PRECEDENT AND FORMER sEcRE- TARY OF STATE lNDoRsE
 AMENDMENT NO. t3.

With the adoption of Amendment No. IS, Arkansas will have a perfect Initiative and referendum law as ap- proved py President Wilson.
 # Of our initiative and referendum system, President Woodrow Wilson Says: Back of all reform lies the method of getting it. . That they are the necessary instruments in the hands of the people to secure these Teforms. They are the key that opens the door to our legislative house. The initiative is a means of seeing to it that measures which the people want shall be passed when Legislatures defy or ignore public opinion. The referendum is a means of seeing to 1t that the unrepresenta- tive measures which they do not want shall not be placed upon the statute book"
 will be remembered that Mr. Bryan made many speeches in Arkan- sas in favor of the initiative and ref eFsndum prior to the adoption of our present law. For eighteen years he has been an earnest advocate of this iegislstion, and makes the emphatic statsment that. T regard the initie- five and referendum as the greatest modern improvement in strengthening TsDTssentative government.
 kR. Bryan could not forssee when advocating the passage of Amend tnent No. 10. our present initiative and referendum law. that . legisla- ture would destroy much of its value to the people through an enabling act. and that the courts would detrsct much rom it's usefulness by inter pretations of it's meanings contrary Co the intentions ot it's framers, Dut Amendment No. 13 will give to it all os the virtues ascribea to this legis- laion by Mr. Bryan.

PAPER
PROBE
RENEWED
CBy Associated Press !

Washington, Dec. 29.--The federal
trade commission reopened hearings
today in its news print paper investi-
cation, taking UP the inquiry where It
was left off two weeks ago for study
of a distribution plan proposed by the
manufacturers. The proposal still was
receiving consideration.
The commission plans to present
again facts concerning cost OF paper
manufacture and profit in news print
making. The publishers charged pay
ing exorbitant prices and that artificial
news print shortages have been Great
ed by diversion Of news print making
machines to other classes of work. The
manufacturers contended that the
prices were reasonable and that the
makers We're privileged to produce the
kind OF paper that pays largest
profit.
Under the distribution plan pro-
posed. all publishers would get a
small reduction from the present
prices obtaining the bulk of their sup
plies under an agreement of super
vision by the commission by which the
large publishers would relinduish a
large part Of their supply for the COM
ing year.
Commissioner Davies made it clear
that the commission is determined to
find some relief for publishers. He
said the commission In the very inn
mediate future would decide whether
the, distribution plans were feasible. II

Striking back at the French in the
yerdun region on the bank of the
Mesue opposite the scene Of the recent
French successes. the Germans made a
strong effort last night to penetrate
the French line between Hill 304 and
Dead Man Hill. the two dominant
eminences northwest of the fortress.
According to Paris. the attack was
broken up and the Germans succeed
ed in gaining foothold In only one
trench south of Dead Man Hill.
The activities around Verdun front
have been the only breaks in the
monotony of the winter trench war;
fare along the Franco Belgian front.
The battle OF the Somme admittedly
is in state of suspense because of
the bad state of the ground and un-
favorable atmosphere conditions, ac-
cording to British reports.
In Rumania, where the real activity
of the war now centers, Field Marshal
Won Mackensen in keeping up his
thrust, forced the line Of the Sereth in

office building; Louden building, erect
ed for the Horton Motor Co.; Gaard

sonia flats, built by Ben Wasem; the
new Hogan flats and the Pontoppidan
church.
Some Of the most notable residences
include those OF s. H. Watson. valued
at $4,000; DR.. N: Tronnes home,
valued at $4,000; Dr. George A. New
salt residence, valued at $4,000, and
numerous others OF lesser value.
The building permits show that ap-
plication for buildings were made to
a total value OF over $1,080,000, which
does not include the cost where build
ings were moved from one place to
another and improved. no permits be-
ing issued for this kind of work ow-
ing to the defective ordinance that
is in force in Fargo at the present
time
Mr.. Tibert estimated that the costs
given at the time permits are applied
for and granted, are about two-thirds
OF what the actual value OF the build
ings are when finished. and taking this
into consideration and making a very
conservative estimate on the amount
of moving OF buildings that has been
done, places the total building done by
the people OF Fargo at $1,650,0e0.

Bismarck, Dec. 29.-The election of
Howard Wood, of Ward county, as

Wood himsNf is SO confident of the

The service on the south loop OF the

the south side, according to informa-
tion from the head offices OF the COM
pany.
The construction of this sewer will

tracks on Fifth avenue where for a
distance OF 400 feet or more between
Ninth and Tenth streets the tracks
must be taken up. At this point the
avenue is paved and the tracks are
laid in concrete with steel ties.
Mgr c. P. Brown of the street car
company stated this morning that he
expected that the tracks would have
to be taken up sometime in Febru-
airy.
A large ditching machine will be
used that will take up practically the
entire width Of the avenue and ditch
about IA feet wide will be excayated
and filled in behind the machine as the
sewer Is laid.
Mr.. Brown stated that as soon as he
knew just how much of the avenue the
ditch will take, he would try to
make arrangements for a temporary
track around this 400 feet in order
that the cars may be run around the
south loop without the necessity OF
passengers interfering and having to
walk around the obstruction.
City Engineer f. t. Anders stated
this morning that the contracts foI

Kennedy and three smaller pieces
awarded to the Haggart Construction
Co., call for the work to be started by
the first of the year. The contractors
have ordered portions of their material
and the machinery for these jobs and
it is expected that actual operations
will be begun in the near future.
