The Initiative
And Referendum.

Today or tomorrow Representative
West will introduce a bill providing
for the initiative and the referendum.
This subject has been before the
people for some time and we believe
that now is the opportune time for It
to be put before the people of Florida
It viii have to be passed by the legis-
lature and then adopted by the people
OF the state before it becomes opera
tive and at that time the people can
go into the subject as fully as they de-
sire. The introducer of the bin, in ex-
planning the two subjects, says in part:
''The initiative enables the people to
initiate legislation-that is to say :.
enables them to originate, propose and
adopt legislation, independent Of the
legislature. It does not, however, with
hold or withdraw from the legislature
its power or right to legislate upon any
subject.
"The referendum means the suffering
Of a law to the people for decision at
the polls-that is to say If the legs
lature shall pass an act that is objec-
tionable, a fixed number, usually FIVE.
eight or ten per cent of the qualified
electors of the state may, by petition,
have the act submitted to the people
for ratification or rejection, and in the
meantime its operation is suspended.
"The purpose and object of these
measures are to bring the people and
the government nearer together, and
recognize the sovereignty Of the pep
pie"
Some Of the brainiest men of all
parties have endorsed the initiative
and the referendum, and it is a good
Democratic principle. Among the sew
eral states which have adopted this
plan. none OF them have pronounced it
bad-on the contrary it Is giving
thorough satisfaction.
People want to have a part IN The
affairs of government. They are be-
coming students of public measures
and are thoroughly competent to bt
trusted to decide what they want. Il
the people can't be trusted in one cas-
they cannot be trusted in another; i
they can properly choose their repre-.
sentatives they are competent to gov.
ern themselves.
The legislature will not decide thi:
issue. The originator of the bill put,
it in the form OF a constitutions
amendment. This being the case ther,
should not be fight against. its pass
age by the legislature for the peopJ,
win have the right to decide.

April thirteenth is the birthday of
Thomas Jefferson. In some places 1t
will be observed fttingly by the be-
levers in the teachings and ideas Of
this great exponent of Democracy. 1t
should be observed generally through
out the country with, appropriate -exer-
cises. People would be wiser If this
were done and the public would be
given a better idea Of what real democ-
racy is. Jefferson was one of the
greatest OF the great and April thir-
teenth should be observed each year.

rally widened today, when the senate
investigating committee decided to al
low Lorimer's counsel to question the
motives which might have prompted
any official of the International Har-
ester company to promise Lorimer po-
litical advancement. This gave Lori
mer's counsel all the latitude desired
in taking the statement of General
Manager Clarence S. Funk of the In
ternational Harvester company that
Edward Hines of Chicago, had asked
that company to contribute $4,000 on
account of Lorimer's election expense.
Attorney Hanecy for Mr.. Lorimer,
referred to the statesment as a
creation" The attorney further said
he desired to show that there were re-
ports that Senator Lorimer was not
only opposed to the International Har-
veser company, but that he was the
moving spirit behind the tax proceed
ins as result of which the members
OF the Mccormick family, who were
interested in the harvester company,
were subjected to an increase in taxes
from $4,000 or $4,000 to $5OO.O0O. 81
