TOO MANY AMENDMENTS
Few, If Any, Citizens Understood
All Laws Proposed by
Initiative.

Whatever the outcome of the election
may otherwise be, this matter of pro-
posed amendments to the constitution
should be taken up and given serious
consideration. In addition to an
enormous number of candidates, the
voters were called upon to vote on
eleven different questions Of proposed
laws, amendments to the constitution
III referendum petitions, the title to
none of which was stated with a
deflniteness that made clear its mean
ing
That all the people could have voted
intelligentIy on these questions it is
ridiculous to assume. That many
intelligent citizens, who flatter them
selves that they always are completely
abreast of the times, failed to weigh
all of these matters is entirely likely.
Indeed, it may he said, it almost re-
quired specialist to reach clearly
definite conclusions on the merits Of
all of these questions presented to the
general consideration of the voters.
1t is quite evident from this election
that: First, the title to every one Of
these proposed amendments or petit
tions should be made so definite that
no one will be left in doubt as to what
they really propose; second, that there
should be more definite limitations to
the number of questions submitted so
that all people may be able to vote up
on them with becoming intelligence.
