u. 5. MUST CONTINUE
TO Build UP NAVY
Daniels Says We Cannot Afford to
Cease Warship Building Until All
Nations Reduce Armament.

Washington, Dec. Until all ma
tons agree to reduce their arma-
ment, the United States must con-
tinue to increase its naval pcwer,
Secretary Daniels declares in his an
nual report made public tonight. and
which urges that funds be appropri-
ated at once to begin building ~ adj
ditional ships.
Il feel it my duty to warn as SOL
emily as 7 may the secretary says
after reciting the huge expenditures
for the navy authorized at the last
session of congress, against the
danger that lies in a possible feeling
on the part of our people that the
navy has now been attended 10. has
been placed where it belongs, among
the great nayies Of the world, and
there is nothing further to be done.
Complacent retrOspection is the father
Of dry rot. We have made a ma3nlfi-
cent beginning. but that it must not
be forgotten by the public that the
same intelligent appreciation Of our
needs, the same Willingness to pro-
vide for these needs, must be shown
this year and every succeeding year
ii we are to finish what we have
commenced"

HOUSTON HAS PLAN
REDUCE FOOD COST

Washington, Dec 7.-Efforts to re-
duce the cost of living thru increas-
ed production and better distribution
of the country's foods are detailed in
the annual report of Secretary Hous-
ton of the department of agriculture,
made public today. The report also
devotes considerable attention to the
pure food law and urges on congress
the need of strengthening it to permit
Standardization of foods and drugs
and inspection of foods and drugs
factories.
Records of the department, the re-
pert sets forth, show that except or
meat and dairy products the per cap
tia production of the leading food
commodities in the United States has
remained about the same despite the
rapid growth of population. Statis-
ties presented cover period of is
years. The population has increased
in that time 33 per cent. There is
ground for optimism, the report says,
as to the ability of the nation not
only to supply itself with food but in
creasingly to meet the needs of the
world.

vote cast at the election shall not be
required 1t was the present require
mcnt on this subject which defeated
the will Of the people in their vote on
municipal bonds. road amendment,
and other measures. 1t is clearly IN
just to count in the NEGATIVE the votes
of those who do not take sufficient
interest in proposition to advise
themselves TO vote intolligently.
Every silent vote thereby become a
negative vote.
One of the defects in amendment
No. 10 was the fact that it was 50
drawn that it d1uld be, and was con-
strued by many, as giving smaller
governmental units than the state the
power TO initiate and enact laws that
would be in direct conflict with the
general statutes for the whole state
The unutterable confusion that would
have resulted from such provision
passes the comprehension of the
widest imagination. AS re -drawn, ii
is specifically provided that no init
ated act can conflict with state law.
Other changes that hive been made
eliminate Objectionable features for
the restriction of the powers of su-
preme court and the legislature; also
the arbitrary provision that only TO-, =.
900 signatures should be necessary to
initiate any measure. The present
provision of eight per cent of the vote
cast a. the next preceding general
election remains unchanged. On this
tasis, with the largest vote ever cast
in the state at the recent election, APP
proxlmately $4,000 signatures would
he required to initiate measure
while less than II, GOO were required
last year.
Should the approaching session o.
the legislature call = constitutional
convention, these remedies, and many
others, would be sought through this
agen6V. And it is known that there
is strong movement on foot for tho
calling of a convention to be held
next fall for the re-di afting of our

Mothers can rest easy after giving

PEOPLE SHOW ABILITY TO
LEGISTLATE.

While some have been disposedsfto
doubt the discriminating sense of the
people in matters of popular lcgisla
ton, the results of the recent state
election seem to have justified the
theory. Careful discrimination was
shown in the manner in which the
people voted ON the measures pro-
posed. They voted in favor of purer
elections, better schools improved
roads and against measure to give
the liquor traffic full swing. Thru
an archaic provision of an out grown
constitution, the will of the people
was defeated on the question of good
roads, because of the large number
of voters who failed to vote either
way on amendment No. IA, and were
therefore recorded with the oppos;-
ton.
There was one amendment before
the people, No. IS, for the extension
of the initiative ana referendum, that
was badly beaten. 1t was essentially
popular, but it went too far, and the
people voted against it. 1t attempt-
ed too much, was toe revolutionary
and would have brough, about con-
fusion much more serious than the
evils it attempted to remedy. These
things being true, even the earnest
endeavors of Arkansas Federation u
Labor, fighting for the primary prin-
Tple involved, could hot overcome
the inevitable distrust that grew up
in the minds of the electorate.
But the amendment has ALREADY
been re-drawn and simplified, ami
approved by conservative students OF
the law. In this form it will be re
submitted a. the 1913 election. Peti
tions are in circulation, SO that the
necessary number Of signatures may
be secured for its initiation, befor
the legislature has a chance to sub
nit three other amendments that will
supersede this measure. That was
the only method that enabled the edu
cational interests to secure the sub
mission of amendme No. u, which
passed by such handsome majority
This is one of tie conditions
sought 20 be remedied by the Init
alive and Referendum league of Ar
Kansas in the new amendment-the
removal of the restrictions placed by
the present CONSTITUTION upon the
number of amendments to be sub
mitted at any one time. This re-
striction has, in the past, defeated
woman suffrage, mum cipal bonds AMI
other things upon which the people
were demanding a hearing.
Another important feature in the
proposed measure is that it provides
that any measure submitted to the
people shall be passed by ma
iority of the votes cas- on the sub.
jeet, and that a majority OF the total
