1T WOULD NULLIFY THE
INITIATIVE

M HE bill introduced in the
W legislature to prohibit
the paid circulation of
Initiatory petitions might well
be called a measure to put the
Initiative on the shelf. Such
a law if passed would so re-
strict the use of the initiative
rs to make it almost worthless
to the people.
This fact was demonstrated
last summer. Several of the
very worthy measures on the
ballot, the rural credits act
among them, were cotton on
the ballot only at the last mo-
xnent and then through arduous
work by paid circulators. Had
it not been possible to pay for
signatures such measures could
not have been submitted to the
people.
To bar the circulation of pc
titions for hire would virtu-
ally close the door on direct
legislation; a step the legisla.
ture can scarcely be expected
TO take.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

~ HE first week of the New
VI Year witnessed a partial
clearing Of the uncer-
tainties which marked the clos
ing months of 1916. Such de
moralizing speculation in the
war industries as that which
collapsed in December is not
likely to be soon repeated.
While there has been some re-
eovery from the recent break,
there is little expectation of
former high prices being soon
STAINED. Peace or no peace,
war contracts for the United
States are permanently on the
wane. The first check upon
foreign war orders was the

Great Britain to manufacture
an immense increase in her
own munitions as we'll as a pOr-
ton for her allies; also that
henceforth Canada will receive
the overflow orders which had
been coming to the United
States. The most potent factor,
however, in discouraging war
orders is the irrevocable peace
drift. Despite the failure of
recent peace movements, de-
spite the vigorous preparations
on both sides for an even more
bitter struggle, and despite the
maze of conflicting assertions
and misleading information,
two facts become more and
more overwhelming, viz: on
one side the growing strength
and aversion to a premature
peace on the other supposed
weakness and an intense desire
for peace. Undeniably the drift
toward peace is becoming daily
stronger. There is much feal
that a ruthless submarine war
fare may involve the United
States; yet it hardly seems
credible that Germany will de
liberately destroy friendly re

NEXT WEEK, the week before Christmas the Red Cross
wishes TO add ten million members. to the five

Cross war council asked the people OF the United States
TO raise s0D00O00 for Red Cross work. and the people
responded by raising $loG0OOO The purpose now Is to
increase three-fold its membership This is the peoples
All people should far possible share the
burden and the glory The whole fighting manhood Of the
nation without any exception in the nteres, OF the
nation should be trained TO and made ready for the
front The Liberty loans should be taken by every

nation, and now this Red Cross membership campaign is
nationwide effort to bring home to all people
their obligations this country andSo suffering humanity
We must realize that every single individual In this
country is derelict his duty unless according to his
capacity he does his part in helping organize for the
Individual effort alone will not avail and Germany's
strength has from her keen realization of this fact
We must have organized nation both the front and at
home There can b, organization without discipline,
and the Red Cross ono of the great agencies through
which eansanake progress towards such self discipline
The Red Cross does not ask for the new members
primarily because of the money they bring The money
will do great good for the need pressing but even more
important than the money will be the effect Christ
mas morning the Red Cross can flash around the world
ranks and thereby put themselves unquahedy behind
army and navy
The Red Cross has done an extraordinary work abroad
and is doing an extraordinary work at home Abroad il
is n every way suppementing the army and navy medical
corps in Europe and is accumuating enormous hospital
supplies for the OF soldiers and sailors 1t has

families Of our soldiers and sailors. 1t has organized
fify-seven army and navy base hospitals than
dozen OF which have already been sent to France It's

that the legislature will enact law to regulate

developed and is being further developed wi,1A cunning
