The main theme of discussion at the committee meeting was ways and means to influ- ence voters to actually vote upon the initiative measures. It was brought out in the discussion that in past years approximately 40 per cent of the per sons actually voting expressed their preferences with respect to initiative measures. The committee will use every effort to urge voters to take ac- ton on all initiative measures upon the ballot, and especially to vote against the proposed county division bill
