ton concurrent resolution for an
amendment of the constitution looking
to the adoption Of the initiative and
referendum. Myers yesterday offered

further boost when Senator Robertson,
floor leader for the Democrats, in

members chosen by the people
Their bill provides that the. board may
employ assistants and are at liberty to
individually inquire into the affairs of
