In Northern Arizona, Utah, Nevada,
Southern Idaho and Western Wyom-
ing, the fires on National forests set
by campers have decreased in four
years from nearly third to approx.
mately one-fifth. Lightning fires have
increased from less than one-fourth
to nearly one-half. The relatively
larger proportion from lightning, how.
ever, is due partly to decrease in
other causes.

STREET SWEEPER ARRIVED.
Bryan Takes Another Step Forward
Getting Out Of Country Ways.

The street sweeper ordered by the
city council few days ago TO be used
on Main street arrived this morning
on the southbound local freight and
was given trial. Some little trouble
was found in putting the machine to-
gether. as there was no one connected
with the city experienced with ma.
chimes OF this kind. The trial was
thoroughly satisfactory, but it was
found the street will have to be
sprinkled before being swept. as the
broom revolves so swiftly II throws a
cloud of dust when the street is dry.
The brooms are made of thin wooden
material, but will last long time. as
they can be reversed when worn in
one direction. An extra broom was
ordered and came with the machine
this morning.

The Starkville news. (Starkville, Miss.) 1902-1960, 1914-10-23

The farmers of Mississippi, as
never before, are seeking reli-
able information concerning the
great problems that are con-
fronting them in the handling
of their farms. Particularly
does this apply in the present
cotton situation. Prompt action
is necessary to relieve the dis
tress that at present exists.
For the purpose of supplying
this demand, the State Fair has
arranged with FL. K Blakeslee,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
and r. S. Wilson. State Agen
for the Cooperative Demonstra-
work, to give illustrated lectures
during the fair upon these mos
important matters.
A good tent, fitted with stere
opticon and other conveniences,
will be located near the entrance
10 the Agricultural Building,
where all are invited to drop IL
and enjoy comfortable seat.

lures. and ask questions if they
SO desire.
This entertainment will be ab-
>olutely free. The lecturers arr
of the ablest in the state. and
the farmers can undoubtedly
get information that eau be car
lied back to their homes and
made Of great value 1t is in

that shall constitute quorum In the
event the bench shall hereafter consist
of six members instesd of three, as
now provided. Two is quorum In
bench of three Judges. but will not be
in a bench Of six.
The Fifth Amendment Is entitled "A
concurrent resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution increas-
ing the number Of Supreme Judges to
six" The purpose of this amendment
is to double the working capacity or
the Supreme Court Bench. It now con-
sists of only three members and these
are not able to keep up with the work.
The Sixth and last Supreme Court
Amendment entitled "a concurrent
resolution proposing an amendment
to the Constitution providing that
the Supreme Court may sit for
the trial of causes in two d.
visions" The purpose Of this Is to
double the working efficiency OF the
Supreme Court by providing that three
Judges may work on one lot OF cases,
while the other three are working on
another lot.
To avoid confusion the entire six
amendments should be voted for. The
Judges and Chancellors are now elect
ed by the people. Why not the Su-
preme Judges? The other provisions
have to do with the increase In the
number Of Judges, terms OF office, eto.
The annual business coming before
this court is now greater than three
men can attend to properly. 1t is
physical impossibility for the court to
keep up with it's docket. 1t Is now
more than three years behind. Some
thing must be done. 1t is especially
unfair to the poorer litigant who can
not afford to wait. He Is often forced
into unfair and unjust compromises be-
cause of the laws delay. The Constr
tuition provides that justice shall not
be sold, denied or delayed. We appeal
to each and every citizen to inteili-
gently study the Supreme Court
Amendments. With the other amend
ments they are published In the news
papers of every county OF Mississippi,
and we ask you to study the condition
that makes these amendments neces-
sary. and we solicit your vote and your
influence in this campaign I'm aid OF
good government We will appreciate
your help. Respectfully,

To the People Of Mississippi:

To the People OF Mississippi:
We, the undersigned Committee OF
the Mississippi Bar Association, ap-
pointed to give publicity to the six
Amendments with reference to the SUI
preme Court, issue this appeal to you.
We know that whatever service ts
asked of you for the good OF your
State you will readily accord. That
no labor, toll or sacrifice Is too great
for your to give willingly to MississiD-
pi. We therefore ask your careful
consideration of the first Six Amend
ments that will appear on ticket to
be voted at the general election to be
held throughout the State on Novem-
Der Sd, . synopsis of which Is given
below.
The First Amendment is entitled ga
concurrent resolution proposing an
Amendment to the Constitution reQuir
ing the Judges Of the Supreme Court
to be elected by the people" and this
Amendment Is self-explanatory.
The Second Amendment is entitled
"a concurrent resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution fixing
the term Of the office Of the Judges OF
the Supreme Court" This Amendment
fixes the terms Of the Supreme Judges
at eight years instead Of nine, as our
elections are held every four years.
and part Of the Judges will be elect
ed every four years.
The Third Amendment is entitled "a
concurrent resolution proposing an
Amendment to the Constitution for
eliminating therefrom Section 151."
Section 151 provides that vacancies
In the Supreme Court Bench shall be
filled by an appointment OF the Gov
ernor. The purpose or this Amend
ment is to perfect the scheme Of elect
ing Judges.
The Fourth Amendment is entitled
ga concurrent resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution elm
mating therefrom the provision that
when either party shall desire the Su-
preme Court for the trial Of any cause,
It shall be composed Of three Judges.
