STUDY THE INITIATIVES
Now is the time for all citizens interested in
better government to study the initiative and RET
erendum measures and the. proposed constitutional
amendments.
This year five-initiatives, one referendum and
three constitutional amendments are before the
voters of the state for their decision This decision
will be made at the general election, November 5,
and if we are interested in the welfare OF our state
we will give these measures considerable thought
before passing on them.
In some ways, our state government is rather
queer. We go to great deal of expense and trou-
bic to elect representatives to formulate our laws
and then, because we do not trust them or 90 not
like their actions, go to additional work and ex-
pense to enact laws by vote of the electorate IN
less proper precautions are taken, 1T is easy Tor
some group, disgruntled because the legislature
paws no heed to their demands, to place a measure
on the ballot by initiative and hope that an unin-
formed public will enact it for them.
The five initiatives before the voters are: No.
1O1, which would establish civil service system
for the state and it's subdivisions; No. la, which
would re-enact the 4Omill tax law, already enact
ed twice by the voters; mo- llo, WHICH WOulu otC
up an old-age pension system; No. 1l9, which
would create production for-us districts; and No.
s. an initiative to the legislature, which would pro-
hibit the use Of purse sens in salmon fishing.
Referendum No. 4, enacted by the legislature
in 1885 and referred by them to the electorate,
would set up flood control districts, calling for the
ALLEGATION of $751; 900 for flood control work.
The constitutional amendments are: No. Z,
repeating several sections of the constitution IN
order to make state income tax law possible; No.
90 which would raise the salaries of legislators to
SIS per day for expenses in addition to So per day
for their service and mileage; and No. 10, which
would permit the state to enter the production and
wholesale distribution Of power.
The questions to ask ourselves in studying
these measures is which ones vital to the well
fare Of our state, and which ones are merely the
program of special interests?
The titles alone of these measures do not tell
the whole story; it is necessary to read the full
measure, as number Of jokers can be found in
most Of them.
For everyone concerned, we are more sorely
i'm need of Square Deal all the time, than we are

Quffey Act, how can he act to en- force the anti-trust laws2 Or is it that the President is veering away from that famous act and its impli- cations? Is 1t that he will cease to fight for trade agreements and price-fixing agreements? That re- mains to be seen. The monopoly plan, meantime, means nothing.
 The money plank, like the repub- hcan money plank, is also too vague to mean anything. Here again 1t is perhaps not fair to blame these gentlemen. They have not the faintest idea what to do about money, so they wisely speak in vague terms. It is significant that the platform fails to mention the gold purchase act or the silver pur- chase act. I have read the plank many times. If 1t means anything at all, it declares for a managed currency and a commodity dollar. Yet you cannot believe the plank means that, even though that is what 1t says.
 In the end the platforms of the two parties are to be found where they are always found-in the can- didates themselves, their lives and records and personal tendencies and philosophies and in the recent his. tory of the parties themselves and the character of the groups sup- porting them, and not in the vague generalizations of platforms which specialize in words of many mean ings and two-edged phrases.

Like the republicans. the demo-. crats had 8 hard time slirting around several bad spots. For i1- stance, 1t was clear that the less said about the 1892 platform the better, so that document was not mentioned.
 The democrats had in addition, however, the delicate task of shin- nying away from mentioning cer- tain episodes in the last three years. For instance, there was the NRA and the AAA. These. were the two great measures of the Roosevelt New Deal. The Supreme Court knocked them out, 1t is true. But there is not a whisper anywhere in the platform about them, regretting their notification, or promising to attempt to revive them by some other means or praising the Pres- ident and party for passing those two laws.

A USTRALTA, in 1885, and now A New Zealand have issued stamps that honor the young men whom they sent thousands of miles overseas, at the beginning of the World War, only to find themselves involved in disas- trous campaign doomed to fail.
 It was the famous Gallipoli campaign, by which the Allies, during the summer of 1915, sought to open the Dardanelles SO muni. tions could be transported to Rus. sia. When the Allies landed their troops on the narrow peninsula opposite the Turkish stronghold, SO many tactical errors were made that the troops finally had to be withdrawn. Each side lost about 100000 men, but the great- est shock came when it was dis- covered that the Allies were with. in a night of defeating the Turks. That short delay, 1t is believed,

IDRWERS' FIGHT
 ENDS IN COURT
BIack-Eye COnvinces His Honor Punch, NOt Push,
 Cause of Decoration

