munities, cur state and our nation place
absolute control of public affairs into
the hands of elected officers for terms
of wears. Hence we are not free
people. We have not self-government.
The essence of government is control,
and when the people have not final
control they are not free and they do
not govern. The choosing of rulers
is not freedom. The election of a
governor is not governing. The
choosing of captain is not command
ing. Only the control of public
affairs is political freedom. The
choosing of Legislators is not making
laws. And unless the people reserve
to themselves the right to reject a
law passed by Legislators. and to start
desired laws and constitutional amend
ments which legislatures neglect or
refuse to pass we are in bondage to
our so-called Representatives. "
How shall the people become really
free and self-governing?
Simply by putting their will in con-
troll of public affairs for sovereignty
is determined by control. We do not
wish to abolish legislatures. We
simply wish to put the peoples will in
control. so that legislatures will be
the servants of the people and not
their masters.
How shall We do this?
By means of direct action when re-
quired-direct legislation. by means
of the initiative and referendum. In
short, the initiative and referendum
simply provides the means for doing
what the majority of the voters want
done. Five initiative and referen-
dunn bills have been introduced, ]

THE INITIATIVE.

If the word initiative sounds a
little strange or difficult to you, it
will not when you realize that it sim
ply means to initiate or start some
thing.
It works in this way: Suppose
the Legislature fails or refuses to
pass law that the people want. In
the states which have the initiative,
a given number of voters can initi-
ate or start the law desired, and have
it referred to a direct vote at the next
state election, and if a majority of
voters thereon are favorable. the
measure becomes a law. That's plain
and simple. isn't it. And it is just
and our state should have it, in order
to start good laws. But perhaps the
chef benefits of the referendum comes
from the fact that it establishes new
relations between legislatures and
the people whom they represent.
the people become interested in and
watchful of the acts of the legislature.
which becomes worth while, because
the referendum gives them power over
these acts. Now is introduced among
the people new stimulus, a new in
terest in public affairs. The value
to community or state of this new
spirit is beyond calculation. And the
effect on legislative bodies is equal
~ stimulating. They are spurred tc
their best work. and their responsive
ness to the needs a nd wishes of the
people is greatly increased.
Why should we have the initiative
and referendum Have we not self
government already in this great free
country? No, we have not self-gov-
eminent. Election day is our only
free day. And on that day we are
free only to choose our rulers for an
other "term. A man who has not
control of his affairs is not a free
man. If he yields complete control
of his affairs to an agent for a term
of years. he is not free during that
time. No man of sound mind does
this. Every sane employer retains
control of his agents. But our COM

Minnesota Dairymsn p. L. Stone,
of Benson. MIMI, who has been
stocking his farm with pure bred
Holstein- Friesian cattle the past year,
has just purchased of the Fred F..
Field Holstein company of Brockton,
Mass, one of the greatest young
sires the world has ever produced.
The youngster is son of a three
| year old heifer that is a daughter of
Colantha Johanna made the worlds
record in yearly test both for milk
and butter in her class. She is
three year old and will soon finish a
record of over %, 900 pounds of milk
and nearly thousand pounds of butter
and sister year younger stands by
her side in the same barn and will
break the worlds record in her class
with over 81, 900 pounds of milk.
This is the kind of stock that The
Dairyman likes to see come to the
greatest dairy state of the union.
Mr.. Stone and the farmers in Swift
county are to be congratulated
A year ago this month Mr.. Stone
purchased two good pure bred heifers
of the Holstein- Friesian breed and a
young sire to ascertain their value as
dairy animals and after giving them
half years trial in his dairy, which
consisted of a mixture of Guernsey.
and Durham blood. he was convinced.
that he had found his ideal in the way
of dairy COW and last summer he,
purchased several more animals Of,
the same breed and in selecting them
be was careful to select anumber
from the very best families of the
breed. To begin with he selected

ter of the great old COW, DeKol Ais

cord of over twenty-six pounds Of
butter in seven days at twelve years
of age. Mr.. Stones COW is also the
dam of Lakeside Model King, who
has a number. of tested daughters.
and is also one of the best individuals
of any sire of the breed. He also
secured two Butter Queen a daughter
of Esther Piebe DsKol End. with a
record of 29.4 3 pounds of butter in
seven days and 11.49 pounds in thirty
days and was Minnesota's champion
cow up to 1911 for butter and is still
the champion for milk production,
having produced 2,885 pounds in
thirty days; Schilling Oak Fobes,
daughter of Lady Oak Fobes DeKol.
Minnesota's first cow to produce over
six hundred pounds of butter in a
year, accomplishing this as three |
year old on twice day milking is
another of the good ones. Other |
good ones are daughters of Fobes
Fritonna Mutual DeKol, Pontiac
Korndyke Pet, and several grand
daughters of Pearl of the Dairy's Joe
DeKol and Homestead, Jr. DeKol.
With such a foundation as this,
combining as it does the blood of
the most noted families of the breed.
Mr.. Stone is bound to succeed as a
