Several requests have been made in the
last week by teachers and principals of
schools that the much discussed initiative
and referendum and recall in the con-
stitution proposed for the state Of Ari-
iona be explained in the columns of The
Star in such manner that children in
the schools might understand them
These proposed sections Of the constt-
tuition are to give the people direct power
IN the matter of legislation and the con-
troll Of public officers.
By means Of the power Of initiative 10
per cent OF the qualified voters Of the
state, upon petition, have the right to
have any measure which they desire pro-
posed at the next election. If at this
election the measure receives a majority,
OF the votes it becomes a law. Fifteen
per cent of the voters have right to
petition for an amendment to the consti-
have any law enacted which they wish.
despite any attempts a legislature may
make to keep them from having it.
The power of referendum enables the
people to repeal a law in a similar man
ner. If per cent of the voters. accord
ing to the Arizona constitution, sign a
petition asking that a law in force be
voted upon at the next election, that law
Is voted upon and according to the direct
will of the people is either repealed, or
IL an insufficient number vote for its re-
peal, 1t remains in force.
The power OF recall may be termed
mild form Of impeachment. If after an
elected official has held his Office for a
sons equal to % per cent of the people
voting at the last election petition for
the recall OF that officer. vote is taken
as to whether he shall remain in Office
or not. At the same time a vote is taken
regarding other candidates for the posi-
ton. Other candidates for the position
are nominated the same as in any other
election. At the time OF the election the
voters cast their votes for the man of
their choice. If the incumbent of the
office receives a majority OF the votes he
retains his position, otherwise another
person is elected to fill IL.
There are. of course, many details to
these powers. qualifying them, providing
for expediency in fulfilling them. further
ing them. ETC., but the foregoing is Q
description of their rudiments.
