Mr. Koxer stressed the fset that it
was the desire of the state board of
control, which administers the set,
' to simplify mstters snd get the money
into the right hsnds at the earliest
possible date.
He stated that many
difficulties were being met, but thst
such was alwsys the esse in the ad-
ministration of a new law, and that
he mw no reason why there should he
sny delays.

committee in Sherman county for

In ease where there is a mortgage
on a place or on a crop, waivers must
be seat In before the state will msks

waiters must accompany all applica
tions. A blsnk is provided for this

Proposed Amendment Progressive A Crop Year’s Cycle Described
One of the most interesting acts of
the iegislsture is a resolution passed
by the house which provides for the
tubmiaison to the vote of the people
of the state for sn amendment to the
constitution. This proposed amend
ment provides that the supreme court
of the state shall, when requested by
a majority vote ot the legislature,
give its decision on constitutional
questions, state policy or other mat
ters railing for a final opinion.
Many of the states have such a
constitutional
provision, and it is
believed that it would have a salutar)
effect in preventing the passage of
measures which are unconstitutional
and which merely add to the burden
of courts and people,
ProOably it
would discourage the passage of
reckless and foolish laws.
Spaeker Burdick

resolution, end it ap pea res- to meet
with the approve I of the house.

imagine that it will be apt to pass a
7vote of the people, but some believe
that its scope might be widened some
