Again he seemed to feel the lash
upon his tawny skin.

Suddenly Samson wheeled about

she cried, with something like con.

looked from Fran to the immovable

mounted to his place, and seemed to
fall asleep.
And now, at last, Fran looked at the
spectators. Stepping lightly to the

that, smiling radiantly. OH" she
cried, with vibrating earnestness,

shouted. burying her hands In the
name, and lying along the lions back
in true cowboy fashion. She plunged,
she shouted loudly, but Samson only
closed his eyes and seemed to sleep.
After that, making the lions return
to their cramped side cages was a
mere detail. The show was ended.

whispered fercely. That's my daugh-

Grace stared after him with blood

Clearly she decided, the sight OF
Fran's fearful danger had unbalanced
his mind. But how could he care so
much about that Fran? And how
could he leave her, knowing that Rob

But it was not the sight of Fran's
danger that had for ever alienated

 Colorado was confronted with a somewhat similar situation as now cOnfrOnts the legislature of the state of Arizona. Only in the state of Colo rado the question tine legislature had to consider was not the establishment of roads, or public buildings. but the funding of a large debt which techni- cally was an invalid debt because it exceeded the constitutional limitation. They met the situation by submitting to the people a constitutional amend ment providing for q specific bond is sue, for a specific purpose and providing
 the manner and method for the sale of
 said bonds and the interest they should
 bear, and the time of their payment.
 Said act will be found in the session
 laws of Colorado. 1909, on page 3l5.
 The constitutional amendment was
 adopted and was attacked in the courts
 and was by the supreme court of the
 state of Colorado. upheld upon the
 grounds that the people had right to
 amend the constitution in any manner
 they might see fit and by providing for a specific issue of bonds, practically abrogating the constitutional limitation provision existing in the constitution. This case VII be found reported the 124 Pacific. page 176.
 If the legislature does not deem it advisable to propose d constitutional amendment which shall provide for a specific issue of bonds. I must still contend that it would he wise to at 1 least propose d constitutional amend ment to the people giving them the power to authorize the issuance of bonds for certain and different inn proVements on the submission of the question to them for a vote. If this is not done. the people Of the state will sometime find themselves confronted with an emergency that calls for the 1 borrowing of money by the state and | find they are helpless in view of the ! constitutional limitation now existing

1t is a universally-conceded fact
that the most potential factor in the
reduction Of the high cost of living
lies In the EXTENSIVE development Of
the country's unutilized agricultural
resources. There are many thousands
of acres of arabic land still lying
fallow, the cultivation of which would
by increasing the supply of food pro-
ducts, naturally make the necessar-.
les OF life more abundant and conse-
quently less dear. If, however, by the

Two Killing Frosts.

When the killing frosts brought
heavy losses to the California citrus
growers they found consolation In The
prospect Of better times this year,
when through good prices they could
recoup in some measure. But it seems
that they are not to have any such
compensation. In the new Tariff bill
the duties on oranges and lemons
are. to be ruthlessly slashed. and IL
will be the growers OF Sicily and
other citrus countries who will profit
by California's misfortune. For the
domestic growers another killing
frost Is at hand-the frost of Free

The Florida Citrus growers will

patriotically voted to make less, or
nothing, from their industry that the

The Floridans should brace up and
take a dose of their own medicine

down to brass tacks and save them
selves, If destruction Is threatened!
The present Tariff does not rep

Let them save their energies to as
sault this problem. If they will they
probably can so reduce the distri-

Then they can continue to bunch
