$ GREAT OPPORTUNITY NOW
= OPENED TO STATE LEGIS-
= TATTTRES

3 .
JudsOn c. Welliver, Washington
correspondent, writes an interesting
article in which he shows why state
legislatures all over the United States
now have a better chance than ever to
do constructive work. At last they
are rid &c the responsibility of electing
United States senators. Now that
senators are elected by popular vote
state legislatures can devote their at
tention exclusively and profitably to
the business for which they are really
Created-that of passing good laws. In
the past these legislative bodies have
spent weeks mad even months pulling
and hauling and log-rolling over
senatorial elections at the expense of
the. sttae and to no advantage of the
people.
Mr.. Welliver thinks that all over
the country there will now be a bet
ter opportunity for good legislation in
regard to better roads and rural
schools-two issues of great import
ance to American farmers. One rea-
son legislatures in the past haven't at
tended to these matters is that they
didn't have time enough to learn. He
says:
The politicians come out into the
farming districts every campaign and
get US hayseeds for anything they
want They give us clodhoppers the
clad hand. a cheap cigar, and a

. DAMAGE DONE BY AN EX-
CTTABLE HIRED MAN.


A contributor gives an interesting
account Of the losses that can be di-
rectly traced to excitable and high
tempered employees. He tells the fol-
lowing story of a personal experience
or his own farm:
81 bought an Ayrshire COW three
years ago. She was what is called
high-strung and a bit difficult to
manage. But the farmer who owned
her before me was "a cantankerous
old cuss. as was also his son-in-law
VINO lived with him, and / calculated
that at our place she would
quiet down. She did My son John
and I handled her. and in three
weeks she would stand TO be MIXED.
But / hired a man. and he was not
even-tempered, and he had fights
with that Ayrshire and she gave less
and less milk. and she lost flesh and
/ had to sell her for $50 less than l
paid for her.
Il discharged that hired man.
"Why. he had nearly ruined two
teams Of young Pinto horses by his
bad temper; so I let the Pintos go.
barnyarded II during the winter so
afraid of him that you couldn't get
within half a mile OF them
Now this man was one Of the
most efficient workers it has ever
been my pleasure to see work ex-
cept for his nervousness and bad
temper. He knew how to work He
was big and strong and willing He
was not stable. 1t was as If he were
continually yelling boo! at every
thing on the place"

RUMoRs OF PEACE

No doubt there are deep longings for peace in the rrevinr homes an over warning Europe and this must So as true Of the Central Powers of the Allies for German and Austrian troops have suffered terrific oss though those countries suffered less from invasion than Belgium and France. But may be doubted if there is any such demand for peace as would support
 the rmors of peace negotiations which have been heard so often since the breakdown of the offensive against Constantinople.
 Answering an interrogation In Parliament Lloyd George pointed out the fact that the British govern ment could not seek peace except by breaking It's agreement with France and Russia to act jointly with them. Does anyone inagaine that the French will sue for peace while their territory s invaded at any time before all the resources Of their country are exhaust ed? Russia with o multitude of stii available in the reserve is fighting her son or near it. and shows no sign Of yielding. Even # 1t should be as sured that Great Britain has been brought to state of utter despondency-and that is assuming too much there are two other nations which must be broke In spirit before peace negotiations arc opened from Che Allies side Germany could of course end the war by offering terms of sufficient beraty but at present there seems as little probability of this of the Allies trying Go make terms while Germauy ns generally sue eessiu in Russia and che Balkans and England rules the sea.

FOR BOTH STATEHOOD AND FULL TERRITORIAL
 GOVERNMENT

The Netchlkan Progressive-aiiner says f we ask for Statehood we might get full Territorial form of Government We cannot f the Delegate from Alaska opposes the latter The Delegate from Alaska may not be influential In securing legislation but naturally Con- eress will not pass an Alaska bin that he opposes.
 But Delegate wickersham is opposed to both State hood and Gull Territorial form Of government He sup ports Statehood because he that VIC cannot get n now In fact be has said that we cannot got and that we win be ready for it before do get it.
 IT Delegate wickersham would support full Ter rtoria form of government for the Territory as well as Statehood we could easily get 1t and then we could govern ourselves and develop Alaska while we are mak ing fight for Statehood
 This is a very serious matter with Alaska. The people are trying to build cities and develop the coun try but the organic act contains many limitations that we can hardly plan step In the way of commun- iy or commonwealth development without discovering the need for Congressional action. The Territory is forbidden authority to authorize the creation Of any pu6 lie debt it Is forbidden authority to legslate the school question the fisheries the game and many oth CT things A simple bnl that Congress would pass quickly eliminating the yexatous limitations from our organic act would free the Territory and permit us to proceed with the development and 1t would not hin der the campaign for Statehood iota delay its eonsummation the fraction of O second.
