Revision of Election Laws

There is no more urgent need of legislation than
that introduced by Mr.. Baxter of Marcopa yesterday
for the correction Of election laws. We suppose
code in that respect bad any in the union
1t could not well be Much of the old law
in force before the Australian ballot system still

did not realize until the present gubernatoria

inappicable laws We have patchwork of provisions.
adopted from time time and the Whole system was
made, If possible. still by the revision of the
code where things thrown together hggledy
piggedy in the seventy pages occupied by the code
That election officers have made many mistakes
is not wonderful but that they have made few is
miraculous
The amendments proposed in the four bills intro
duced by Mr. Baxter cut great deal of dead and

vote in each house to attach the emergency clause
Without that clause California dealers could in

of the law for two years.
Last spring The Republican urged the friends of
prohibition everywhere in the that only
candidates for the legislature friendly prohibition

been done in nearly county in the state but

that is only probability.

we have always. found the men of
wyoming standing shoulder to shoul-
der behind this public spirited work,
and In our swing around the circle
am very glad we have reached the
nospitable city of Cheyenne
The fearful tragedy through which
Europe is passing today has tended
to upset economic conditions through
out the world and is behooves us
at this time very carefully to study
the conditions of our own great in
dustry | say great advisedly; for
II is fact that the live stock bust
ness of this country today, in all it's
branches, including the production,
feeding, slauehtering, and marketing
of live stock, is by far our greatest
national industry from the stand
point of dollars invested. 1t is also
an industry in which more people
are employed than in any other in this
nation. In view of the Importance
and magnitude of this most ancient
OF human industries, the just solu
ton along the lines Of greatest eco
nomic efficiency of the practical prob
is not only necessary to these of US
VINO make business of stock pro-
duction and feeding, but naturally
affects the welfare of the entire ma
ton. When we consider that exclu-
sve of China, the United States is
today producing over one-third of the
meat consumed in the civilized world.
and when we stop to think that dur
ing the past year the receipts of live
stock at the six principal western
markets-Chicago Kansas City. Oma-
ha st. Louis, st. Joseph and Sioux
City-have exceeded 100000 cattle.
22.50O,OOO hogs, and 1900, 900 sheep,
we get some conception of the i'm
mensity of the business in which we
are engaged.
In view Of the VastneSs Of our
Industry, it is but natural that we
should be confronted with big prob
lens the proper solution of which
means much, not only to us as in
di:iduals, but to the communities in
which we conduct our business; and
II Is particularly essential that we
should approach these problems as we
nave always done. with justice. the
SIP rit of fair 1ealing, and an earnest
sire never to forget that those
things for which we work must al
ways square up with the public well
fare.
During this convention MANY of
these problems will be thoroughly
discussed by men who have given
these questions special study, and
who have a thorough. practical ex-
perience with them and | trust that
every stockman here will make it
his business, not only to be on hand
promptly at every session Of this
convention, but to do his utmost
to remain throughout every session.
In this annual statement l shall
briefly review the general conditions
of orr industry. something of the
work of the standing committees of
the association and its officers, and
shall outline what seem to be con-
structive methods for the solution OF
some of the vital questions confront
ing us.

An Intended Attack On Prohibition

Unless there is majority of members of each of the
houses of the legislature in sympathy with the prohibit
ton amendment adopted last November there grave
danger that the state will fall back upon the
first prohibition amendment and itself confronted
again by personal use conditions. unless the
majority in each house decisive there will be no
way to avert that condition for another two years
Even the first prohibition amendment is subject to
attack.
The California wholesale liquor dealers are said to
have raised fund to attack the amendment on the
ground that it was not voted by the people; that
the people had no opportunity for was
not placed the ballot paragraph 1929 of the re-
vlsed statutes requires such measures to be- that
only the title of the measure printed on the
ballot That il physically impossible to prepare
ballot conforming to the requirements of that para
graph some attorneys say, will cut no figure The
liquor dealers said be fortified by a decision
by the Michigan supreme court
There is contrary opinion that elsewhere the
constitution and the statutes nufy the language of
Paragraph 1929 permit the printing of submitted
measures on the ballots by title only At any rate
however. it is said that prohibition amendments

discussion of the subject it may be assumed that the
attack will be made and that it may be successful
This assault may be forstalled by legislative

AS those OF you who attended our
last annual convention at FL Paso will
remember. the subject which most in
toresteG the convention was that of
the marketing of live stock. 1t was
shown by the live stock feeders of the
Mississippi valley that something was
radically out of tune in the marketing
Oh llVe stock at the central markets:
that competition for the purchase of
live stock on the hoof was steadily
disappearing; that many practices en-
ployed at the stock yards were de-
termlned to the stock shipper: that
the power Of the packers was growing
enormously: and that some definite
levcl-headed action should be taken to
the end that this market situation
might be thoroughly studied, and in
telilgent, constructive methods out
lined for its improvement. Definite
resolutions were passed by the con-
vention relative to those unsatisfac-
tory conditions, asking that the asso-
citation devise ways and means for
| their improvement, and requesting
! tn" president of the association to ap-
point special committee to De known
as the market committee to make d
thorough and impartial study of the
whole marketing question and outline
definite plans for reform.
Il realized fully the important duty
involved in the appointment of this
committee. and, after very careful
consideration. named as your market
committee. Mr.. Henry A. Jastro. of

energy and efficiency shown by these

Three years ago while student at the Art Inst-
tute, Chin Yuk Sun met Fannie King, also student.
Their work brought them together a great deal and
they became very well acquainted But he left the
following year for his annual trip to China, where
he first studied to be san artist.
When he returned to Chicago he could locate
Miss King. but Fate kind to him, he saw
an article in the paper that told of the great work
that he was doing in the large hotels and stores in
Chicago, and she went and found him and then the
romance started They took out a license and were
married few days ago.

1t didn't trouble. him at all that a lot of

So Buster Bear shuffied off in the di-

good nature quite restored Meanwhile

Bobby Coon was hunting for a place to

Buster Bear Regains His Lost
Temper.

Gone was Peter Rabbit and gone
was Bobby Coon. Buster Bear knew
we'll enough that there wasn't the least
use in trying to follow either one of
them He knew he couldn't catch Pc
ter and he didn't know where Bobby
Coon had gone. He might just as well
forget that he ever had laid eyes on
them. OF course. all this didn't i'm
prove Buster Bears temper bit. 1t
made it worse if anything. Deep down
in his throat Buster Bear growled
grurbly. rumbly growls as he shuffied
along back to the tall, old stump in
which he had found Bobby Coon. He
might as well have look at that
stump while he was there. he' thought.
OF course. Bobby Coon had eaten up
any food that might have been in it,
but anyway, he would look.
Now Bobby Coon hadn't done any
thing of the kind, as you and know.
In the first place. when he had climbed
into that hollow stump his stomach had
been too full of fish caught in the
Laughing Brook for him to even think
of eating. In the second place, he was
too sleepy. All he had thought of or
wanted in that old stump was n place
to sleep SO he hadn't even dug over
the surface of the rotted wood at the
bottom to see what might be in it.
This Buster Bear found out as soon
as he got back to the old stump and
looked at it For minute he was
ashamed 10 think he had treated Bob
by AZ least a look of shame crept
over his face. Then. he eagerly began
10 tear that stump all TO pieces with
his great claws He tore out all that
rotted wood at the bottom. and in it he
