The people of India afford uncom-

own automobiles, while in nearby

four hunderd inches. The record
rainfall is over nine hundred inches
and the record of the heaviest rain
fall in twenty-four hours is forty

pie residing on the plains of that
country, while in the evening he
spoke of the work being done among
the people living in the hills.
In the afternoon, services We're

A CrOunllCSs RunOr,

A report is flying around the streets
that the gentlemen who procured the
services of well known Bes Moines
firm to examine the central schoo!
building and make estimates of cost
ui repairs that would put the structure
in satisfactory shape and get past the
scrutiny of the state fire marshal, have
received the desired information, but
that it is entirely unsatisfactory, as
the cost is much higher than it was
expected it would be. 1t is also said
that the gentlemen in charge refuse to
let the public know what report the
architects and contractors made. The
Freeman-J Journal doesn't believe these
rumors. The gentlemen who procured
the services of the experts to examine
the property did so because, in their
opinion, the board Of directors and the
chamber of commerce were trying to
deceive the public; that they had
hand picked" men come here to eX-
anime the property with the under
standing that it was to be condemned.
etc ThiSbcing the situation, the gen.
tlemen who thought the public should
have more reliable information and
secured men to ascertain the facts will
no doubt give the facts to the public
as soon as they get them. They are
not the ones to throw out camouilage
to fool the people. Hence the Free
man. Journal doesn't believe the ru-
mors to the effect that they have re-
ceived a report which they refuse to
make public.

The Three Initiatives

In the midst of the great world changes that are
tumbng over one another, our read justments at
home in the forward march very often seem trivial.
Compared with the almost inconceivable suffer
ings and wrongs which democracys brave people IN
blood-soaked Europe have endured, and which must
be righted by the force of Americans arms, the III
justices and flaws in system OF life at home
seem to vanish almost into thin air.
Yet they are with us just the same. And we can
not afford to overlook neglect them just as the
fighters in our army, to be most effective must be
physically and morally sound, so must we as a ma
ton keep constantly stamping out our defects II we
would take our place at the front, marching ahead
to sure and speedy victory.
The three initiative measures filed today with
the secretary of state remedies for three OF these
defects, offered to us by home hospital corps.
The measure legalizing peaceful picketing is to
stamp out the of the courts which have over
ridden the expressed will of the people and have as
sumed high-handed authority by injunction.
Another measure, authorizing municipal cor
porations to produce, market and distribute food
ting out the profiteering abscess.
A third measure provides for non-partisan pri-
mary elections. 1t is tonic guaranteed to build up
the tissues of our political organism by providing
of voting for efficient leaders regardless OF
labels
Every one of these measures, means greater
strength and greater unity of purpose and action.
Each one needs the signatures OF thousands OF
voters in the state before it can be put into effect
Attach your John Henry, Mr.. Voter. Keep the
state of Washington fit for the front in the big
world showdown.
