that the people in that part of his dis

GR0W|NGIMP0RThN1
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
oUTclAssEs ALL ELSE.
AMENDMENTS ARE IN ORDER
Attempts on sseasure Will Not ee o.
rect, but Efforts Will Be
Made to Warp Il Out
.: Shape.

The fate Of the initiative and ref
ere1dum amendment to the state con
stitution is fast assuming more i'm.
pOrtance in legislative circles than
any other measure which mas yet put
in an appearance or which is likely to
appear. This includes even the county
option bill. on the support OF which
the last campaign was almost wholly
fought out. Fully three-fourths of the
members Of both houses are pledged
to the initiative and referendum. per.
sonally as well as by their platforms.
The question arises as to just what
kind Of a bill they are pledged. and
1t Is believed that many members who
pledged because of popular pressure
will seek to amend the bills sponsored
by the direct legislation league of Ne
braska in such a way that it friends
will hardly recognize it. By seeking
to amend the bill no member will con-
slider that he is going back on his
pledge to support a constitutional
amendment.
County option was the chief issue in
the last campaign. No bill has yet ap-
peared emb0dying that principle, al
though at a conference held last week
1t was decided that two bills only. one
In the senate and one in the house,
should be introduced. and the form 1t
shall take was decided upon. These
bills will probably appear this week.
The reason that the initiative and
referendum is rather supplanting
county option in importance is that
many supporters Of the former meas
ure have grave doubts as to whether
they will be able to muster votes
enough to pass II. In case of defeat of
this measure It is expected that the
next test Of strength will be made
through the initiative and referendum.
