REFERENDUM POPULAR

In many counties of the state there
is not much interest being taken in
the position of submitting number of
measures passed by the last session
of the Legislature. to the people for
approval or rejection.
To date, the Judicial re-districting
bill has received more signers than
any other of the bills passed during
the session. This is due to the fact
that it is one of the most fragrant at
temDts to set aside the expressed will
of the people and deprive a number of
Circuit Judges in the state of the
emoluments of an office to which they
were elected under the constitution
and laws of the state, that has ever
been attempted since the days of car
pet-bag government. This measure is
not being regarded by the people of
the state who believe that the voice of
the people is the supreme law, as po-
litical question. They regard it in its
true light which is an attempt to do
by an act of the legislature in an indi-
rect way that which could not be done
in a straightforward constitutional
way. The constitution provides how
circuit judges may be removed from
office the same as it provides for the
removal from office of other elective
officers and that is by impeachment.
The people of the state who see
straight and who think for themselves;
realize the danger of establishing such
precedent and that is why many peo-
pie are ignoring party lines and ask
ing for a submission of the act to the
people before it is allowed to go into
effect.
Looking at the question of submit
ting all of the measures agreed upon
by recent conference of Democrats,
from purely partisan viewpoint, we
seriously doubt the wisdom of submit
ting all of the bills agreed upon, to a
referendum vote. We believe that a
number Of them will, if permitted to
go into effect, prove to be unpopular
and react to the detriment Of the par
ty that is responsible for their passage.
This, however, is partisan view Of
the situation. Laying aside partisan
prejudice and partisan preference and
looking at the question Of submission
solely as one who wants that which is
best for the state and the people Of
the state as these questions should be
considered, we think that next in inn
portance to preventing the expressed
viii of the people from being set aside
Is the measure known as the Budget
bill. This bill, if it becomes effective,
will affect directly every tax-psying
citizen Of the state. II Is such rad
jcal change to the methods pursued IN

MISSOURI WHEAT FORECAST
TO BE 1920, 900 BUSHELS

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 9.-The
state and federal cooperative crop re-
port, to be issued here Tuesday, will
show Missouri wheat acreage for har-
vest at 2,764,000 acres, with condi-
ton of 81, indicating a yield of 1929
bushels per acre, or a state total of
42,262,000. The report will also give
aggregates by counties and indicated
yield per acre by counties.
The acreage and condition of oats,
together with the effect of April
weather upon corn planting, will be
discussed. Losses of livestock, present
health conditions, losses to fruit and
gardens will be given. Probable acre
age of hay, both tame and wild, and
the condition of all hay at the present
time will be shown by counties. Re-
turns indicate larger stocks of old
hay on hand than usual.

the past, that 1t ought to be subjected
to the most careful study and analysis
possible before it becomes effective.
If it can win upon its merits well ana
good, let US have it. But in the very
beginning, the measure calls for an
appropriation that is far in excess Sf
what it has cost in the past for the
satisfactory functioning Of our state
government. With the increased val
uation of property without corre-
spending decrease in the rate of taxa
ton, taxes are going to be higher in
Missouri than. they have been in years,
If the Budget bill isn't worth to US
the extra amount that it is going to
cost, we don't want it regardless of
who stands sponsor for it.
The best way to arrive at an intel
ligent decision about its merits or de-
merits is to submit it to the people for
their consideration. The constitution
of our state provides for doing SO on
any legislative measure that is of
doubtful value.--Cape Girardeau Sun.

