THIS DEMOCRAT KNOWS
 INITIATIVE LAW WRONG

If other counties voted as did this county on theinitiative and referendum measures proposed on the ballot last Tuesday all these laws were defeated by heavy majorities. While some of the measures may have had some merit it is perhaps just as we'll that they were all beaten. The initiative was never intended to be used except when the people could not get the laws passed by legislatures which they de- sired. The provision of the constitu- tion providing for the initiation of laws should be amended so that an in itiated measure could not be submit ted to the people until after it was first submitted to legislature for ac- ton. The Daily International was opposed to putting the initiative pro- vision in the constitution and we have never agreed that it was a good way to legislate. The people do not vote on initiated or referendum measures because they have no opportunity to study the proposed laws and not knowing what they provide pass them up without expression, thus allowing very small percentage of the voters of the state to pass laws as they may have special and selfish interest in.- Douglas International.
 About every thinking man or wo- man has come to the same conclusion and realizes the system is bad for all concerned.

REPUBLICANS TO HAVE
 293 LOWER HOUSE MEMBERS

Republican victory in three con. gressional districts, two now repre-. sented by democrats-the Fifth Mis-. souri, Eighth Minnesota and the 23rt New York-assured with the receipt of the last belated returns, determined definitely the lineup of the house ot representatives after March 4, next according to unofficial returns.
 The republicans will have 293 rep resentatives in the house to 138 dem ocrats. The other four, of the 435 members, include one socialist, one in dependent, one independent-prohibi- tionist, and one independent-republi- can. The figures represent a ret gain for the republicans of 61 members and a loss to the democrats of 52. The present congress contains an equal number of miscellaneous members four, with 232 republicans and 19C democrats.

U. 5. SUPREME COURT SAYS
 BOOZE MAY BE MOVED

WASHINGTON. Storage of law fully acquired liquors in commercial warehouses and the transportation of such stocks to the home of the owner is not prohibited by the Volstead act under the decision handed down by the supreme court. In passing upon the appeal of William G. Street, of New York, from decisions of lower courts refusing to enjoin internal rev. enue officials from seizing liquors that had been placed in room rented from a safe deposit company, the supreme court reversed the lower court and held that the injunction should be granted.
 The effect of this ruling has not been fully appraised by internal rev. enue and prohibition enforcement off, ficials. The belief was expressed, however, that the result might be the release of some ten million gallons of intoxicating beverages stored in ware houses since January 16. 1920.
 Records on file here show that in addition to immense quantities of liquors purchased and stored by indi- vidual consumers there were in stor- age when the Volstead act became ef- fective large stocks held by hotels and restaurants as reserves. Whether these latter stocks came within the ruling has not been determined. It was anticipated that a test case would be filed soon on this and similar ques-

ASH FORK so PROSPEROUS
 SCHOOL OVERCROWDED

ASH FORK.-"There was an old lady who lived in a shoe; she had so many children she didn't know what to do." Teachers in Ash Fork schools realize the tragedy as we'll as the hu- nor of the old nursery rhyme, for they are having a direct application of it in their own school. The Ash Fork school is composed of only one building, as most schools are, but the difficulty is that the building is com posed of only one room. And in this one room there are S1 pupils and 8 teachers, according to figures given out by County School Superintendent w. Curtis Miller. With 52 of theses8f children in the first and second grades separate morning and afternoon ses- sions are of necessity. Thus the de- sire of Miss Emma Brosan and the other two teachers that bond issue providing more school room will be voted is easy to understand.

