ate Is Republican, and, Of course. as
always happens IN such cases party
fealty and prejudice must take the u
place of good Judgment and sound
discrimination with the resultant
deadlock. So, there you are. Not a
darn wheel moving: each side en-I
trenchcd; the forty-two centimeters
are loaded to the nuzzle, the cap
tatns arc trying to reach the other
side OF the breastworlts by a GankIng
movement. Now, II were there act

like to start WITH 4 Legislative pro-
ram like the following. as 1t mtght
prove n scdatiVe for ovcr-worked
and excited nerves:
First: would offer q bill author
lzing the appointment OF a state mar
ket commissioners with d permanent
Office. say at Keyacr, during the
fruit season. ComalssIon men could
Wire their orders direct TO this Of
fee. and With the network OF telc-
phones reaching nearly every home.
the grower would be in quick touch
With the best market, and his produce.
you'd be billed with safety When
the CIR Is loaded the grower does not
know the marketfor that day What
was 4 fair market ycaterday may not
be Il market today. as the supply ex
scceds the demands at this point, but
less than fifty miles away the sup
ply may not equal the Demands
hence market i am sure that
many thousands of dollars could be
saved in one week to the producers
and this would be especially true OF
Derishablc products Markets vary
for the same product in different sec
tons OF the same state. The first
hand authentic information from this
commissioner would be of great ben
Ielit to the buyers in this state or all
Ilsinds OF produce. Does this look
rational?
Second aedativc. of course some
Itling along the line OF social better
rnent. community interest and the
humanity side OF life ought to make
! q strong appeal In such case.
I don't believe that every widow
lleft with the care of Il family should
become the beneficiary OF tho states
bounty. 10 believe we should have
la law preventing the separation of Il
widowed mother from her children.
and in all cases where it is found

the state should intervene and pre-
serve tile home. Tile home Is tie
mninstay OF society. the strong cita-
del OF the state, and should not be
wreck by the loss OF the bread winner
in a land OF plenty
No. Qualitative for restless
nerves.
The commissioner or labor iii this
state Should be given more power 10
act in case Of strikes. lockouts or
walkouts. / am not in favor of
forciable arbitration, but where labor
has a grievance no strike should tyke
place without a notice and the facts
should be heard by the commission
and all disputes where a strike. would
effect the public interest the facts
should be brought out by com
mission. and given to the public be-
fore q strike order is Issued. Where
increase Of wages is demanded the
increase of pay should date from the
time Of notice
No. All the great trunk line
railroads have a pension list. The
United States Staeel Corporation pen
sions aged employees. States and
cities pension the aged teacher. The
confederation or union miners has
just provided a pension OF twenty
dollars per month after Go years. of
age. Many government employees
and superannuated ministers receive
aid. Now a teacher who has given
thirty or forty years to the service
OF the state may not need an old age
pension, but certainly no state can
AFFORD to allow an Invalid teacher to
come TO want and become a subject
of charity.
40. 5In view OF the fact that
equal suffrage has been defeated, and
our state is fast becoming a great in
dustrial center employing many girls
in non-union shops. And in view uf
the further fact that monopoly will
not let supply and demand fix the
cost of living, i feel that the question
Iof a wage to girls is aaproper question
for some civic organization to investi-
gate. and if the protection Of q min
fnum wage is necessary, then let us
have tia sa protectionto womanhood.
no. 6I feel that bill creating
1.-THE Office Of nliners' welfare superin-
l.tendent would be "a long step in the
fright direction This superintendent
! should have desk at the Office of
