MEETING IS CALLED
FOR THIS MONTH
IN HELENA
NON PARTISAN CONFERENCE TO
DISCUSS MEASURES LIKELY
TO BE INITIATED.
(Staff Correspondence

| Helena, March 13.--'The fixing OF
Friday, March 20, as the date of the
meeting of Montana citizens to form
a peoples bipartisan direct legis-
lation league was the result of con-
currence of opinion upon the part of
| a large number of representatives of
all political parties in the state that
the gathering should be held early. as
the work of preparing the laws that
are likely to be initiated will take
should be prepared and ready for gem
eral distribution among the voters not
later than the early months Of next
winter.
The decision to hold the meeting
grows out of a widespread conviction
that the experience of recent years
has clearly demonstrated that law
making by Legislative bodies has been
unresponsive to the needs and wishes
of the people in SO very large a de-
gree as to make it absolutely essen
| tial that the people themselves shall
assert their democratic powers 20 leg
islate in the common interest under
authority of the initiative and refer
endum amendments to the state con-
sttution.
This feeling was accentuated by the
failure Of the last Legislature to carry
out in reasonable fullness the reforms
promised to the people in the various
party platforms put forth last year.
AS a result it was decided by a large
number Of members of the legislature
and by a great many other citizens
that there is left to the people of Mon
tana no other course than direct leg
islation if laWmaking is to reflect the
will of the people. 1t was an equally
general opinion that the necessity for
prompt action is imperative if the new
laws required by new conditions shall
be had, to the end that the develop
ment of the natural resources of the
state shall go on evenly and under
proper regulations; that the burdens
of public taxation, now notoriously un-
fairly distributed, shall be borne equit-
ably by all who should contribute;
that the education of the youth of the
state shall not be impeded harmfully
by lack of necessary funds; and that
q state reputation for clean, honest
and efficient government shall be es-
lsipiioIiCA, 81 liiSlL NIoltdIld iLdS tame
and keep it's rghtful place among the
progressive states of the west and
northwest.
1t will be the purpose of the con-
ference on the 2Sth to discuss and de-
eide upon measures in the public in
terest to be initiated, and to pro-
vide therefor by means of an organ
lied people, a non-partisan direct leg
islation league.
The invitation is general. No Gre
dentials will be required other than
bona fde sympathy with the purposes
of the gathering, and a Willingness to
take a reasonable part in the work to
be undertaken.
At the request of those interested,
Messrs. A. j. Horsky, +. j. Edwards,
John EdgertOn, George 0. Freeman,
all of Helena, and Sam w. Teagarden
of Forest Grove. consented to act
as a temporary committee in charge
of the preliminaries for the meeting.
Letters of inquiry addressed to either
of the five will be given prompt at
tention.

New York, March 13.-Thc Southern
Pacific company, with the concurrence
of the Union Pacific Railroad COM
panN, announced today a modified
plan of dissolution under the United
States supreme court decree in place
of the original plan which recently
met with serious opposition on the part
of the California railroad commission.
The new plan. as outlined by julius
kruttschnitt chairman of the South
ern Pacific company, substantially
provides for traffic agreement
without tracllage privileges to the
Union and Central Pacific.
In brief, the southern Pacific Is
willing to carry Union Pacific Central

off and it's California terminals. in
stead Of allowing those roads direct

and the California commission of these
provisions very effcetually would bar
out the Western Pacific road, which
has asserted its right to the use of the
Bencia cut t-off and Southern Pacific
terminals.
THE modified agreement" said Mr..
kruttschnitt, would be submitted to
the circuit court in st. Louis on Sat
urday and complete details have been
telegraphed to the California commits
sion"
The agreement, it further was stated,
has the approval of Attorney General
McReynolds, and Southern Pacific Of
ficials are hopeful Of its acceptance
by the circuit court and the California
authorities.
Failure of the federal court and the
California commission to accept the
new plan by Saturday midnight will
involve the forfeiture of s1,250, 900.

finance the sale of its Southern Pacific
holdings, amounting to $125, 900.

railroad commission gave q contingent
statement Of the attitude which 1t will
assume. The answer Is contingent
upon the points which now appear
vague, these points respecting princi-

on the Benicia cutoff and upon the
attitude of the attorney general of the
United States and the federal courts
upon the sale of the entire Central

BURLESON HAS PLAN
FOR P|E-COUNTER
BRIGADE
HE'S DOING HIS BEST TO HELP
PATRIOTIC DEMOCRATS TO
THE PLUM TREE.

Washington, March 13.-President
Wilson's advisers have hit upon solu-
tions of two of the political problems
confronting the administration which
promised to be troubles0me--What
kind of democrats shall get plums
from the political tree, and how thou
sands of democrats throughout the
country can be given fighting chance
at least to get near the tree
Within the next few days POST
master General Burleson is expected
to present for the presidents consid-
Grafton a plan which will open to
democrats the $4,000 third and fourth
class misunderstanding placed under the
civil service recently by Mr. Taft.
Mr.. BurleSOn said tonight that he
had not decided whether to ask the
president for revocation of this or
der or not If he decides against
asking for revocation, he will suggest
that postmasters who benefited by the
Taft order be required to pass a merit
test, which would be open also to
others. II the president took the first
course. thousands of postmaster
ships Would be available at once and
if he chose the other, democrats who
|
have as good a chance as republican
incumbentS.
Taft Order Criticized.
Ever since Mr.. Taft issued his fa-
nous order which with a similar one
by Roosevelt put every third and
fourth class postmaster in the coun-
try in the classified service, it has
been subjected to vigorous criticisms
by democrats who charged that its
purpose was to keep in office through
Mr.. Wilson's term thousands of re-
publicans who We're not in sympathy
with the administration and who were
given such protection merely to keep
the republican political machine in
working order.
Mr. Burleson and Chairman Nc
Combs of the democratic national
committee have settled on a plan for
patronage distribution which also will
be submitted shortly to the president.
If it is followed, the question of
whether a candidate for office is
backed by Organization men" or
"anti-organiZation men, will not fig
| ure when he is weighed for a place.
The president will be advised to go
upon the principle that any man who
| subscribes to the democratic platform
and shows his belief in democratic
| principles, is politically fit for office
! Personal fitness, of course, will be
considered first, but the question OF
| state factions Or pre- convention ALI
ances will have little weight. This
| disposition has been shown in the
first batch of presidential appoint
ments. Some of the most prominent
| men whom the president thus fan
! named, opposed his nomination In
! Baltimore.

The appointment today of Johr

tary of the treasury was viewed by
callers at the White House as an ex-
