Could People Do Worse ?.

responsible business of lawmaking
Even when some of these legislators,
by reason of experience or special
study, acquire a degree of experiences
and capacity for this work, there is
no assurance that they will be kept
on the job, They are the merest
sport of shifting political winds.
A DlsGRACEFUL RECORD
"One in every six laws enacted by
this Legislature is defective. And yet
the wonder is that there are not more
mistakes considering the makeup of
our legislatures And 450 measures
passed at this one session out of the
1880 introduced. In comparison with
such record as this, the legislation
enacted through the popular initiative
stands forth with wonderful advan-
tage In no instance thus far has a
initiative process been successfully
attacked before the courts. Editors
Note: Since the writing of this article
the initiative law passed by the peo-
pie of Arizona covering employment of
aliens by corporations has been de-
clared unconstitutional. This, so far
as we know, is the only successful
attack in any state upon any initia-
tive law passed by the people) In
point of numbers there is no compari-
son at all This would indicate that
when a large number of voters made
up their minds to demand a certain
measure, and realize that it must
stand or fall as presented on the bal
lot, they see that it is important for
them to secure the very best legisla-
tive ability in the construction of
that measure"
In the face of this record of the
New Jersey legislature, and it is
neither better nor worse than two
thirds of the states in this Union,
there will be politicians bowling from
the stump this fall in every part of
our fair state against the right of
the people to initiate and pass upon
their own laws.

Here's The Record
WILL THE PEOPLE USE
DIRECT LEGISLATION?

Some of the enemies of Direct
Legislation have the triple plated
nerve to assert that the people will
not use that weapon once they have
it in their hands. A brief glance at
the tabulated vote on measures mi
tiated by the people in 1914 and
measures referred to the people by
the legislature and voted on at the
same election, ought to be convinc-
ing proof to the contrary. Glance
over the following table, taken from
the official election returns compiled

An ingenious combination OF aero
