TO BE VOTED UPON
THROUGH INITIATIVE
AND REFERENDUM

There are "a bills and constitu-
tional amendments to be voted on
at the coming election. The most
of them are good, a few doubtful
and some bad. The bulk of these
measures is regretable.
Six bills were passed by the leg
islature, and referred to the people
by the petition of interested par
ties:
l. A bill providing for mine
and smelling employees working
only eight hours.
2. A bill providing for the
transfer of thedepartment of brands
from the secretary of state to
state livestock inspector.
3. A bill providing that the
state officers shall turn over their
receipts to the treasurer daily in
stead of monthly.
4. A bill providing for the es-
tablishment of a summer school
for teachers, it's organization and
appropriation.
.. A bill providing that bitches
claiming seniority in water rights
have priority of flood water over
riparian owners desiring to i'm
pound flood waters.
8. A teachers bill relating to
the holding of examinations for
teachers and providing for the
awarding of certificates and the
qualifications of pedagogues.
George Creel says these bills
are all good.
Following are bills initiated by
various individuals and groups:
/ A state wide prohibition bill.
2. A search and seizure bill
which gives officers the right to
search any house and seize any
liquor unlawfully held.
The prohibition bill will attract
the most attention. Everyone adj
mits liquor drinking is curse to
the world. How to prevent it is
an open question. Where public
sentiment is strong in favor of
prohibition an ordinance or a law
can be largely enforced; where the
sentiment is against it the ordi-
dance or the law becomes a dead
letter.

nldahIs candidate for the peest
deney. He failed, however, and
two letters which he WROTE dur
Ing the campaign contributes
materially to hIs defeat. One
was called the "RsIeIoh letter"
because Il was written at Ra-
leigh, N. c., while he was "swlng-
ing round the circle" IL was
published In the National intel
Iiqencer, and among other things
II contained this sentence: "Tex-
as ought not TO be received
Into the Union, az an lnte-
qral part CO il, In decided
opposition to the wishes Of a
considerable and respectable
portion Of the confederaey." This
created a great hubbub In poiltl-
cal circles (which then includ-
ed almost everybody, so he
wrote another letter In expiana-
tlon. This Is called the "Als-
ban1a letter." because It was
first published In an Alabama
paper. In the course Of II he
said no would be glad to see
Texas annexed, II II could be
done without dlshonor, without
war, with the common consent
Of the Union, on Just and fair
terms" But the explanation was
no more satisfactory than the
original, for the hubbuh and dis
satisfaction were greater than
ever, and the great champion Of
compromise went down TO de-
feat.

CURIOUS BITS

A CITY CONQUERED BY
HUNGER.
BY A. w. MACY.

There are few sieces in his
tory more memorable than that
Of the little city of Ia Rochelle,
France. Here the Hueuenots
made their last Importan stand.
There were $4,000 inhabitants,
half Of them females and only
half tho males armed men. Yet
for fifteen months they held In
check the combined army and
feet OF Louis XIII. When they
chose Jean Gulton mayor at the
beginning of the siege, he said to
them: "You know not what you
do. In choosing me. Understand
me well, that With me there 10
no talk OF surrender. Whoever
breathes a word of II will kill
him." The city was reduced,
not by sudden assault, or fire,
or sword, or cannon, but by
slow famine. Everything was
eaten, even down to leather,
which was boiled. A cat sold
for 45 lIvres. Not until half the
population had perished from
hunger, and scarcely $50 Of the
garrison remained alive, did
the survivors consent to eurren-
der.

School Should Teach Farming.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 12.-"An agri-
cultural school or an experiment sta
tion should be established in the out
skirts of every large city in the Unit
ed States" declares R. j. Maclean. sec
retary of the Spokane chamber of COM
merce. He believes this would. in a
measure, solve the cost of high living
and would direct attention to the pro-
duction of basic resources. Continu-
ing he said:
Il do not agree with the president of
the Washington Educational associa-
tion when he says that more attention
should be devoted in the schools to
commercial lines. | believe we should
first devote our attention to education
in agriculture and mining. These are
the pursuits from which all wealth
emanates and ON which all other pur-
suits are dependent. Increase activity
in these lines and you, preforce, must
increase activity in commercial and
all other lines.
IF the schools teach agriculture, ag-
riculture will become more popular
We will then have more farmers, and
naturally NOR production and more
valuable resources.
"If | had my way about it there
would be an agricultural school or an
experiment station in the outskirts OF
every large city to educate young mer
in things pertaining to the farm. The
difficulty now is that the city mar
who wants to learn something of agri
culture must usually go long distance
away entailing great expense. In th'
cities there are thousands of people
who merely exc out an existence. How
much better they would be if they wer'
on farms.
THE country boy who comes to th'
city for the first time is very greer
with respect to city ways. But ther'
lis nothing greener than the city bo.
Ion farm for the first time. Our cit,
Ipeople do not know enough abou
farming. and if they knew more vi
would be able to solve, in a measure
the high living cost"

Drainage Conference.

Washington. d. c., Jan. II. - The
owners of wet lands are interested in
the fact that A. w. McKeand, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce of
Charleston, S. c., and formerly secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce, of
Oklahoma City, was in Washington to-
day, and after lengthy discussion
with Managing Director Dave, of the
Southern Commercial Congress, con-
sented to preside over drainage con-
ference in Nashville during the ses-
sions of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress, April $40. Mr.. McKeand and
members of the Charleston Chamber
of Commerce have put into operation
methods of draining and selling wet
| lands around Charleston.
This conference will include, as far
as possible, the owners of wet lands
in the south, engineers and state Off
cials. The questions before the con-
ference are as to whether the south
desires anything more than a federal
survey of wet lands, or whether the
south desires federal cooperation in
the expenditures necessary to reclaim
wet lands.
The special value of this conference
Ito all owners of wet lands rests upon
THE fact that the National Drainage
congress meets in New Orleans, April
I10-13. and it is essential that the atti
ltude and wishes of the southern states
ishould be clearly defined prior to the
National Drainage Congress. The
stake of the south in the whole subjec

Of swamp and overflow lands in thu
