ROBERTS, Meteorologist. IN ERROR. In lamenting the death of the bill providing for a. non-partisan ballot, the Courier-News is in error when it says the measure was “similar to that in effect in Minnesota.” The bill proposed by the League differed from the law in effect in Minnesota. Our sister state eliminates parties in mun- icipal county and judicial elections and provides in addition for a non- partisan legislature. The bill defeated in the senate ad- vocated a complete non-partisan bal- lot from governor down to justice of the peace. In city and county affairs parties doubtless are superfluous but the wisdom of abolishing all parties from: state government is another story as Kipling says. Minnesota is not satisfied with the non-partisan legislature. Already there is a strong movement on foot to return to the old system of party leg- islative primaries. Under our present law municipal elections no longer have any party sig: nificance. The same applies to school and judicial elections. Minnesota wisely continues to se lect her constitutional officers through the medium of parti WHEN IS A MANDATE? There is a conviction abroad that when the people adopt a constitu. tional amendment, they impose a di- rect mandate upon the legislature to carry out its provisions to the let- ter. Those who believe in the initiative and referendum insist upon their pound of flesh whenever the people through an amendment to the consti- tution authorize the legislature to do a specific thing. Of course anyone who gives serious thought to the situation knows differ- ently. The adoption of an amendment is not always a mandate from the people. In many instances amend- ments are passed to provide for emer- gencies that may occur at a future date and never intended to be the basis for immediate legislative action. One of our contemporaries says in a recent issue: “A second instance is found in the two bills providing machinery for making effective the constitutional amendment that says the people have the right upon petition to initiate amendments to their constitution. The supreme court has said that amend- ments, passed by the people in 1914, is not effective until the legislature passes an act or acts specially pro- viding the means. Wigt was the senate’s action on this? It turned down the bills, thus depriving the voters of the state of the right they themselves have demanded.” ‘The people did not impose any man- date when this amendment was adopt- ed. It was understood at the time that it was not to be self-executing. The prohibition forces in the legis- lature that submitted this amendment to the people insisted upon that safe- guard until such time as there would be no danger of a resubmission of the | tional | minal elevators. | powered to provide.” the state's history, these: facts are well known, Had the amendment been made self- executing, the prohibition forces would have killed it at the polls and the friends of the initiative and referen- dum compromised rather than have the endorsement of the principle fail at the ballot box. While speaking of “mandates,” re- call the decision of the voters at the last general election repealing the tax levy for terminal elevators. This action was taken at the very election that Governor Frazier was swept into office by an almost unanimous yote. If we follow the logic of our esteem- ed contemporary, the decision of the voters to repeal the levy for the erec- tion of elevators was a mandate against engaging in state owned utili- ties. It is a poor rule that will not work both wa It is impossible to praise the rule when it works as we like it and damn it when it operates against us. No! We must take the fat with the lean. It is within the realm of reason to suppose that after the voters adopted an amendment confering authority upon a legislature to take specific action conditions may change and such action, if taken, might be inimic- able to the state, The legislature imust be the judge in the final analy- [sis as to the wisdom of acting even though power is conferred, unless of course the people themselves explicit- ly decide that their instructions are mandatory. The term mandate is used loosely and The Tribune asserts without fear of successful contradiction that the adoption of a constitutional amend- ment by the people is not always a mandatory instruction binding on the legislature. Take the language of the constitu- amendment authorizing — ter- It reads: “the legis- lature is hereby authorized and em- Nothing man- If it had said the that would have datory about that. legislature “shall” been mandatory. Subsequent developments demon- strated that the people desired to try out a state owned terminal elevator and the last legislature in its wisdom carried out that mandate in S. B. 84. It is idle to insist that every amend- ment adopted is a mandate. PAID ZEALOTS. One thing to be thankful for is the enlightened manner in which the re- cent legislature treated the private reformers who believe they are an- been able in the past to shape much of the legislation and kill many bene- a deaf ear was turned to the biennial sob squad.

But no light resuited. Next day the ex- perts came to remedy the trouble, and seeing the hapless expedient of the | owner, remarked: “Don't you know that it takes 500 times more power to produce light! than it takes to produce noise?” “There is the whole situation in a} nut shell. We are troubled with low- voltage statesmen, the tiny cells of whose brains are just powerful enough to make unceasing racket, while great dynamic minds that might flood the world with legislative light and wisdom are disconnected from the machinery of government.” Judge Parker in a telegram to Wil- liam J.

