A curious spectacle is appear
ing in tne legislature at tjlem.
Nearly all the bills have an emer
gency clause, that is, a clause de
claring that the peace, health and
public safety are endangered, that
the bill shall take effect immediate
ly after its approval by the gover
nor. Of course, a legitimate rea
son ex'sts in some cases for the
emergency clause, but in many of
them the purpose is to get the bill
passed in such a way that it will1
not be subject to referendum veto
by tbe people. The supreme court
has held that laws needed to pro
mote or protect the peace, health
or public safety may have the emer
gency clause, and that such -bills
cannot be submitted under the ref
erendum for approval or rejection
by the people. Accordingly, to
put their bills out of the reach of
the dear and dangerous people, and
bey and chance of the veto these
selfsame people have in the referen
dum, the leeislators are prone to
add an emergency clause to nearly
all bills.
