=y -~ HOUSE PASSES TWO- FIFTHS JURY BILL (Coritinued from first page.) tition. If the legislature fail§ to pass the act aspresented, an additional three per cent of the voters may by|" petition have this act as presented, or as amended by the legislature, pre- sented at the next special or general election. If the legislature should pass the act in an amended form, it shall be subject to the referendum. Should the legislature pass the bill as amend- ed, and the people also pass a version of the law, the law passed by the people shall become the law of the state to the exclusion of the legisla- tive act. Acts adopted by referendum, or ap- proved by referendum, shall not be subject to veto by the governor nor to appeal or amendment except by two thirds vote of all the members of each branch of the legislature. It will require ten per cent of the voters to present a constitutional amendment. It does not go to the legislature, but directly before the people. Sixty per cent of the electors voting: thereon are required to adopt it. In the case of laws, only a ma- Jjority is required. All measures except laws providing for tax levies and appropriations for current expenses are subejet to refer- endum on petition of six per cent of the voters. Emergency measures, de- clared 8o in a preamble approved by three-fourths of the members of each house, may go into effect at once, but they would be repealed by referen- dum and an adverse vote by the peo- ple. Other legislative measures are not permitted to go into effect until ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature. Where a referendum is called for and the measure approved, it goes into effect thirty days after approval. Percentages are based on the vote for governor. Women Voice Protest. Members of the legislature are be- ing bombarded by letters from women protesting against woman suffrage, and arguing the case. In some cases identical letters are signed by dif- ferent women and mailed separately. In other cases women join in signing the same letter. The burden of the argument is that the women do not want the bal- lot and that it would be placing dut- ies and burdens upon them. The house yesterday, by unanim- ous vote, acceded to the request of the senate that the Moonan resolu- tion, asking for a joint committee to work out a plan of reorganization of state departments, be recalled from committee and returned. h DR.
