1 30 FIRST ST. 131. FRONT ST.
to strengthen representative government, the.
system is undermining the whole structure
of our republican Institutions.
Th. dear people thins, there are pro
visions in these "new-fangled" lawa which
will furnish them 1th mllH and honey, but
they do not realize that they ana driving
th. goats to the altar and overturning th.
beehives.
The reason assigned for the Introduction
of these political experiments, such as the
Initiative, the referendum and the recall has
been declared to be the deep-seated diatrubt
of th. compentency of State Legislatures and
the deslra to put the law-making functions
and the control of public servants directly
in the bands of the public.
Let me tell you where the trouble was
which rendered our legislators inefficient
and filled the public mind with a distrust in
public officers and in our laws.
It waa in and still Is In the unlimited ex
tension of the franchise.
It is In the placing of the ballot In the
hands of an Irresponsible multitude and a
disinterested electorate.
The source of the whole difficulty appears
to me to be clearly In the ballot, and In
stesd of the thinking people, the responsible
people, the people who stand for something
In civic life, being In control, th. Irrespon
sible, the disgruntled, unsuccessful masses
of our people control the ballot, both state
and National.