Attention has recently been called to the serious situation which pre- yails in the automobile industry—one |feature of the national food—fuel— freight congestion. In some quarters ‘it has been estimated that the value of the Detroit-made motor cars held up or in storage, due to the failure to move freight, totals $10,000,000. : “| Various explanations for this crisis have been made, but no one has given Seorss'| a keener analysis of the situation or |has gone more vigorously or fearless- ly into the heart of the matter than Harry M. Jewett president of the Paige-Detroit Motor Company. And, incidentally, Mr, Jewett’s point of Who is to blame? the public asks. With industries crippled and in mo- mentary danger of a complete shut down, with the fuel situation so ser- ious that the country shivers from | fear as well as from cold and with the high cost of living breeding riots and famine the public is now engaged in the .over-popular Amerifan sport of hunting for the villain of the drama. Usual Cry. “Let us investigate,” is the cry, and committees and commissions get to work. The war is responsible—the Ger- mans did it—the president is guilty— the food and fuel speculators are the cause—the railroads are the criminals ;—all these explanations -and charges are advanced, according to the pre- judices and predilections of the indi- vidual. Mr. Jewett, however, comes out flat- footedly with a vigorous accusation that the people—the great American people—are to blame. The public is now suffering for its own sins, Its ;own shortsightedness, its own selfish- ness and is stewing in its own guilt. “The machinery for the distribution of food, fuel and general freight has ; undoubtedly broken down,” says Mr. Jewett. “It is woefully inadequate to meet the demands now made on it. We in the automobile business are— and have been for some time—in a serious predicament. Millions of dol- lars worth of cars are now in storage in Detroit because they can’t be ship- ; ped. The summer drive-away day has | become a daily winter feature, and ~ every fruit dealer and: grocer in Bis- }from 600 to 800 yards in depth, It's all because tomorrow is Na- tional Orange day. For several days great quantities of oranges have been coming in by fast freight, until dealers, to secure deliveries, are com- ing to the factory and driving their cars home, in some instance more than 500 miles away, Raw materials, parts, supplies of all kinds have been held up in transit and therefore ypro- duction has suffered. a “Now, while this condition is dué di marck has a large supply of this won- derful fruit. , The front windows of: almost every) store are being, dressed with oranges.) SERVICE CORPORATIONS IS rectly to inadequate transportation fa- cilities, I, for one, refuse to make the railroads the goat. For a quarter of a century it has been the popular sport in America to damn the rail- roads and public service corporation —factors in our daily life that are just as necessary as the food and fuel we are clamoring for. For a quarter of a century it has been the delight of the public to scorn, abuse, hold up, hector and harass these companies in every possible way. They have been taxed to death and every attempt made to increase their revenues by a slight addition to the freight rates has been fought tooth and nail. They can’t increase their rates a tenth of a mill without a battle before the in- terstate commerce commission that may last for years. Yet freight rates in this country are the cheapest per ton per mile of any. in the world. The railroads are the public’s favorite goats, while the public service corpor- ations. are the mainstay of municipal politicians, For 25 years the local political cry has been the Detroit United railway issue, and the result is wretched service and inadequate equipment, but the public permits it, suffers it and suffers for it. It is the same in other cities. Hostile Attitude. “The attitude of hostility on the part of the public toward the rail- roads and the public ‘service corpora- tions, and the stupid manner in which the people permit the professional pol- iticians to make these companies the football of politics has this result: Railways and public service corpora- tions cannot get money to develop their properties, increase their equip- ments: and thus meet the demands growing out of our enormous indus trial expansion. As investments they are more or less discredited becausé the dividends, are,.neither generous nor regular, Why. should we invest in railroad securities when one can get better returns from other stocks and bonds—securities that are not en- dangered by fickle and prejudicial public opinion? “Detroit has not sufficient nor ade- quate terminal facilities to meet the transportation conditions that have developed; and I venture to say that no other American city has. The rail- roads have not had money or encour- agement to meet these conditions. The public has seen to that. Conse- quently the machinery has broken down and we are in a horrible mess, I refuse to make the -railroads the goat. The public is to blame. It is up to the people.” _f Some very artistic effeets-have been produced. abac a l WAR SUMMARY (Associated Press) Intensive fighting in the Champagne region resulting favorably to the French and failure of a French at- tack at Hill No, 304, northwest of Verdun are reported in today’s offi cial statement. © ° ji} h ¥ | The Champagne: attabh!)
