IN THE LEGISLATURE

In the face of the promise that the
people should have a right to pass judg-
ment on ali the laws enacted by the
members of their party, the democrats
of the house and senate are putting,
what is known as the saving clause,
in every important bill they are enact
ing. The effect of this clause is to null
lily the referendum section of our con-
stitution. The claim is made that with
this clause in law, the people cannot
refer it. 1t has been held by courts in
Oregon. Missouri and Idaho that the
legislature has the power to say if
bill is necessary for the immediate
preservation of health, peace or safety
of the people of the state. It has also
been held that if the legislature does
say the bill is necessary for one of these
three objects. neither the courts nor
the pe'ple have the right to say that
it is not Immediately necessary. In
this Legislature the Democrats are put

their existence Many viii hasten to
