Resorts to Trickery "We have not the time to spare to writo an extended reply to tho editorial appearing in the last issue of tho Times in opposition to the adoption of the initiative and referendum, but wo do not see that there is need of saying much in reply. The only point it contained that could be classed as argument was based on a mis statement of fact. Eliminate the false assertion and tho argument is also eliminated. The statement that tho move ment to adopt direct legislation, otherwise known as the initiative and referendum, was started by the anti-saloon league is entirely without foundation jn fact, and the statements -made for the pftffrW of Miiiluentf fafvoters by prejudico in a case Where there is no argument that)1 can be brought to bear upon them. It is a matter of history that the initiative and referendum was advocated by many persons in the United States, particularly by leaders of the populist party years before the anti-saloon league had over been heard or thought of. As a matter of fact, a large percentage of voters who believe high license under tho local option system to bo the best method of handling the liquor traffic problem, also be lieve that the queation should be settled by a direct vote and are heartily in favor of tho initiative and referendum. This is shown by the vote in Nebraska cities where it has been adqpted. To mention two will be sufficient: Two years ago Kearney adopted the initiative and referendum by 1 ' a good majority, but went for license by 83 majority. Havelock which is a license town recently adopted the initiative and refer endum by a majority of more I than four to one. The statement that a proposi- ' ,. . . ... , j tIon can be so submitted under tnis law that those who f avor ' . , ,, , . ""' jcan vote together for it AVhlle those who oppose will be divided I ; f . T. . . ,, . ,h lnlse- " JS true that Several i propositions may be submitted I 1 ,, , , , , j on one "allot, but where more than one proposition is subrnit- . , TCVll-, v vnn,np r A 0 mTyr " ' " ' -"v '""no iuu RIGHT TO VOTE FOR OR A- GAINST EACH AND EVERY PROPOSITION so submitted. The statement that the system of voting directly for or against any proposed measure is "com plex" or "complicated" is puerile initiative and referendum is more easily understood than the Aus tralian ballott system under which all elections in Nebraska are held. Any one with sufficient intelligence to vote at a general or city election in this Btate can vote on a proposition under the initiative and referendum with out danger of making a mistake.
