RADICAL CHANGES IN
PRIMARY LAW
Would Name New Date-Make Judic-
larry Non Partisan and Mako 9th
en- Important Changes.

The main features of a bill amend
ing primary law to be introduced in
the legislature are as follows;
/ Compels every elector to vote his
own party ticket in the primary, I'M
der oath If necessary.
/ Changes the date of primary from
last Tuesday in July to first Tues
day in September.
Provides for the nonpartisan NOM
nation of all candidates for judicial
positions; also for nonpartisan cleo
ton of judges.
Precinct committeeman of various
parties to be members of county
central committee.
Prevents any voter, after participat-
ing in a primary election, from put
ting up sore head candidates
against those regularly nominated.
Names of candidates put up by pc
tition must appear in but one col
umn on the official ballot, and then
without party designation of any
kind
Candidates who receive upwardd of
so per cent of the first choice xotes
at primary election are declared
elected.
The bill is Republican measure
and it is charged by those in favor
of its passage that the Democrats
have fallen into the habit of voting
in the Republican PRIMARIES to bring
about the nomination Of weak candi-
dates or to stir up discord in order
that they may profit thereby in the
election in the fall. 1t is also adj
mitted on all sides that the Republi-
cans of Lincoln county went over in
body to the Democrats in order to
advance the cause of county division.
This is the evil that the Republicans
are most anxious to remedy. Two
years ago bill passed both houses
to compel the registration of the
pol itics of every voter at the pri-
maries but was vetoed by Governor
Hawley. This bill will be introduced
in few days.

RETRENcHMEnT.

There is a general indication all
over the nation that the American
people, cognizant of the fact that we
have been going too fast are going
to insist in retrenchment along
many lines. This disposition for re-
treHchment which was quite evident
in this state during the primary and
general elections was given a greater
impetus by Governor Haines' maiden
message to the legislature. The move
ment which at first seemed to ex-
ist only here and there and principal
ly among the farmers has grown to
be of statewide proportions and is
affecting all classes of people, farm
er, business and professional men
are all insistent that we have been
gonig too fast and must have econ
omy and a reduction of taxes.
We agree heartily with the gener-
al feeling that too much money has
been spent Also that there are
many places where economy can be
practiced without detriment and to
great advantage. Good business man
agement OF the affairs Of the individ-
ual, the municipality, the county. the
state and the nation are commercially
at all times, but following period
OF unprecedented prosperity and actiy
ity, a general retrenchment along
all lines is apt to have dts effect
upon business conditions and If car

CRATER0F SULPHUR
Over 100000 Tons Esti-
mated Accumulation at Top
of Mt. PopocatepetI.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 25.-The British
syndicate headed by DR.. F. S. Pearson,
of London and New York. which owns
the electric traction system here, is
going ahead with its plans for a rail-
way to the summit of Popocatepetl
volcano, sixty miles distant from the
Mexican capital. While il is proposed
to establish a pleasure resort on the
top of the mountain, the chief pur-
pose is to. take out the million of tons
of sulphur that has accumulated in the
crater. The syndicate has obtained
control of Popocatepetl from Gen. Cas-
per Sanchez Ochoa. 1t is 1900 feet to
the summit 8,
A few years ago commission of min
ing experts appointed by the Mexican
government, investigated the sulphur
deposit contained in the crater. and re-
ported that not only is the deposit the
largest in the world, but that 1t is
absolutely pure. The quantity was es-
tipated at 14S,oO0,00O tons, within
depth of 500 feet. AS the annual in
crease is about !. $4,000 tons. the amount
there now Is. of course, much greater
than the original estimate. The average
price of sulphur is so gold a ton. 1t is
said that the crater sulphur can be
profitably sod at $40.
The mining of sulphur in the crater
of Popocatepetl has been carried on in
termittently for 400 years-ever since
have been brought out on the backs of
Mexicans.
The daring of some of these native
sulphur miners is remarkable. They do
not hesitate to go to the very rim of
the hole which comes UP through the
ncrusted deposit of sulphur. and which
leads far down to the ever-Seething
cauldron of the volcano. The crater is
about 1000 feet in diameter. In most
places the walls of the crater are per-
pendicular The descent from the rim
of the crater to the top of the sulphur
deposit is a sheer>580 feet. The natives
reach the deposit by means of rope-lad-
ders The temperature in the crater is
comfortably warm. On the outside an
area of snow and ice extends far down
the side of the mountain.
1t requires endurance and nerve for
q tourist to make the ascent of Pope
catepet, A few American women have
made it, The first point Of the journey
is made on burros. but the worst part
of 1t must be made on foot.
1t has been more than a hundred
years since Popocatepetl ("Smoking
Mountain") had a violent eruption. 1t
still elects gases from the orifice that
leads down into its burning pit, but this
little evidence that it is still alive Is
lightly regarded by those who would
despoil the crater of its sulphur treas
ure.

