INITIATIVE BILLS MOST PER
 FECT.

Initiative bills are usually more perfect than legislative bills. 1t is claimed for the reason that those initiating bill know that it is not subject to amendment, therefore they consult experts in legislation and the use of the English language that there may be no defects that will invalidate.
 In drawing up Amendment No 13 experts in Initiative and Referendum legislation were secured, men who have assisted in formulating this class of legislation in every state in the Union that has these laws.
