The latest information from the
recent voting in Michigan is that all
four of the amendments submitted 20
the people have been lost, although il

students and travelling men TO vote
away from home has squeezed through.
From Oregon comes information
that the 30 laws submitted 10 the
electors through the initiative were
voted down in perfect storm Of
noes although couple OF really
excellent propositions were included
in the list. The people seem to have
taken stand against the submitting
of lot of propositions TO them az one
time. They are not fully informed
upon them and It is human nature TO
turn down anything you don't know
about. Michigan and Oregon are no
exceptions. The same is true OF the
other states where the initiative is
resorted to and where it is being
seized upon by every crank with pet
idea TO exploit
The initiative, occasionally, is good
thing, especially when some question
in which there is a genuine popular
interest and upon which the people
have been fully informed, is mp tor
consideration but its abuse, such
as u instanced in the submission OF a
number of propositions at one time,
was never contemplated when the
agency was brought into existence

in these matters the sooner they will

Mr.. brakes criticism of the accident
board is well put. II is common know

portion of their time in looking after

winch has been open to the same
criticism. The details of the work of

dinstes, mainly the chief clerks.
Most of the complaints against the
actions of these commissions have been
for the reason that the board members
are not giving the time and attention
TO the work of their offices that they
ought to give. The tax commission
has been particularly subject to this
criticism. Instead of giving proper
attention TO the work Of their office
and giving everyone fair and equal
hearing they have made hasty visits
for hearings at which limits were
made to the complaints that would be
heard. Every time the tax commission
visited this section they have been in
such hurry 20 get away that they
haven { even had time TO decide what
the valuations would be but have
taken the rolls along with them
and never have they given any salts
faction 10 anyone appearing before
them. AS a result some of the most
inexousable errors have been made
such as placing the valuations on the
wrong descriptions or locating the
property in another assessing district
altogether from that in which il be.
longed We repeatedly called attention
TO the errors made in this section in
the past by the tax commission. all OF

members didn't give time enough TO

SEC. WILSON REIrERArEs

During the progress Of the copper
country and Colorado mining strikes a
year ago. Secretary of Labor Wilson a
member of the preiident's cabinet
made a speech at Seattle in which he
Endorsed the confiscation Of property If
the owners refused to be ruled by such
men as Meyer, Mahoney. ct al. Last
week Soc. Wilson reiterated his views
before a similar gathering. He grew
very angry, 81 the reports say, and
emphasized his views on no mild man
ner.
A member of presidents cabinet n
generally looked upon IA one who can
and does give expression to the views
of his chief Whenever cabinet
member makes public utterance that
tends to give false impressions Of the
views of the administration he is asked
10 resign. The fact that Mr.. Wilson
was not asked 20 resign and that he
again Expressed himself In similar
terms leaves but one conclusion that
Pres. Wilson Is in favor of the con-
tiscation OF property under similar
circumstances
1t is generally conceded that this
country has had enough Of anti pro-
perty stuff for some time The senti-
ment of the people as expressed in the
recent election is for conservative
protection Of private property and
private business 1t makes no
difference how many or how rosy

The result of the election i'm Wiscon-
sin continues TO bring surprises, the
greatest one Of which is the defeat of
ten amendments to the state constitu /.

general election. These amendments
dealt mostly with innovations in state
paternalism such as state insurance
etc. A few years ago all ten of the
would nave been adopted
by big majorities. Looks as if our
Wisconsin friends have had enough Of
the experimental in government for
time at least.

rHE MoRIARTY AMENpMENT

Anybody who knows the views OF
the members Of this special committee
will expect il 10 get back 20 first
principles by recommending a system
Hnder which the state convention will
be authorized TO nominate candidates
for the primary election ballot, leaving
il 70 the rank and file Of the party to
nominate other candidates for the pri-
mary as at present, il the convention
nominees are not satisfactory. The
chairman of this committee is Arthur
H. Vandenbcrg, editor of The Grand
Rapids Herald, who endorses that very
system IN his paper with this editorial
admonition
Let il be borne in mind that
primaries should provide untrammeled
party control by the party's rank and
file but let it also be remembered that,
IL possible, this result should be accom-.
plished without complete destrue-
ton OF party organization.

nittee are Lieut.. Gov Ross, VINO

who was Of the opinion that the re-
publican get-together convention in
Detroit few months ago should have
offered some organized expression on
the gubernatorial candidates for 1914
and or Senator MacKay OF Detroit,
who supported the Moriarty amend
ment 10 the Dickinson primary cleo
ton bill in the session Of 1909.
Senator Moriarty's amendment was
simple enough, IL gave 10 the state
conventions the right of placing can
didates on the primary ballot in con-
formity with the doctrine OF The
Detroit News as expounded IN 1908
thus bringing the convention ahead of
the primary and enabling the organ

platform on which the candidate.

81 the nominee. Senator .. Moriarty
showed that his amendment was
modelled on the findings Of Governor
Hughes Of New York, who had recon-
mended that nominations for the
primary ballot I've made by party COM
mitees in order Ito avoid those gross
evils which experience in every state
that has adpoted direct nominations
shows to be inherent in the system.
The only objection TO tho Moriarty
amendment which we ever were able
TO extract from the father OF the bill,
now lieutenant. governor. elect, was
that il would require the rewriting OF
part OF the measure, Writing being a
particularly onerous labor TO the then
administration. the Dickinson ob.
lection was deemed sufficient. Detroit
