.ADMINISTRATIVE CODE PETITION
FAIL8 TO CONFORM TO LAW
MANDAMUS SUIT IS BROUGHT
Attorney General Declares That the
Petition Wat Not Circulated In
Proper Manner
Lincoln. Attorney Qonorul -Davis'
official opinion holds that tho petitions
filed with tho secretary of state, ask
log for a roforondum on Governor Mc
Kelvio's coda bill woro not circulated
nor presented In propor form and
shoujd not bo accopted.
Managers of tho roforondum cum
pulgn hud anticipated tho notion, and
papers wero immediately drawn for a
mandamus suit against tho sucrotary
of stato to compel him to receive and
fllo tho potilions.
In gcncrul, Mr. Davis holds that
tho referendum potltloiiB on tho codo
bill nro dofectlvo because they woro
not attuched to full and comploto
coploB of tho measure, which is a
prlntod book of 401 pages. Ho says
that it wus sulllclont to print tho
title on tho petitions thomsolvos, but
clulma thoy should then huvo boon at
tached to tho law by pasting them on,
,or in some other wuy.
The opinion of Attorney Oonurul
Davis is as follows:
"To Honorable D. M. Amsborry, sec
rotary' of stato: I huvo boforo mo
your inquiry of July 14th. You ask
whether tho petitions comply with tho
.statuto and should bo accopted and
filed by you.
"It is our opinion thut section 2337
revised statutes of 1913, la u com
ploto and decisive answer of tho ques
tion you havo ralsod. Thut section
provides that a full and correct copy
of tho title and text of tho law shall
bo attached to Inltiatlvo petitions,
'and roforondum potitlona shull bo ut
tuchod to a full and correct copy of
tho measure on which tho roforon
dum is demanded and may bo (lied in
numbered sections In liko munnor.'
"I do not know what mora clear
languaco tho legislature could have
used to say that a copy of tho ontlro
bill must bo attached to tho petitions
whUn they? are being circulated and
when thoy nro presontod for filing.
"This interpretation in further
strengthened by tho following part
6f the sumo section:
'"When any such referen
dum potitlon shall bo offered for filing,
the secretary of stato, in tho prosenco
of tho governor and tho peroon offer
ing the samo for filing, shall dotatch
tho shoots containing the signatures
and affidavits and cause thorn all to
bo attached to ono or mora printed
copies pf the measure ugatnst
which the referendum potitlona nro
filed.'
"Detached? Detached from what?
Obviously from tho copies of tho meas
ure to which they were attachod whllo
being circulated. Continuing further,
"The detached copies of such meas
ure shall bo delivered to tho porson
offorlng tho samo for filing.
"From whonco did these detached
copies come It not takon from tho
petitions as they wore circulated und
presented for filing? It is hard to
see how anything could bo mora clear
und explicit than 'this soctlon of our
statute. It refers to tho manner and
condition in which tho petitions nro
to bo circulated and slgnod.
"The reasons for this provision aro
obvious. Under our constitution tho
referendum is a reservation of logls
latlvo powor in the votors of tho stato.
By the uso of tho roforondum ovevy
voter Is mado a legislator. Every per
son who signs a referendum petition
is nHklng the privilege of voting on n
legislative moasuro. Tho votor be
comes a legislator. It must thoroforo
follow that tho voter must bo fully
advised of tho matters upon which
he is to sign a petition and lator cast
a vote. Tho intelligent oxorciso of
this powor Is Impossible without tho
voter having n chance to road and
understand tho measure In question.
