3. Direct legislation. or the initiative
and referendum, whereby a ason
able percentage of the people may, by
petition. compel the submission to
popular vote of a proposed law.
4. The recall of judges or of judicial
decisions, whereby the power will be
taken from the courts Of setting aside
as unconstitutional popular laws, such
as employers liability laws, laws linn
tting the hours of labor for

On tho tariff we declare for the
principle of protection, limited to the
difference in the cost of production
here and abroad, to be ascertained by
a permanent non-partisan tariff COM
mission with the fullest power of in
yestigation. We declare hat no tar
iff is justified unless it's effects reach
the a envelope of the worker in
higher wages.
We propose to handle the trusts by
the creation of a new Industrial COM
mission. somewhat on the lines of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
with the widest powers Of investiga-
ticn, supervision and regulation. This
commission will have power to inves-
tigate the securities, the values of the
property and the trade conditions of
every great trust, and the power to
put a stop to further watered stock
and to all unfair methods of COMPETE
ton; and IL such investigation shall
show these trusts to be built upon
privilege we will abolish the privilege.
We also propose to attack directly
some of the most obvious evils OF
modern industrial life. We will for
bid the work of women and children
i'll factories at night and limit the
hours in which they a be com
PEELED to work during the day. We
stand for a minimum wage for wom-
en-, below which employers can
not take advantage of their necessity
to drive down wages, We stand for
the eight-hour day in continuous en-
ployment. We stand also for Civ
ing the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power to value the physical
property of railroads, for the par
cells post and for the income and in
heritance tax on great fortunes.
We stand for a program in Alaska
where we can try the experiment If
various radical proposals, difficult or
impossible to try out in the rest of
the country, such as government own
ership of railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines, government leasing
OF coal and mineral lands, etc. In
this way we can gain vital expe-
rience for use in the remainder of the
country in due time, when we are
sure of our ground.
Here is a program that is an honest
attempt to grapple with new condi-
lions. 1t offers hope to the worker.
1t assures the obtaining of the in
formation by which alone we can
hope TO solve the industrial problem.
Upon this program the Progressive
party asks and deserves the support
of the people.

The Franchise Question.

Wednesday. the voters of Canton
voted upon the question whether or
not vhe citizens of Canton would ac-
cept the franchise submitted by the
Sioux Valley Power Co., and the peo-
Pile voted that it should be accepted
and by a large majority.
Canton has for sometime been up
against a hard proposition on the
light question and those knowing the
conditions, past and present cannot
help but see the ad vantages the
Sioux Valley Power Company set out
and the election Wednesday shows
that the people Of our city are really
trying to pull out of a rut, not wait
ing for the chosen few to take their
own sweet time in going ahead
The Sioux Valley Power Co., will
build a dam and will give night and
day service, because they are held up
to their franchise. The statements
made by a few of those who have
helped hold Canton back the last ten
years, saying that there would be no
dam built and that the City Commits
sioners were giving away everything
and getting nothing in return sounds
absurd, and they have no logical rea-
son in the world for taking that
stand, only that Canton Should be
held down and let her sister towns go
to the front. 1t is hard to believe
that any man in Canton would vote
against a franchise that gives them
night and day service as we'll as pow
er for IL cents a X. W. H. with a slid
ing scale to be arranged 10y the Com
pany. Their one argument of the
franchise, not saying when the dam
shall be built is poor logic, the Sioux
Valley Power Co., is not paying En-
gineers and mel and buying land for
overflow, if not immediate work on the
dam was intended, nor are they going
to install power to run night and day
service when they al get it from a
river by putting in a dam.
Howlers will howl even though they
howl alone and they are very few in
Canton at the present time, and even
a few howl for personal reasons, not
because they believe the franchise is
not good for Canton but because they
are childish enough to vote against a
good thing for the city because they
don't like a member or members of
the Company.
1t is up to the citizens of Canton to
show their just appreciation for the
efforts the Sioux Valley Power Com
pany has put forth to give the people
OF Canton a real value for their money.
The following Is the way the differ
ent wards voted.
