Were the requirements of this ,pro- posedJimemlment such as to demand a MAJORITY of nil the ELECTORS of the statw, the advlsabllUy^or neces­ sity of' such ^change In our Constitu­ tion would be debatable. ‘When the requirements are such as. to demand but sixty per cent' of the electors voting for the head of-the ticket a t any election and- a majority pf these .votes, or but thirty per cent plus one'vole of those voting for the head of the ticket will , carry any measure, itheii the amendment be­ comes dangerous,- When but sixty-flve per cent of the electors vote at an election, nUd but sixty-per "cent of thfb-'Slxty.jflve^per cent Is required to vote, on a proposi­ tion, and only thirty per cent - plus one or this sixty-ftve per .cant Is- re­ quired to decide the question, twenty per cent of the electors can,tnaet or repeal laws.

WEAK POINT IN INITIATIVE AblD REFERENDUM. People who may line to favor the Initiative and Referendum will hesi­ tate to adopt that feature of the pro* posed law which provides that 80 per cent plus i of 00 per cent of the- en­ tire vote may tarry the measure, While this Crushes the representative Idea of government, it seems to extin­ guish the democratic idea as well. Suppose 100,000 votes be cast a t an election and 89,000 be cast on some measure defeated by the legislature and referred, under this bill, to the pebpie; then 80,001 votes will carry- the measure. That IS, less than one- third of the votes cast may over­ whelm a legislature and enact a law. Thi.i neems rather A stretch of the Initiative and Referendum Idea and it la possible that the Idea Is not strong* ly enough Intrenched In public senti­ ment to admit ot such use of it. If we ever do come to the Referendum practice it should be based on some­ thing Solid*t than a minority tote, Nor should the indifference or neg­ ligence of the people be accounted a potency in Overcoming the will of tie legislature. The only possible Justifi­ cation for such a course is an intelli­ gent and positive majority of th* people in favor of overruling the leg­ islature. Anything less than this is trifling with the prnwary fdea of dem­ ocratic government, flie te is no need, because the Initiative and Referendum has a strong point, that it should< go tecklehsly abOn^ to establish lt>-*-Sd‘ Uorial: Ohio state journal.

The new country in Adams, Hettinger, and'Bowman'Counties, North, Dakota, and Butte County, South Dakota, is now, reached by the new track. The soil is ft dark loam with clay subsoil, and produces in abundance wheat, oats, barley, spelz, flax, corn and potatoes. The land is well adapted to farming, good wafer is found a t a depth of from twenty to fifty feet, and the whole country is underlaid with lignite, coal that out­ crops along the streams, and in mqgt cases can be had for. the digging. 9 The climate is healthful, the a ir is .dry .and invigorating, and the percentage of sunshiny • days is high, .Outdoor work can be done almost every day in the year. Rainfall is amply suffi- * cient to raise the crops. Regular mail service has been established, the roads are good, ru ra l, telephone-lines traverse the country, and automobiles are in common use. The deeded land in thih district sells for from $10,to $18 per acre. There are many instances this, year where the crop ‘ equalled in value the Cost of the land. , ’ • ' , In Butte Countyt South Dakota, there is considerable government land open for homestead entry, * • , Government Ian<}offices are maintained a t Lemmon, Hettinger and Bowman,'whete filings ail'd Anal - ’ proofs.may bemaAe.

I t lias been demonstrated that big crops of grain maybe raised, Along the Yellowstone and M.ussellshell rivers, the water is used for irrigation,1and phenomenal yields of alfalfa, sagar beets, and grain, are always certain. In the- Judith , Basin near Lewistown, Montana, is one of the mdst remarkable Sections to, be found on the new line. Under natural rainfall, the5famous bench land3 produced this year an average of 35 bushels of hard wheat to the acre, and tho price was 94 cents per bushel. The basin contains about 1500 square miles and is sparsslysettlcd. Some government land still remains open for settlement. A government land office is maintained at Lewistown. In Fergus County, outside the Judith Basin, is one of the greatest stock countries in the world, and good ranches can bo purchased at a reasonable figure. Tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul.Railway Co. has. established an immigration department for the purpose of assisting in the settlement and development of the new lands now being opened.
