The paterOs reporter makes a good
point in this discussion Of tax reduc-
ton by the suggestion that some
measure should be provided to head
off the practice of indiscrin,inate re-
sort to the initiative and referendum
at every general election. This meas
ure that has for its aim the initiation
Of desired laws that aim to the ad-
vantage OF the people of the state as
whole, and which legislature has
refused or failed to enact into law,
and the referendum, which puts 1t up
to the electorate whether to repudiate
some law that has been enacted by the
legislature, may be all right in theory
but It certainly has been abused in
this state in practice. Laws have been
passed that some individuals or
classes have opposed and at once pc
titions are placed in circulation to
have them submitted to the voters for
adoption or rejection Other laws nave
been proposed through the initiative
by people who have an object in view
in having the laws passed 1t is only
necessary to secure comparatively
small number of signers to these petit
tons In order to place them on the
ballot, for experience has shown that
people will sign petitions presented to
them for signature without the trouble
to familiarize themselves VITA the
contents or object of the petitions.
Then these petitions must be checked
over to ascertain II the signers are
bona fide voters, all of which makes
vast amount of work, and public
work costs much money. II the law

Preparations for the regular August
sales have been about completed by
several large retailers. A steady de-
mand for furs for this occasion Is be-

stores. Manufacturers have been greatly
encouraged by the slowly changing at
titude of buyers. Retailers in the last
week or so have shown a greater in
clination to anticipate needs beyond
their immediate requirements. Prices
have not as yet been advanced. but one
manufacturer has informed his Gus
toners that there Is every likelihood
that prices on recorders may be in
creased in tho near future. The greater
part of the buying is being centered
on caracul. Hudson seal. natural musk
