A HELPFUL AMENDMENT.

The first Ill the list on prOpOSlulOilS
to be submitted to the people
at the election is a referred measure,
a constitutional amendment adopted
by the legislature. 1t proposes that
no initiated or referred measure may
a majority of the votes cast at the
election where it is submitted The
legislature was moved to adopt this
measure by the mass of ill-digested
legislation which lay on the stomach
of the state after the election OF two
years ago. am agglomeration OF ignor-
ance and viciousness. Much of that
has since happily been declared un-
constitutional Much of 1t was so un
skillfully framed that the meaning
lessness alone was sufficient to in
validate it,
Various means have been proposed
in different states to prevent the
abuse Of the initiative and referen-
dunn which have tended to bring pop
olar government into disfavor. In
some states it has been proposed to
do away with the industry of petit
tdon circulating; to notify the public
that petitions for the initiation or
the reference of certain measures
may be found at certain convenient
places where those interested may
sign them. 1t is recognized that
the present system of circulation is
joke, but a grim one. The ay-
erage man unfortunately Will sign
any document which does not finan
cialiy obligate him, whether he feels
any interest in 1t or not, or whether
he knows anything about it's contents
or not
Under our petition circulating sys-
tenn it is possible to bring any propo-
sition, however hare Drained, before
the people and in the absence OF any
knowledge of it or any interest in it
by the great majority of the voters,
It is possible for handful of inter
ested persons to impose upon the peo.
pie as Law.
This amendment is designed to
compel majority of those who go
to the polls declare that they favor
the proposed law. If there is any
real demand for it, if there is any
widespread need felt for such a law,
it will be adopted by the people. But
the main thing is that if this amend
ment is adopted small, interested
and organized minority will not be
able to put anything over on an
apathetic, ignorant and careless ma
jority
We have referred to the fact that
so much proposed legislation, even if
mertordous, is SO unskillfully drawn
as to be worthless. That suggests
another amendment which We trust
the next legislature will propose, pro-
vdddng: for legislative reference bu-
reau, like that of the state of Wis
consin. Ali proposed legislation goes
TO the bureua, not to be altered in
any way as to it's purposes, but to be
licked into shape" made intelligi-
BILE, 80 that if enacted it will be of
some effect-AriZona Republican.
