More head's R co-d.
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. H'cd 11) a vole of !) m lo

was for the Initiative and referendum
wa«oneof the llu of Senators who
tried to have enacted an unworkable
liw. It U a significant fact that In
connection with this fight on the
initiative and referendum that
Senator Skiles who was the author of
the bill said In an open letter to the
State Journal:
”1 cannt help but believe that the
attack on the per cent required for
the referendum is only preliminary
and incidental to the main and serious
attack on the method of amendlug the
constitution, and I wish to reiterate
with all the force at my command
that it is Hie corporations and vested
Inerests who are demanding that the
hill Iks so amended as to make it prac
tically Impossible for tlie people to
amend the Constitution, notwith
standing the fact that the vote on
i lie proposit ion might he overwhel
mingly In favor of it.”—Nebraska

1912 page 5.
