Laws Need Revision

Editor of The Georgian:
experimenting remarks made by
me quoted in your issue Of The
Georgian Of June 10, with refer
ence to the criminal courts. I de-
sire to say that the fault I md
is with antiquated. old time Grim
inal laws. and procedure. not with
the judges.
Many people agree with me. that
the time has come when the Grim
inal laws of Georgia should be
changed so as not to allow cases
to be continued because defend
ants attorney happens TO be in
another court trying q Gaze, and
for many other reasons which APP
pear as trivial. When one of these
motions is made under the law as
il exists, our judges are required to
continue the eases. Should he try
them on motion foi new trial. one
would have TO he granted by the
higher court.

Would it not be wise amend

tried on their merit. and wipe

Our Women Workers
By ELBERT HUBBARD.

a GREAT life insurance compa-
~ ny whose actuaries have
more than national repu-
tation for soundness of reasoning,
has recently given its agents some
instructions on insuring the lives
of women, ] quote:
Whereas, this company has not
heretofore thought best to insure
the lives of women it is now ac-
ceptable for you to secure applica-
lions for policies from women as
follows:
Il Accept applications only
from women in business OF from
wage earning women who have
people dependent on them.
90. DO not accept women with an
income that IS not derived from
their own property
From this ! assume that these
hard headed actuaries. who clint
nate galiantry. poetry and senti-
ment from their calculations, re-
gard married women and women
who have things provided for them
as uncertain propositions to insure
wage earning women are rea-
sonsbly happy. Steady. systemst-
&c work means health. The COM
petent man or woman is a good
moral and financial risk.
\ married woman may be com
petent or she may not. She may
be happy or she may not. II is
quite unnecessary to question her
she will not tell the truth about
herself. and 1t is exactly the same
with a woman who lives on the
bounty provided by either live
man or a dead one.
Four fifths of all the surgical
cases in public hospitals are per-
formed on women But of the

The Education of the
Voter
No. Cumulative; Referendum
An Easy Explanation of Some of the New
Political Terms.
By THOMAS TAPER.

The people viii decide by the refer
endum.
Where shall the referendum be
taken? The people will decide by
the initiative
The REFERENDUM results
when laws are prepared by the
legislature and are submitted 10
the people. The INITIATIVE re-
suits when laws are prepared by
the people and submitted to the
legislature.
The initiative in respect to local
conditions is frequently adopted.
When in South Dakota, as many
as five per cent Of those who
voted for governor in the previous
election sign petition they estab-
lisf right to be heard on any
question of state laws.
The required number of sigma
lures to the petition is not uni
form in the states and municipar-
ties in which the initiative is OBJ
erative. In the city of San Fran
cisco fifteen per cent of the votes
cast a the last election are re-
CURED; in the state of California,
80 per cent; in Iowa, 10 per cent,
and in Nebraska, fifteen per cent.
To submit laws to the vote Of
the people is a live and important
question. 1t is not new princi-
pie in American politics in local APP
plication. The education of the
voter should convince him wheth-
er the initiative is a principle that
is capable of expansion from a
narrow to broad application. Are
the people, as a rule, fitted to give
judgment on legislative measures?
To answer the question, ask YOUR
self:
Am ! so careful a student of DO
litical questions that my opinion Is
intelligently formed ON any pro-
posed measure of legislation?
Do actually know anything 4,
about it?
Do | keep in mind when l vote
THE ONE GREAT MATTER
THAT AFFECTS ME- DIRECTLY
the prosperity OF the country?
Do | vote with a sane point Of
view as to property protection. to
the purpose of taxation, and so on?
Between the man who thinks
upon the right of the franchise In
this way and the man who crimi-
nally disposes of his vote for a
price stretches the whole range of
voting intelligence.
All the conditions that may sur
round us as a people depend on
whether the voter is intelligent
and responsible. Let him be a re-
former in the truest sense Of the
word.
Let him also remember that
many writer's and papers are in
clined to regard the reformer as
working heaven and earth in his
own interest
This is the right and proper
thing to do if, at the same time,
his interest is the greatest good to
the greatest number

insurance actuarles much prefer 10
insure men who are abroad in the
world doing things than to accept
risks on women who abide in the
safety of the home and are pro-
tected and shielded on every side.
From this there is only one conclu-
sion, and chat is. that TO be mar
ried and keep house. and 20 have
an income and do nothing. are
hazardous undertakings
1t Is not the dangers of childbirth
that make women bad risk-it is
he paucity of their lives. If 1t were
the dangers of motherhood, the in
surance companies would not re-
fuse women over so, but married
women, and those unmarried who
are provided for, are placed in the
same category
The real fact is. few women,
comparatively, are admitted into
the work of the world. Woman is
the slave of her housekeeping
slave or a man. When she gets
married she throws up her lob. And
in New York, If she is school
teacher, her marriage is equal to
resignation. Hence the misery that
leads to the ether-cone, the liga-
ture and the scalpel.
And that Is the reason why life
insurance companies, as rule. will
not insure the lives of married
women. The average married wom-
an has no high purpose in life-no
output for her ambition, no rock
upon which she can strike her In
tellect and cause the yelling waters
Of life to flow.
She has tasted Of life and found
it alkaline-all there is for her now

party. So the insurance actuary.

TT is important for the citizens
of a republic TO know some
thing about its government.
If you help TO elect those who
make laws you are in part respon-
sible Tor thc result.
Our form of government. that of
a republic, recognizes the people
themselves as the source of power.
Reading the daily paper of late
You have come upon number of
new words which spring out of the
political situation of the day. These
words are Initiative, Referendum,
Preferential Primary. The Recall,
and the like. What do they all
mean?
Keep in mind the fact that the
Federal Constitution does not es
sentially take precedence over
State Constitution. In fact, one
supplements the other Also. keep
it in mind that a Constitution is
always the result of progressive
history. This fact progressive
history. made it necessary to add
fifteen amendments to the Consti
tuition of the United States. There
is one further thing 20 remember:
History is progressing now, in 1912
and it will keep on progressing, or
misfortune will swallow us up.
II.
The words Initiative and Refer
endum do not occur in the Federal
Constitution, But in Article ! OF
the Amendments it is stated that
Congress shall make no law pro-
hibiting the right Of the people to
petition the Government for re-
dress of grievances. 1t is import
ant to remember this petitioning
right of the people.
In politics, the words Initiative
and Referendum are frequently
used together The Referendum
is nothing new. and we shall see.
The word Initiative in this con
nection refers to the right of he
people. of you as an individual
voter. to initiate, or start, or or
iginate legislation. Any petition
on the part of the people-you are
one of them--for the passing of
desirable law is the Initiative.
The incorporation of this principle
into practice has been brought
about in South Dakota, Iowa, Ne
braska and California.
Local application of the initia-
tive has long been known. When
the people of town frame 3 pc
tition to open up q. new street and
present il with sufficient sigma
lures to the town fathers they
have awaited of this privilege. Often
q governing body refers a ques-
ton to the people. This is the
Referendum The whole gist Of
the matter has been successfully put
by DR. Oberholzer in his treatise on
the Referendum
Shall the law, he says, which has
been passed by the state legisIa-
ture apply to particular locality?
