Legislative Matters.

From the following Carson dispatch
to the Reno Gazette, it will be seen that
steps are being taken to submit the
police law to a vote Of the people under
the constitutional amendment adopted
IN 1901. The amendment provides that
the question may be submitted to Il vote
OF the people at any general election:
The fact that Nevada has passed a
state police law has not hintered the
union forces in their action 20 repeal the
measure.

10y such laws may Je voted upon by the
