VIII Submit s2 Measures.

Denver.-Thirty-two subjects have
been filed in the office of the secre-
tary of state for submission to the peo-
pie at the next general election un-
der the initiative and referendum. The
Direct Legislation League. which has
several petitions, the state highway
commission and others are to be heard
from.
Five constitutional amendments and
laws we're referred to the people by
the Legislature, seven bills passed by
the last Legislature have been referred
to the people by petition. and eighteen
proposed laws and constitutional
amendments have been initiated.
Secretary of State Pearce declares
he will economize in having the meas
ures printed In the newspapers of the
state. There is question whether pub
lication is required in four or five is
sues. the constitution reading that
bills submitted to the people must be
printed for four successive weeks.
Most editors contend that it is i'm
possible to publish for four successive
weeks without having the advertise
ment appear in five issues of weekly
newspaper.
If 1T is held that five publications
are necessary the state must pay 4S
cents an inch additional to every
newspaper used.
Secretary Pearce says he will not
advertise in daily newspapers every
day for four weeks. but will select one
day of the week and make the publica-
ton four times.
