I EN0U6H TO KILL AMENDMENT.
Forty-one House Members Are
Pledged to Vote Against It.
-
sg T H- BEES01S, AlIlanceMan-ger
Measure Almost to a Vote When Mem
bera Adjourn Plan la to Change
Senate Bill Agreement to Vote
Agamet It Still Holds Good.
Lincoln. March 7. An attempt to
kill the Initiative and re ferendum bill
now before the houae. was foiled by
an adjournment Just before it came to
third reading and a vote.
During the last few daya a petition
baa been repeatedly circulated among
the members of the houae and the
men Who signed pledged themselves
to vote against the hill. There were
forty-one of theae when the petition
was withdrawn from circulation and,
aa it takes sixty votes to pasa a bill
for a constitutional amendment, these
men could have defeated the bill.
The scheme was to take up the
senate bill now in the committee, and
having got tho house bill well out of
the way the senate bill could be
amended and robbed of its decisive
features. The Prince amerdment, to
Incorporate a provision which would
preclude any abrogation of the bill ot
rights, and the Sink amendment,
which raises the percentage of total
votes necessary to pass constitutional
amendments from 35 to 40, were the
important changes that the people be
hind the scheme seemed to have had
In mind.
The petition or agreement which
pledged the weta to hang together
and kill the house bill will hold over,
of course, but there were a number of
abaenteea and it seemed that a favor
able opportunity had been lost.
Today, when the bill comes up it
will probably fall by at least one vote
of having the sixty necessary for pas
snge. It will get a majority, however,
and the majority will probably de
mand a call of the house. The forty
one men con defeat the bill, but they
cannot raise a call of the house, and
the matter will hang In the balance
until every member Is brought to the
bar of the house and put on record.
Then it will be seen whether the wets
can carry out their plan to throw the
bin into the wrap heap and pass on
altered senate bill.
