Direct Legislation by the People.

urged against the extension Of the use
OF the referendum In legislation Is that
the people do not take enough Interest

them. It is poiLt.d out that in cleo
tions where propositions are to be voted
on as we'll an candidates great many
fail to vote on the propositions at all.
Doubtless 1t is true that specific propo-
sitions Of legislation will not draw out
such q large vote as the personality OF
candidates. But that Is not necessarily
. good argument against the referen-
dunn. Much Uf the interest that is made
