The typical initiative and referen-

the theory that, however careless each
one of US may be, however lacking In
definite and close study, yet in our

"The referendum" Mr.. Mccall said.
would afford a ready means for the
cowardly legislator to dodge instead
of bravely voting against some bad
but specious bill
"The recall of the judiciary would
subject our judges to the liability OF
having to argue their decision on ap-
peal before the people upon pro-
ceeding to dismiss them from office in
disgrace. The Judge who desired to
continue on the bench would more
diligently study the popular moods
than the sources of law"
