"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.
