I suggest an amendment to the Con- stitution rating or limiting the pay of aji judges and all state and county officers to the time faithfully given to official duty. This I commend: to the new party of Gunder Olson. It seems there is a move in the right direction to submit to the people at the next general election several Proposed amendments to the Constitu- tion.

The! Suomission must be under a recent) amendment to the Constitution. It is| in effect: “Any amendment, or am- endments to the Constitution may be Proposed by the people by the filing with the Secretary of State, at least ‘six months previous to a general elec- tion of an’ initiative petition contain- ing the signatures of at least 25 per cent of the legal voters in each if not Jess" than Gne-half of the counties of the state. “Should any such amend- m ed and submitted to the shall be referred to the next legisla. live assembiv: and shoul suca pro posed amendment be agreed upon dy| a majority of all the members elected to such house, such amendment shall this state.” some two years ago the judges of the supreme court held that this am- | eadment is not self-executing and that | it must remain a dead letter without | any force or, effect until such time as} | the legislature may see fit to doctor it up with supplemental legislation. The decision was roundly denounced. It did not appeal to the people, Three | of the judges who made the decision | were promptly let out and replaced by three judges who openly disapprov- ed of the decision. A self-governing people must have a right to amend their laws and: constitutions and to amend or remove judges who make Obnoxious decisions or who fail to do their duty.

The purpose of evéry initiative petition is to show a demand for some measure by at least a certain number or per cent of| signatures, and surely it can be no ob-! jection to a demand that it is shown ‘by the sign manual of half the voters or all of. the voters. Hence, it is that ‘statutes do always fix the lowest number or least per cent of signatures ‘but never the -highest number or eople receive a majority of all’ the votes cast at such general: elec- tion, such amendment or amendmen: greatest per cent. ‘és tn question 1s that it does not Growing enough food for America and a sur- Baitor | plus for the peoples of countries allied with Ameri- ca in this war, is an undertaking tremendously To do it requires the aid of men, women and ‘The farmers alone cannot do it.

Three shifts of clerks have been at work. Acres of typists—2300 of chem—24 hours of every day have vlattered on batteries of typewriters in several of the largest floor spaces in Washington—a commandeered dance hall above the municipal mark- at, an abandoned hospital, and a fac- vory ‘building recently remodeled. Each a Human Document Regardless of the wholesale quanti- ty of documents, each letter and each check is regarded as a distinct hu man document, on instructions of the director of the bureau, William C Delaney. Every woman typist and man sorting clerk has been impressed with the idea that the welfare of a soldier's. family may depend on the speed, accuracy and personal interest shown by the bureau's workers. So this is the task and the spirit of one of the government's greatest bureaus, the Treasury Department's Bureau of War Risk Insurance.

More than two thousand young men and girls can not ‘be managed efficiently by haphazard methods. Regular recreation periods in the mid- dle of the morning and afternoon are provided. There is a piano and a grphaphone, and the girls may dance during the short recess, The manag- ers say that they do 30'per-cent better work as a result. There is a lunch room, operated at cost, The bureau has a supervising matron, who advises the girl employes, most of whom have come to Washington recently for war ' time employment on patriotic grounds. She helps them obtain lodging rooms and in other ways. Speedy typists are carefully chosen from the throng, and arranged at the long work desks in the center of a group of slower workers. This ar- rangement promotes group speed, and better. office morale, the efficiency men in charge declare. Blonde girls are assigned to places between ibrunettes, for the bureau management believes blondes are of more nervous temper- ament, and the brunettes provide a steadying influence. (Kach check is typed individually, and a government law provides that checks also must be signed individual- ly, rather than stamped mechanically. The signing is a big task. Signature duplicating. machines are used, ten checks being signed by each original signature of a pay clerk. Lesson in Efficiency. Even the choice of pay clerks is a lesson in efficiency. ‘Not personality, not ‘raining, but length of ptronymic names is the determing factor. Men with short names, work at the signing machines, for more short names can be signed daily than long names. This is the reason the jobs are held by E. Hibbs, D, Mills, J. ‘L. Betz, G. A. Ball, and 'M, Cox. _ Yet with all the efficiency methods of this big office, it must shortly go into the discard before thé automatic check writing machines, now being verfested by M, E.

TRANSPORTS General Pershing Demands the Right of Way For Books For Sammy Washington, UD. C. March 16—By ordering that shipping space in the amount of fifty tons per month be set aside by the army transport service fer the shipment to France of Amert- can Library Association books for soldiers, Gen, Pershing has given un- mistakable recognition to the need of reading matter for the use of our men in France. Shipping space is extremely valu: able, and Gen. Pershig would never have alloted so much of it to the Am- erican Library Association if he did not thoroughly believe in the value of books to fighting men. ‘By. setting aside ‘fifty tons of shipping space per month, he has made’ it possivte for the American Library Association to send to France a monthly average of 160,000 volumes. This task the A. L. A. has cheeérfully undertaken, Already it has in. operation, large shipping stations at two Atlantic ports of embarkation. -To — these stations books will be shipped from public I+ braries in all sections of the country for transportation overseas. Asa Don Dickinson is in charge of one of these shipping stations, while Willlam H. Brett, of Cleveland, is in charge of the other. Representing the A, L. A. in . cance is Dr. M. L. Raney, librarian of John ‘Hopkins University, to over- see the handling and prompt distridu- tion of the books when they arrive. The actual work of issuing the books is being done by army chap- lains, the Y. M, C. A, the! K. of C, the Red Cross and the Y. W. C, A. From base hospitals to billets as near the front-line trenches as possible vooks are being placed in the hands of our fighting men. To maintain an adequate supply, the collection of hundreds of thousands of books will be necessary. The Am- erican Library Association is buying by the hundreds of thousands text- books and other serious books, for which there is enormous demand, but it is looking to the public to supply by gift the millions of volumes of lighter literature—fiction poetry, trav- el, etc—which our men must have. In addition tothe: overseas service, the American Library Association must keep its camp libraries at can- tonments supplied and must also sup- ply small camps, naval stations, naval vessels and transports with books. Already nearly three hundred of these are receiving the A, L. A. service. To meet these needs a nation-wide book-drive will start on March 18, di- rected by the A. L. A. Library War Service, and with every Public Lib- rary co-operating. Churches, schools and patriotic societies of all kinds have signified their willingness to help. “Thousands of girls’ and’ “boys are being mobilized to collect books trom householders who are too busy to take them to public libraries and ‘|every other means will be used to make the giving of ‘books easy. Two million books is the goal set, but with public interest really aroused, it should be far exceeded, MISS MINNIE J.
