lature proposed for adoption by the
electors, an amendment of Section Two

The style of all legislative meas.

under this section shall be: BE
it enacted by the, People Of the,
State of Minnesota"
The provisions of this section
may be enforced by appropriate
legislation, but until such legiSla-
ton has been enacted, this section
shall be self executing.
THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT Of
this amendment, If adopted, will be
three-fOld.
(O 1t will permit the voters to pros
pose amendments to the state cOnstitu-
ton, fer adoption, without action by
the legislature. Under the constitution
as it now stands constitutional amend-
ments can be proposed only by the leg
isiature.
OBJ So, too, If adopted, the amend-
mcnt will permit electors to propose
laws for enactment and if not enacted
by the legislatures, the voters may by
sufficient petition, require the question
of the enactment of the proposed law
60 be submitted to the voters. If Rp-
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, IL adopted, the amend
ment will permit the voters by proper
petition to require "a vote on the qucs-
tiOn of whether or not any law or part
thereof, of certain classes of laws
passed by the legislature shall be re.
peaied. If the petition asking for the
referendum is signed by fifteen pei
cent of the voters of the state, the mum.
Der of whom is to be determined by
the number of votes east for Governor
MT the preceding election, the law 50
referred to the voters will not take
effect pending the referendum vote
thereon. The vote required to repeal q
law passed by the legislature and the
classes of laws which cannot be 80
repealed are specified in SubdivisiO1
&c" of the proposed amendment a,

ington, after a conference with Pres
ident Wilson in regard to the activ-
tiles of the German U-boat 3d. 1t is
believed that the administration takes
the view that Germany has done
nothing in positive violation of the
agreement that was reached between
the two countries in regard to sub
marine activity. Yet it is understood
to be a question whether the United
States can afford to tolerate such
activities so near her shores, making
virtual blockade of the American
ports.
Feeling of Business Interests.
There appears to be strong un-
dercurrent of feeling on the part OF
business interests of the United
States that the government ought to
take some action to put a stop to
this practise. Mr.. Lansing on leaving
here would not comment on the mat
ter and would make no statement. The
president early this morning went
out to play golf No statement was
forthcoming from the summer white
house. 1t is understood that what
interests the president most is wheth-
/ er Germany intends to make these at
tacks near the American coast

Newport, R. l., October 1.-THE
search of the eleven American sub
marines for the Kingston or it's sur
vivors, failed to reveal any trace of
the ili-fated vessel or of any of those
who were aboard and If iS now he-
lieved that all who were on the ship
, were victims of the German subma-
rine. Admiral Greaves stated today
that he had practically given up hope
of the search having any of the de-
sired results.

Division of labor is clearly seen in

By Chapter 3s4, Laws 1915, the legis-
lature proposed an amendment of Sec
tion Thirteen G3) of Article One Cd
of the Constitution.

as follows:
