first, second or third class, petit
ton signed by % per cent of the Yot-
ers participating in the election at
which the Official originally was
elected, is necessary to bring about
the election. In the case of a state
senator or representative. a precinct.
school district or city Official or an
official of a county lower than the
third class a - per cent petition is
necessary.
The amendment does not go
farther in the line of legislation, but
provides that laws carrying cut these
provisions III detail shall be passed
| by the Legislature if the amendment
is adopted.
In favor of this amendment it has
been urged that it will keep public
officials at all times within reach of
the people, that an unworthy officer
may be removed from his posi- ton
| without waiting for the next regular
election and that for these reasons
officials will be more likely to follow
the wishes of their constituents.
Against the bill it has been urged
that it would tend to make officials
less self-reliant; that ali would keep
their 'ears to the ground; that it
would discourage able men from
seeking office.
AS the recall amendment was or
iginally introduced by its friends,
| judges were not excepted from its
provisions, this change being made in
the legislature against the wishes of
the more radical opponents of direct
legislation However, the men who
originally introduced the amend
ment are urging its adoption, taking
| the ground that another amendment,
including judges. may be passed
! later
The initiative and referendum
amendments are two in number, it
being necessary to amend two sepa-
rate sections. The questions will APP
pear on the ballot in the following
form:
For Cor against) the proposed
amendment of section | of article 2
OF the constitution of the state Of
Washington, relating to legislative
powers and providing for the initia-
tive and referendum"
For Cor against the proposed
amendment of article of the con-
stitution of the state of Washington,
| by striking section 81 therefrom,
which relates TO the times when laws
take effect"
The adoption of both these amend
ments is necessary to make the in
itiatiye and referendum workable;
therefore any voter fayoring the in
itiative and referendum should vote
for both amendments and. Oh the re-
verse, voter opposed to the pro-
posed change should vote against
both.
The initiative and referendum
amendments, in brief. provide that
10 per cent of the number who voted
for governor at the last state election
may initiate legislation and that 9
per cent may. upon petition, prevent
an act of the legislature from going
