Dear Mr.. White
enclose a copy Of the pro

good Democrat, to fight it, through
Inc columns Of the Ledger. 1t seems
tc me the initiative and referendum
would avail nothing II the people can
not use them in the vital question of
taxation. 1t also seems TO me that
the clause making 1t unlawful to re.
ceive compensation for circulating I'M
tiatiye and referendum petitions is
a direct attack on the working class
AS a rule, a rich man WILL not give
his time 10 the circulation Of peti.
lions to secure legislation beneficial

man CANNOT give his time. The
whole thing seems to me thoroughly
undemocratic, and l. sincerely hope