SOME SURPRISES THAT
MAY NOT SURPRISE YOU

Mile was having some troubles
with her little old geography lessons
and SO the busy editor picked up the
book and tried to help her bit.
This led to more extensive exam
nation of the maps and the said edi-
tor learned some things that rather
surprised him. For instance, he found
that the Panama Canal was exactly
south of Buffalo. The western point
of Alaska is farther west than the
Hawaiian Islands. Travelling from
one corner of Texas to the farthest
corner is as far from the northeast
corner of Texas to Duluth, way up
there on Lake Superior. The great
est length of California is the same
distance as from New York City to
the Mississippi river! The eastern
most point of Mexico is directly south
of the state of Indiana, and you can
almost jump from it over on to the is
land of Cuba. Some country of itself,
that same mexico.
We usually think Of the Gulf of Cal
ifornia as an arm of the Pacific ocean
and therefore "farthest vest, yet
part of its mouth is about south of
Denver. Mild British Columbia is as
far north as Labrador. which eastern
folks look upon as the last word in ze-
no weather. South Alaska is in the
same latitude as south Greenland.
You grow wheat, vegetables and wear
Palm Beach pants in the first; the ice
and snow never melts in the latter.
Lake Winnipeg, which you rarely hear
about, is as big as Lake Erie.
When a man has left school 10 or
20 or 80 years and has spent his time
doing anything else but teaching, it is
amazing how much learning he has
lost. The foregoing geographic facts
about our own continent lies before us
wherever we look at a map and yet
the majority of us are greatly sur
prised when we come across them.
But the fact is we were all taught
them once; they have simply slipped
from us.
Next time you meet a geography,
get acquainted with it and you'll pick
up lot of surprises.

GO GET A THRILL, FELLERs

We wonder how many of you grown
up men have been down to the old
swimmin' hole yet this spring-not to
swim but to take a long, lingering
look, while the recollections of ages
ago come crowding back to you, a
thousand in brief few minutes.
The editor has been down at his'n-
in fact, he took in the three or four
ole swimmin' holes that the gang used
to frequent alternately. He had al
most forgotten the shady pool in the
creek. Well, it was always shallow,
and warm and too blamed safe and
sane to give any boy lasting i'm
preston.
We fingered longest at the quarry"
You bet. That was the place-oh,
boy! That was the hole, for swimming
purposes, of all other holes because
the folks were always warning US
against it. The old quarry had sew
eral fine, robust springs in it, almost
as cold as ice, and what boy is there
that doesn't know the delicious dan
ger of sudden current Of cold water
curling about his warm legs. Then
there was that deep hole over to one
side that the quarrymen had blasted
down Is feet until they hit a big
spring as thick as your wrist that
stopped further work at that point
You remember, Bill Martin stepped
into that hole one night to swim across
it and he never came up-not alive!
And you will never forget the eve
ming when you got cramp right at
the same SPOT and Jess Bakeley stuck
a pole over to you and pulled you out
And, dye remember. that baby-faced
Jones kid ran down to the corners and
told about it. and you staggered into
the yard later you remember mother
met you at the gate with drawn
scared face and kissed you. And how
you had expected her to say, "Sam
don't you dare to go to that quarry
any more" But she didn't. And since
then you got to understand that she
knew you would be a man some day
and had to take risks, and that you

officer in the State could interfere.
Not only is this true, but the same
would be true respecting the expendi-
ture of the Federal Aid Fund, which
would be S35, 900, should the $780,
100000 be expended the budget com
missioner would in that event control
the expenditure of $95,000,000 for
roads. The 51st General Assembly
has appropriated over $30,000,000 for
state purposes. Add this to the $685.
100000, which would be available if
the $60,000,000 bond issue should be
made effective, and we would have
this Autocrat of the Budget in con-
troll of the disbursement of $125,000,-
900.
1t is necessary, in considering this
Infamous measure, to bear in mind
that it is stated in the Republican in
ner circles that Governor Hyde con-
templates the appointment of an ex-
pert campaign fund raiser as budget
commissioner, if the budget bill
should not be taken into the referen-
dunn. What kind of campaign fund
do you imagine this gentleman would
raise for the Republican party, if he
were put in control of the expenditure
of $125,000? The mere suggestion is
scandalous and the whole plan is I'M
thinkable, but the facts are there.
You taxpayers have remedy. That
remedy is to join with the Democratic
state organization and invoke the ref
erendum upon this bill. Hunt up the
circulators of the referendum peti.
tons in your county and let your sig.
nature go upon the petitions, as pro
test against this measure. Let US take
it to the people and let the people de
eide whether they want any such one
man control over the money paid int
the Golfers of the State by the tax
payers Of every class, and in eacl
city, town and hamlet and every coun
ty in the state.

unique situations in the history of
the sport. After twenty-three min

made a flying leap at the forty

to clamp on one of his famous head

were perspiring freely. Lewis arm
slipped over and off the round:
slippery head, and before he
could recover, Zybsko was on top
of him with a winning neck lock.
