MADE OF
new LEGISLATURE
Direct Legislative League
Finds Majority Pledged
to Initiative.

Evening Capital News: The execu-
tive committee of the Direct legisla-
ton league. at a meeting held in Boise.
made a careful survey of the successful
candidates for the legislature, to as
certain the probable chances for pass
age of the bill for a constitutional
amendment prov iding for the initiative
and referendum, which the league will
place before the members of the leg
islature this coming session.
The members Of the committee were
somewhat surprised and highly graft
fled to find that more than two-thirds
Of the members OF each house are
pledged to vote for the bill.
Apparently, the end Of the long fight
for an adequate and workable bill.
providing for the initiative and refer
endum. is in sight.
For is years, it Is announced, the
friends of direct legislation have been
spending time, money and their best
energy, endeavoring to secure to the
people the right to initiate desired
legislation and refer undesirable meas
ures back to the people for final de-
cision.
Two years ago, when the peoples
bill was introduced, the enemies Of
direct legislation substituted in it's
stead the Johnston bill. giving the peo-
pie the rights for which they asked
but in such a way as to be unusable.
The supposition was, apparently, that
the 'peepul' would not know the diff
ference anyway, at least not for quite
while, and would stop their clamor.
1t was q clever scheme and 1t
worked-just as most bomerangs do
by coming back and hitting the unskill-
full sender. At least, Tuesdays re-
turns and the almost unanimous de-
mand for an adequate initiative meas
ure, as expressed by the electors OF
our state at the polls, would so indi.
cate.
The Direct Legislation league went
about the matter in way quite in
keeping with the doctrines they have
advocated for so long and put their
specific bill in the hands Of the can
didates fully 60 days before the final
demand for their position on the mat
ter. At the same time. they took the
public into their confidence and spread
the bill broadcast over the state that
the individual voters might know Just
what the league was endeavoring to do
and be In position to vote intelli-
gently on the matter at the proper time.
The results are complete vindica-
ton of the principle of direct legisla-
ton and of the peoples willingness and
ability to get out end vote for what
| they want.
AS was prophesied before the pri-
mary election, those who claimed that
the farmers and laboring men won't
stick together on anuy issue have, for
once, received the surprise of their
lives, for 1t has been done, as the re-
suits show--and this Is a most sig
nificant fact in itself.

the life of him he couldn't find it.
"Ooof! Ooof!" parked Laddie, the
big dog, and Billy Pig could feel him
almost at his heels. He didn't know
anything about magic. but it was GER
tain that the gate had Disappeared
He looked back once and then
squealed louder than ever. For there
was the big dog with his eyes shining,
and his white teeth just ready to snip
piece out of Billy Pig.
"Click," went those white teeth, and
opened again to bite. But suddenly
up popped the gate that Billy Pig had
been hunting for. and under it he
squeezed.

would send the big dog to chase him

But. you see. Billy Pig was ambi-
tious. He didn't like the yard
full of dirty little pigs. and he was
perfectly sure that he had been
adopted and must have belonged to
certain royal family that friend
had told him of.
This friend who had stopped off at
the farm yard on his way to see the
| big city was very wise and much
travelled pig. Billy Pig had listened
for hours to the stories he told OF
the outside world. There was one tale
however, that was best of all.
It was the story of a great pig show
where the prizes were given to the
most handsome and well-bred pig
The first prize was won by a beautiful
young pig who could squeal in the
most royal and lady-like manner. With
the blue and gold ribbon prize tied
around her neck. she was perfectly
stunning. so the visiting pig said.
Billy Pig was sure she must have
been his very own mother from whom
he had been stolen as baby. He had

adventure to find her. but II was really

Now this very day that the big dog
chased Billy Pig off the lawn he made
a great decision.

clared to an old farmyard rooster who
didn't in the least care what he might
be saying. I'll have my great adj
venture and find my real mother. I
won't stay any longer and be scolded."
All morning long he was very much
excited. He gobbled up every apple
and corn husk that he could find so
that he might be prepared for a long
journey. About four o'clock in the
afternoon Billy Pigs mother took a
nap, and at just that time he crawled
under the fence and trotted down the
road.
He thought how nice the grass
smelled and was enjoying himself ire
mendously when little pig who lived
on neighboring farm called to him
from the fence.
Where are you going. Billy Pig?"
he asked.
I'm going to have a great adven-
ture," Billy Pig replied.
Il wish 1 could CO." the little pig
said wistfully.
"Oh, I'll tell you all about it when
come back" Billy Pig promised,
though he really didn't believe he ever
would come back once he had found
his royal mother. A little further
down the road Billy Pig met the old
farm horse. Ned. pulling a load of
hay.
What are you doing so far from
home, Billy Pig?" asked the old horse,
I'm going to have a great adven-
ture," Billy Pig replied. I'll tell you
about it when I come back"
The old horse shook his head, but
he didn't have time to scold. for Billy

At turn in the road there was a
nice green meadow with a pretty
stream running through it. Billy de-
cided to cross the meadow and have
a cool drink from the stream. When
he reached the water there stood Bos-
sic the very oldest COW on the farm.
"Are You running away from home,
Billy Pig?" Bessie asked.

sternly.

IDAHO Is HERE ON VISIT

Charles j. Hall and family of Lu-

brother, Brinton F. Hall.
Mr.. Hall, formerly connected with
the Belding-Hall company, and a resi-
dent here went west twenty years
ago, having caught the western few

broken country Of Idaho and took up
and purchased land until now he has
a ranch or two and holdings of more
than 800 acres. That part of the
country is adapted to grazing and
six thousand of his sheep Craze on
the ranges. He pays particular at
tention to the raising of sheep and
lambs for the markets. Mr.. Halls
ranch, where he resides, is fifteen
miles from the postoffice at Lucille,
which is a very small town. When he
makes a sale of sheep he is obliged to
drive them Fl yftmiles TO the largest
railroad station, but the roads are
fine, walking good and horse back rid
ing excellent, so he doesn't mind a
short distance like that. Settlers fif-
teen or twenty miles apart are con-
sidered near neighbors.
Mr.. Hall looks well and robust and
with his wife and two daughters,
Mildred and Pauline, aged five and
seven years, wear a western smile
and Idaho tan that won't come off.
Mr.. Hall says Idaho has been drier
for several years than Michigan will
be after April 30, 1918.
