bills originate in that body.
Constitutionally, the Reichstag
has the right to initiate legisla-
ton, but it is a right which il
does not use to much purpose.
Practically all legislation is
initiated in the upper chamber
Furthermore, the Bundesrath
has the power of vetoing any
measures passed by the Reich
stag. Fourteen votes in the
Bundesrath can defeat any
proposed amendment to the
constitution; the Kaiser, as
King of Prussia, controls
twenty votes. That is, Will
helm II dominates the Bundles
rath and therefore the entire
German Empire.
1t is apparent, therefore,
that no amount of reform in
the appOrtionment of repre-
s~entatives to the Reichstag
can enable that body to regis
ter the will of the people of
Germany.

II B~UNDESRATH CON-
Trolls

~ ESPATCHES have been
~ appearing in the daily
papers recently, report
ing that, in response to the
present agitation, the German
government has indicated its
intention to submit to the re-
organization of the system of
districting for Reichstag cleo
tons. And the dispatches
add: This would meet one of
the most widely urged de-
mands for reform and give
Germany a more adequate rep
resentation in Parliament, the
members of which are still ell
ected on the basis of the popu-
lation of 1870"
Unless one keeps in mind
exactly what this means, these
dispatches, and particularly
the reference to the reform"
are likely to confuse the great
issue of the present conflict;
the battle of democracy against
autocracy.
It is true that the present
system of election of repre-
sentatives to the Reichstag is
antiquated it provides for the
election of one member for
each 100, 900 people. On this
basis, Berlin, which had a
population of 600 1000 in 1869,
had six representatives. To-
day Berlin has a population of
more than 1000, 900. yet it
still has only six representa-
tives in the Reichstag. The
same situation prevails in all
the cities of the old North Ger
man Confederation. Why the
ruling powers have never re-
apportioned the representa-
ton so as to give the cities their
due is that these cities are the
ce1sters of liberal thought and
p"EticaI reform. and especially
of socialism, and their en-
franchisement might endanger
tn, present autocratic regime.
But the fact remains that no
system of reapportionment Of
Representatives to the Reichs-
tag will essentially affect the
pOwer-Or rather the lack OF
power-of that body. And for
this reason:
The Bundesrath, or upper
chamber of the German Parlia-
ment. practically controls the
German Empire. 1t is a coun-
ell of delegates of the princes
Of the various German states
and free cities. The rulers not
only send these delegates. but
instruct them as to how they
are to vote. Each delegation
votes in a mass: in the Bundles
rath the unit rule prevails
To split a vote would violate
the constitution; and if only q
single delegate from a state Is
ipresent. he casts the entire vote
for that state and always ir
accordance with instruction:
he has received from home.
The power Of the Bundles
.rath Is astonishing. All taxinf

A PLAN To PLANT
OVER WIDE AREA
WITH BABY TREES

Redding, March 28-The following
circular letter addressed to the land
owners of the town is self-explana-
tory:
Do you know that the forest survey
of Redding made by tt , State Fores-
tiers two years ago shows that of the
20,107 acres Of land in the town, 43.3
per cent. or about $500 acres is either
forest or waste land? How much Of
your land comes under this latter
classification? Have you ever stop
ped to consider that this area might
be made to produce a revenue for
you?
Redding is our. town. We take It
that you are as interested as we are
in it's welfare. It's future prosperity
and development depends largely on
ourselves. One of our strongest at
fractions is the beauty of our wood
land hills and valleys. Have you ever
realized how much those seem, values
could be increased and the resources
of the town improved by properly util-
izing land now idle and unproductive !?
Much of this land can no longer be
used for agricultural purposes A
large amount of the woodland has
decreased in productiveness by fire,
over-cutting, chestnut blight, etc. A
small investment in forest planting on
such land owned by you, would great
ly benefit the town and yield a fair
interest to yourself. Why continue
to pay taxes on unproductive land
when it can be made both productive
and attractive at small cost?
One acre of land can be planted
with forest trees at a cost of from

PLAZA

"The Dream Garden" "a spectacular
musical fantasy with six charming and
gifted young women playing a variety
of instruments will headline an ALI
star bill to be inaugurated at the
Plaza this afternoon. The offering is
one of the most pretentions and ear
pleasing of it's type in vaudeville and
should prove Almost popular attrac-
ton.
The Four Haymakers, a quartet of
clever and sweet-xoiced young men
have some harmony and humor to
dispense in a fashion that is both
novel and amusing.
Maths Brothers and Grille have a
"corking'' little singing and dancing
diversion that will surely take the
crowds by storm at every performance
and Gaboury and Tasinaro,. the two
local youths who are to offer tn cir or
iginal idea of singing and tumbling
skit that should please their thous-
ands of local friends will make it one
of the best drawing bills the Plaza has
announced in months.
..Stagestruck'' is the title Of the fea-
ture picture and remarkable story
it tells. The pretty country girl who
goes to the big city to answer thu call
of fame, finds herself surrounded by
temptations pitfalls. How far she
goes and how she is finally rescued
from herself and the world is thrill
ingly told in this astounding drama Of
life.

