Although the petltlona -have not yet been alined bj the required per cent of the voters. It. Is thouht there , will be no difficulty In ettln the nec essary signatures, thla work will beat a at onoe. - -- -; ."v-s-: - - 'The aubmlsalon of .theae amendmenta Ul take the place ef-the conatltutlonal i nventlon which haa been advocated I r tnaoy jrears.v " Thoae who, are, behind movement contend .that everything t U could be done by a conatltutlonal aventlon may be accoropUehed by re irtlng to the initiative, without what It' la aald would toe many attendant ' evilav- v - -'W..V ' :' .One of the principal amendmenta pro- -oeed U that which will alve the people ower to invoke the Initiative on stnele items of appropriation bills. The law Is such that at the nresent time If an appropriation- bill be objectionable. It must either so to final passage and ap ' proval by the .executive, er be vetoed by him .aa a jwbole. If the people wish to disapprove any one item they must estop the complete bill. - ' , v Mora ewe to . Kaolalpalltieei The bill of the last' legislature ap propriating expense "money for the pub lio Institutions la held up by the Initi ative, although those - who- signed the Initiative petitions would willingly have permitted many of the appropriations to so into .effect. v Another important feature In the pro posed amendments is the conferring of largerlocal -government powers- on ran nlclpalitles.' Under the., existing stst- ute .the legislature- must' enact -ell -charters; and the members from other cities and counties, having no interest in the organic. law about to bo passed, have equal voice In It with the -members from the county In which the elty. la located. It ia believed that thla makes It possi ble for politicians to trade support be tween themselves to the detriment of good government. . ' -'" -''. ; '- ' One radical proposal is for an amend ment giving the people the right under the initiative to expel an undesirable rubllc official from hie position. - The theory aa outlined In the pamphlet is sued by those Interested In the move ment is that if officials realise that they may be discharged by their em ployersthe people at any time, they will be more diligent in their efforts to . crry out the wishes of their constltu enclea.& -: vi - '".'.-', ". Perhaps the most ' Important of the , amendments to be aubmitted 1a that which would give to minority parties proportional representation in .the legis lature or in city councils. The pamphlet sets forth that It ia rea sonable to grant, for Instance, to a two fifths . minority party ' representation proportioned to its strength. Instead of denying It any representation what ever. -,.- , . ;.-,-;.. ' Although the amendment may in large 1 measure make - conatltutlonal "conven tions unnecessary, yet It Is not proposed , to do' away with them, but on the con trary make It easier for the people to call them. Under the present law two successive legislatures must pass a bill calling for a convention, but the pro posal is to snake it legsl for the legis lature to call one by a single enactment. -' It la further proposed to restrain the legislature from i providing! Inequitable , representation la such convention. -'- Considerable Interest will be shown in . the anti-pass bill, for whoss enactment a strong effort will be made. J The ar- a measure ve-)eOT W often presented that It lf, lStt-nrmf mM Yi -1 bellevad It will meet with approval. The ,.,. tor 10 days; final return limit To sssertlon Is msde that railway com ponies have exerted immense influence on legislatures and city councils by the liberal giving of peases, and that it will .be-!n the.
