I know of no provision in our state constitution that would authorize the governor to call) a referendum election on any law or} set of laws that he might see fit with- out there being a petition filed as! for such an election.

For instance, the people might, not under- standing the proposition, vote for both the legislature5s and the I. V. A. mill and elevator pill.” If he is correctly quoted in this, he comes very near be- ing a deliberate falsitier when he says. that the people might vote for both the legiglature’s mill and elevator bill and the Y. V. A. mill and elevator Dill, unless he intends to armbitrarily: mix into the proposed election, the mill and elevator law that was enacted by the last legislature. x No Confusion Probable. Af the initiative and referendum election which proposed by the In- dependent Voters association, the vot ers of North Dakota would vote tor or against the initiated mill and eleval- or pill. If a majority of voters vote; for the bill, it becomes a Jaw and; ‘takes the place of the mill and elevat-| that was enacted by the lpat) They could not vote for doth because both would not be on the ballot. “The voters would only have to decide whether they prefer- red the initiated bill to the one that was enacted by the Igislature. If so. they would vote for the initiated bill, if not, they would vote. against i. That is simple enough, is it not, and afir anything can be? ‘The initiative pétitions in this case provide the only means by which the ‘peoplé will have a chance to vote on the subjects involved/in each initiatel t is a referendum by pro- ation and, if the govinor ignores the initiatice petitions signed by more than 30,000 vote®, he might por law degislature, P.

There can be only one mill and ele- vator bill, one home builders bill and one rural credit bill. They can vote for or against each one. They cannot ote for two bills on the same subject when there is only one bill to vote on. * Afraid of the People. It is very evident that the governor is afraid of letting the people vote “on the various laws in this way; fearing that they might vote for what they want and get it without turning the state into a socialistic experiment or building up a political machine which when once established, would be prac tically impossible to change without revolution and bloodshed. The governor's announcement is consistent with his veto of tae term- inal elevator bill two years ago. In- deed, it is consistent with thg whole proceedure of the gang that is trying to fastefi its tentacles on the people of this state for the next generation or more. ‘They are not satisfied to try out new notions a,stép at the time as did the. pioneers of this state when gradually .transforming thg barren prairies into splendid homes which they now have, ‘They tried out a few things at the time on a small scale and then went in a littl deeper and deeper on what proved to be good and discarded what proved to be bad. ! ‘The governor is trying to create a condition by which the people shall be compelled to make him monarch of all North Dakota by approving the inks trial commission bill or not have a fair chance to try out a terminal elevator law, home-building low or rural cred- it law. Possibly he is afraid of the; non-partisan election law which is al- so initiated. 30,009 Have Signed. More than 30,000 people. have signed the initiative petition. The govern that all of. these people are political tricksters just because they petitioned) for the initiation of the laws in ques- tion, North Dakota can have a fair and square trial of state owpership and operation of mill and elevators, linger this aet. home-building law or a rural ‘credit law with $10,000,000 bond issue to finance it, without approving of the industrial commission bill or the state bank bill. The state bank was not a part of the original league program. That is something that has been pick- ed up like a lot of other stuff for the pprpose of creating more political pap for the hungry ones that are now in the state and others that may be im- ported with the $200,000.00 immigra-| tion appropriation. All that the original league pro- gram has said about state banks was this, “rural credit banks operated at cost.” What the majority of the peo- ple had in mind when this expression was used was\soMething similar to the Faffasen rural credit system now in operation in parts of Europe. The charge that the mill and ele votor law and other laws are not workable has. no foundation, The Townley henchmen have as yet failed to.to point out a single instance where in any of the initiated laws are un- workable. a Frazier Ignorant of Facts. — , The governor is also quoted as say- ing, “These bills, both initiated and referred. would go on the ballot by title only, and it would be impossible for all, or even a large per cent of the voters, in the short time that remains, to become so familiar with the com- plete! text of both referred and initiat- ed bills that they can cast an intelli- gent ballot by voting in each case for one of the bills and against the oth- er, the-tites of both as they would appear on-the ballot being so nearly “In this connection it should be re- membered that the constitution as now amended makes the following pfo- vision with reference to getting all in-/ itiated and referred measurer before the people in such a way that there shall be ample opportunity to become familiar ‘with the various measures: “All measures submitted to the elec- tors ghall be published by the state as follows: “he secretary of state shall cause to be printed and mailed to each elector a publicity pamphlet, ocntaining a copy of each measure together with its ballot title, to be submitted at any election. Any citi- zen, or the officers of any organi tion, may submit to the Secretary of state for publication in such paniphlet; arguments concerning any measure therein, upon first subscribing their names and addresses thereto and pay- ing the fee therefor, which, until oter- wise fixed by the legislaturé; shall be the sum of two hundred dollars per The law providing for the state publicity pamphlet recites that a copy of it be sent to every voter in the state of North Dakota at least 20 days before the election, and that a copy of arguments concerning any measures shall be-in the hands of the s tary of state not later than fifty days before the election. Does the governor mean to say that the voters of the state wil] know more about the laws that they are expected to live under, if copies of them are not. printed and placed in their hands with arguments pro and con, ag wil be the case if the initiative and’refer- endum election is held as “nas been and will be petitioned for? If the governor denies an election on any law or laws, the voters will be de- prived of just that much more of an opportunity to become thoroughly in* formed—THEO. G. NELSON.

The federal railway adininistration has promised Attorney General Lan- ger that it will let him know some time next mouth whethet it intends to comply in North Dakota with the full crew bill enacted by the last assem- bly.

Twenty-seven states which lad fuil evew bills in operation when the f al government took over the railw have continued to operate under these statutes, Attorney General Langer is inclined to believe’ that similar re nition will be given the North Dakota law.