SIS to $40. Conifers (evergreens)
are best to plant because of their
beauty, rapid growth and high value
as lumber. Red pine and Norway
spruce are particularly recommend
ed. the former because it is free from
insect and fungous troubles, and the
latter because it can be used as a
Christmas tree. White pine may be
planted in mixture with either, but
has some troubles which make it less
easy to raise than the other two. In
any case mixed plantation is recon-
mended.
If enough Redding people will join
in cooperative planting plan this
spring, it is proposed to, buy $4,000
or more trees and plant them all dur
ing the week of April 16 to Fl. Labor
must be furnished by the property
owner, but trained man will be fur
nished to supervise all the work.
Twelve hundred trees are required to
plant one acre of open land, and with
little experience two men should be
able to plant 500 to 1900 trees per
day. 1t is estimated that 1000 trees
can be furnished at Redding Station
for So, this price to include the cost
of supervision Of planting.
Will you not help make the plan
possible by pledging your co-opera-
ton to Mr.. FfIey, the State Forester,
before April 9th? Make a start this
spring by planting some trees where
they may make our homes, our road
sides and our general landscape more
attractive, especially during the long
winter months. If time is short, and
labor is scarce, plant only an acre
or even less, and get the children to
help you. Full planting directions
wilI.be sent to all who order stock.

URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush
(By DR.. M. C.. LUCAS.


It was not until the discovery by
Sir Arthur, Garrod, in 1848, that the
blood of equity patients contained uric
acid in an excessively large amount,
that much attention was paid to this
subject. Later scientific men learned
that in govt (also true in rheumatism)
the kidneys do not work properly to
throw off the uric acid poison; con-
seequently uric acid crystals are de-
posted in and about the joints, where
an Inflammation is set up in the enar-
by tissues. When for any reason the
circulation is sluggish, as in the joints
of the toes, crystals formed from uric
acid are deposited there, and one suf-
fers from govt: or, when deposited
in the tissues, one suffers from muscu-
lar rheumatism or articular rheuma-
tism. My only medicine to counteract
the uric acid and to throw it out of
the system is tablets of Anuric (dOu-
BILE strength), three times a day.
The pain in the back, lumbago,
pain in the neck, creaky joints, stiff
ness in muscles, have all been proven
to be caused by uric acid poison in the
blood and tissues. The kidneys soon
become diseased. then there often fol-
lows disease in the muscles of the
heart.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage Of our people. What is to
be done? What can the ordinary per-
son do to properly balance bodily
health? The answer is easy. Eat
less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, drink plenty Of

uric acid solvent before meals for
awhile, such as Anuric double
strength), obtained at almost any
drug store. It was first discovered by
DR.. Pierce, of the Surgical Institute
in Buffalo, N. Y. Most every one
troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water will dissolve sugar.

AMELIA E. Barr

A woman who has given birth to fiji
teen children and to sixty six books
such is Amelia Edith Barr, who be-
came q novelist because she was a
mother. Born eighty-six years ago
today, March 20, 1881, in Lancashire,
England, she was educated in the high
school of Glasgow, Scotland, and at
nineteen married Robert Barr. -Four
years later the young couple emigra-
tide to Texas, and there, just half a
century ago, Mrs. Barr suffered the
great tragedy of her life when her
husband and three sons succumbed to
yellow fever at Galveston. With sew
eral daughters too support, Mrs. Barr
took up her pen and became a con-
tributor to religious periodicals. In
1869 she removed to New York and
became a "hack writer" on the old
New York Ledger, which was then
the most popular of American week
lies. For fifteen years she wrote mis-
cellaneous matter at the direction of
the editors who employed her, and
she was past middle age when she
wrote her first novel, Jan Vodder's
Wife," She might never have attemp-
ted novel except that she was con-
fined to her room by broken ankle.

Exhibition Of club swinging.
For the evening, at 1890, there are
several items of intense interest that
have waited until this time. First of
all. the pupils Of the school in Grades
to VIII have been working for two
weeks in the sale of tickets to de-
termine the ownership of two pictures
that have been offered, one to the v
and vi grade rooms, and the other
to the upper floor pupils, and to be
decided by the room that had turned
in the most money from the sale OF
tickets. This announcement will be
made tonight by Mr.. Cortright, at the
close Of the program.
The girls of the VII and VIII grades
who have been having domestic
science with Miss Catherine Russell at
Wheeler school, will prove their abil-
ity to make home made candy and
cake, which will be served by the
Normal girls, along with contributions
Of similar nature by the Normal
girls Miss Russell, of the domestic
science department, has very kindly
set aside her program and given her
practical attention to the needs of the
girls for the present week.
One item of strong interest has to
do with the art work Of 18 of the Nor
NAL School students, each OF whom
developed and executed an original art
poster These have been used to fur
Their the interests of the exhibit in the
windows of the business places OF the
North End. They have been collected
and are now on exhibition. and will be
offered for sale as a regular part OF
the evenings entertainment. From
rumors which Nave drifted into the
school from the admirers of the Nor
NAL girls, there will be spirited bid
ding to possess these individual works
of art
The evening program Is in the hands
Of the Normal girls entirely. The
living representation Of the master
pieces on Wednesday night was such a
decided success that all are looking
forward with great expectations to the
other group in this same line of work
for tonight. The program will he
given as follows, promptly at 1880:
