LITIGATION MAY
UNDO PETITIONS
Authorities on Question Say Peti
tons Will Not Stand the
Test.

Considerable interest has been Gre
the petitions recently filed with the
secretary OF state, in an attempt to
suspend several bills passed at the re-
cent session of the Legislature.
Only three of the sixteen petitions
sent in had a sufficient number OF
nmes attached to them to hold up the
bills and make them temporarily in
operative. The bills in question are
the Terminal Elevator bill, The Boot
leSgers bill and the immigration bill.
1t is likely that actions will be
| started in the very near future to have
the petitions set aside. The conten-
ton of the interested parties that
none of the petitions will stand the
test Of litigation. There has been con
siderable question as to the trainers
of the petitions, and also in regard to
a number of the signatures attached
to them.
Several attorneys have been inter-
viewed on the question and the uran-
imOus opinion is that enough names
could be scratched off any of the
petitions for some irregularity to
make them invalid. The petition in
regard to the Elevator bill "a not
properly drawn up, and could most
likely be thrown out for that reason.
The only petition which seems at all
likely to stand up in the opinions of
attorneys is the bootlcggers bill, which
seems to be properly drawn up, and
to contain more apparently legitimate
signatures than any Of the other Pc
titions.
No definite action has been taken
as yet in regard to the matter, but it
is almost assured that an action will
be started in a short time.
