In the House.
The fight on the initiative and refer
endum proposition has begun in the
house. Representative Leiper, for the
privileges and election committee, to
which the direct legislation bills in-
troduced by Lanstrum and Dempster
had been referred, reported with
substitute bill differing in many par
ticulas from the Lanstrum and Demp-
ster bills, which are identical and are
said to be copies of the Oregon direct
legislation law.
Lannin of Silver Bow, for the min
ority of the committee, submitted
report recommending the passage OF
the Lanstrum and Dempster bill.
The argument then began, Leiper
wanted tine substitute bill read that
the members might know something
about it before adopting the minority
report. Everett declared that the Lam
strum and Dempster bill was not, as
had been stated, copy of the Oregon
law. and he declared it one OF the
most loosely drawn documents he had
ever seen.
