Initiative and Referendum.
On Thursday next week the initia-
tive and referendum is to be special
order in the house. Representative
Sullivan's referendum bill, now on
general orders, may be reached be-
fore that time, and should it pass
before the house has had an op-
portunity to consider the initiative
and referendum bill. a most novel
situation will be presented. Out of
the several bills introduced but two
are to be considered Representative
Pfender's bill provides for an initia-
tive petition consisting of IS pei
| cent of the voters. Mr. Campbells
bill provides for but eight per cent
of the voters to a petition to initiate
a bill.
1t is understood that Mr.. Campbell
| has agreed to substitute for his
! bill. This will be presented next
week. 1t will raise the initiative per-
centage to 10 per cent. and the re-
| ferendum percentage to per cent
| and it will prohibit the initiation OF
bills that have not been previously
considered by the legislature. 1t is
believed that this bill will be intro.
duced by Representatives Spooner
Republican; Kelly, Democrat and
Hillman, Public. Ownership.
Re-Apportionment.

smooth sailing through the senate
In fact there is grave doubt of it:

tions, don't like the way some dis
tricts in northern Minnesota are

by a dozen senators why it is tina

We can not answer their question:
intelligently because We are not o,

these reasons have no bearing upo1
party politics. Is it not time for tn
Duluth people to get wise and slov
the rest of the state that it stand
for honest re-apportionment?
