iowa REFERENDUM
MAY FAIL in UNIONS
PROMINENT UNIONS OF CEDAR
RAPIDS PROTEST AGAINST
REFERENDUM PLAN OF
ELECTING OFFICERS.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 4.-According to
the local labor paper, The Tribune.
the referendum vote now being taken
by the Iowa State Federation of La
Dor, to determine whether or not the
officers of that body shall be elected
in the future by referendum vote, will
prove unsuccessful, If the position
taken by Cedar Rapids unionists APP
plies in other portions of the state.
The Typographical union of this
city has gone on record al being una
nimously opposed to the referendum
system Of electing officers of the state
federation, the printers taking the
position that in a mixed craft organi~
cation, with no general means of pub
licity whereby the merits of the var
ious candidates for responsible posi-
lions can be brought before the MEM
bership, men would naturally register
their votes in favor Of those of their
craft.
The editor of The Tribune states
that a great many unions in Cedar
Rapids have reported the result of
the vote to The Tribune, and that in
each instance the vote has been prac-
tically unanimous against the cleo
ton of the officers of the state feder-
alton by referendum.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST

/ court Justices to ten This
amendment has been discussed CON
| siderabiy lately, particularly because
of the agitation bearing upon the re-
cali Of judges.
Will Affect Terms of Three.
Should the amendment be adopted,
it would have an interesting effect
upon the terms of two of the present
supreme court justices, and the term
of the justice who will be elected next
Tuesday.
Two years ago three justices were
elected, and the amendment provides
that the highest candidate in that
election, in the event that the in
crease is voted upon favorably, shall
have a-ten years term, while the sec
ond candidate shall be considered
elected for eight years. Justice FISK
was the high candidate, with Justice
Burke second. -.
In the election next Tuesday, JUS
tice Andrew Bruce. appointed recently
as the successor Of Justice MORGAN
and A. Robinson, are candidates. p
term of the successful candidate will
be either six or ten years, dependent
upon the fate of the amendment.
Amend Land Law.
The third constitutional amendment
resolution to be voted on PROVIDES Ior
a change in the method Of selling
lands to railroads by the state school
board, when such lands are to be used
for right of way purposes.
Under the general law, payment is
provided for in five different pay
ments. One-fifth is to be paid in cash,
and the remainder in four equal pay
ments. The new provisions make 1t
possible for railroads to secure clear
title Immediately by the payment Of
the full principal and interest at the
time the deal is made.

'GLEEBURN And
|. The CHURCHES
QUESTION OF AFFILIATIoN Is
BEING GIVEN SERIOUS AT
TENTION AT PRESENT.

Glenburn, N. D., Nov. 4.-Protestant
church goers in Glenburn are again
face to face with the question of how
many churches they care to support
In this town? At the present time
there is not a resident minister here
and 1t seems that the head officials of
the. Methodist, Presbyterian and Bap-
fist churches are at this time anxious
to arrive at some understanding as to
which n of them shall occupy the
Glenburn field. They realize it is a
waste OF talent and honey for all
three churches to cover this field, but
until the citizens express a wish
as to which church the majority pre-
fers 1t is impossible for the Off
Gals Of the various churches to
come to an understanding. For in
stance, If the Methodist and Baptist
pull out it might not be as satisfactory
as If n of them remained and the
Presbyterians and me of the others
dropped out. 1t is realized that
it is asking considerable of a staunch
Methodist to drop the work of hat
church and TAX up the work of the
Presbyterian church, or vice versa, but
that is what must be done if there is
to be a good church in Glenburn.
There are not enough church workers
Of any protestant denomination in
Glenburn to maintain an active or
ganization, and therefore a spirit OF
christian cooperation must be put
forth or else the community will con-
tinue to be indifferent to church
work. This is not right. A place of
worship is needed and all should get
together and make at least one pro
testant church a success in Glenburn.
Rev. Mr.. Morrison was here Sunday
and at a meeting at the Presbyterian
church that evening stated that he
was willing to back the work in Glen
burn with a first class man or If it
was the wish of the people that the
Methodist or Baptist continue here,
he was willing to pull out. He said
he expected to be here again, and at
that time desires to get an expression
from the people as to which church
the town wants to support. go.

