The Initiative and Referendum and
County Option

formation that extra session of the legislature will
be called to consider appropriations and also the
initiative and referendum AS to whether not the
adoption of such resolution would help or hinder
legislation in which the temperance people of the
state are interested is open question The temper
people of the state, such, have yet lined
up on one side the other on the initiative and ref
erendum proposition At the present time the people
of the state, especially those outside the large cities
which dominated by the liquor interests ask
ing for county option bill. If these people should
be compelled to secure county option through the in
itiative and referendum it would have to be by
ority of the citizenship of the of Illinois,
including those in the cities who not interested
directly in county option If the city of Chicago had
kept hands off of the county option BILL it would have
become law early the Legislature of 1911. For
this number of people favoring county option
not in favor of initiative and referendum propo
stion that would in any way permit the people Of
Chicago to take away from the people down state
what they have and fighting for. On the
other hand, some of the members of the United So
ceties have opposed the initiative and referendum be-
they watch the growing sentiment against
the saloons within the bounds of the state they fear
the submission of statewide Prohibition proposition
They know this is not Immediate but the growing tide
them of the death of the liquor traffic within
the next few years consequently they fearful of
giving the people the opportunity of voting state
on that proposition
Would Statewide Vote Help the Tenn

The general opinion among the temperance peo-
pie is that county option residence district option and
law enforcement nearer enactment with
out statewide vote than they would be through such
vote 1t must be borne in mind that the women are
not given the vote the statewide proposition under
the present womans suffrage law It will take con-
stitutional amendment to grant such a vote
In the last legislature the bona hde vote for the
initiative and referendum within eight or
ten of enough to submit the proposition to the people,
1t was understood by all that number of people
voting for it ready to withdraw their votes had
they secured the necessary two-thirds vote. There

Option
for county option. which is really just referen-
dunn proposition, it is designed to give the people
of county the right determine whether or not the
saloons shall remain there. Some of the I. and R
leaders would agree let county option 60 over
and thus pass both measures
This Kind of An Initiative and Referendum Measure
Would Have Hindered.
But whether for or against this proposition, a
little investigation of the resolution that presented
in the house the last time will prove that it would have
been detrimental in that form the securing of
ty option the enactment of any other laws of an
aggressive nature
The Senate Resolution No. II prepared and
offered to the senate on February II, 1913 It
referred to committee and reported back April
with recommendation that it pass. 1t was how
ever, amended on April Y by changing Section IS,
which amended says that initiative petition shall
be filed mot less than sixty days prior to the day of
converting of any regular session of the general
semby." Before this amendment added it read
thirty days" instead of "sixty days" This change
from thirty to sixty days looked innocent it
claimed to be by the senator who presented it. who
possibly did SO at the nstgation of the United So
cetes, and who said the only purpose of the change
to give more time for consideration and examna-
ton of petitions. But think moment what this
would really The resolution could not be rati-
fed by the people until the election held Novem-
Der A. 1914 1t would take at least two three days
before it would be definitely known whether not
the resolution had passed. There would be left only
sixty days from that day until the converting of the
assembly on January g. 1915 which would make it i'm
possible for any initiative petition to be filed be-
half of any legislation through the initiative and refer
endum in the next general assembly. That would
mean that to get county option residence district
option through the initiative and referendum under
the proposed resolution that the first chance we would
have would be in the assembly which convenes in
January, 1917. Then that legislation could only be
ratified through referendum by the people in No
vember, 1918 Providing it would be lost in that ref
erendum by vote of all the male voters of the state
would be too late to file petition to have the mat

RObbing the Hogs.

A man, riding wheel along 4
country road in late October, dis
mounted, climbed fence and picked
up an apple from the ground. He
stood eating it, when a farmer came
along.
Say, what're you doin there?"
the latter asked.
The man, alarmed for the moment,
apologized and said he had picked
the apple up from the ground.
"Wall," half snorted the farmer,
coming closer to the man, don't you
go doin anything like that ag in

AL right, SIR said the man,
but I thought it would be all right

er. The young woman, for she was
only 21. was an opium slave, and it
was while in an opium den in Toulon
that she first attempted to bribe a
naval mechanic named Julien, en-
ployed in the central workshops of
the fleet, to be her accomplice. Ju-
lien, fortunately for himself, prompt.
" reported the matter to his supe-
rior, and the result was that the wo-
man was arrested.
Then there was theease of young
and beautiful woman named Peter
son. VINO was arrested at kiel, in
Germany, on suspicion of being a
French spy. Passing as a teacher of
languages, she had entered into a
love affair with a non-commissioned
officer named DIETRICH, of the eXplo-
sive department, for the pupose of
inducing him to reveal important
German naval secrets. She had, by
the exercise of her arts of fascination,
attained complete ascendency over
the young fellow, who was found to
be supplying her with the formula
for the manufacture Of German
smokeless powder and the situation
of port mines.
The attention of the authorities
was first drawn to her by the ample
funds she always seemed to have at
her disposal. Then there was the
case of the notorious French beauty
known as La Belle LisOn, who fascin-
ated a young French officer, Lieut..
Ullmo, who, in order to obtain the
means to crafty the extravagant
whims of this woman, had sold some
of his country's secrets to foreign
power. He was discovered, put on
trial, and the most important witness
against him was the young woman
who had ruined him. In the end he
was disgraced publicly, and sentence
ed to imprisonment for life.

