NO AMENDMENTS
BY LEGISLATURE
Only Three Can be Submitted
And These Now Being
Initiated by Voters
If the plans of the people
prevail, the present Legisla
ture will have no chance at the
ancient and honorable consti
tution, unless it should decide
to have a new one written.
There are three proposed
amendments now being initiat
ed, with the prospect of put
ting all of them through. If
this is done, the Legislature
will have no opportunity to
subinit another, the maximum
having been submitted. This
will eliminate the submission
of the good roads amendment
again, which the advocates of
Amendment No. 14 had hoped
for.
The State Bar Association is
back of a movement for the
initiation of an act to increase
the number of Supreme Court
justices from five to seven, in
order to relieve the strain of
increasing business, which five
men are finding it impossible
to keep up.
The Initiative and Referen
dum League has rewritten
Amendment No. 13, which was
so overwhelmingly defeated
in the recent election, and has
eliminated the features that
aroused the most objection
among the voters. An effort
has been made to eliminate the
“jokers.” One of the chief of
these is the feature of the old
amendment which was con
strued by many to mean that a
government unit less than the
state might initiate laws con
flicting with the general laws
of the state. There are other
features introduced in the new
bill which removes from it
charges of radical tendencies.
It is prepared along lines of
progressive direct legislation
practices, and when it is prop
erly presented, the members
of the League are confident
that it will share a far differ
ent fate from Amendment No.
13.
The equal suffragists have
decided to make no effort to
initiate an amendment at this
time, being hopeful that they
will secure relief through the
Legislature, either by constitu
tional amendment or the call
ing of a constitutional conven
tion. The first plan being prac
tically nullified by the initia
tion of three amendments, the
alternative is left of a new or
ganic law, which now seems
to be very probable.
The third amendment that is
being submitted is that for the
authorization of municipal
bonds, in which the mayors
and officials of more than a
hundred cities and towns of
the state are \ itally interested.
The amendment has been be
fore the people at least three
times and every time it has met
with favor, but has lostthrough
the excessive restrictions that
have been thrown about the
adoption of amendments. The
last time it would have been
declared a law, except for the
fact that more than three
amendments were submitted
and the Supreme Court held
that the inhibition was not re
moved by the Initiative and re
ferendum amendment.
The amendment has been
most carefully rewritten, and
even greater safe-guards than
had been placed about the
earlier amendments. One of
the most notable of these im
provements is a provision that
for each separate 'issue of
bonds, as proposed by any
municipality, there shall be
chosen by Ihe City Council or
other governing body at the
time of the passage of the or
dinance calling an election for
the purpose of voting on the
particular issue of bonds, and
the advertisement shall state
their names for the informa
tion of the public. These com
missioners shall act in conjunc
tion with the Mayor, Board or
other Committee, and with j
them shall exercise joint con
trol over the sale of any bonds
authorized by the people, and
shall see that the funds are
economically and properly ex
pended for the specific purpose
specified in the issue of bonds.
The purposes for which
bonds may be issued are speci
fied as follows: For the ac
quisition of rights-of-way for
and construction of publiclhigh
ways, streets, alleys, or boule
vards within the corporate
limits; for the purchase, deve
lopment and improvement of
parks, located either within or
without the corporate limits;
for the construction of sewers;
for the constiuction of town
halls, auditoriums, prisons, li
braries, hospitals, viaducts,
bridges or buildings for hous
ing fire fighting apparatus ;and
for the purpose of acquiring,
purchasing, extending, improv
ing, enlarging, building or con
structing water-works, or light
or heat plants.
No bonds to be issued under
the terms of this amendment
shall bear a greater rate of in
terest than six per cent, and
bonds issued by cities of the
first class shall not be sold on
a basis of more than five per
cent, and for cities of the sec
ond class not to exceed six per
cent.
FRUIT TREES SHOULD
BE PRUNED EARLY
In orchards that were not
well pruned late last summer
there is likely.to be branches!
that should be removed, trees
that should be balanced or
headed back, some ‘dehorning’
to be done. It is best not to de
fer this work till spring as the
work of planting may inter
fere with pruning.
All dead or deeayingbranch
es should be removed from old
fruit trees. If this is not done
the decay may extend into the
main trunk of the tree and de
stroy it. It is not safe to leave
dead branches on the growing
trees very long.
It very often happens that
winter winds may tear off
| branches or leave them broken
to decay and form a harbor for
bark beetles. Notice for these
branches and remove them be
fore they endanger the life of
the tree. All branches, especial
ly the dead and decayed prun
ings, should be gathered up
and burned as they are likely
to cause disease or insects if
I left.
The trees should be left in
balance. Branches that hold
the trees out of balance had
best be removed. Large branch
es must sorrfetimes be taken
off to save the tree. If this is
necessary the “cut place” had
best be covered with white
lead paint or whitewash to
protect the wound from fungi.
The heads of trees should be
I open. Branches of such as the
apple and the peach trees that
interfere with sunlight for the
fruit may be removed. This will
also give you a better chance
to do effective work in spray
ing. Take off straggling
branches and give the fruit
bearing part of the tree the
best chance possible.—Farm
and Ranch.

ade because of his condition.
That was the greatest factor
in his being pardoned.
