The Referendum.

South Dakota's adoption of the refer.
endum will attract much public atten-
tion. This method has long been prac.
ticed in Switzerland.
The adoption of this process. OF law
making by SoOth Dakota was effected
by majority of the citizens voting in
favor OF an amendment to the constitus.
tion OF the state embodying such pro-
cess. 1t provides that whenever ne
many as per cent Ct the registered
voters OF the state demand any special
legislative act, the Legislation must at
the ensuing election submit the PROPOSE
tion to the people. Should the mRiori.
ty OF the voters approve it at the polls,
the set becomes q law.
A second provision Is that II per
cent of the voters formally object to 9
bill which has been passed by the leg.
islatuTe, the bill must be submitted to
the people at the following election, and
must stand or fall according to the pop
ular voice expressed in the ballot box.
One of the evils calling 70: such a de-
partUre in lawmaking is the passage oi
go many class and franchise grabbing
acts by Legislature. The people have
been robbed ofmsny valuable franchise:
through the instIumentalities of legisla-
lures corrupted by lobbies working in
pay Of corporations. The referendum
instituted by the citizens of South Da'
Kota is one of the means invented to eut
of, II possible, this scandalous evil
for this reason the working OF the ex
pertinent in that young commonwealth
viii be closely watched Republic.
