
Later on when the people of Ham
mond awaken to the realization OF
the necessity for having live COM
mercial club and supporting it as
they should the Improvement asso-
Citations should not be overlooked.
Each of them should have dele.
gate representation in the board Of
directors of the commercial club. II
that way such an organization will
come closer to determining the rea
needs of the city than it possibl,
could in any other manner.
If RobertsdaIe citizens and Soutf
Holman street business men or
ganized associations there would no
| be a section OF the city that wouls
not be represented by a live booste
organization.
