GOVERNOR BREWER MAD.

Our over Jealous and most
strenuous Governor, but only so
in matters that he should leave

reason that some Of the wives oil

legislators), cwn stock in the

INITIATIVE AND REFEREN.
DUN.

The terms initiative" and
referendum" are much mis-
understood, aud but few even Of
their advocates understand their
far-reaching power They are
not meaningless terms; they
represent definite principles of
government which any child can
readily understand when properly
explained.
The Initiative gives the
people the right to make their
own laws. Ii does not change
our present form Of representative
government in the least. II the
proposed constitutional amend :
ment is adopted, the members OF
the Legislature will continue to
be elected, and the Legislature
will continue to meet in Jackson
every two years.
What, then. ia the value OF tbs
initiative to the people? Simply
this--if the Legislature fails
through either neglect or refusa
to pass any that tbs
people want, the people them
selves can petition for an election
on that measure. and if a majority
vote for it then such measure

becomes a Law at once. The
Governor cannot veto it, nor can
the Legislature repeal it.
The "referendum'' eivea the
people the RICH, to repeal any
law or part Of a law which the
Legislature may have passed.
Should the Legislature pass any
law that the people do not want,
they can petition for an election
on such law. and If the majority
vote against il. the law is at once
repealed. The Governor has no
power to veto it nor can the Legs
lature re-adopt it.
This is very simple. Anyone
can easily understand the use OF
these measures, and the only
difficulty heretofore has been
that their opponents have pur-
poseIy muddied the waters Sc
that they could not be clearly
understood.
Why are these measures 50
very important to the people
First, they place the final deci-
sion in the making OF laws where
it properly belongs, in the hands
OF the people themselves. Second
they make the Legislators mors
careful in the passage or repeal
ing Of laws. in the handling o
the peoples money. and in the
granting Of franchises anC
special privileges. Third. theirs
will be less lobbying and less use
of money and booze in influencing
legislation, because the lobbyist,
and those behind them know very
well that their work on the Legi,
lature may De overturned by tbs
people.
The lobbyists and special
privilege interests know full vel
the power OF the initiative and
referendum. and hence their
frantic et1rts to defea, them.

issue will work a great hardship.
Ii all the land were of the same

be issued to cover ten per cent of

One of the chief drawbacks, in
