board that all amendments had
passed was based on a thorough
and conclusive opinion by At
torney General William LANCER.
He cites for instance, a decis-
ion of the North Dakota SUI
preme court written by Judge
Spaulding in 1908, or seven years
before the Nonpartisan league
was conceived of, holding that
the phrase of the constitution,
"all the legal votes cast" means
all the votes cast on the amend
ment. The court held that no le-
gal vote could be cast relative to
a measure before the people for
adoption or rejection except it
was cast for or against the
amendment.
In other words, no vote cast
for governor or any other can
didate or measure could possibly
be a vote against the amend
ment under consideration. Such
is the only reasonable and dem
ocratic Interpretation that could
be put on the phrase. What the
special interests put over in
Minnesota, on the other hand,
which is made so much of by the
press, is we'll illustrated by the
vote there on the initiative and
referendum in 1916. Although
tbs measure received a majority
of three to one on those voting,
it did not become a law. Again in
1918 the people returned a ma
Tjorty for prohibition, but this
again failed because of the alb.
surd court ruling in that privil-
eye ridden state.

Motor Truck Routes A Success
Postmaster General Burle-
sons annual report is of special
interest in that it contains data
on the result of six months ex-
perimentation with motor truck
delivery between farmers and
the town. 1t has been a great
success and only intelligent an
tion by congress is needed to
give this great new service to
the people. On the eight expert
mental routes established, the
average gross profit from the
service was 5,524.71 per route
for six months, and the cost
SIS, 1876 Secretary Burleson
also points out that the army
can soon turn over to the post
office department at least 10000
army trucks for this work, and
as many returned soldiers who
would like such work can be as
sured the employment.

MOTOR TRUCK SERVICE.

The recently issued annual report of the post
master general of the United States has a mes
sage of great Importance to the common people
and of especially great Importance to the farm
er. This report tells how the posto11lce depaIt-
ment has been experimenting with motor trucks
to carry farm produce as we'll as mail to the
town and the unqualified success of the exper-
iments.
With charges sufficiently low to make it
worth while for the farmer to send in his pro-
duce. and for the city man to go to the incon-
v%enience of the new form of marketing, the
new system has been operated at big profit.
During the six months covered by the report,
when eight star routes were operated, the to-
tai revenue was $204, 1883 and the total ex-
pense only SAL, 110.O8. Calculated on the year
ly basis the results would give an annual ex-
pense of $1O,277.52 per route and a net profit
per route of $40,772.O8.
Within a few months a large number of army
trucks can be released for this service, if con-
gress provides the postmaster general with pow
er to 20 ahead. The total number that can be
thus shifted from one branch of the govern
ment service to the other is not less than 90
600, enough to make a big impression on mar
keting conditions in the United States. The new
service will also offer attractive employment to
as many returned soldiers.
What will congress do? The issue is plainly
before it and it must decide between those who
profit by things as they are and this new i'm
provement. It is not a sweeping improvement
to be sure. At best it gives the farmer more of
the local market and the townsman cheaper
produce, but even this will cut into some vest
ed interests. Congress can not keep it a mere
experiment on the plea that suitable roads must
be built, for there are at least 10000 miles of
improved highway available and several thous-
and localities in which lateral or feeder routes
in productive territory can be operated through.

Said to Be Sure Cure
for the Pneumonia

A remedy for pneumonia has
been sent out from the office of
the surgeon general of the u. s.
at Washington. d. c., which is
said by the government authori-
ties to be an absolute cure.
The formula has been sent to
all hospitals. to military camps
and to all government officers.
Tests are declared to have proven
its efficiency.
The remedy is so simple that
all afflicted can use it Here is
what the government advises:
Saturate a ball of cotton as
large as one-inch marble, with
spirits of alcohol. Add three
drops of chloroform to each ball
of cotton. Place it between the
patients teeth. Let the patient
inhale the fumes for Is minutes,
or longer, if needed. Then in
hale again Is minutes, and re-
peat the operation as directed "a
times.
The result will be that the
lungs will expand to their nor
NAL condition. In "a hours the
patient is out of danger. Change
the cotton often. It ought to be
changed twice III Is minutes"
When Col. John C. w. Brooks,
commandant at Carnegie Insti-
tute of Technology, Pittsburg,
was asked whether he had seen
the above formula, he said:
Yes, l received a copy from
the United States surgeon gen
eral, and believe it will prove
very effective. 1t WILL BE A
WONDERFUL THING in my
opinion, and upon receipt of the
formula, | Immediately sent it
to all local hospitals. Of course,
we cannot yet say what effect it
has had here, but have been
informed from Washington, D.
c., that the authorities there
have no doubt as to the results
to be obtained from the treat
ment.'

An all-Arizona meal for all
Arizona is the unique idea ad-

ministration for this state for a
Thanksgiving dinner. Every
dish served should be composed
entirely of Arizona products.
This means an actual conser-
walton of thousands of dollars
which ordinarily would be ex-
pended in the shipping of food
commodities outside of the state.
In the coming observance Ari-
zona has an opportunity to show
the world thaC it is entirely self
supporting.
The hotel and restaurant di-
vision has taken an active inter-
est in advancing the idea and
has prepared a special Thanks
giving menu, which it is hoped
to have adopted by all eating es-
adjustments in the state, with
such notifications as are neces-
sary to meet local conditions.
Here is the official menu:
Arizona Grape Fruit Supreme
Cream of Chicken
Arizona Blue Ribbon Celery
Arizona Ripe Olives
Chicken Patties
Roast Salt River Valley Turkey
Arizona Currant Jelly
Roast Salt River Valley Goose
Arizona Baked Apple
(Choice of one)

JOSEPH F. Smith, PRESI-
DENT OF The |. d..
CHURCH, DEAD

OaAS AeAhS SlNyg ~ IcAAAy 4NONs 1Js
Joseph Fielding Smith, presi-
dent of the Church of Jesus
Christ, Latter Day Saints, died
at his home here early today
after long illness. Death was
due indirectly to a paralytic
stroke which he suffered last
April. Notwithstanding his i'll
ness President Smith attended
the semi-annual conference of
the church held the first week
of October.
Deceased was 80 years old on
the 18th day of the present
month. He was a son of Hyrum
Smith and a nephew of Prophet
Joseph Smith.
Aside from his religious ac-
tivities, President Smith was
several times a member of the
Utah state legislature and of the
city council of Salt Lake City.
He was a widely travelled man,
having made many trips to Eu-
rope. In 1874 he was sent to
England as missionary and was
so active with his church's propa-
ganda that his work attracted
wide attention.
Grant Is Successor.
Salt Lake City, Nov. 10. He
Der j. Grant, president of the
quorum of twelve apostles of the
L. d. S. church, today automati-
cally became president of the
church through the death of Jo-
seph F. Smith. Ratification of
his succession probably will not
take place, however, until the
next general conference of the
church to be held here in April
next year.
Owing to the influenza cpl
demic, private funeral services
will be held for the late Presi-
dent Smith. Final arrangements
for the funeral had not been con-
cluded today but Friday was
tentatively decided upon.
President Smith leaves to
mourn his death, besides his
nearest kin, many relatives in
Utah and Arizona, several of his
cousins being residents of Snow
flake, and a large number of
sorrowing friends of all religious
denominations in different parts
of the country.
