II the votes Of the readers of the
Beriiner Tageblatt may be accepted

unpopular that It Is likely to provoke
an attempt to secure q popular veto.
While no general trial of the law has
been had in that state it has been
tried in more limited scale. The
Grant County Review of that state
recently contained the following item:
1.-The Referendum was invoked at the
recent municipal election in Aberdeen
for the first time in the State since the
Referendum and Initiative consti-
tutional amendment was adopted q
few years ago. The city council had
granted certain electric light and gas
franchises to private parties, and the
Socialists invoked the Referendum
and defeated the ordinances passed by
the city council by q majority Of $50
votes. Without attempting to discuss
the merits of the questions at issue,
the resort to the Referendum by the
people presents an interesting and in
structive lesson, from which it is seen
that under this wise law the people
have it in their power to nullify any
legislation Objectionable to a major
ity OF the voters which may be passed
by q legislature or city council,
The principle is right.
y = Even the legislature OF the state OF
Illinois came dangerously near SUBJ
hitting an amendment adopting the
principle of the initiative and referen-
dunn as part of the organic law of
the state. The following was the re-
suit of the ballot in the house, which
lacked eleven votes in the affirmative
to carry the necessary two-thirds.