Judge Edward Mascolo decided in city court this morning that a push, even a hard push in the shoulder, could hardly cause a very black black-eye. As a result he imposed Q fine of $5 and costs on Gerald Wheeler, 3e, of 242 Walnut street, the alleged black-eye giver, but re- mitted the fine and allowed Wheeler to pay only the costs.
 The black eye getter was Louis LakatoS, of 49 Anderson street, Union City. Lakatos' story was that he was driving in Meriden road yes- terday morning at 3:30 and his car erazed by Wheeler's. Whereupon, said Lakatos, he halted and asked Wheeler to pay for the damage. Next Gin the Lakatos vergioil) |, Wheeler haughtily declined to pay, whereupon LakatoS said he'd report the matter to the motor vehicle de- pertinent, and walked back to his car and sat down behind the wheel A moment later Wheeler's fist con- nected with the tender region sur- rounding Lakatos' eye, and the latter soon developed @ "blinker," 8 mouse" better known as a black eye. At this point, Lakatos had Wheeler arrested.
 Wheeler's recital of events differed very much. He said that Lakatos kept cutting in and out in front of him He denied hitting or even grazing Lakatos' car, and said that after they stopped, Lakatos passed some remarks which he thought in- sulting, and that he gave him push.
 Judge Mascolo, who from the city court bench sees many black eyes, decided that this one hadn't been caused by push and found Wheeler guilty of breach of the peace.

It commits itself to the principle of balanced agriculture = which means crop control. But how 1t is going to control crops the platform does not say. The Supreme Court says the congress cannot regulate agriculture. How is 1t going to put into effect its domestic allotment plan if the Constitution forbids it?
 The farmer is of course more prosperous. He will always be bet- ter of when the rest of the country has the money to buy his crops. The rest of the country has more money because the government has pumped billions into the hands of the farmers customers and 1t has also pumped billions into his hands by subsidies and loans.

Supreme Court
 Is Key to Dilemma

The Constitutional plank of the democrats was surprise. We had been assured there would be no mention of the Constitution. But they did use the word and made a kind of half-hearted pledge to do something about 1t.
 Of course the democrats and re- publicat1s both had rows over the Constitution. But they were really talking about two different subjects. The republicans were confronted with demand for an amendment to enlarge the power of the central government. What strange swap ping of positions! The republicans ducked their problem entirely. Just didn't mention 1t in the platform. But the candidate sent a message to the convention saying that he favored an amendment if federal action against low wages and ex- cessive hours was impossible any other way.
 The democrats had planned to do as the rerublicans--to say nothing about the matter. This was the Presidents strategy. The President had made up his mind that consti- tutional amendment to strengthen the central government would be unpopular or at least dangerous. He had decided that he could more easily get the Supreme Court to change its position by, appointing men like Brandeis, Stone, Cardoza in the coming four years. He is gambling that. with 50 many old men on the bench, there are sure to be couple of vacancies.
 But the labor groups and some of the liberal senators were illsistent. And so the platform declares that economic disturbances like dust storms and floods cannot be dealt with by the states; that the federal government must face the problem and that IF 1t has not the power under the Constitution, then the Constitution ought to be amended.
 The weakness here is that 1t fails to say when 1t will decide that the federal government is powerleSs The Supreme Court has definitely said 1t is.. Tn the background is the question-how long will the Pres ident wait for vacancies before he acts for an amendment?

this kind of thing must necessarily be temporary. No one will advocate permanent government subsidies to farmers and permanent unbalanced budgets to pay relief.
 What does the democratic party propose to do of a permanent char acter to solve the farmers economic problem? Its platform does not a1- swer and of course the republican platform does not answer that eith- CT. Soil conservation is, to be sure, 8 good thing. That is protecting national resources. But that still leaves the farmers economic posi- ton uncertain and insecure. The truth is that neither of the parties knows what to do about the farm CTS.

Farm Prosperity Is Proudly Accented

As one looks back over the three years of the New Deal these meas ures stand out--the NRA, the AAA, the IVA, the money purchasing plan, the Social Security Act, the Stock Exchange Acts. It is interest ing to note that while the President was interested in all these measures, 1t was the N2A, the AAA, the IVA and the money purchasing plan and the late tax plan which absorbed his affection, while he had to be prodded pretty industriously on the Social Security and Stock Exchange Acts. But of all his pets, the only one of the platform mentions and endorses is the IVA, while 1t is the Social Security Act and the Stock Exchange Acts which it boasts loud- ly about.
 On agriculture, the platform rightly declares that the condition of the farmer has improved and that the day of 16-cent corn and 3-cent hogs has been passed. It boasts of its farm loan acts and its effort to bring electricity toe the farms. Whether you agree with these plans or not, the party cer-
 tainly can claim credit for them.
