By attaching the emergency clause
to the initiative and referendum bill,
the Senate made it possible to submit
the constitutional amendment to the
people at the approaching election. SO
that two years hence the people can
initiate and refer the measures they
cemand. Included in the bill is a pro
vision which will give all cities and
towns the right to the initiative and
referendum in their local affairs. az
soon as the people adopt the amend
ment at the polls. The bill, therefore,
establishes the peoples rule not only
in statewide affairs but in the affairs
OF the political units within the state.
When Gov. Shafroth heard the news
he Immediately sat down and penned
letter to William Jennings Bryan,
telling all about the famous fight and
victory. The governor felt that the
passage of the bill was an all-sufficient
vindication OF the extra session. This
victory alone pays ten times over the
cost OF the extra session thus far" he
said.
