is the a ay La-irle J. Quinby. demo ratic
candidate for the atate aenate, expresses
his opinion on the abort ballot movement.
l hava always been for the short bai!ot,"
he said, commenting on The IWi sugges
t;on for making only three elective state
office and the rest appointive. "We
ant a head who doe the appoint'!. so
that we can put our finger on the man
responsible when anything H wrona. but
we don't want to Rive anybody power to
dp a lie please with the affair! of gov
ernment without being sub.tect to the con
tiol of the peoplk.
"In other word we want a system that
will give tia one man for administrative
purposes but the whole people for leala
lrtton. That would mean that along with
thla system we would have to have an
effective recall.
'Furthermore, with a thoroughly woik
alla recall It would not be. ncoesaary to
lr.oke It very much, sine, the men In
office would realise' It power and would
be aware of having It lnvok2 upon them,
elf. Made fthart Hallo Now.
"Even today the demand for a ahort
Fallot la ao great that votera are auto
matically creating a ahort ballot for
themselves, by not voting at all for can-
el. dales not known to them. I know of
many who, looking down the long Hat of
legislative candldatca could ee only two
or thiee of whom they knew anything at
all. They voted for those, and although
the instructions, on the ballot were 'Vote
fof twelve,1 they aimply voted for the
two r three men they knew and then
left the test Wank."
"Yea I favor carrying the rppolntlva
matter into the county offices also. 1
Mould have a board that would appoint
'OUDty officers subject to the rejection
or approval oftha people. I would fix
rx.rhape a timo limit of ninety dnys aflar
appointment, for the people to lake a
referendum vote on them If they chose.
If they did not reject by a referendum
vota In that time, the appointment would
(and approved, but still auh)ect to the
recall process."
Falner Fas-are Short Ballot.
.J. P. Palpier, republican r.ominee for
the Houae nay he la much in favor of
the ahort ballot an. I la glad to nee The
Fee take It up aa It has ".V ahort ballot
yatem would arwolutely . In my mind
eliminate the evil, of the primary ays
tern." he aald. "Aa It la a man never
knowa many of the landldatea on the
ballot and he absolutely haa no way of
getting acquainted with all ot them and
wrlth their fttneaa for the Respective of
floee they. aeek. With a ahorter ballot
a man would hava more opportunity to
get around and 4rarn who the candidate
are and learn eomethlng about them.
That would bring about an intelligent I
vote on primary day."
Mr. Palmer fa lao with The Bee for a
ahorter ballot In the county. He believes
that authority could be advantageously
centrallaed even further.
"Why, tor example, "he say "could
not the county officials or at least cer
tain designated ones, audi aa assessor,
treasurer, clerk, etc., themselves constl-
lute the county board of commlpaluners?
Why do we need all these officials and j
then another board of county commis
sioners over them? There Is absolutely
no need for auch duplication."
Hears- K. Meyers Vle.w.
Henry F. Meyers, former chairman of
the. republican county committee of
Vouglaa county, say a ha favors The lice's
plan, but would have It changed to make
the redlatrloting and apportioning pua
aibla sooner.' '
"The Dee suggests that the legislature
f the firat regular caton, after the of
ficial federal census la taken, shall ap
portion senators end representative ac
cording to population, "aald Meyers.
"Now the first session after the census
of 1M0 has already gone by. We do not
want to wait until the first aeasinn after
the census of That would be 1982.
The thing to. do la to do It now."

v Interior Iowa Case.
The commerce counsel has Just finished
preparation an forwarding nf the petl-j
tlon in the matter of application of Iowa
shippers for reopening the Interior Iowa
rate wanes. This was decided upon at a
conference held some time ago. The In
terstate Commerce commission decide!
the case and ordered the elimination of
all discriminations according to certain
general principles luld down. The rail
roads filed new schedules of rates, which
It waa supposed had eliminated the dls
criminations. ' But It was found, that by
reason of other changes made In the-l
rates the carriers had In fact Increased
the discriminations against Interior lowj
cities especially !n favor of the Missis
sippi river business rolnts. There is alxo
discrimination as compared with the
rates to the far western points. Tho
Iowa shippers therefore ask a reopening
of the case that the commission may re
quire ratea which completely remove the
discrimination. There la also an asking
for a reduction of rates because of the
fact. that the Interstate ratea In many
caws exceed the um of the locals.

with her Domestic that the has a couple of sales for you
already.""
We have never introduced a line of stoves in Omaha
but what proved to be a line of superior quality. We never
dropped a line but what pur competitors picked it up and
dropped the line they were selling. Any housewife that
will look at a Domestic and then go and buy some other
is deficient in judgment. '
We sell the Domestic at a cut price for cash or on
small monthly payments. We, connect them free of charge.
