favor the submission to the people of
constitutional amendments for approx.
al or rejection on the question of state
owned flour mills in connection with
our terminal elevator, and such other
the people may from time to time
deem necessary for the development
of the natural resources of the state
and the welfare of its people,.
II read that section and | discussed
it with number and | believe now,
that this legislature, if it did consist
of a majority of the men who called
themselves Nonpartisans would sub
nit constitutional amendments to the
people of this state covering just what
they said they would d. That meant
amendments would be presented to
this legislature and if passed by
majority of the members of the house
next legislature, and if approved by
that legislature, submitted to the vote
of the people. That is the method
prescribed by the constitution. There
seems to have been a change and
some other method has been suggest
ed. First the papers announced to the
lectOrate a constitutional convention
would be called and that men from
the house and men from the senate
and certain number Of men selected
by the governor would constitute that
con stitutional convention, and =, that
the convention would submit to the
people a new constitution. That plan
has been abandoned and House bill A
now before us contains. as take it.,
the attitude of the majority of the men
of this house and the method by
which they would submit these amend
ments to the people.
The Riehtful Authority.
Lincoln said, in his first inaugural
address: While ! make no recommen-
dations of amendments referring 10
the constitution, I fully recognize the
rightful authority Of the people over
the whole subject, to be exercised in
either Of the methods prescribed in
the instruemnt itself, and I should,
under existing circumstances, favor
rather than oppose a fair opportunity
being afforded the people to act upon
it. will add that to me the conven-
ton mode seems more preferable in
that 1t allows amendments to origin
ate with the people themselves in
stead of permitting them to reject
propositions originated by others not
specially chosen for that purpose and
which might not be precisely such as
they would wish to either accept or
refuse
IF l were to say nothing else-if I
were to stop at this point, I feel that
the case of the minority has been bet
ter expressed in the language of the
great Lincoln whose words we call
out of the past today, than anything
that l might say in my feeble way.
III we turn aside from all the les
sons of history and put Our backs to
all the experiences Of mankind, repre-
scented by new organic laws and new
statute, laws, and turn our fact to a
new field like ship without single
beacon light to guide US, I say that
danger Is ahead and We should know
what we are doing"