DEATH AND DAMAGE BY STORM.
Widespread Disaster Reported from
Many Western States.

Chicago, March PA terrific
wind storm. causing widespread de-
struction and loss of life and practi-
callv wrecking the already demoral-
lied telegraph service. ragged over the
Central West and Middle States late
today. Reports from Nebraska.
Kansas and Iowa and Indiana indi-
cate heavy damage but owing to the
wrecking of the telegraph lines the
reports are fragmentary and lacking
in detail.
Omaha: Berlin, Ashland and Yu-
ran. Nebraska-the latter towns near
Omaha ha-Marshalltown Ackley, Car
roll AID woodbine, Iowa; Terre Haute,
Ind. aad Abilene, kas. are places
from which scattering messages
carving the news OF grave destruc-
ton have been received. The death
list at Yutan, was placed at fifteen
and the injured at fifty.
For more than four hours no word
was received from the stricken city
of Omaha. Late bulletins report
that half the city was swept by tor
nado. All wires we're down and Ber-
lin, a neighboring town, was said to
be in flames. The message was re-
ceived over a single long distance
telephone wire, which worked at in
tervals.
Terre Haute, Ind, suffered severe
ly. Scores of persons were injured,
an unknown number were over
whelmed in the ruins of houses blown
down by the wind and many fires
we're started in different parts of the
city
First reports from Nebraska were
that the towns visited by the storm
had been wiped out and that the
wreckage was on fire. Trains load
ed with rescuers, nurses and physlc-
ians were struggling toward the escene,
being compelled to feel their way
without running orders, owing to pa
ralysis of the telegraphic service.
The loss of life and property IN
Iowa was less severe; according to
messages from the swept district.
Dust storms, rain, hail and tremen-
dous electrical disturbance prevailed
over Kansas and Nebraska the great
er part of the day. Where railroad
service was impossible motor cars
were pressed into service and sur
lgeons and supplies were rushed to
the wrecked towns at the best speed
possible over the washed-out roads.

HOMES FOR THE CABINET.
Are Not Men of Wealth and Will Live
in Moderate Houses.

The members OF the Wilson cabinet
are in the main not men OF large
means, and it is presumed that they
will live in moderate houses, and al
once the administration will start off
with some diminished prestige, says
Washington letter. One may depre-
cate the idea, but social prominence
and ability to keep up great men-
age adds greatly to the influence OF
cabinet official, and the country likes
that sort of thing of a cabinet otu-
cial, however illogical and almost I'M :
proper this interest of the people may
seem.
Most members of the Taft admin
istration lived in fine houses, and
especially Secretary Knox, Secretary
Meyer, Secretary MacVeagh (who
lived in a veritable palace), Attorney
General Wickersham and Secretary
Stimson. Postmaster General Hitch
cock and Secretary Wilson, of the
Department of Agriculture, live III
hotels, and Secretary Fisher and Sec
retary Nagel lived in rather modest
houses.
A cabinet minister is expected TO
live with some pretense even to the
grandiose. His wife has to hold e
ceptions, which are always largely
patronized, and they require room.
The fashionable part of the city must
be sought. And rents of this type
of homes come very high, and the
cost of their up-keep, to say nothing
of the engagement of a large retinue
of servants is considerable. Yet
cabinet member receives only $4,000
a year. If cabinet official attempts
anything in a social way worth while
his salary of $4,000 year is but
drop in the bucket. Much is expect
ed, especially from the Secretary Of
State, who has to head the diplomat
is corps, but he receives no more
condensation than do the other mem
bers of the cabinet.
1t has been suggested that Con-
gress provide the members of The
cabinet with proper homes. And, in
deed, this should be done. Then
man of moderate means could afford
to serve his country without seeming
to be a "tightwad." He would not
have to bow his head in shame.
A bill to provide cabinet officials
with homes was fathered in the last
session by Congressman Aver, of New
York The matter is worth agitat-
ing. How much to expend on such a
home for cabinet official will have
to be carefully weighed and then ar
chitecturally they ought not to be all
alike, as the homes Of army officers
at fort. That would be impossible
because it would be ridiculous.
And the Vice President should have
an official home. Vice President Mar
shall has been forced to take apart
ments at hotel because his salary
would not permit him to maintain
suitable house in Washington and ar
other at his home in Indiana. The
last three Vice Presidents, Sherman,
Fairbanks and Hobart, were all men
of very large means, and they spent
fortunes in maintaining social pres
tige in Washington.