It Is a matter of common knowlodgo
that referendum petitions nro obtained
by circulators who present tho peti
tions to tho votor with a vory limited
amount of discussion. Unless tho
moasuro upon which n referendum is
to bo invoked is attachod to tho peti
tion, tho elector must rely upon tho
statement of tho circulator, whoso in
terest lies entirely in tho direction of
obtninlng as many signatures ns possi
ble and who Is not. In a position to
give a fair and Impartial statement of
tho moasuro to the votor. To guard
ngivlnst fraud, deception and Ill-ad-vised
action, tho loglslnturo, not only
in Nebraska, but in ovory other stato
where direct legislation is attomp'ted,
has provided that tho voter must havo
under his oyo ns n part of tho petition
to which ho attachos his name, a full
and comploto copy of tho moasure
sought to bo roforrod.
"It scorns to mo that tho circula
tion of roforondum petitions which
contain nothing moro than tho tltlo
to a bill, and tho signatures to which
NN
Case In Supreme Court
Lincoln. An nppoul from tho de
cision of tho Douglas county district
court to tho effect that tho Simon for
eign languago bill Is constitutional
was fllod in tho supremo court by at
torneys roprosontlng tho foreign lan
guage interests. Tho attorneys hold
that the law, which forbids instruc
tion in foreign languages in public
.schools up to and Including the eighth
'grade is contrary to the constitutional
.rights of the people. Tho suit is
are obtained from the voters with na
moro explanation than that given by
tho party who circulates tho potitlon,
Is tho vory cssonco of bad government.
I can concolvo of no more vicious sys
tem of govornment than that which
would pormlt tho circulation of a poti
tlon practically in blank, and then the
attaching of thoso potitlons to a copy
of u cortnln measure and asking to
have that moasuro suspended by rea
son of such a Bystem. Tho whole prin
ciple of our govornment is that the
votor is glvon ovory means of casting
an intelligent voto. To Bay that a
roforondum potitlon which will sus
pend tho operation of n law can be
clrculatod without giving tho votor
oven n copy of tho bill, Is directly con
trary to that prlnclplo, and I may
say for your furthor Information that,
whore this mattor has boon passod
upon In othor states, it lias been held
that n copy of tho bill must bo at
tached to tho petitions whllo thoy
are being circulated.
"Soma confusion in this matter bus
resulted from nn attempted applica
tion of section 2335 of tho rovlsod
statutes to tho facts In this cuso.
Section 2335 provides explicitly tho
form of tho printed petition. It sots
this form out as It is bo to used. But
this section is limited to tho form
of tho petition which must bo prlntod
and haB no roforonco to tho require
ment thnt coplos of tho bill bo at
tached to tho form ub printed.
"Our attention has been called te
tho cuso of nurtllng v. Wnlto, 96 Nob.
532, and 148 N. W. C07. Wo have
mndo u careful analysis of thlB caso
and wo feel thnt It is absolutely in
accord with tho principles heroin laid
down. Tho only question raised, dis
cussed or decided in thut caso in ror
eronco to tho form of tho roforondum
petition waB whothcr or not tho stnt
uto requires n full toxt of un act of
tho loglslaturo upon which a roforon
dum is demanded to bo prlntod on
tho faco of tho roforondum potitlon.
Tho court decided that tho statute did
not roqulro tho printing of tho full
toxt of tho law on tho faco of tho poti
tlon. This Is exactly our own view
and Is following out explicitly the
terms of Soctlon 2335. In othor words,
tho decision In Dartllng VTWalto Is an
Intorprotntion of section 2335, and tho
court expressly states thnt section
2337, which Is tho answer to your
presont Inquiry, 1b Inapplicable to tho
facts as prcsontcd to tho court in that
case. The question of whether or not
roforondum petitions uhall bo nttnehod
to a full and correct copy of tho moas
uro on which a roforondum is demand
ed wob not boforo tho court for de
cision. "In view of the statute and the
roasonlng above given, it Ib my opin
ion, nnd, I nm glad to add that it is
tho unanimous opinion of all tho law
yers attachod to this department, thnt
thoso petitions as prosontcd to you
do not comply with tho statuto, that
thoy wero not circulated In a manner
which complies with" tho stntuto, nnd
that therefore following the law, you
should refuse to accept them for fil
ing." Primary Referendum Filed
Lincoln. A petition signed by 24,
049 voters has been filed with tho sec
retary of state asking for n refer
endum on section 1 of H. R. 323, the
bill amending the direct primary law.
