REFERENDUM
AND RECALL
More or Less of Farce AS Viewed
in California by Wisconsin Cit-
zen

Those triple political innovations,
the initiative, referendum and recall.
now before the Wisconsin legislature,
are "a farce" as viewed by w. HI. Nc
Fetridge of Baraboo who went to San
Diego some six years ago for his
health. He is a cloth manufacturer, a
student of affairs, high type of the
sound, intelligent, progressive citizen.
His uncle, E. c. McFetridge, was once
state treasurer California, where the
per capita tax is the highest in the
union and the laws the most radical,
has the initiative, referendum and re-
call, and Mr.. McFetridge advises
caution" about them in Wisconsin.
II do not know what the provisions
are of the proposed Wisconsin law"
he writes under date of Feb. IA, ''but
if it leads to results similar to what
ours have been, should certainly adj
wise caution.
He has never been primarily pre-
JUDGED against measures or policies
merely because they appear to be
radical, but always tried to suspend
judgment, yet after some considerable
study of the proposed enactments
which were submitted to the Califor-
MIA electorate last fall-there were
think "a of them--I could not escape
the impression that the majority the
whole thing was more or less of a
farce"

avn In Scarcity OF Homes.

Much of the unrest of the country
is due to the scarcity Of homes, ac-
cording to F. Roger Miller, secretary
of the chamber of commerce., Macon.
Ga, who addressed the convention of
the National Association of CONNER
cial Organization Secretaries ut their
meeting In Chicago.
Marriages have continued at the
rate of 1,040,00O yearly In the United
States" he said. But in 1918 only
10000 new homes were erected, while
in 1919 the number OF new homes was
only 10000.
This home shortage is not due to
the war, but TO u neglect of the prin-
ciples and ideals OF our fo%refathers.
Out of every 100 Americans 60 are dis
c~ontented."
Mr.. Miller suggested placing M
housing problem upon "a community
basis, with opportunity for every man
to buy a home suitable TO his income,
and enactment Of bills TO provide fed
eral aid for home builders.

The Tide cityward.

The congestion Of population in
urban districs is an old complaint.
Il seems to be an inevitable conse-
quence Of u Industrial civilization,
and none of the schemes for check
ing 1t have proved effective. The
disclosure by the census that the
cities are growing seven and n half
times faster than the rural districts.
Is therefore no surprise. 1t Is not so
much that the cities have forged ahead
as that the country has fallen behind.
In the years from 1910 TO 1920. indeed.
the cities have gained only FIVE new
inhabitants where they gnlned six in
the preceding decade. But rural
growth Inns been only one-thlrd as
great.

MILK SUPPLY FOR CHICKENS

Poultrymen who have or can obtain

unable to include this valuable food

desirable for young chickens and for
the fattening of poultry, where it is
lone on a large scale and the poultry
is closely confined.
Buttermilk and skim milk are the
two forms of milk which are most
commonly used in feeding chicks and
laying hens, and these products are

quite extensively in the commercial
fattening of poultry and to some ex-

Milk products are readily ~digestible
by chickens and have u marked bene-
