LEGISLATIVE
D o I N G s
Judge Lewis Criticism.

In his order forbidding the issue of
bonds If SO voted. Judge Lewis pays
his respects to the recent action OF
the Legislature as follows:
by that constitution they gave to
Congress the sole power of legislation.
BY the constitutions of the several
states they gave to their House of Rep
resentatives and their Senate the sole
and exclusive power of legislation.
They said on all of those constitutions
that they were the supreme law OF the
land. the supreme law OF the state. No
man has a right to complain if the
people in lawful ways abolish those
constitutions and take back to them
selves, by establishing a pure democ-
racy-not constitutional democracy
which now exists-the exclusive pow
er of legislation and all the powers Of
the government.
But the alarming situation is that
men who understand all of these prin-
ciples of government, will acquiesce in ,
overriding the constitution. not in abol-
ishing it. not first setting it aside and
taking back to themselves these pow
ers but while those constitutions are
in force, which they have said are the
supreme law of the land and which
they bind the courts by solemn oath
to enforce. they seek to override con-
stantly. So we have, here in Colorado.
or will have shortly. in defiance of
your constitution, by which you said:
The sole power OF legislation shall be
vested in Senate and House of Rep
resentatives,' a legislative act which
will so far curtail that power that
nothing but the shadow of it is left
with those bodies. and in the fact of
it, and in the face of your supreme
law by which you said the Senate and
House of Representatives should have
that power, you, it seems to me, say.
We have it. say view these mat
ters with alarm, because it is rev.
olution against which | have no right
to complain, but an unlawful revolu-
ton until those constitutions are
abolished or changed and modified"

nounce that he would vote for the
measure.

am willing that it should be submitted
to the people. l don't believe in the
principle. but l am ready to let the
people vote on the constitutional
amendment. and promise that in my
district there will be big majority
against it,
The Elbert County tribune., 1910-09-16


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
demand. 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, as
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

sent indications the wholesale and re-

surrounding territory will suffer .
marked decrease within the next few
days. Dispatches from other cities
show that the prices of pork have been
greatly reduced and the local market
is expected to be similarly affected

At Kansas City a reduction ranging
from a cent to two and a half cents

Seventeen and one-half cents a pound
for pork chops was the prevailing
price, where 20 to % cents a pound
was the price several weeks ago.
In Boston similar conditions pre-
vailed. Beef went down nearly five
points and pork products suffered a
like decline. The prices of nearly an
lines of fresh vegetables were also af-
fected. The butter and egg market
held firm and vas slightly higher at
the close Of til day than a few days
previous.
1t is expected also that the prices Of
poultry and vegetables will undergo a
drop in the local markets. Commits
sion men would not admit that this
was likely to happen soon, but when
told that the retail meat dealers had
forecasted a drop in the prices of
meats, they admitted that the poultry

cused from answering as to whether
the local market would be affected.
