PETITIONS FAILED
FOR REFERENDUM
MEASURES

Helena, July 16.-The pari-mutuel
measure is the only one that will go
on the ballot at the general election
this year, according to Secretary Of
State Charles T. Stewart, that pro-
posed measure being the only one
which secured the number of signers
required under the provisions Of the
statute. The pari-mutuel petition con-
tains 1892 signers, requiring only
1879, the minimum number required
for all proposed measures.
This proposed measure was certi-
fed to Governor Dixon Monday after
noon by the secretary Of state.
PRIMARY REPEAL FAILS
The measure which was proposed
to have changed the primary election
law obtained less than half enough
signers to permit it to be initiated to
the voters, it having received only
6,816 signers.
The income tax measure lacked only
2,345 signers of having a sufficient
number to have been placed on the
ballot, having received 1854 signers.
The inheritance tax measure fell short
1872 signers, having received LOOT.
Other proposed measures for which
signers were sought but which failed
to qualify were the soldiers compen-
sation, 1888; wool fabrics, 908; and
political coercion, 1888.
Monday, July 10, was the final day
for filing petitions with the secretary
of state.
