clothes officer of the Kansas City
police department visited the Alton
elevator in the Missouri Pacific yards
at Kansas City and approached the
Superintendent for information con-
cerning circulation of the petitions to
refer the Agricultural bill.
The officer was directed to a Mr..
Mahoney who had one Of the petit
tions which had been circulated
among laborers at the plant.
The officer asked to see the petit
ton and was refused such permission
by Mr.. Mahoney who asked "why is
the police department investigating
the circulation of the petition" and
'if there is anything criminal about
it" and "why are the police spying?"
Mr.. Bradshaw also told the Gov
ernor that Lieutenant B. Gruenebaum
of the police department was at the
Grain Inspection Office and called fof
Mr.. Fears, an Inspector, introducing
himself as an officer from the depart
ment.
Mr.. Fears was asked II she knew
anything about the circulation of
petitions in the grain department.
He told the officer he did.
Mr.. Fears then asked the officer If
she were asking the question as an
officer, and if he had been assigned by
the department" to which the Lieu
tenant refused to answer
Mr.. Bradshaw said "when reached
the Office and was told of this action
I called the police headquarters and
asked for either Commissioner Foster
or the Chief of Police" He failed to
reach them but finally did getin COM
munication with Lieutenant Greune-
baum.
"What right as an officer have you
to be attempting to intimidate peo-
ple," Mr.. Bradshaw says he asked.
"The officer" said Mr.. Bradshaw,

Mr.. Bradshaw said he stated that
sit is the business of the public to
know what the police are doing and
that the officer told him to ''go to

recommendations regarding the most
successful found in other states. The
Wisconsin system has been agreed
upon by the members OF the commit

two years. We propose to fight any
plan to make effective such million
dollar increases not only for the next
biennial period, but for all those to
follow. We have charged that the
new assessments will cost the people
an average Of fifty per cent more In
state taxes alone, and that they have
been adopted with view to support
ing wa teful Standardization, with
intoleri.k , Capitalization of authority
in the executive. And these charges
have not been refuted, but have been
passed over lightly by fiippant re-
sponses that do not meet the issue.
The judicial gerrymander and the
bills affecticg the Jackson County
courts have been included, because
we contend that they violate the
fundamental principles of representa-
tive government in that they seek by
legislative act to substitute for judicial
officers elected by the people, with
fixed tenures that have not expired,
persons to be appointed by the Gov
ernor. There has been no defense Of
these bills, except in a rather airy
fashion by minor official of the Re-
publican state organization.
The suggestion of this official that
the special session would re-enact
these bills, if the referendum is in
voked, and divide them into dozens
of different bills, 30 as apparently to
mako further referendum impractic-
able, is simply childish and unworthy
of second thought. 1t can only be
entertained upon the assumption that
the Governor and the legislature
would be willing to enter upon the
business of pop-gun legislation, de-
signed to be interposed between the
General Assembly and popular re-
vieyssf their work, subjecting it to q
dec,s5t,p by the people.
If these bills are not wholly inde-
fensible, why should there be such ex-
treme anxiety over devising ways OF
keeping the people from voting di-
rectly upon them?.

The Plain Facts.

The Referendum Committee of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
through w. R. Hollister, who is acting
as director of the movement, in con-
junction with Chairman Yancey and
Secretary Fisher of the State Commit
tee, today authorized the following
statement:
The proposed referendum upon GER
tain enactments of the last legislative
session is not designed for the mere
purpose Of saving the "jobs" of any
Democratic officials, contrary to the
repeated and persisted misstatements
of advocates of these bills, who do not
appear to be willing to enter upon
public discussion of these matters in
detail. Neither does it originate with
officials affected, directly or Indirect
ly, by the legislation, but is the result
of weeks Of consideration, by spe-
cial committee of Democratic Sena-
tors and members of the Legislature,
and next by two general conferences
in which representatives of state and
county organizations, members of the
legislature and active Democratic
leaders took part. The decision to in
woke the referendum on the bills was
reached after mature deliberation COW
ering period of several weeks.
There is nothing hasty, nothing in
confederate about it.
1t is proposed that this refer
endum shall be the first step on the
part of the Democratic party of Mis-
souri, in campaign to restore state
government that is regardful of the
states constitution, as we'll as to re-
establish economical administration,
and to prevent in future ipordinate
increases Of taxation, with inequita-
BILE raises in property assessments, al
together beyond the needs Of the
State.
Detailed discussion of these bills is
invited by the proponents of the ref
ferendum, with close analysis Of their
actual provisions, and careful inquiry
into the taxation and assessment ques-
tion, which are inseparably involved
in the referendum program, rather
than shallow generalizations and
somewhat misleading statements of
fered by some Republican officials,
who favor this program OF ce ntralized
government, with extravsgant ex-
penditures, such as those character
izing the addresses OF the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor at Kansas
City last week.
1t has been charged and not sue
cessfnlly contradicted that the new
assessments have been made primari-
| ly for the object Of securing revenue
wherewith to sustain the new plan Of
state government, With immense i'm
A creases in cost, rather. than equaliza-

stration. It has been shown that the
