UNCLE SAM OPENS
BIDS FOR 100000
POUNDS OF BUTTER
Supply Will Be Used Aboard
Warships-Contracts Not
Awarded.

The Navy Department today opened
bids for 100000 pounds Of butter to be
used aboard the warshlps during the
coming year. Seven farms offered to
supply this quantity of butter. but the
award has not been made.
Under the system by which the navy
buys It's butter, the department obtains
its supply at n fixed figure above the
market price prevailing at the time the
butter is delivered to naval storage in
New York. The lowest bid today was
079S cents a pound above the prevailing
market price at time of call.
The highest bid was .0S5 above the
market price. This market price is dc.
termined by that quoted on the mercan.
tile exchange
The prices at which the navy buys
| butter are controlled by tho market
price, and not by the amount which
may be used.

Editors win Boost Their Bill.

Denver.-.The executive and cam
paign committees of the Colorado
State Editorial Association have out
lined vigorous campaign for the pur-
pose of securing the adoption of the
proposed law to reduce the cost OF
printing constitutional amendments
and initiated and referred bills. This
proposed law will appear on the ballot
in position seven In the list of bills
submitted for adoption or rejection.
1t reduces tho number of publications
from, in one newspaper for four con-
secutive weeks In each county, to one
publication In two papers of opposite
political faith in each sounty.
Tho campaign committee intends to
secure the cooperation of country
publishers In campaign Of education
among the readers Of the various pa
pers In the state, through advertise
ments and news stories In their pa.
pers and through personal work be-
fore election day.
When the direct legislation prin-
ciple was before the people for adop-
ton or rejection two years ago the ex.
trems cost of publishing the proposed
measures was one Of the principal ar
guments against the enactment Of
that principle into law. Under the
old plan wherein only constitutional
amendments submitted by the Legisla-
ture were advertised the cost was com.
paratively slight. Under the new plan
where all submitted Measures must be
advertised the cost was considerably
increased, but the editors, realizing
that this increase would act rs detri-
ment to the submission OF proposed
bills. have initiated proposed amend.
ment which they claim reduces the
cost to figure that cannot be reduced
through any other method of advertis.
