REFERENDUM FEARED
MISREPRESENTED BY THOSE EN-.
JOYiNG SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
All Legislation Not Submitted to a
Popular Vote Under the Optional
system Which is Working Well in
Many Places

The voters right to demand vote
prevents vicious legislati, !.
The referendum system has a quiet
way of preventing grating and fraud
that bothers the monopolists. The
principal argument or those opposed
to the referendum and the initiative
is that the people will be constantly
called upon to vote on all questions.
Experience shows that nothing is
further from the fact than this con-
slant voting. The fear of the refer
endum is generally enough to prevent
the passage Of legislation that will
not endure discussion.
Effect in Grand Rapids
Only a few days ago IT, city coun-
Gil of Grand Rapids, Mich, under
the stimulating influence of the agents
of the tandard Oil Trust, passed an
ordinance granting J. ocial privileges
10 LUdl III c"Nh~J JO~-S -
A petition for a referendum vote on
the ordinance was started, but before
it was signed by the necessary num-
Der of voters, the aldermen recon
sidered their action and the ordinance
was referred back to the ordinance
committee with instructions to frame
a general ordinance.
That shows the advantage OF the
optional referendum whereby the
voters have the option of calling for
a vote on any disputed question.
Many honest people confound the
compulsory referendum, which re-
uuires a vote to be taken, even II
everyone is known r favor the meas
ure: while an optional referendum
must be petitioned for by 5 per cent

Optional system Effective

In the states that have incorporated
the optional referendu system in
their constitution, but few votes have
been called for. In Oregon but one
bill has been referred to the people,
though two bills have been initiated.
In South Dakota there has not been
one referendum vote called for and
the reason Is given ! y Governor Her.
riod, a republican, who says:
Since the referendum law has been
part OF our constitution we have had
no charter-mongers or railway spec
ulators, no wildcat schemes submit
ted to our legislature. Formerly our
time was occupied o., speculative
schemes of one kind or another; but
since the referendum has been made
a part of the constitution, these peo-
pie do not press their schemes on the
legislature, and hence t.ere is no ne
cessity for having recourse to the
referendum"
In those cities where the people
have the right to demand a referen-
dunn vote, similar experience proves
the value .Of the optional system and
how seldom vote is petitioned for.
An Incomplete Law
In Chicago, where the advisory ref
erendum law requires twenty-five per
cent of the voters to petition for a
vote to be taken, there have been,
during the past three years, seven
referendum votes, and when it is con-
al hof Oh clio oft1pn
must be obtained to petition, it
shows the absorbing interest the vot-
ers have shown in their effort to OBJ
tain municipal owl rship of street
railroads, for six of these referendum
votes were on that question. Every
vote was overwhelmingly favorable to
municipal ownership, but the monopol-
lists have, by devious tricks, COM
PEELED the voters to go to all this ex-
pense and trouble and still another
vote will probably be required before
the will of the people will triumph
over the corporations. These numer
GUS votes in Chicago are due to an
incomplete law, but that was all that
could be wrung from legislature,
notoriausly controlled by the corpora
lions.
OF course. it will be impossible to-
make the mononolists, and those who
RELY on corruption to pass legislation
acknowledge that the referendum will
not keen the reople constantly VOTING
and thew decline to recogni7e the
great difference between the compul-
sorry referendum and tha OntiOnal ref
erendum.
