Seattle Post -Intelligencer)

Miss Margaret Young. of Fairbanks,
Alaska saw her first street car IN
Seattle Monday. and also saw, for the
! first time, building higher than three
stories. Miss Young, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Young OF Fairbanks,
Is in Seattle for her first visit from
the north in fifteen years, to enter
school here.
| Temporarily bewildered by the rush
and hustle Of metropolitan Sity, Miss
Young has been an interested sight
seer since her arrival Monday. She
! has been taken about Seattle and It's
parks and boulevards by friends but
still thinks that 1t cannot compare to
Alaska. when you walk along the
streets and see thousands of people and
don't seem to know anyone, It's dis

faculty of making friends of grizzled
sourdoughs, rs well as chechacoes.
In Fairbanks she was one of the
most popular members of the younger
social set, and her departure from the
interior mining camp occasioned re-

PROFESSORP W. H. TAFT,
IN FIRST YALE LECTURE
Says Majority of People viii Never
Get the Ballot in United States
at its heigh

New Haven, Conn, May "A ma
jority of the people in the United
States will never be given the ballot,
said Professor William Howard Taft
in opening his lecture course on
Some Questions of Government"
He said when the Constitution was
adopted a century ago, only about
one in % of the 100000 people Of
the country, including women and
children, were given the ballot. The
number has been constantly extended
until today about one in six has a
vote.
Should tine electorate privilege be
extended by the admission of women
only about 80 cent would be given
the ballot, and it is not likely that j
majority Of the people will ever be
accorded it.

PINCHOT TELLS LESSONS
OF RECENT FLOODS
Former Chief Forester Writes
"The Country Gentleman.
Interesting Article in

hundreds of thousands of American
farmers.
Floods are not unforeseen. 1t is true
that the time when an individual fool
will happen cannot always be known;
hut increasing food damage is a cer-
tainty unless we take action against it.,
We know in advance that the flood
damage of the next ten years-unless
something real and effective is done
about twill amount to a needless
waste Of many hundreds of millions
Of dollars, just as we know in advance
that hundreds of thousands of people
will die needlessly of preventable dis
ease in the same time. We are trying
to stop disease; but we let the floods
alone.
One of the reasons wly floods will
continue to create great damage Is
that the deforestation of the coun>
try will permit them to rise higher
and higher Another, and often a
very important reason, is that the
drainage of farm lands let's the water
quickly into the streams. Another )
that many river channels are being
narrowed and encroached upon, espe-
cially in the cities, by dumps, leyees
and railroad entertainments and so are
less able to carry off the food. Sti'
another is that the number of farms
and the amount of property in the low
lands near the rivers and the railroads
grow greater year b. year.
Just as it is the last straw that
breaks the camel's back, so it is the
last foot or two on the crest of great
flood that is responsible for most ct
the damage 1t is altogether probable
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-05-10

From 1900 to 1908 the cost of floods
tc the people Of the United States was
more than a thousand million dollars.
The farmer paid the most of it, At in
tervals, it is true, great flood like the
recent catastrophe in Ohio Injuries or
wipes out towns or cities, but even
such a flood hurts the farmer first
and hardest and longest, while year
in and year out the man who suffers
most is the man whose lands lie
along the river bottoms and are sub
ject to damage not merely from the
occasional overwhelming food that
may come, but also from the more
numerous smaller ones
The farmers losses from floods are
chiefly unnecessary, for floods can be
reduced, or controlled To all who Nv,
upon the land flooded control means
not only the stoppage of loss and Of
the threat of more loss-often very
serious matter in its effect on land
.Yalues-but an enormous direct ad-
vantage also. We must remember that
one of the next necessary great steps
in agricultural development is to make
a wider use of mechanical power on
The farm, and the power the farmer
must use except in such work as plow-
ing, is mainly water power
Flood control and water power de-
velopment go hand in hand, for flood
control in a settled country is i'm
possible without water storage and you
cannot store water without creating

Five Democrats Cast Votes
Against Measure

Washington, D. c., May 9.-The I'm

democratic party as the answer to its
platform pledge to revise the tariff
downward, was passed by the house
late yesterday. The vote was 2Sl t.

