Washington. April 10. (Spl. On
the same day when Socialists, Eugene
v. Debs and the Appeal to Reason
were denounced on the floor q The
House FOR having initiated the agita-
ton for the referendum and recall a
speech was made in favor Of a bill
Ito prohibis members Of congress
from taking money from capitalists
land corporations The speech against
Socialists and democracy was made
| BY Representative Gardner Of Mass
achusetts, and the speech in 1aYoc
of an anti-graft law was made BY
Representative Randell, Of Texas
It was rather q curious coincidence
that an hour or 50 after Gardner had
waxed eloquent over the infallibilIty
Of judges and legislators that Ran
dali should take the floor IN behalf
Of his bill ITO prevent graft ~ pro-
hibiting the giving or receiving of
gifts employment, or compensation
from certain corporations by Sena-
tors, Representatives Delegates. or
resident Commissioners in the Con
gress Of the United States and the
Judges and Justices Of the United
states courts, and prescribing penal
ties therefor.
For eight years bin Of this kind
proposed By Randell has been before
Congress and it still remains q bill
it does not take much specializing
OF reasoning to figure out the reason.
AS Randell puts Il, IAN investigation
would show that the majority of the
members OF this House and Of the
Congress are engaged in supplements
today which the passage Of that bill
would stop.

Of the Hub store has shown no dis
position to be fair in the matter, but.
on the contrary, has shown by its at
titude, that the store does not wish
the patronage Of union men. their

pected to acquaint all the Workersof

FIGHT for |. &R. Ended in Ohio
Constitutional Convention:

Constitutional Convention:
The proposed Jaw will be drafted
and sent out to every county in this
state. Petitions will. be circulated
and the signatures of voters, equal
to six percent of hhe total vote of the
state will be secured from at least
half Of the counties. When the re-
i quired number have signed, the pc
titions will be filed with the secre-
tary of state, who, in turn, will pre-
sent the proposed law with the Pc
tition to the legislature.
The legislature may pass it, in
which case it becomes a law. unless
referendum petition signed by six
percent of the voters of the state, re-
quests that it be submitted TO the
people for approval for or rejection,
| in which instance it is held up until
the people have had the chance to
vote on 1t.
If the legislature does not like
the provisions of the bill, presented
to it by the people, it may draft and
pass another one to dts liking and
have it submitted to 6he people as
competing measure"
If there are two measures on the
same subject, the question will be
submitted to the people in this ways.

Neither Measure ............
For Initiative Measure ......
For Legislative Measure 49,.
If the voter is in favor of the prin-
cipIe of the measure, he will place
his eross-mark in the square opposite

Next he will designate which mea-
sure he wants, the initiated measure

fers the initiative measure, that is,

mark in the square opposite the

Columbus, Ohio. Here is the COM
ment of Herbert s. BigeloW, leader of
the progressive forces i'm the Consti-
tutional Convention, upon the pass
age of the /. & R. Proposal.
"The Initiative and Referendum
cause has won. The fifteen years
war is ended. OF course, there comes
the vote at the polls, but that will
not win be battle. II will be a eel
ebration. We shall then celebrate
the establishment in Ohio of real pop
ular government. The proposal
which passed is as good as that OF
any yet adopted in America. 1t is
more liberal even than the Oregon
amendment, which has served for ten
years as the model.
With this machinery of direct leg
islation, the politicians will be help
less in the hands Of the people. The
corporation lobby with its blighting
influence will pass away. Public in
terest will take THE place Of apathy.
Patriotism will have a new meaning.
The citizen will be sovereign.
To be sure, the work depends. more
upon the workmen than the tools,
but there never has been any trou-
BILE with the electors of the state.
They are as intelligent and progress
sive here as anywhere, in the jim
ion.
With these new tools of govern
ment they will rebuild the common
wealth. They win set to work. to
solve with justice and mercy the in
creasing problems of these serious
times"
Put into condensed form the pro
posal as it passed the convention pro
ddes for the following:
The Initiative and Referendum pro
posal provides in brief for the indi
rect, or Legislative, method of init
ating desired laws and constitutional
amendments, and also the dlrec'
methods of Initiating constitutional
amendments; and in addition the ref
