Any new legislation the people de-
sire enacted may be brought 10 a
vote in the same manner. But In
this case. the petition must be signed
by 80 per cent Of the qualified yot-
ers.
'"The people do not generally know
they have this power" declared Mr.
Bigelow, "but it is just one OF the
things that welt accomplished by
the Direct Legislation League dur
ing the last session of ~ '-~islature.'
The speaker then went on to ex-
plain that the purpose OF the organl-
zatlon was % select delegates to the
constitutional convention who were
absolutely pledged to the incOrpora-
ton of the Initiative and Referen-
dunn In the new constitution. He
urged that every candidate be pledg-
ed on this matter no matter where
he might stand on other questions
which would come up for solution.
This organization Is for no other pur-
pose than tho boosting OF the lnitia-
tive and Referendum

Ohio petitions to have the constitu-
tion amended, the secretary Of state

log-rolling incident to getting a bill
or resolution, through the legislature
for the same purpose.
What IL Means.
Mr.. Bigelow then went into an eX-
planation of Just what was meant
by the words Initiative and Referen-
DUN. The former. he explained,
gave the people the right to take a
vote on such legislation as they de-
sired, but which the Legislature had
not enacted. or attempted to enact.
IL would do away with the side-step-
ping of legislators and would COM
pei them to come out in the open and
declare themselves upon certain prin-
ciples which the people desired to be-
corlc laws.
The referendum was a sort OF veto
power vested In the people. Upon
petition, signed by the proper num-
Der OF voters. any legislation enacted
by the Legislature may be submitted
to the people under the referendum
clause, and II they desire, they may
kin 1t.
AS an Illustration Of this power he
cited the fact that several years ago
the city council of Cincinnati sold
railroad 1t owned for nineteen mil
lion dollars TO company OF Wall
street capitalists. The road was
reasonably worth thirty millions. Un-
der the terms Of the sale the capital
lists we're given one hundred years in
which 10 pay for the road.
Someone discovered that the law
carried a little referendum clause;
that the road could not be sold until
the proposition had been submitted
to the people of the queen city II
was submitted ano the sale was
Knocked out overwhelmingly. That's
Just one little thing that a little re-
fcrendum clause accomplished nthe
city Of Cincinnati .
This latter idea would make Il
foolish for corporations and monopo-
lies to corrupt legislators. for the
simple reason that the people them
selves would be the hnal court to
which the matter would be submitted,
and regardless of what the legisla-
ture might do, the people would COR
rect the evil and the corruptionists
would be powerless to affect their
purposes.

Of bears" whom, it is alleged. have

Wickersham agrees with Aiken on
the general proposition of cornering
the product for the purpose of in
creasing it's price is illegal. and that
similar cornering for the object of de-
pressing the price is likewise illegal.
Wickersham intinated the govern