Dill, and two republicans voting for
it. Four progressives supported the
bill and fourteen opposed it, While
one independent progressive Joined
with the majority.

on any law passed Dy the legislature,
except those providing for tax levies,
those making appropriations for cur
rent expenses, or emergency laws for
the immediate preservation of the
public peace, health or safety.
CONSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVE.
Constitutional amendments pre-
pared outside the Legislature may be
submitted on the petition Of six per
cent of the voters. To pass these a
sixty per cent vote is necessary. Or
binary laws are passed by a major
ity vote. The poor printer is not for
gotten. Referendum bills are to be
printed at length in pamphlet form,
together with the arguments for and
against the measure, and this PAM
phlet is to be sent to every voter in
the state. This will require with our
present population 100000 copies,
and if the pamphlet has, as in Ore
gon, two or three hundred pages, it
will be a very nice job. indeed to
print, and about as excising to read
as a Chinese dictionary. Initiative
and referendum powers are extended
in the bill to municipalities.
NO AMENDMENT PERMITTED.
Whether the bill is good one or
not, one thing is certain and that is
that their authors are very proud Of
it and regard it as reaching the high
water mark of craftsmanship. They
would tolerate no hint Of the posi-
bility Of it's amendment. Garfield
Brown wanted it fixed so that petit
ton peddlers would be put out of
business. He wanted the petitioners
left with certain county, township or
municipal officers whom he designat-
ed. Ex-Speaker Dunn thought that
instead Of five sponsors from a sin
gle locality, it would be better to
have fifteen, one from each congress
sional district and the rest at large.
Bob Dunn didn't want the people
pestered with special elections when
ever an insignificant fraction Of the
people thought they could get along
no longer without some new law, so
he moved to amend so that refer
endum could only be taken at a gen
eral election. But the majority
wouldn't have anv one fussing. Ev-
cry proposition was voted down and
the measure has passed the house in
all it's primeval beauty. What the
senate may do to it does not yet an
pear.
LICENSING THE SALE OF
CIGARETTES.
However it may be outside of the
Twin Cities, it is notorious that the
anti-cigarette law is a dead letter
here. It has therefore occurred to
Representative Green that so long as
cigarettes are sold quite openly the
state might as well make some mon
ey out Of them. He. therefore pro.
noses the repeal Of the anti cigarette
law, and that to take it's place there
shall be enacted law licensing the
sale Of cigarettes, the fee to be $50
a year. The bill is likely to pass.
would not predict so much for Rep
Reeds bill making it unlawful te
manufacture or sell snuff. That is
generally regarded in the house as q
joke.

WHERE THE WHEELS co ROUND
Special Legislative Letter to the Willmar Tribune
by John Lawson.

Men who are able to judge in such
matters consider that this sum, ac-
crued at the expense Of the growers
Of grain, would meet all the expenses
Of the elevator people in cleaning and
drying the wheat, and also go good
way towards paying the cost of mix
ing it as they appear to have done
with great profit to themselves.
LIFTING GRADES.
The point, however, to which Mr..
Manahan directs particular attention
is the raise in the grade of the wheat.
It will be seen that whereas over four
and a half million bushels Of no
grade wheat was shipped in, only
about million and a quarter BUSH
els were shipped out. A similar dim
mutton in bulk is seen in other low
grade wheats. On the other hand a
great increase is seen in the bulk OF
the No. l and No. 2 Northern. In
the former there is an increase OF
over four and half million bushels.
which must have been taken from the
lower grades, and in the latter an in
crease Of nearly two millions. The
profit Of this manipulation Of grades
! to the elevator companies, to what
ever cause it is attributed, must have
! been enormous and can be readily
figured out by anyone familiar with
grain prices The table below is sub.
mitted as worthy Of careful examin.

St. Paul, Feb. 11-1nterest contin-
ues to center very largely in the grain
investigation. Mr. Manahan, who is
conducting the inquiry, is endeavor-
ing to demonstrate that the state in
spection Of grain, and especially Of
wheat, favors the Minneapolis ele-
vators at the expense of the farmers.
In order to prove this he has caused
a table to be prepared by the statis-
tician Of the grain and warehouse
commission which shows how the
wheat was graded at the Minneapolis
elevators when it was received by
them and how the same wheat was
graded when it was shipped out dur
ing the two years ending August 81,
1912. An abstract of this table is
given below, and attention is direct
ed to its more striking features.
ELEVATOR OVERRUN.
In the first place it is to be noted
that there is a very considerable ov-
errun, indicating that the elevators
took good care to protect themselves
against any loss that might accrue
by reason of the wheat being impro~
perly cleaned or damaged. The ov'
errun amounts, as will be seen, by
deducting the wheat shipped out from
the wheat shipped in, to l03,844
bushels, worth somewhere in the VIC
Unity Of 100000 at the prevailing
market prices during that period
