OUR BUSINESS WOMEN

This designation of special national bus
mess women's week gives emphasis to fact
of development in our business and social
life that would not have been dreamed of
few generations ago. 1t is only a few decades
i'm fact almost within the memory of most of
u.s. that it was considered unusual to see Wo-
men engaged in any professions or occupa-
lions save those of housewife, salesladies in
a few stores, or teaching school or nursing.
Today there is scarcely an activity in which
they are not represented and their total
number in useful and gainful occupations
has kept growing steadily.
By actual demonstration the women have
disproved the old belief that they could not
do these things that men were doing. In fact,
they have demonstrated superiority in many
lines. Together with the distinct benefit &C
cruing to the women themselves from the in
dependence thus attained it must be said
that there have been advantages gained by
society, by industry, and by the professions
by the entrance of women into the various
fields.
Womens independence achieved thru this
entrance into mems sphere of activities has
added to her stature and viewpoint and out
look on life in general. She has enriched her
own life and also the life of the community
in which she lives. It is true that she has
stepped into business world largely found

tiation be limited to those matters
which have been presented to the
legislature and rejected by it, in
other words, to make it what it real
ly was intended to be, a safeguard
for use by the people if the legisla
ture failed to do its duty.
The only logical objection to the
plan is that it would delay action by
the people On matters OF moment, yet
this is no real objection. Two years
is long time for an individual but
it is only day in the life OF the
state. And besides, few issues would
have to wait that long for decision
by the people under the proposed
system.
The benefit arises from two major
sources. The first is the greater OPP
portunity which the people would
have to study initiative measures.
They would have to be before the
public for long time, at least from
the end of the legislative session
where the proposal was beaten to the
next election. Relatively few meas
ures could stand examination for so
long a period and any which did
would be good ones.
The second would be the elimina-
ton of inconsequential bills from the
initiative ballot. During the last year
the people have been forced to vote
upon multiplicity of measures. some
of them too insignificant to warrant
presentation of them to the public.
There are other arguments which
may be urged in favor of the idea
but most persons are prone to over
look one Of the most potent. This is
the present danger of building up
body Of law which is rigid in it's
character and unresponsive to the
public will
Take any one of the measures pass
ed this year for example. Under the
two-thirds majority of
each branch of the legislature is nee
eSsary to change them. Grant a
situation in which an initiated law
becomes burdensome and the people
might find their only recourse would
be to new initiative effort. Two
thirds majorities are difficult to get,
partly because members of the leg
iSlature hesitate to run counter to
public opinion, no matter when that
opinion was expressed.
Thus a political instrument which
was intended to make the law suf-
fluid to meet the public
needs may easily become a barrier to
governmental action.
Some protection should be thrown
around the initiative system. A re-
quirement that the legislature be
given first opportunity may point the
way.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 81. 1892

I ant a producer as Broadway nov
boasts; Snowman whose name has
become synonymous with 'class" and
who once sought to be knighted In
England. And out he comes with
the announcement that he has tied
up with Harry COINS Columbia Pic

concern which, just few years ago
was struggling along in the way OF
many an independent concern. Mil
Ter will enter pictures on tho profit
sharing and unit operating basis.
Surely, there is no more important

nor has there been.

ment taken the wind out of dozen

nouncement comes that David SELF

Meanwhile, I'm tipped to watch the
explosion in Paramount Pictures

on a merger affecting Fox films.
And so it has gone.

authority-that the old Roxy, the
name of which will doubtless be
changed, has already fallen into new
hands. The tip goes that Sam Katz,
once of Balaban and Katz, who broke
with Paramount in recent shake
up, has already taken the old Roxy
theater.
The information goes that a big
league vaudeville policy will be in
augurated at Is and SO cents to be-

the new Music Hall, which will
doubtless attract thousands of curl
