Tho prosecution, states City At

tho warning printed at tho top ot all
Initiative petitions which rends an

"Warulug. It Is a felony for auy
one to sign any Initiative or referen
dum petition with any other uamo
than his own, or to knoxvlngly sign
his uamo moru than ouco for thu

Thu city attorney contends that oil
account of ot tho charter provision
declaring persons delinquent on Im
provement assessments, delinquents
signing tho Initiative bill nro guilty
ot folony, because not legal voters un
der legal voters under tho charter.
However, as this clause in tho
charter Is unconstitutional, tho talk
of prosecutions Is simply blutf for

City Attorney McCaho and thu
