THE INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM
AND RECALL

, a very effective check on corruption
in public affairs. For this reason, no
| money Is likely TO be spent to infiu-
ence legislators to give concessions
to corporations, for when the referen-
dunn il duly authorized as a part Of
the state contitution, the people may
veto all such corrupt transactions,
and thus render them nugatory and
void.
Under the recall. any public officer
may be recalled from ONCE by the
filing of a petition signed say by 25
per cent Of the number OF electors
who voted in his district at the last
election. II the people have the right
to hire, they certainly have the right
to fire. This petition must set forth
the reasons OF the recall. No petit
ton can be circulated against any
public officer until he has been in Of
fee a reasonable length of time. The
man TO be recalled has the right to
run again for office at the special
] election. At the special election, the
|, man receiving the highest number OF
votes is declared elected. The spe-
cial election is held at the expense OF
the public. There can be no second
recall petition against any public Of
ficer, unless the petitioners first pay
the entire expense OF the first recall
petition.
The very fact that there exists such
an agency to which the people can re-
sort cannot fail to give a great moral
uplift to the feeling of responsibility
to the people on the part of all who
occupy public Offices. The recall,
grant, should be restricted in its OPP
erations, since II is so drastic in Its
effects. Therefore a higher percent
age of the voters interested should
be required to give legality to re-
call petition than the percentage re-
CURED to sustain the initiative, the
referendum and the recall petition.
After condemning the initiative, the
referendum and the recall "as the
most insidious, vicious and unconsti-
tutional proposition ever brought for
ward in the history OF Democratic in
stitutions and representative govern
ment; and after having reviewed the
struggle for representative govern
ment in England, and its elimination
in these United States" Mr.. Baker
declares, "the separate and indie
pendent action Of each voter, when
you come right to It, is idiotic."
resent this insult and so should every
man who has ever cast a vote into
the ballot-box. Sifted down to the last
analysis, this statement is equivalent
to saying that the people are incap-
able Of self-government. Permit me
to present a few unanswerable argu
ments to prove the contrary.
Undoubtedly there are some people
who are sincere in their belief that
the people have not as yet reached

The great question of the day is
how to make and keep the govern
ment of these United States really
representative of the people. The
great task OF the time is to combat
with those powerful and insidious
forces that are constantly seeking to
undermine the superstructure OF gov
eminent.
The initiative, the referendum and
the recall have been proposed az Of
fective means to remedy the evils.
They have engaged the attention Of
all; and they have in turn been
extolled and condemned. But of one
thing We are certain-The more the
people study them, the more they
understand them; the more do they
realize that the initiative, the refer
one idea-that OF placing full control
OF public affairs into the hands Of
the people, where II rightfully be-
longs. Understanding this complete
ly, the opposition and suspicion of
the people melt away and they eager
ly embrace that for which they have
so long sought In vain.
The three are essentially true re-
forms. The most important OF these
reforms is the initiative. What will
IL do?
The Initiative, as its name implies.
proposes to give to the people the
power to initiate bills without any In
Prevention on the part Of the legisla-
tors, and IL they desire, to enact them
into laws. This power also extends
to proposing amendments to the
state constitution.
The initiative Is not designed, as
Fred A. Baker says, to destroy rep
resentative government But rather
its aim il to give us true represents
tive government. / grant that the mi.
tiative should not be used with ref.
erence to too many questions at one
time. Yet, on the other hand, its
scope should never be so restricted
as to exclude important questions,
Such a course could not be justifiable
The reason why too many questions
should not be given to the people at
one time. Is this: The people would
not sufficiently study the questions
TO vote wisely. Wherever the people
have the. necessary information on
certain questions relative to govern
mental affairs, they can be trusted
to vote prudently and wisely. But
they cannot be expected to do every.
thing. There are some problems with
which the people can best deal direct.
ly. There are other problems which
the legislature can better handle to
advantage.
The real purpose OF the initiative Is
TO act as an incentive to good con-
duct on the part of our public SER
wants.
