NO AMENDMENT NECESSARY
Initiative Amendment Contains Clause
Which VIII Defeat it's Sup
posed Purpose.

An Argument for Popular Government.
Prepared by Missouri Popular Govern
ment League.
Amendment No. / should be defeat
ed because 1T CONTAINS A VICIOUS
JOKER TO DEFEAT IT'S SUP
POSED PURPOSE.
Certainly none but a rascal or mad
nan will knowingly vote in favor of
any law that contains a clause to de-
feat itself. Such an action is abhor-
rent to every true citizen. Yet that is
precisely what this amendment con.
tains in the three places.
Under the existing law initiative
petitions are required to be filed with
the secretary Of state four months be-
fore the election. Under the proposed
amendment the petitions signed in
each county are required to be filed
with The clerk of the county court
four months before election, and the
clerk must present them to the court
within 30 days thereafter, and the
court shall file the petitions with the
secretary Of state at least three
months before election.
The practical working of this plan,
with a hostile clerk and court, is easy
to see. If for any reason the petit.
tions should not be filed with the
clerk until four months before the
election he could, of course, hold
them until the last day of the 80 days

given him, and then It would be
physically impossible for the court to
check up the signatures and get the
petitions to the secretary Of state
three months before election. But if
the petitions could be filed earlier
with the clerk the finding Of a false
signature might release the court
from all obligation to send the petit
ton to the secretary of state. AS the
enemies of any measure could easily
procure one or more illegal sigma
lures IL each county and advise the
court thereof, or the court might by
failure to sit or otherwise neglect to
take timely action, it is clear enough
that this amendment, if adopted,
would make the initiative a dead let
ter as to all measures not approved
by aver a few county courts and their
clerks.
1t smells to heaven. 1t is a libel
upon the credulity of mankind, a
studied insult to the people Of Mis-
souri, who have dared assert their
sovereignty. 1t is a bad, bold attempt
to seduce the real rulers of the state
into binding their own hands and
locking themselves in their own pris-
ons. Every citizen should vote against

AMENDMENT NO. |. DISHONEST
Contains Two Jokers Aimed to De-
feat its Supposed Purpose-Real
Attack Is on Initiative.

An Argument for Popular Government.
Prepared by Missouri Popular Govern
ment League.
Amendment No. !, to be voted on
Nov. 3, 1914, is an attack upon the
initiative and referendum law now in
force in Missouri.
This attack comes thinly disguised
as an amendment. Whether honestly
or dishonesty intended, its real ef-
feet Is that Of an assault upon de-
mocracy. 1t would make our init
alive and referendum ineffective.
This amendment contains danger
GUS proposals. If adopted it will rob
the people Of Missouri of their most
efficient instrument Of self-govern-
ment, an instrument which in five
short years has driven bribery from
our state legislature and has prac-
Itically ridden it Of lobbyists.
It is called Proposition to Repeal
Section 81, Article 4, Constitution
State Of Missouri, in reference to mi.
tiative and referendum"
Why should it be amended? The
initiative law we now have is perfect
lly satisfactory. It gives the people
power which they have never abused
Why, then, should it be amended?
The answers to this question are:
First-This is not an honest at

An Argument for Popular Government.
Prepared by Missouri Popular Govern
ment League.
The initiative and referendum was
adopted by Missouri in 1908, after 10
years Of struggle.
The initiative" says Woodrow
Wilson, lis a means of seeing to it
that measures which the people want
shall be passed, when legislatures
dery or ignore public opinion. The
referendum is a means OF seeing TO it
that the unrepresentative measures
which they do not want shall not be
placed upon the statute book"
The means used by the people to
get what they want is a petition
which, when signed by a certain per
cent Of the voters, requires that the
question be voted upon and decided
by the people.
Attacks upon the initiative and ref
erendum we're expected, of course.
The forces of privilege, who are ac-
customed to buying the laws they
need, do not give up easily. They
were solidly lined up against this new
weapon Of the people from 1895 to
1898, while the people were fighting
for 1t. When the law was passed, in
1903, they said it meant mob rule
and that the common people would
turn things upside down.
No such thing happened.
The referendum never has been
used mil this year, and every meas
ure on which the initiative has been
applied since 1908 has been defeated.
There has, therefore, been no case
of mob rule" So the enemies of
the initiative and referendum have
been compelled to carry on the fight
to kill it in Missouri without the
|'mob rule" argument.
The way they are now fighting is
this: They have offered an amend
ment'' to our initiative and referen-
dunn law. This s~o-called amend
ment" places obstacles in the way Of
the initiative. 1t contains two easy
methods Of defeating a petition
signed by the people, by preventing
it from being filed. Any judge or
any one county clerk can kill the Pc
tition in the entire statt by killing
it in his county. 1t also limits the
peoples power on four important sub
jects in order to capture the votes Of
the people opposed to those subjects.
1t is a clever scheme because its pur-
pose is hidden, and it pretends 10 be
a friendly amendment. But the peo-
pie of Missouri are not to be fooled
so easily. The farmers want the initi-
alive and referendum. So do the
working class in the cities. Only the
"big interests" are opposed to it, and
as surely as the people learn 10 I'M
derstand amendment No. 1 they will
vote against it.
The proposal that the people may
have the right to govern themselves
in everything except taxation, is like
giving a nan his entire freedom OK
cept for a ball and chain on his leg
The people may decide all the little
questions for themselves Amend
ment No. 1 takes the big question out
of their hands. That is the question
of taxation,
