souri, Want Peoples Laws.
The object Of the Initiative and
referendum according to the
above named league is to educate
the people and give them a
chance to vote intelligently at
the general election in Novem-
Der, 1905, when the constitutional
amendment is TO be submitted.
1t is proposed as follows:
IF the Initiative we're a part
Of our constitution, then 8 per
cent Of the qualified voters of the
state, (Which in a state like Mis-
souri, would amount to about 60,
Oo0l, could sign a petition stating
that they desired a certain law
enacted, and under the Prov
sions of the Initiative, if the leg
islature did not pass such a law,
it would have to be submitted to
the whole people of the state and
at the next general election, it
would be printed on all ballots
of every party and all the voters
of the state, irrespective of party,
could vote yes or no on the ques
ton, and, if approved by a major
.ity, it would become a law at
once by this action of the people,
and without the necessity of re-
ceiving the consent of the legis-
lature or the governor. BE it
enacted by the People of the
State of Missouri, instead of, as
at present. BE it enacted by the
Legislative Assembly of Nilsson
III"
with the Referendum in force
if the legislature passed a law
that was obnoxious TO the people
or that the people considered I'M
just or oppressive, or if the legis-
lature gave away for little or
nothing a valuable franchise that
the people did not want given
away, then 5 per cent of the yot-
ers of the state could, within 90
days after adjournment Of the
Legislature, sign a petition de
handing that the law be refer
red TO the vote of the whole peo-
pie of the state and under the
provisions, it could be printed on
all ballots of every party at the
next general election. If reject
ed by a majority Of the voters, it
would then become null and void
and be marked, Vetoed by the
people of Missouri If, how
ever, il was approved by a ma
ljority, then, and not before,
would it become a law and it
would read, BE it enacted by the
I People of the State Of Missouri. -

The attitude Of PENN s;sb u' \.
towark the Knox presrsv !
boom is being watched va MT
tense interest, because 1a
thought that Senator Knox is Sn sI
sort Of a man that a nucleus dst
opposition can form around to
the Taft boom. OF course, il
must be remembered, that the
President has never come out
openly in advocacy of the Taft
candidacy. But It is generally
accepted among politicians that
Taft is tbs Presidents choice,
and that opposition to him is op-
position to the Rooseyeltian
scheme Of things. Therefore,
there is a feeling among many of
the prominent men of the ReruD-
lican party, men who can and
Twill do things during the cam
paign, that they must have a rea
sonably decent alternative candi
date with whom to beat Taft for
the nomination. Foraker and
men of that silk are good Repub-
licans enough, and will work for
the party when it comes to the
final fight. But they are reac-
tonaries, and while their zeal to
beat the President is ardent,
they cannot be chosen to lead the
opposition fight. The people are
suspicious and viii have none
of them. 1t is not so with Knox.
He has proved a good lawyer and
a good politician in the past. He
is not a reactionary like Foraker,
and he has done something to-
ward trust busting in the govern
ment' s fight on the Northern Sc
curities Company. But he is re-
garded by the big business in
terests as a good deal safer
man than Secretary Taft, that
meaning probably that he will be
more amendable to influence. So
if the Pennsylvania delegation
is strongly for Knox, it means
that he win have a big state be-
hind him and he would seem 10
be the logical candidate for that
wing Of the party that wants a
safe and sane man" but does
not dare to pick a man who has
openly broken with the President
and who is openly hostile 20 his
policies. The Knox movement
is interesting and will bear
watching.