HANNA Strong
ON The SLOPE

Beach, N. D., Nov. 4.-As election
day draws near it is very evident that
Beach and Golden Valley county will
line up strong for the republican
ticket. Congressman Hanna will carry
Golden Valley and Billings county bv
nearly 1000 votes If the farmer vote
turns out. In Beach he is exception
ally strong, in the face of the fact that
there are many socialists hi demo-
Gratis here. In fact, many of the
democrats nave declared for Hanna
for governor, including three of the
prominent members Of the local dem
ocratic organizations who do not ap-
prove of Hellstrom's campaign tactics
nor his p~enitentiary record.
Taft is also gaining strength rapid
ly. Both business rae pand farmers
have decided the best way to prevent
the country from going democratic Is
to stand by the republican state and
national ticket and not aid in it's de-
feat by voting for the third term
party which has no chance of winning
nationally or locally.
Hanna will get a tremendous vote in
this section, and Taft will carry the

COMMUNICATION.
To the voters Of lac city Of Fargo

To the voters of the city Of Fargo:
In the present political campaign
the issues of the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall have been somewhat
overlooked. We therefore, lake this
means of making known the situation
which exists. The last legislature
passed four concurrent resolutions
provide for the initiative, referendum
and recall, Only one Of the four is
worthy of the name. The other three
are mere m~akebeliefs.
Inasmuch as the next legislature
will undoubtedly refer one of the four
resolutions passed in 1911 to a vote
of the people, it is important that
men should be elected who are in
favor of giving the people initiative
can use. If we are to have direct leg
.fslation, let us have it in such form
that it will be of service to us.
The measure to which we refer is
known as Chapter "a of the session
laws Of 1911. Mr.. Blakemore of this
city drew the original draft of the
bill and has worked earnestly in its
behalf. All the present candidates fol-
the House of Representatives have en-
dorsed ii, but with the Senate the
situation is different. Mr.. Porterfiele
lis the only candidate for the Senate
who has given a full and unqualified
reinforcement of the initiative and ref
erendum. Not only this, but he has
ligone on record as fayoring the REGAL
of all public officials. Those. there
fore, who are in favor of these re-
forms should cast their vote for Mr.
Porterfield.
In the last legislative session, Far

North; Dakota, as a state, may be-
come directly interested in the ter
minal elevator business If an amend
ment proposed to the constitution of
the state Is voted upon favorably by
the people of the state tomorrow.
This amendment, growing out Of
agitation launched several years ago
by the North Dakota Bankers asso-
citation, would give the legislature of
the state the power to build, lease
n operate terminal elevators in
either Minnesota or Wisconsin, or
both.
Several ear ago the North Dakota
bankers became interested in the ele-
vator business, and a commission that
was appointed by The organization
made a thorough study Of the con-
ditions found in Duluth. Minneapolis
n Superior. The report was to the
effect that. excess dockages were de-
manded, n that general conditions
surrounding the grading of grain, etc,
were unsatisfactory from the point
OF view of the North Dakota shipper.
Not Treated Fairly.
Out Of that report grew the agita-
tion for a state owned terminal ele-
vator-in fact the committee Of bank
ers recommended such an institution
and in the following legislative as
scmbly, a proposed amendment was
introduced and passed. The same
resolution was passed again two years
ago, and now comes to the voters OF
the state. If they vote in favor Of
it, the state legislature will be en-
powered to proceed with the construc-
ton and operation of such an elevator
as it proposed.
The terminal elevator question has
long been a thorn in the side of North
Dakota shippers, and they will urge
the. amendment. The American So
city of Equity of North Dakota is
also in favor of the amendment; in
fact. that society is itself engaged in
an effort to bring about the construc-
ton of a terminal elevator.

ment to the constitution which will
be voted upon next Tuesday is that Of
increasing the terms Of the supreme
