AMENDMENT RE- GENTLY ENACTED IS CON
 STITUTIONAL.

Little Rock, Dec 23.-The supreme court yesterday handed down an inn portant opinion touching the initiative and referendum amendment to the state constitution. The case came from Mena and involved the power of mu- nicipalities to invoke the provision of the new organic law. The opinion of the court was written by Chief Jus tice McCullorh. The city council granted Tomlinson Brothers fran chise to furnish Mena with electric light and power for an agreed price. The necessary number of signatures to petitions to refer the question to the voters of the city were obtained. Tomiinson Brothers applied for re- straining order to prevent it's submis- sion to the voters. It was upon this question that the supreme court pass ed holding that the lower court erred in not granting the order, but saying that the circuit court did not have jurisdiction; that the injunction should have been sought in the chan cery court.
 The supreme court also held that the law passed by the legislature is constitutional and directs that the case be transferred to the chancery court and the injunction be granted.

JApANs IMMENSE SILK TRADE

Salt Lake Telegram Not many people
know how immense is the revenue
which Japan obtains from her raw SILK
Il aggregated nearly slOO,OOo.ooo last
wear. 1t is a common saying that the
national debts of the country are paid
bv raw silk and silk products. Efforts
are being made by the Japanese to ex'
tend their silk trade throughout the
world. The total export OF raw SILK ana
silk fabrics of all kinds reached $685.
I55. 500 in 1911, to which more than $lo-
600 O was added in 1912. Consul
General Sammons reports from Yoso'
hama that the increase was more tnan
made up by the sales OF raw SILK aud
silk products to the United States. Which
rose from $47, 254. 901 in 1911 to 500 $685.
396 in 1912. all but about $1,000 QUO
being raw silk.
Now, Japan will be careful about
going to war with a nation that buys
that much of her silk; but in that state
ment we can see the especial reason why
Japan wants a hold on California. Gould
1000. 900 Japanese be given a little land
each. say three acres. in California
within Eve years what they would be
producing would be iDcalculable. The
mulberry tree grows luxuriantly in Cali
fornia, and that is the chief food OF the
silk worm. Then, California soil and
climate would, If the plant were Guilt
waited, produce as fine tea as the, very
finest that comes from japan and China.
Now, if 1000, 900 Japanese had 5000. 900
acres OF California soil. they could sup
ply the world with tea and raw silk.
and that is why japan makes no note oil
laws passed by Washington or Oregon
but is most sensitive regarding those OF
California.
