For the better understanding by
the people Of the Initiative and
Referendum l will give the sub
stance of the constitutional amend
ment adopted by the people of
South Dakota at the 1898 election.
The Initiative-the amendment
provides that when five per cent. of
the voters petition the Legislature
to pass law the Legislature must
pass it and submit it to a vote of
the people, and if a majority of
the people voting on the law vote
for it it becomes law; but if a
majority vote against it it is null
and void. The law may be drawn
up by any person and petition cir
culated by any person. This Is
called the ''Initiative." The Ref
erendum-when the Legislature on
its own motion passes a law then
such law shall not go into force
until certain length Of time after
its passage. If before that date
five per cent. of the voters of the
State, or county if local law, pc
tition that such law be submitted
to a vote of the people then the
law will not 60 into force until
voted on by the people, and if at
such election a majority vote
against the law it will be void and
of no effect; but if a majority vote
for it it will be valid and binding.
This is called the Referendum"
Certain laws which most necessarily
go into immediate effect are ex-
cepted from the Referendum. The
Imperative Mandate-the people
now elect a man to Office for a GER
tain term and after he gets in he
can hold Oh until his time is out
unless he is impeached, which is a
slow process, and he cannot be i'm
peached for mere failure to carry
out promises. In case Of u law
maker he can 60 back on every
promise he made to get elected.
Under the Imperative Mandate the
people can end All officials term
whenever they want to or for cause
they can recall an officer any time.
1t is believed that the Initiative
and Referendum and Imperative
Mandate would not often be used.
rs the officers with this power in
the people would generally repre-
sen, the wishes of tho people.