BEGINS This WEEK
Senator Owen and Others to
Begin Fray Over Measure.
Effect Far-Reaching.


With Senator Owen, chairman of the
Senate Banking and Currency Commit,
tee; Senator Hitchcock, and Others
making the initial speeches on the cur
rency question in the Senate this week,
the battle over financial legislation in
the upper house of Congress will be
fairly on. ~.
rency debate will prove to be one of the
greatest debates in the recent history
of the Senate. 1t is likely to be looked
back upon as one of the most note
worthy discussions ever carried on IN
that body. ... ..-...-..- ..
1t is impossible to predict with any
certainty today, either when the Senate
will pass a bill or what sort of bill
il will pass or what sort of measure
will be finally enacted. All the indica-
sions are that the debate will be pro-
Ionged. 1t will be February, in all like
Iihoed, before there is legislation, and
March may come before the struggle
over currency is ended.
Effect of Struggle.
That the struggle in the Senate
which is beginning this week will not
ehu The OfSI
coming more and more obvious. The
Senate will pass a bill which will be
greatly changed from The House bill.
That much is certainty. The House
is not expected to accept the Senate
bill, especially in view of the fact
that Chairman Glass of the House
Banking and Currency Committee has
made numerous speeches which have
put him on record emphatically as
believing the bill that passed the
House is a most admirable measure
For hinl quietly to swallow greatly
modified measure would put him in
an absurd position, and he will have
10 make a. fight for his bill. Prob
abilities are, however, that if the
President should direct him to accept
the Senate bill he would do SO, as
he has followed the White House
wishes as to currency from Lhe be-
ginning.
General belief is that after the Senate
passes the bin there win be sharp and,
perhaps, prolonged struggle in the con-
ference committee of the two houses.
Then. President. Wilson will be able to
shape the bill about as he pleases For
this reason, the White House looks with
good deal Of cornplacerce On the nu-
merous changes which are being made

rorable for getting almost any measure
which may come out of conference

Largely Formality.
The beginning of the ,Iebate this weeii
is largely a fornality. This is the clos
ing week of the special session and Sen
ators are not in a mod to get down TO
business until Thanksgiving turkey has
been eaten and the regular session has
been opened. At the outset of the reg
ular session, the Hetch Hetchy bill will
have 70 lie disposed of, under a iInani-
nous consent agreement, and the Alas
ka bill will have to be taken up. Those
two bills will hold the boards until De-
cember at least. AS the oliday re-
cess will begin about December 20. it is
plain there is TO show of passing the
bill before the holidays.
What Will be the real issue. in the
Senate considerable of the bill? Stripped
of non-essentials, it will be whether
the new banking system is TO be publicly
owned and publicly controlled or
whether it is to be bank-owned and
bank-controIled. The bill which Sen-
ator Hitchcock and the Republicans Of
the committee have reported provides
for a system in which the public is to
own the reserve banking system and the
public is to have entire say as to its
management. The bill which Senator
Owen and the Administration Senators
Rave reported provides primarily for a
system with the banks in
control of ii to the extent they can eX-
ert control through possession of the
power to choose the majority of the
directors of the reserve banks.
Ownership of Stock.
And while the banks are to be given
the first opportunity to subscribe for
the stock of the reserve banking system,
the public will be given az opportunity
to take 1t IL the banks do not want il.
1t is a fact not generally understood
that the bill reported by the Admins
tration Senators gives the banks much
more power of control and domination
thar the bill reported by senator Hitch
cock and the five Republican Senators.
This phase OF the controversy is going
to be thoroughly aired before the de-
bate is over.
