Two Proposed Amendments.

In the election on the l4th of this
month, the voters Of the state, In addi-
ton TO giving their votes for the several
candidates for office, will be given an
opportunity to vote on two proposed
amendments to the constitution OF
Maine. As, under the present system, a
separate ballot will be furnished each
voter for these amendments, instead OF
their being placed on the same ballot
with the candidates for office, no voter
can plead, as an excuse for not voting
on them, that he forgot it.
The first, and the more important OF
the two amendments, concerns the
adoption of the initiative and referen-
dunn. These terms are no doubt gen.
orally understood. In brief and in
general terms, the referendum means
that on the petition of certain number
Of voters, any general law passed by the
legislature may be submitted to the
people for their vote. II their vote sus.
tains that law, it remains law. IL the
vote of the people is against the law, II
ceases to be law. BY the initiative,
new legislation may be begun in 9
similar manner.
The referendum 10 a comparatively
now feature in government, and car
hardly be regarded as being past the
experimental stage in this country. The
examples of q referendum, of which we
have had few In Maine in the past ten
years, have not demonstrated that more
than q small fraction of the voters will
be sufficiently interested in any propo
sition to cast their vote on 1t. But the
adoption of the referendum may in itseli
be educative in this respect, and in any
event, 1t In theory puts the government
nearer the people, and ought to do it in
practice. II Is to be hoped that the
amendment will be passed.
The other amendment is a change BY
which proposed amendments to the con
stitution, instead Of being voted upon
at the regular biennial election, shall b
voted upon at q special election in the
September after they are proposed.
For instance, an amendment TO the con.
stitution, proposed by the legislature
which meets next winter, would be
voted upon at . special election in Sep
TENDER, 1909, rather than at the regular
state election in September, 1910. Thi'
change will make small expense for a.
extra election, but 1t will get the vote or
the amendment away from all the excite
ment and influence Of the partisan con
test Of the regular election-in Other
words, 1t will stake 1t out OF politics. y
Make your cross In the "yes" square
on both propositions.
