Where Are We Drifting.

Editor Star: If you will give me
space / will give my views on what
think the next legislature ought to do.
In the first place we have already two
candidates for the legislature. Not
one of them has told the people what
he would try to do for them. One
candidate, Senator Johnson, of Scott
county, who has served two regular
sessions and two or three special ses-
sions. | am sick and tired of seeing
our Legislature put the emergency
clause on every little bill they pass.
Now did you just stop to think that
the emergency clause, when it is at
tached to a bill, kills the referendum
Something the people have been about
40 years gettinf on the statute books,
something they needed they ought to
40 years getting on the statute books,
Now don't think that is Democrat
ic. Let the people rule That is one
of the principles of our form Of gov
eminent.
There is another thing | would like
to see done, and that is / would like
to see some law passed in some way to
take the power away from the govern
or to put check on pardoning of all
kinds of criminals. Take for instance
the pardoning of all the criminals in
the Stacker cases down near Hatton.
Two years ago when they took the law
in their own hands and the result was
one of our best citizens lost his life,
which was Charles Kirkland, if it had
not been for the vigilance of Judge
Finger, who was then sheriff of Polk
county, there is no telling how many
more would have been killed. Other
states have pardoning boards. Say
let the governor be one of them: let
the board consist of three men. or two
men and one woman. Let them be
elected by the people; get their pay
when they are on duty. 1t is dis
heartening to the juries Of our coun-
ty. The time will come when iuries
will think that it is no use to convict
and then let the governor pardon the
rascals. Now in regard to some other
things. Our state is getting in a bad
fix financially. | understand our state
is in debt near Eight Million Dollars.
II that be so the legislature is to
blame. They appropriated too much
money. They are too extravagant
with appropriations We need money
to run our state, but not more than
the people are able to pay. IF it keeps
on our state will look like thirty cents.
Such extravaganza will drive immi-
grafton away from our state. Money
will not go where a state is over
whelmed in debt. Take the state of
Missouri, which has about 10 or II
million to its credit. We ought to
take lessons and be governed accord
ingly. 1t is time to call halt and
see where we are drifting, and where
the old ship of state is going. 1t is
not Democratic to run our state in
debt. The farmer is paying more
than he is able to pay. Better call a
halt before it is too late.

OUR FORESTS GOING

The United States faces the most
serious paper famine in its history.
Despite the immense forest wealth
which once spread over the continent.
there IS not enough wood left TODAY to
make paper for our needs. and the
situation is growing worse. The for
ests of New England and New York
viii last at the present rate only
seventeen years longer. The forests
OF the Middle West will last only
eighteen years. Most of our suppIv
to-day comes from Canada, and mil
hons Of dollars are paid for the sun
ply. The United States has only one
territory left in reserve, Alaska. It
VIII not be possible to utilize this
supply for years. 1t is hoped that W.
have learned our lesson from the
wasteful habits we have developed
and will cut the forests of Alaska in
diligently. In Europe forest Is
made to yield for centuries without
beng seriously cut away.-June Bows
