Every Il of the constitutions
amendments voted upon at the last
election were given good majoritles
by the voters Of Burleigh county.
The result OF the balloting upon these
amendments was the last part OF the
returns to be secured. the announce
ment being made yesterday.
The initiative and referendum car
ried by a vote OF 1869 to 1863, the in
"itiative on constitutional amendments
carried, 1860 to 375. The amendment
having to do with the changing OF
the name Of the state blind asylum
was carried. 500 to 39S. The amend
ment giving the legislature power to
grant state aid for the building OF
highways was successful, with a vote
of 1893 to $50, cad the terminal ele-
vator amendment carried, 1903 to 325.
The amendment providing for the
classification of property for the pur-
pose of taxation carried, 1913 to 3l3.
The final vote on oma suffrage in
Burleigh county stood $50 for and
1901 against. The total vote on the
herd law stood 1859 to $50 in favor
of it.
Womaa's suffrage probably is the
only question submitted to the voters
this fall that failed to carry. Reports
from a number Of the counties indi-
cate that the amendments voted upon
all secured sufficient votes.
The vote on initiative and referen-
dunn seems to be highest. Under this
law 10 per cent Of the voters can
initiative a measure as far as submit
ting it to the consideration of the leg
islature. If no action is taken on the
measure the secretary Of state shall
submit it to the vote of the people at
the next general election.
Under the law, the legislature is
given the power to substitute their
own measure for the one initiated.
Both these measures then to go to
the people and the one receiving the
highest affirmative vote is valid.
The referendum petitions must be
filed with the secretary Of state not
more than 80 days after the adjourn
ment of the legislature. Like the
initiative. the referendum can only be
invoked By a petition signed by 10
per cent of the voters from a major
ity of the counties.
There is also an initiative and ref
erendum for amending the constitu-
ton, but instead ofs10 per cent of the
voters in a majority of counties being
necessary. % per- cent is necessary
and the legislature must ratify the
choice of the people. Failing to re-
ceive this legislative approval, the
amendments so initiated go back to
the people again and, if securing a
majority Of the votes, they become a
part of the constitution.
Other amendments passed provide:
Changing name of the blind asylum
to School for the Blind" authoriz-
ing passage of laws for classifying
property for the purpose of taxation;
state aid to the building of public
highways and terminal grain elevat-
ors within the state.
With but a few scattering precincts
to be heard from Hanna's vote is A.
800. as against 33.492. Gro1na has
43.S44. as against 26,747 for Purcell.
