SAYS PEOPLE ARE

Judge Mckinney Talks to
Women on the Initiative
and Referendum.
Is NOT YET EFFECTIVE
Legislature Is Blamed for Not
Taking Action Upon
the Matter.
Is NOT YET EFFECTIVE

That the people Of tho sovereign state
OF Utah'' have been deprived OF thciI
rights under the state constitution ?ol
the past twelve years, and unlaWtul!3
held from the exercise OF their powers
was the startling statement made yes
terday by Judge J. W. Mckinney be-
fore a meeting OF the Civic club OF the
city, at which he spoke on q. few OF the
proposed changes To be made In the laws
OF the state. Judge Mckinney said ir
part:
In 1899 the Ctah legislature passed
resolution proposing the Submis-
sion TO the people Of an amendment
providing for the initiative and refer
endum IN 1900 the amendment was
adopted and has been ever since d
part OF our state constitution.
Prior TO the adoption OF this amend
ment tho legislative power OF the
state had been vested solely IN the
legislature; but by the amendment
legislative power was also vested In
the people OF the state, as set forth
in the amendment.
Since the adoption of this amend
ment six legislatures have met and
adjourned without having passed a
law whereby this amendment would
be made effective. In other words,
the legislature has withheld from
the people or Utah for a period OF
twelve years the great constitutional
right 10 initiate legislation and tho
right TO have proposed legislation re-
fcrrcd TO them for their approval.

WOOLLEY LOSES SUIT
FOR DAVIS ESTATE

BY judgment Of Judge George 6. Arm
strong In the district court YESTERDAY,
Edwin r. Woolley administrator OF the
estate OF Moses Davis, loses his suit
against Joseph e. Taylor 20 recover $50
900 worth Of property which he accused
Taylor of obtaining frauduenily from the
Davis estate
The court held that no undue influence
had been proven and that Taylor was en-
titled to the property with the exception
OF certain household goods valued al S15.
The suit was flied in 1909, Wollcy alleg-
ing that Taylor, through ma rraGe to Ra-
chael Davis, daughter Of Moses Davis.
whom he took as his plural wife. gained
control over the woBan'S mind and sue
cecded in having her transfer her share
Of her fathers estate 10 him. IT was
charged that he employed religious pre-
iudiccs and sentiments to accomplish his
purpose. IL was further charged that
Taylor, as spiritual adviser of Moses
Davis before his death. exercised undue
control over his business affairs and eff
fected fraudulent transfers Of property
Tghtfully belonging 10 the Davis estate

Other Suggestions.

Other needed changes which were re-
ferrc3 TO were in regard TO the lack oi
equal representation through failure tc
make proper enumeration and the lacl
Of laws for the regulation OF public SER
wants In regard 10 which he said:
The best plan would no doubt be
the creating OF a public service COM
mission. as such a commission would
exercise supervision not only over
the railroad rates but over telc-
phone, light. heat. and other public
service corporations. The time has
como when something certainly should

from the cXorbitsnt prices charged
for coal. No doubt these high
charges are due. IN great measure,

ton excellent VIC are paying more
for opr coal than we did thirty years
ago, when few coal mines had been

commission would also be very use
ful in renlcdying the telephone evil.
The telephone system in this city
has become more OF an Irritation
