Initiative and Referendum
By
MISS AGNES SIMMONS.

In defining these terms we say that
the Initiative gives to the people the
right of proposing legislation to be
acted upon. IL a certain per cent OF
the voters sign a petition for law and
file il with the proper official it must
come before the legislature and perhaps
before the people.
Referendum is reference to the
popular vote OF question whether or
not a measure shall become law.
American state constitutions and
amendments thereto are adopted by
a popular vote and special measures
are sometimes submitted by Legislative
action to the decision of the electors.
ln some cantoGs Of Switzerland
method resembling the referendum has
been practce3 since the 18th century,
According to this Swiss amendments
must be ratified by the Swiss electorate
or voters before they become a law
Historically the Referendum is one OF
most common methods Of getting the
popular will.
The referendum is the submission of
measure by the legislature or CHER
representative body To the voters for
approval on rejection. 1t gives to the
people veto power only. The object IN
view is lot to abolish the representative
system, but to substitute guarded
representative system for an irrespon
sIOle one.
Last year the great state of California
voted three to one in favor of adopting
the initiative, referendum and recall.
This Deliberate decision of great state
was significant of something moving IN
the public mind. 1t Is noR too late To
indulge in the charitable notion that
state which adopts this system is moved
by spasm of protest against particu-
larly bad condition of its own or doml-
mated by tue mob spirit. Laws sub
stantially similar to these of CalIfornIa
have been adopted in Oregon, South

ship" on which young sailors go
through a regular daily training. The
Iltis is the name of the land ship

as officers. When they are at work
on the land ship the boys dress in mid
dy blouses and caps. There is gun
practice on the land ship every day,
and a naval drill and all the usual
work of ship is done by the boys.
They have the greatest fun in climb
ing the spars and hosting the sails,
and life on the Hits is SO popular that
there are always more applicants for
the crew than there are places TO be
filed.