OKLAHOMA SENDS
 ONLY WOMAN REPUB-
 LICAN TO CONGRESS

MUSKOGEE, OKLA.-Miss Alice Robertson, farmer, cafeteria owner and the only congresswoman-elec ir i the United States, sat in her little res. taurant last night, planning the menu for the next days monday meal.
 "I think I should celebrate my owr election by preparing some extra fruit salad and fried chicken" she said, as she typed the bill of fare. Then she turned again to politics. and shook hands with many who came to con- graduate her on her victory over w, w. Hastings, democrat, who has rep resented the second congressional dis trict since 1914.
 "Miss Alice" known over the state as the most picturesque character in Oklahoma, made the race for congress although she was opposed to and worked actively against the woman suffrage amendment.
 "The men have thrust the vote on us. Now Pm going to see if they mean it," she said, when she announc- ed her candidacy.
 "I guess they did" she concluded, when figures telling of her election were brought to her.
 The story of Miss Robertson's life, which began in a little Indian mis- sion ten miles from here, 65 years ago, is the story of a sacrifice by a woman for the betterment of the In- dian tribes here.
 Her father came to the old Indian territory in 1849, when the cry of "gold" was heard from California. But his mission was not one of wealth. "My father came to be a good citizen for the new country" she said.
 Her victory was by 273 votes, out of approximately 50,000 ballots cast.
 Miss Alice's" campaign here was similar to President-elect Harding's, but instead of being conducted on her "front porch," it was conducted in her cafeteria.
 Whenever a man or woman went there to eat, she sat down at the table and talked it over." She also ran lads" in the daily papers proclaiming the days menu, giving Biblical quota tions, and advancing political argu- ments. The lads" rivaled even the news columns for their interest.

 Iowa's corn crop is the largest of any state at Al ,660, ,000 bushels. Illi- nois ranks second with 2,634, 900 bushels and Nebraska, third with 250,- 998,000 bushels.
 The tobacco crop this year, placed at 1,476, ,444, ,0O0 pounds by the prelim- mary estimate, is 87,0O0, ,000 pounds more than grown last year when all previous records were broken.

 Production of rice this year exceeds by 12,000,000 bushels the previous largest crop in 1917. The output this year is placed at 52,298,0O0 bushels almost half of which was grown in Louisiana.
 The sweet potato harvest will show 105 5,676,0 ,000 bushels, which is 2,000,0 bushels more than grown last year when the crop exceeded all previous years production. Alabama's output is larger than any other state. The crop of years this year is placed at 5,558 900 bushels. The previous larg- est crop was that of 1917 when 13,- 281 900 bushels were produced. Cal ifornia produced more than 5000, 900 bushels, while New York's production is almost 2,250,000 bushels.

Kansas City Stock Yards,
 November 8, 1920. Following last weeks decrease in live stock owing to election Tuesday the movement is getting under way again. Today cattle receipts were lib- eral and prices were weak to uneven ly lower. The big per cent of the of ferings was stocker and feeders. Hogs were 10 to 15 cents lower, though at the decline trade was active. Sheep and lambs sold slowly at weak prices.
 TOday's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 27,000 cattle, 10,500 hogs and 10000 sheep, com pared with 13,000 cattle, 6500 hogs and 7500 sheep last week, and Al, ,725 cattle, 12,560 hogs and II, 400 sheep year ago.
 Beef Cattle.
 In proportion to total receipts of cattle, fat grades were in relatively, small supply. Killers, however, took their time to trade and bought slowly. at tsteady to 25 cents lower prices The cheaper classes were about steady and fair to good grass fat steers, cows and heifers showed the decline, Short fed grades sold slowly. No full fed steers arrived. The bulk of the cows came from the range country. Some short fed heifers sold at SLIGO to $12.50 and were nearly steady. Veal calves were 50 cents to $1.0O. lower and bulls weak to 25 cents low CT.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Thin cattle were offered freely and prices ruled 25 to 35 cents lower. The big part of the stockers and feeders came from Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, and at the decline the mar ket showed an excellent buying oppor- tunity. Quality is the best of the sea- son, and most of the offerings are in the best of condition to turn on feed or cafry through the winter. Sheep and Lambs. Trade in the sheep division opened slowly at weak prices, and later some sales were down 25 cents. Most of the fat lambs sold at $12.0O to $12.5O, yearlings 5000 to $10.50, and feed ing lambs $11.00 to $11.50. A good many short fed sheep and lambs are coming.
