Albion News: Maupln’s Weekly says that Senator Morehead was In favor of the Initiative and referendum and supported every amendment that was supported by Skiles, who fathered the bill in the senate. One of the significant facts In the legislature of 1911 was that all of the reactionary senators, of which Senator Morehead was one, were very loud in their pro ; testations in faviorof the initiative and referendum and yet at the same time they were In favor of amend ments to the bill that tended to make it unworkable. The initatlve and referendum bill as introduced by Senator Skiles was prepared by the Direct Legislative League, non-partisan body composed of men of all political beliefs and the percentages as therein proposed were worked out after long and careful in vestigation with the sole end in view of giving the people of this states fair and workable law. The hill originally prepared by Sen ator Hklies proposed a live per cent petition to initiate legislation, but so determined was tlie opposition that It was afterwards necessary to raise tills to ten per cent. Ttie total vote In Nebraska is some thing like 240,000. Tills would mean on a ten percent petition to initiate any hill at least 24,(100 signatures would Ik; required. Hut I lie enemies nt tills Initial ive and referendum were not salistied with this They waotid I lie percentage to initiate a bill as high as to lie practically prohib itive. On February 7th, when tills bill was considered in the committee or i lie w hole an amendment was propose d by the reactionary senators toincreas; the percentage necessary Imiiiaiea law to fifteen percent. Tliis was required at out 25,000 signa tures to have a la v defeated. This proposed amendment was defeated by 1 a vote of 7 to 20. Senator Morehead was one of the 7 who tried to have this amendment in the bill. Senator Skiles voted with the progressives and suceeded In having the amend ment defeated. Another amendment proposed at this time was to require forty per cent of the votes necessary to adopt. This amendment was also defeated by practically the same vote, Senator Morehead voting with the reactionary senators, Senator Skiles voting with the progressives. Another amend ment was proposed that before any constitutional amendment could be adopted that It must be by a majority of the voters cast on the proposition itself. Tills amendment, if adopted, practically would have made It im possible to adopt a ciinstitutional amendment in the state of Nebraska, no matter bow meritorious. It was absolutely a prohibitive amendment It was defeated by a vote of 10 to 7. Senator M ireliead was In favor of tills amendment; Senator Skiles was against it. Another aiueiultnent, whs proposed to prevent any parly endorsing a pro P"sed law so a si might V"ie could not be counted for die hill. This amend incut was ilef.
