ton, for adoption, without action by
the Legislature. Under the constitution
~ 1T now stands constitutional amend
ments can be proposed only by the Leg
islature.

by the legislatures, the voters may by
sufficient petition, require the question

proved by a majority of the electors
voting, thereon. provided the vote in
favor of the proposed law is not less
than thirty-three per cent of the total
number of votes cast at such election,
the same becomes a law with the same
force and effect as though passed by
the legislature. The governor will
have no power to veto a law SO passed,
but the people cannot so pass any law
which is prohibited by the con-
stitutiOn.
(c) So too, If adopted. the amend
ment will permit the voters by proper
petition to require a vote on the qucs-
ton of whether Or not any law or part
thereof, of certain classes of laws
passed by the legislature shall be
peaIed. If the petition asking for the
referendum is signed by fifteen per
cent of the voters of the state, the NUM-
Der of whom is to be determined by
the number Of votes cast for Governor
ut the preceding election, the law SO
referred to the voters will not take
effect pending the referendum vote
thereon. The vote required to repeal a
law passed by the legislature and the
classes of laws which cannot he 50
