They could reserve for themselves the right to dis
charge judges after they have chosen them That is called
The Recall" If they find Judge whose web Of law is
particularly weak when big insect appears they should
have the right to say to that judge 'You get of the
bench and find some other occupation"
When laws are not what they should be, the people
should have for themselves the right start legislation
That is called "The Initiative" To initiate means to
begin to start the people think there should be law
for instance concerning ownership Of streets or railroads
or taxes on houses Of small value, anything else they
should have the right TO START to initiate such Iegis
ation without waiting for the elected lawmakers to do it.
Big people who don't want something done find it
often convenient and easy to get hold of few lawmakers
and stop thing But they get hold of ALL THE
PEOPLE. Therefore, all the people should reserve to
themselves the right to formulate laws vote on them and
pass them they choose without permission Of the select
few whom the big people get hold Of
You ought to have the RECALL. to enable you to
discharge who snt working from President down
to dog catcher, and including all the judges.
You ought to have the INITIATIVE to enable the
mass OF the people to start such laws they think useful
You ought to have what is called "The REFEREN-
DUM that is to say you should compel those that make
laws for you TO REFER those laws to YOU for your
approval .''.'
If you owned factory and had manager you would
say to him, when you think of making rules bring
them to me and let me pass on them. REFER THEM TO
ME-"
You would insist on having such REFERENDUM in
managing your factory.
The people of the United States own this country
which is great factory and great farm combined They
should say to their managers When you think of making
new rules, NEW LAWS, refer them to me-"
That would be- the REFERENDUM That's another
thing you need in order make the spider web of the law
strong enough to hold the large Trust humble bee as well
as the little fly and mosquito
The Washington times., 1919-03-02

The making of laws that WILL hold little people and
will NOT hold the big has been carried out in not
quite the way.
Every little while in the history of the world the
people have what they call revolution They think they
going to turn things over and have everything perfect
They always decide that everything wrong should be
done away with and everything good and wise and Vtuous
brought In.
They get rid of the big men that had the web for
little people and didn't bother the big ones And they
write their new web oflaws
And by and by THEY become the big people. They
find that the law which is very E7eul to catch nusances
picpockets little criminals is apt to be bore it inter
feres with big men and their plans.
Go down to of the camps and steal piece of board
from the millions of feet of lumber stored and you viii
go to jail
Here in Washington you will find organized finance
ready to steal from the people of this country through
their Congress- the remaining supplies Of oil and other
natural wealth.
The web of law that catches the man who steals
board or loaf will not catch the who steals the oil
lands of the nation the of CITY, the Government
millions through profteering
What are you going to do about it?
You are going to do, of course, what men have always
done for the last couple Of hundred thousand years what
they have done little intelgenty for the last ten
thousand years. which is probably the limit Of what
call modern civilization.
Men have improved slowly. They have learned from
mistakes in the past Sometimes they have been violently
reckless and have regretted it.
Sometimes, as in France, they have made their
changes suddenly, violently, and bloodily
Sometimes, in England, they have gone along Tor
centuries becoming democratic gradually without violence
Is there any particular thing that the people OF the
United States could do to construct web OF laws that
would hold big men as well as little ones?
Yes the people could do several things.
