REFERENDUM NECESSARY TO
DEFEAT VICIOUS LAWS

The mater of submitting some of
the bills passed by the last legisla-
ture to a referendum of the voters of
the state has been widely discussed
by members of both political parties
and widely divergent opinions appear
to be held on the wisdom of such a
course. Many specious arguments are
used both for and against such a
course, the most common being with
those who are opposed to the referen-
dunn that it is in the interest of keep
ing few Democrats in office, and the
opposite, that many Democratic office
holders and their friends areA opposed
to the referendum because they hope
to retain office, or will be reappointed.
All Democrats and many Republic
cans believe that some of the laws
passed by the last legislature are VIC
ious and revolutionary in their effect
and should not be permitted to stand.
Especially is that true Of the Act leg
islating all the Circuit Judges of the
State out of office and permitting q
partisan Governor to appoint their
successors. Only once in Missouri has
such revolutionary tactics been re-
sorted to and that was following the
Civil War, when the infamous Drake
Constitution was foisted upon the peo-
pie by the Republican party. The pas
sions and prejudices following the war
was made the excuse for such action.
But such conditions do not hold now.
The bill creating budget commission
err, with the unlimited, unusual and
dangerous powers conferred upon him,
is foreign to our form of government
and should not be permitted to stand
A number of other measures could be
enumerated of the same status.
Some claim that the Republican
party is responsible for these bills
and they should be tested out and let
the voters of the state repudiate them
at the next general election, if they
prove unsatisfactory. To our mind,
that is the strongest and most logical
argument used by those opposed to
the submission by referendum md
that was the attitude of the Democrat
&c county committee of Bates in max
ing its decision not to participate in
the circulation of the referendum Pc
titions and we believe that its action
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-06-03

would be folly. But with intensive
use of existing river facilities we
should be looking ahead to the time
when greater depths may be placed at
our service.
The Mississippi's sources Of power
have had accurate appraisal by engi-
neers from the time when Gen. Robert
E. Lee, more than eighty years ago,
submitted a report on the subject and
with power developed depths at high
water, and depths at low water would
be averaged all the year round. Nom
engineering enthusiasts have not been
lacking who tried to bring others I'M
der the influence of their own splendid
vision. Except at Keokuk, however,
nothing has been done for realizing the
old dream.
Mr.. Ford having discovered the
Mississippi, we may at least believe
that hope is renewed. The Mr.. Fords
and the Col. Coopers make together
mighty combination.-Globe Demo-
crat.

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE?

The Record has been informed that
some of our ablest lawyers in the STATE
are of the opinion that if the referen-
dunn petitions are properly gotten up
with the required number of sigma
lures, and when same has been filed,
that the jurisdiction of the matter for
which the referendum was envoked
has been transferred from the hands
of the Legislature to the people of the
State. In other words it is similar
to a change of venue as practised in
our legal courts. 1t would seem to be
logical reasoning and a protection to
the people to give them the right to
say by their votes whether they APP
prove of the laws in question enacted
by partisan legislature.
In this Judicial Circuit, composed
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-06-03

would have been one of wisdom, but
for the fact that under the recent ger
rymander of the Senatorial districts
by the Republican state officers, the
Senate is secured to that party by an
overwhelming majority for long
term of years and it would be impos-
sible to repeal these laws no matter
how vicious or unpopular they may
prove.
To those who are opposed to those
laws remaining on our statute books,
the only relief is the referendum,
which was adopted into our constitu-
ton by vote of the people for just
such contingencies and we believe it
oto be sacred duty that the Democrat
ic party owes to the people Of the
state to lend its organization to the
end that they may have the opportuni-
ty of preventing these vicious, partisan
measures becoming laws. the repeal of
(which a gerrymandered Republican
Senate will block for years to come.
The Democratic State Committee,
which is the legally constituted party
authority, met and discussed these
matters fully, and decided by practic-
ally unanimous vote to have the most
vicious of these measures submitted
by referendum and the county commit
tees were asked to act with them in
securing the legal petitions for that
purpose.
We believe that the county commit
tee which refused to cooperate with
the State Democratic Committee in aid
ing the people to invoke the referen-
dunn against these obnoxious laws,
should reconvene and reconsider Their
action in order that the voters of the
state will have the opportunity to ex-
press their views on these laws by the
ballot.-Bates County Times.

TAXATION WITHOUT
PUBLIC NECESSITY

A news story given out in Jefferson
City this week informs the tax payers
of the state that receipts from income
taxes this year will amount to at least
81, 100000 more than last year. 1t
must be borne in mind that the Demo-
Gratis in the Fifty-irst General AS
sembly endeavored continuously 20 in
duce Republican leaders to consent to
! the reduction of the income tax rate;
or perhaps its repeal altogether. Gov.
Hyde vetoed bill, sponsored by SEN
ator Bowker of Nevada, Democrats
Senator, reducing the rates, otherwise
the great sum indicated would not be
collected from the people.
If the state had been in serious
/ financial straits-if the demands for
/ legitimate state purposes had been
: greater than the anticipated revenues,
there might be some excuse for the
levy, or, SO far as that goes, for in
creased assessments, in order to OBJ
, tain more revenue. But there is no
such need. The Gardner administra-
ton left surplus of $4,900,Oo0, which
should have enabled the Hyde admir-
istration, if it had carried out its orig
inal pledges, to reduce taxation, and
even further. to reduce appropriations
Instead of this, the appropriations APP
proach $3O,OOO,OO0 or nearly as much
as it cost the last administration for
four years, amounting to double ap-
preparations, while taxation mounts
skyward, and assessments have at
tanned unprecedented proportions.
There is never any excuse for in
creased taxation, unless the actual
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-06-03

and imperative needs Of the govern
ment demand it, and even then, the
first effort of those in charge Of TIE
states affairs should be to ascertain
whether it is possible to cut State eS-
penses. When both income and ordi-
nary tax revenue receipts are incr cas-
ed needlessly, and appropriations dou-
bled, crime is committed against the
state. The Hyde administration can
not escape responsibility for this sit
uation. They must either admit them-
selves incompetent to run the state,
incapable of discerning the state of the
revenues, or else subject themselves
to the general condemnation they are
now receiving.
Governor Hyde had his opportunity.
Ne had it in the regular Legislative
session when he could have reduced
taxes. He had it when he was con-
fronted with the problem of the equal
ization of assessments. He could have
favored equalization by lower assess
ments with the same tax rate, and
the state would not have suffered. 1t
is too late for him to back up, and say
that he will advocate reduction Of the
income tax in the special session. Why
did he veto the bill passed by the reg
ular session? There is reason, Of
course, and that reason is that the
referendum campaign of the Demo
cratic state organization has alarmed
the Governor. He has discovered that
he cannot accomplish his original
plans without getting into serious
trouble, hence he seeks to play the
craw-fish. 1t won't work.-Missouri
State journal.
