on petition Of eight per cent OF the

The idea of referendum to the peo-
pie Of this country is very old one,
dating even to the formation Of our
government. Constitutions and amend
ments to constitutions have been re-
| ferred to popular vote innumerable
\ times. Laws have been referred to
the people under express provisions
Of the Constitution, but until Of late
years, the people have not them
selves been allowed to challenge d.
rectly the action Of legislature and
review or confirm it. One man in
\ the person of Governor has had it
within his power by direct or pocket
veto to suspend or defeat the final
enactment of the law, but this i'm
Iperial power has been thought, till
\ lately, incapable OF exercise by any
percentage OF the people who were
! benefited by or might suffer from the
enactment Much as we have talked
Of the beauties of popular govern
ment, devoted, as we have believed
ourselves to be, to Republican forms
and Democratic methods, we have
blindly conferred or powers of legis-
lation upon representatives whose
actions we have not controlled. We
have allowed our legislatures to de-
termine with such light as they might
at the moment possess, questions VI
tally affecting our liberty or hapni-
ness and our property and the we'll
being of those who were to succeed
us. Our scanty hold upon them has
been in our ability to repeal their
errors at succeeding legislature,
and often this has come too late to
be of practical value or the succeed

| For the first time in its history, the
State of Maryland has an oppor-

The election Of this coming fall, al
though the fact is not generally rec
ognized, is more important SO far as
State affairs are concerned, than any
election we have had for a great
many years, and. this, not because OF
the officers to be chosen, but because
for the first time since at least the
adoption Of the last constitution, the
citizens OF Maryland have an oppor-
tunity TO re-invest themselves with
some " the power Of which in their
Constitution they have Invested them
selves. + say this because there will
be three Constitutional amendments
voted upon, the general tendency Of
all of which is to give the people
greater liberty concerning their own
affairs. The amendment which most
interests me and which probably in
the log run will prove to be the most
important Is, in my Judgment, that
which will secure the right OF refer
endum, as 1t Is called, to the citizens
OF the State.
For many years, we have been IA

sition was submitted to the last Gen.

the State Constitution az to give both
these powers to the people. BY the
closest possible division OF opinion ia
the Senate, three-ffths being neces-
sary to pass, and one vote lacking
the initiative was not submitted, but
the referendum was by a practically
unanimous vote il the Senate and a
considerable more than the necessary
three-tifths vote in the House.
1t becomes, therefore, necessary to
begin with that the people should
understand exactly what the referen-
dunn, on which they are to vote, con-
templates. 1t il proposed that NO
