SELF GOVERNMENT
albuquerque Tribune .Citizen)

NRluu1uCiHuCi lIlUuuC'SiIlbCH)
The referendum seems generally to be
misunderstood People apparently be.
lieve it 10 be something strange new
device, whose merits and demerits are
vague and uncertain. In truth it is a
plan universally followed in all parlia-
mentary bodies. Without it parliamen-
tary law is impossible. Its absence
from legislative assemblies is possible
only through the substitution of that
meanest and most irritating of all tyran-
nies, the rule Of the gavel.
The referendum and initiative are the
means by which self-government is Sc
cured by any group of men under any
conditions whatsoever. Interference
with these is just so much subtracted
from the fact of self.government.
In deliberatiye bodies a chairman is
selected to preside. His duty is upon
demand to enforce the rules that may
be adopted. If any decision rendered
by him is thought to be in violation of
these rules any member may appeal
l
| from such decision to the whole body,
This is the referendum. In the absence
of this right of appeal the presiding Of
ficer practically can do what he pleases.
If member wishes action on any
matter he makes motion to that effect,
and this on receiving the support of
second member, is placed before the
body for consideration and adoption or
rejection This is the initiative. In the
absence of this right 70 "move" men,
bers are without power to act.
If the people of city, state or the
nation are in truth to be self.governing
it seems inevitably to follow that they
must have at hand the means of making
the government to their bidding. The
people of the city of Chicago, Tor IN
stance, voted in favor of public owner
ship of their street car syotem, but theii
board of aldermen were able to thwart
the popular desire. The people of Phil
adelphia and many other places have
repeatedly found themselves unable to
achieve their wish. To many self-gov-
ernment has for such reason come to
be looked upon as an irridescent dream
This pessimistic view arises from the
fact that we are possessed of but par'
of the necessary machinery of self
government, We are like an engineer
| who has all essentials save the goVerhoi
His engine will ''go," but its action II
bey nd orderly control.
The initiative and referendum, takel
together, are called direct legislation
That is, Just as in any deliberative body
if the usual machinery does not produc'
desired dresults, the body can act directly
So, if our city or other governmet doe
not act rightly, the body of the people
when possessed of the machinery O
direct legislation, can act, or legislate
directly. Without this power they ar
not really self-governing.

With the cry OF Fir" OF a
week ago still ringing in their
ears, Estancians were Mortified
upon hearing the cry repeated
last night about nine O'Clock. In
vestigation proved it only too
true. The ruins this morning
show all of the block on the west
side of Main street, except the
concrete building occupied by
Hardin's Saloon on one corner
and Hughes Mercantile Compa-
ny's store building on the other,
one mass Of ashes, as also the
Van Stone residence,
AS nearly as can be learned the
fire originated in the Bakery, the
ceiling above the large oven be-
ing apparently the first to burn.
From this the fire spread quickly
both north and south. Willing
workers were at hand, and assist
ed in carrying out furniture from
the hotels, books and valuable
papers from the Offices, and doing
all possible to prevent spreading
of the flames. In several instances
dynamite was resorted to in order
to destroy small frame sheds and
buildings to prevent the fire COM
municating to other buildings.
Heroic work was done in nu-
merous cases, and to try to single
out the heroes would be to name
several score of people. Young
ladies held their places alongside
their brothers and fathers, never
once thinking Of firing. Several
parties were overcome by the in
tense heat while fighting the
flames. Earl Scott, in an attempt
to save the Van Stone home, was
forced to give up, When il
seemed impossible that any one
could do more, Ed O'Gilvray
worked like a Trojan. apparently
nerved by superhuman strength
Frank Stanhart was seen fighting
to save the Hughes store building
and miraculously his efforts, sec
onded by numerous others were
successful. But to name all woulc
be impossible.
