cific or any political machine
came the question of perpetuatine
the powers with the people.
The\ determination of the ad-
ministration to accomplish its
design was furnished in the An
derson incident, in such striking
fashion that none could longer
doubt the effectuation of the
pledge made during the cam
paign.
The method Immediately sug.
gested itself, of enabling the PEG.
pie to protect themselves in the
future and to perpetuate theil
power, was the initiative and
referendum.
The constitution of the state OF
California, in common with most
provided the mode
of legislation. To give to the
people the initiative and the ref
erendum-the right directly tc
legislate for themselves, and the
right directly to check any leg
islation deemed inimical to their
interests-could be accomplished
only by the amendment Of the
constitution. Accordingly, con-

pared, presented to the two
houses and with but little oppo-
sition passed for, submission to
the people.
