The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1911-05-31

The current number of the National
Monthly contains an interesting and
instructive article by Governor John F.
Shafroth, of Colorado, on the Initiative
and Referendum" which Twill give TO
the readers of the Climax a clear con-
ception Of the actual working Of this
progressive democratic measure that
has proved highly satisfactory in a
number Of the western states.
The article of Governor Shaforth is as
follows:
The two most important measures
that have been devised by men to COM
pei true representative government in
States and cities, are the initiative
and referendum laws. The principal
upon which they are founded are those
which in expressions in the deelara-
tion Of Independence in the state
ment that the just powers of govern
ment are decided from the consent Of
the governed.
The initiative law is that which
gives to the people the right by Pc
tition to compel the submission of
proposed ordinances and laws to the
voters of the city or state, and makes
them effective by a majority vote.
The law in Colorado provides that citi-
.Eens 10 the number Of eight per cent,
Of the vote cast at the last preceding
general election may sign and file in
the Office of the secretary of State
four months before a general election,
petition for the passage of any law,
setting forth in full such proposed law.
Thereupon the Secretary Of State shall
publish the proposed law, with notice
that question Of its adoption win be sub
mitted at the next general election to
the voters, who shall by short designa-
ton printed on the ballot, vote for or
against the same.
II the law is approved by majority
of the votes cast, the measure becomes
law of the state. As it is laborious
and expensive to procure the signature
Of the requisite number Of voters to the
petition, the legislature is always ap-
pealed to first to enact the measure

line Of reasoning can people object to
the win Of that majority. being express
ed directly by the people who constitute
that majority
True representative government does
not exist at the present time.
The corrective Of retiring legislators
from Office at the next general election
is too remote to be effective. The law
Of the initiative removes the temptation
of the legislator to vote against the will
of the people, because it removes the
interest of those seeking special privi-

Borden Makes I asst tard
Against Reciprocity

HALIFAX. N. g.. Sept 19.-R. J..
Borden. the opposition leader. issued
final appeal TO the people OF Can
ada last night to defeat reciprocity.
The appeal. In the form OF signed
statement. declared that the people
now understand that they are called
on to determine not mere question
of markets, but the future destiny OF
Canada.
He appeals to Liberals and Con-
servatives alike and says he speaks
not as a party leader but as a Can
adam citizen whose hopes are bound
up. with. the hopes OF his country.
While he says that the outlook is
full OF hope, he believes that we are
In truth standing at the parting Of the
ways" and he therefore begs the peo-
pie TO cast a soberly considered vote
'for the preservation of our heritage.
for the maintenance OF our CONNER
clal and political freedom and for the
permanence of Canada as an autonom-
Gus nation within the British empire.
Mr.. Borden's statement follows:
ITO the people OF Canada: As this
campaign closes and the solemn duty
confronts us of deciding for all time,
the most momentous question ever
submitted TO the Canadian electorate,
I declare with perfect sincerity to my
fellow countrymen that the outlook
is full OF hope. The keen attention
which the people have given to the
discussion OF this question has made
the few weeks OF this campaign far
more revealing than months Of ordi-
nary debate. Throughout this do
minion the electorate now understand
that they are called upon to determine
not a mere question OF markets. but
the future destiny Of Canada. perhaps
OF the empire"
