State Grange Wins Court
Fight For Ballot Title
The state supreme court has up
held and approved the ballot title
given by Attorney General Van Win
kle to the state grange’s water and
power bill.
Dismissing the suit brought by
John H. Carson, district attorney for
Marion county and L. B. Smith,
petitioner the court held that the
ballot tittle, “ peoples’ water and pow
er utility districts constitutional
amendment—to authorize the crea
tion of peoples’ utility districts within
or without municipalities to‘ develop,
dispose of and sell water, water power
and electric enegy.” was not unfair
and misleading and that there was
nothing in the proposed measure
which was not germain • to the ballot
title? ‘
The decision cleared the way for

tions to start their drive for sufficient
signatures on the petit; ms to place

IT ALL
COMES BACK
TO YOU
Church
Hearing God’s Voice.
If you stood in a street where the
traffic is abundant, where the con
stant thunder of rumbling wheels
creates a din, it would be difficult to
preach so as to command an audi
ence, for the abundant sound would
prevent all hearing; and, to a great
extent, the mass of mankind are just
iff that position as to the joyful
3<>und of the Gospel.
1 The rumbling of the wheels of com
merce, the noise of trade and the
cries of competition, the whirl of
cares and the riot of pleasures—all
these drown the pursuasive voice of
heavenly love, so that men hear no
more of it than they would hear a
pm fall in the midst of a hurricane
at sea. Only when God unstops the
ear is the still small voice of truth
heard in the chambers of the heart.
