DEMANDS OPEN FORMULA
(Continued from page one.)
elixir of trouble. i
It is the province of Professor
Coon when a millennium greased at
both ends, is in rapid revolution, to
"throw a monkey wrench into the
works" to quote him, and stop the
thing. Last week when Governor
Bickett recommended a uniform ap
pointive or elective system with min
ority representation in all counties,
the republicans perceptibly lost their
perk. They had contended all the
recent years against a system that
has been wholly without minority
consideration and Bickett had offer
ed them much more in the whole sys
tem than they could get in the 20
counties which they might hope to
nrrv.
The republicans had made up their
minds not to cress the issue now,
hoDine for a democrat who would op
en it afresh and allow them to come
in. Their oarty had resolved for ele
ctive schoolboards, but having re
solved also for a state primary with
out an accompanying resolution to
make a fight for one, nobody would
have held it against the mhad they
forgotten the newer resolve. Here
comes the Honorable Henry Page
with a sweepstake bill that puts
every county on the elective system
if it desires to go. Page made ft
desperate fight two years ago in
party caucus that finally beat him
out. This year a group of counties
in the sand hill territory sent repre
sentatives to Raleigh pledged to give
them an elective system and Page
has started out to redeem a pledge
or two.
The minority representation scheme
dies not seem to work since the aim
of so many of the counties desiring
the change to get rid of .their
school machinery. Republicans ob
ject as much to certain republicans
who would get on by the appointive
system as to democrats and it is tho
same with the democracy. This is a
capitation scheme, the cutting off of
countless heads, and that's what
gives it the peculiar interest that it
has. Many democrats here declare
that they cannot hold their counties
without passing a bill of this charac
ter. Only six counties have thiselec
tive system and no republicans en
joy the privilege.
Lmon Praises Bickett.
The state council of the Farmers'
Union in sesion at Raleigh adopted j
strong resolutions praising Govern-;
or Bickett's program, his stand for '
rural life betterment, his position on '.
the patent medicine question and on j
the crop lien evils. The council also f
will secure an amendment to the i
Torrens title law, and seeks to have '
the commissioner of agriculture fur
nish farmers ground phosphate rock
at cost. It further wants school
books furnished by the state a la
Kansas.
Senator Jonas has a bill relative
to play grounds at schools. Repre
sentative Love of Lincoln has won
his fight over Senator Jonas, on the
county fiscal agent for Lincoln.
Jonas offered amendments to the act
abolishing the county treasurer.
which were adopted, but the bill it- j
self, as drawn by Love, naming a i
bank depository, went by over the
senator's protest.

Judge Whedbee has ideas about
courts. At Wilson he told th? grand
jury he had no time to ex;1:. In what
is crime, that any man vith sense
enough to serve as jarymr:i ought to
know what is what. Long charges
by "hizzonors" are expensive to
taxpayers, he said; long haragues
by lawyers consumed valuable time;
grand jurors were too lazy some
times to present cases that should
be investigated. Less hot air and
more efficiency seems to have been
the judge's idea in his terse, brief
charge.
