Initiative and referendum

Hon. John u. White. II cham
pion of the Initiative and Referen.
dam, an amendment to the State
constitution Ito be voted on at the
forthcoming election in NoveD-
ber). held forth last Tuesday 1T the
Presbyterian church. to il fair-sized
audience and his remaks while can
site in the extreme, acre heard with
much interest.
MIR. White was introduced by
Rev. f. +. Gibbs of the Methodist
church, paying the speaker we'll
deserved compliment. and also the
Direct Legislation league of Colo
RADIO, under whose auspices the lee
ture WAS given.
After explaining the meaning OF
the initiative in his simple. logical
way, saying that the signers OF the
petition We're simply seconding the
motion, and that the referendum
was practically referring the matter
to the whole people for their ap-
proval or rejection, Mr.. White
broadened out into the realm of
caustic criticism. his invidious
comparisons and ironical tlrusts
at men in high places seeming to
hold the audience as if spell
bound.
By far the most convincing feat
ure of the lecture was his comment
on the last legislature, showing be-
yopd the shadow of doubt that,
had this law been in operation, the
enormous burden saddIed upon the
people would have been impossi-
bic, showing at glance the neces-
sity of the people to check up on
their representatives.

crazed delirium, sought the lives of
many, but got only hers. The Car
