Blue Mountain Grange No. 345, P. of
H. met in regular session, March 7. 1 906.
After the regular routine of business was
finished, a bountiful lunch was served. In
the afternoon, the lecturer conducted the
program. J. W. McAlister introduced the
subject of sowing and growing alfalfa.
The subject was thoroughly discussed
by Bros. Jasper, Reynolds. Davis. D. A.
McAlister and Huffman, and much valu
able information was brought forth. C.
D. Huffman suggested that we discuss
the subject of cover crops at some future
time. Two resolutions were presented
for adoption, by J. W. McAlister and W.
R. Jasper as follows:
Whereas; By the Iniative and Refer
endum law, the Constitution of our state
is in danger, from the fact that it may be
amended by a petition of 8 pec cent of
the voters, to place it on the ticket, and
then a majority of the votes cast thereon,
makes it a law, thereby defeating the
very object for which the Constitution
was intended. Therefore be it resolved
oy uie Blue Mountain Urange, that we
favor a more stringent law in this respect
by requiring 20 per cent of the voters
on a petition, to have an amendment put
on at the ' coming election, and then it
should receive sixty per cent of the elect
oral vote. , . y
i J RESOLUTION NO. 2 -
Whereas: In view of the fact that a
great burdefi is placed upon the farmer
and other producers, by the crimes com
mitted thro' the use of intoxicating drinks.
Therefore, be it tesolved by Blue Mount
ain Grange that we favor a heavy state
license.. . .
Resolutions unanimously adopted.
