 The Senate
 At the opening of the morning session of the senate a communica- tion signed by seventy-two citizens of Winkelman was read. urging the passage of the Drachman prohibition bill. A similar communication was sent to the speaker of the house in relation to the Powers bill. A bill was offered by Senator Campbell to increase the salaries of recorders of counties of the twelfth
 class from $75 to S100 month. In

might arrive at would he final: un- til another method was established, in any event the burden of proof would fall on those who disagreed with the legislative action
 .To illustrate my position take for example our civil code and turn to
 page 1125 under the heading Intia- tive and Referendum paragraph 3324, and you will see that qualified cleo tors is the only qualification requir- ed to sign an initiative petition: and then turn to our election laws and you will find that every elector must register before he can vote How ever before an initiative measure could become effective it would have l to receive under the terms of our constitution only 9 majority of the votes cast thereon at any general or special election. if there were 10000 votes east at that election and only l 10 voted on the measure, 6 in the affirmative and in the negative. it would be a valid law: but subject 1 to the wishes of the legislature, it | ! ever, should it have received a ma jorty vote of the qualified electors. the legislature could take no action thereon. Evidently this construction was intended otherwise different
 words and phrases would have been used.
 q have no hesitancy in saving fhan that thpra is limitation af powers imposed by the mandates ot the constitution on the legislature in taking any action it cares to. on any measure approved by only minority
 of the qualified electors The only question for us to solve so far as oul
 authority is concerned is one of per

 qualified electors supported thi, measure by their votes?

Performances since the first of the year cinch Bob Burman's title to the kingship of fast automobile racers. There has been some dispute about it. some wanting to call other chaps the premier speed kings, on account of the number of races won during the past year.
 But Burman's work has always been flashy and brilliant. and if not as plots at least hugely successful as far as breaking and setting records goes.
 His work at Bakersfield. when he defeated Oldfield in a second match race of fifty. miles. was a revelation. II placed the following records on that nearly circular speedway:
 Five miles, 4:04 2-5
 Ten miles, SIG 2-5.
 Fifteen miles. 12:33 1-5.
 Twenty miles, 1925 2-5.
 Twenty-Five miles. POPS 4-5
 Thirty miles. 24:37 4-5.
 Thirty-five miles. 2S:47 3-5.
 Forty miles, 32:52 3-5
 Forty-five miles 56 3-5.
 Fifty miles. 40:5S.
 This brings up the subject of Bur mars first real entry into the class of speed demons It was at Ormond- naytona Beach. Florida that he tra- Neled faster than any human being ever travelled before in an automo- bile
 He drove the horsepower Ger man racer, the ear with the most powerful motor ever built, at the rate of 141S1 miles an hour. His record for the mile is 25.4O seconds. Bur man travelled two miles in 512S sec onds and drove the kilometer ir 15.SS seconds.
 II was Burman's ambition tC break Barney Oldfield's record and To do it he had to throw the auto wide open. The great speed per formance was not the work of a day Many weeks were spent in prepara- tiQn for the crownins achievement o~the speed kings career.

 A horoscopic expert read Bur mans horoscope. He told the driver that his twenty seventh birthday WAS 10 be the greatest day of his life. This was forgotten.
 For two months Burnian waited for the tides to put the beach course in condition. There is but one time each year when the tides wash the beach smooth and when the tide is out, the course is the best. Always after q severe storm. the Ormond- Daytona beach is excellent for speed purposes.

 on April l there was a sixty mile an-hour wind blowing down the beach and with that behind him Burman was certain of a fast performance The officials did not arrive. on the following day, when the official timers and judges arrived, Burman tried to break the record and failed utterly.
 That night the idea of a strange inhuman face seemed to flash through the minds of Burman, F. A Moross. his manager. and Billy We'll man, his travelling companion. II was the night before his twenty-sev enth birthday
 Before going to sleep Burman re- membered that the horoscepic expert wired to his mother to find out the hour Of the day at which he was born. Then he went to sleep conf dent

K|TCH|N CHALLENGED
BY AERO CLUB MAN
Henry Woodhouse Asserts Only
"Peace. .at-Any-Price" Advo-
Gates Oppose Defense.

In m open letter to Congrcssman a
Claude Kitchin. majority leader OF
the next House, Harry Woodhousc. q
member Of the board OF governors OF
the Aero Club of America. asserts
that "only peace-a -any-prtce advo-
Gates. who do not reason. and persons
OF small mental perspective. who DO
not see, can consider as excessive tn"
spending OF $1,000. 100000 for national
defense"
MI. Woodhousc suggests that this
is about s1o per capita and he argues
that q family spends more than that
in feeding a cat to protect the house
from mice.
Mr.. woodhouse then asks the ma
jority leader several questions. In
part. his letter to Mr.. Kitchin reads:
What's the Answer?
"f the United States Navy. which
has less than twenty aeroplanes In
commission and ordered. and only n
small training dirigible ordered. Is
considered by YOU to DO superior to
the German navy-which has over
1000 aeroplanes and not less than
swer?
If the submarine is tho most dar-
Gcrous enemy of the dreadnaught and
commerce, and the aeroplane Is the
most effective enemy of the subma-
rine. does IT not follow that without
aeroplanes our dreadnaughts, which
cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
and our commerce. which Is the very
blood OF our economic whole, are
cr'minally unprotected?
"if an up-to-date aerop,ane. cost
