The First Money.

Money is mentioned as medium of
exchange in Genesis. chapter %. and
is supposed to refer to Il time as far
back as 1900 Il. C. The coinage Of
money is ascribed to the Lydians, Il
people OF Asia Minor. 1t is. of course.
quite impossible TO fix any definite
date for the first coinage. Long before
any one thought to coin money it was
made out of any durable substance
that came to hand. such as leather,
iron. tin. bronze and even the hard
bark of the trees and stones Of the
fields The Hollander, so late rs the

ENTHUSIASTIC RALLY.

The opening and final gun of the

shot off last Friday night, when a
number of democratic county candi-
dates held meeting in HosfetI IS
Hdil. And 1t was some gun, at that,
Judging from the large attendance
and the applause that greeted the
candidates.
Nearly two hundred people turned
cut to hear the candidates and they
We're not disappointed! Those who
addressed the crowd and who min
g1ed with the audience after the
meeting Was over and turned into a
dance, We're the following: Mel Green
leaf, j. H. .Shanssey, Mulford Winsor,
R. !. Winn, H. Wuppermlan, A. B.
Ming and F. E. Elliott.
q. M. Spence presided and intro
duced each of the speakers by few
Weu-chosen remarks, Mandatory Of
their past record as servants of the
people. Each Of the candidates gave
interesting talks and were en- thusi.
astlcally received by the audience.
Even such old speech-dodgers as
Col. Shanssey and Sheriff Mel Green
!aaf, in the, general enthusiasm that
prevailed, got up and made rattlin g
good speeches.
The principal speech cf the even
ing was made by Mulford Winsor,
who spoke on county, state and ma
t!onal issues. Mr. Winsor always
has a good speech up his sleeve,
and his hearers were more than inter.
ested in what he had tosay. His re.
marks ON President Wilson and his
achievements We're handled only as

During the evening an effort was
made to organize a Wilson and Hunt

of the legislature and the remaining
$l46, ,856.64 was paid for attaches,
mileage and incidentals. These fig
ures are taken from the records of
the state auditors office and can be
verified by any one interested.
Under our form of government the
Legislature, like the judiciary being
entirely Independent of the execu-
tive department, the term of office
has been made four years, thus en-
abllng man to better serve his con-
stltuents by reason of his experience
along legislative lines. Members of
tde legislature only serve sixty days
every two years. A four year term
gives a mananOpportun to become
tamllar with the needs of his dis
trlct 1t enables his constituents to
confer with him regarding the needs
OF his district and gives him; ample
time to prepare the necessary bills
for introduction at the next session
If the Legislature.
Under the provisions Of cur pres
ent consultation, members of the leg
stature are the only Officials in thl
s;ate who are practically exempt
from the recall. A man elected in
November assumes office the follow
Ing January when the legislature
convenes, and his services ordinarily
are completed sixty days later. 1t
is 1narifestly impossible to recall
member of the legislature in large
county Of ten ortwelve thousand vo-
;ers before his term of office ex-
pres Besides 1t would be tmpcs
sible to get another candidate to
make a campaign for the vacancy
in case a recall petition was circula-
ted.
The measure Is absolutely non-par-
t1san. 1t makes no pretense of chang
Ing the present method of electing
state senator's. It simply provides
FOR an increase in membership wh1m
the population of some OF the small.
er counties warrants it. There is no
advantage or disadvantage to any po-
iltlcal party In electing the members
OF the lower house Of the legislature
oy legislative districts as proposed
IN the amendment. 1t is the very
perscnlficat1on of representative gov
frnment. 1t gives the people the
light to elect representatives person
auy KNOWN to them. 1t makes the
recall provisions of the constitution
effective as to members Of the legis-
lature. 1t gives every section of the
state and of each county equitable
representation, and does not permit
the more populous sections to name
ne members Of the legislature to the
E eXclusion Of the less populous sec
tions.
