A convention of persons fayoring the
adoption of the direct legislation plan
III the state OF Illinois is to be held in
Chicago i'll November. Direct legisla.
ton Is to some extern. locally the prac-
tice already i'll this country, as when
the people Of "A city vote or measures
concerning it alone. The method pro
posed by which laws would be passed
by the people of a state instead Of by
the legislature alone is as follows: II
the Legislature enacted a law and II
sufficient number of voters cared enough
about the matter to call for its rati-
fication by the people of the state be-
fore it went into effect, then these
who cared would call for a referen
dunn of the act tt the people. The
governor would be bound to appoint a
day for such popular vote. II the law
were rejected. then the action of the
legislature would be void. Again, II a
sufficient number of voters desired a
law which the legislature did not care
to pass they could take the initiative
and demand that a draft of the bill be
submitted to the people at a popular
election, and once more the governor
would issue a call for such popular vote
If the people passed the law. the legis-
lature would be obliged to follow AMI
enact it.
