Bennie Says Good Bye
But Takes the Coin

Thirteen year old Bennie Kantleberg
is gone. He fled the city Friday night
after leaving note which said: ~
am going to leave Salem. Goodbye and
God bless you till we meet again"
Saturday his mother discovered the
note; she also discovered the absence of
$43.65, every cent in the family treas
ury. Saturday night she appealed to the
police who have been trying to locate
the youngster. Bennie and his mother
lived on North Twelfth street. His faith
er worked in the Kay woolen mill until
he died about two years ago.
Bennie has been q bad actor. Bad
checks he has written in the past month
total more than $3.50. Only the inter
cession of his mother has kept him out
of the reform, school. On one occasion
she made up an overdraft on her bank
account for which Bennie was respon-
sible. When he departed Friday he took
an extra check book with him for pos
sible use later.
When Bennie returns he will undoubt-
edly spend little time at the reform
school for Chief Walsh and Mrs. Kan
tleberg have about decided that he
doesn't wish to do the right thing by
them.

Veteran Got Busy
With Lodging House

James W. Murray, Jr., a Civil war
veteran, made pretty thorough job of
clearing out the Riverview lodging
house at Center and Water streets Sun
day night.
He kicked over stove or two, threw
some furniture around and drove every
one into the street. Then he camped
before the front door and dared anyone
to come back.
A hurry call was sent in to the po-
lice station. When Chief Welsh arrived
at the Riverview he invited Murray to
be his guest for the rest of the night.
"Sure, Chief" the veteran replied,
~ win feel honored to partake of your
hospitality"
Today the authorities are examining
Murray as to his sanity. Papers found
on him show that he is pensioner. He
served in the Seventh Missouri volun-

The Law Behind the Title

Under the constitution of the
state of Colorado. when the leg
islature passes a law the title to
the bill must convey clearly an
idea of what is in the law, other
wise the courts may throw the
whole act out after it is passed.
This does not apply, however, to
initiated Lills. The title to in
itiated bills are usually made as
fantastic and as interesting as
possible and are designed to catch
voters rather than to tell what is
in the law. A fair example is
the so-called Herd Law Bill. The
title on this bill is "A Bill For An
Act In Relation to the Running
of Live Stock At Large. There
is not word anywhere in the
bill which permits or authorizes
the running of stock at large and
refers as much to animals liz
closed pastures as those upon the
range. Incidentally, however,
there is a fine 'humor in this title,
because tie effect of the bill if
enacted into law will be to pre-
vent any cattle from running at
large anywhere in this state. 1t
means an absolute end to the
grazing of unfenced lands. public
or private. Ifsthis bill under the
same title was passed by the leg
islature, it would be absolutely
un constitutional. but the courts
have held that this constitutional
limitation that applies to legisla-
tive bills does not apply under
the initiative. Those Of tie vo-
ters who undertake to vote intei-
ligently upon initiated measures
by simply ,eading the title are
likely to discover that they have
voted for something they abso-
lutely did not want Apparently
the constitutional amendment
providing for the Initiative and
Referendum is q rather half-hak-
ed affair and the only way it can
be reached now would be thru u
constitutional convention. Rec

LEGISLATIONAL NOT
SECTIOMAI.


What difference does it make
whether the chairman of a COM
mittee is Southerner or a North
erner. so long as his committee
reports legislation which is good
for the entire country?
Kitchin, of North Carolina, as
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, reported out the
great revenue bilfincreasing the
income tax and levyirg an inher-
itance tax. Could any Northern
er or Westerner improved on this
Southerners work?