Section 1 excepts from the operation
of the direct primary law, in addition
to the offices previously excepted, all
state officers other than members of
tho legislature, governor, United
States senator nnd members of con
gress. In effect it provides thnt n
state convention made up of delegntcs
elected by n county convention com
posed of delegates elected from each
voting precinct in tho county shall
havo tho right to nominate candidates
for lieutenant governor, treasurer,
railway commissioner, secretary of
state, uudjtor, land commissioner nnd
attorney general. Tho constitution
permits referendum on any part of an
act, and the one filed docs not seek to
have a vote taken on the other amend
ments made, which provide for direct
election of delegates to county con
ventions nnd gives the women equal,
representation with the men on party
committees.

INDIAN THIEF HAD INGENUITY
Remarkably Clever Stratagem by
Which Plegan Escaped With Hie
Booty of Stolen Ponies.
Among th many Interesting stories
told by members of the Canadian
mounted police Is ono that hns to do
with the cleverness of on Indian.
One snowy morning a bnnd of Orees
awoke to find that nbout n dozen of
their ponies hnd been ntolcn during the
night. A band to go In pursuit was
Immediately orgnnlzed, and In tho
course of nn hour the trull was struck.
Tho bnnd followed It for thirty miles
or more, till It entered a river nnd
headed for n little wooded Islund.
Smoke was rising from the trees, and
an opening, apparently the mouth of
a envc, was In plain view. Presently
a Plegnn Indian showed himself in
front of the opening. At his heels wns
n dog. n
Pretty soon the dog smiled the
Crees. who were lying low, und hegnn
growling nnd burking. The Plegun look
ed up, glnnrod nbout him for n moment
and then Instantly entered the cave.
It. nbout ten seconds, another Plpgnn
came round the rocks nnd nlso wont
In ; then nnother, and nnother nnd an
other. The Crees lay silently In the
bushes, counting, till upward of fifty
Plpgnnn hnd come round the rocks and
gone Into the envc, and still they kept
coming. Ench carried a rifle.
When at Inst seventy men hnd disap
peared In the cave, the superstitious
nnd cautious Crees concluded thnt the
evil spirit hnd something to do with
It. So thoroughly were they filled with
this Iden thut even when re-enforcements
came, which wus In a few hours,
they were reluctant to attnek the
island.
Thnt night, however, one Cree, less
cicdulous than the others, crossed over
the Ice to Investigate. On approach
ing the supposed cave, he found thnt
It was no cave at all, but simply un
opening lending some ten feet Into the
rock, where it made a turn and enmo
out on the other side.
There was the remnant of a single
camp fire, the ponies were gone nnd
not an Indian was In sight. The In
genious Plegan thief, by mnklng the
circuit of the passage, and the end of
the Island seventy times, had so de
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape.
Want to Rent Old Castle?
If anybody wants to buy a ruined
castle, described as "of great histor
ical and romantic history," now Is their
chance, according to advertisements In
serted in. the British papers.
It Is not exactly modern, dating, as
it does, from 10G0, and the advertiser
states thnt "considerable outlny will
be required to reconstruct it." The
purchaser Is assured, however, that It
reconstructed, "a unique and charming
home would result."
Nothing Is said about ghosts, hut it
stands to reason that a castle of this
age must have a large and lively flock
of such Insects. So here's a chance for
some of America's millionaires to ac
quire at small cost a castle and all
that goes with It.
An added Inducement Is that there Is
good trout fishing near by, so that
when tired of gaslng at his unique and
charming home the purchaser can rest
bis mind by going fishing.
British Land Changing Hands.
Land In the 'British Isles is changing
hands at the rate of 100,000 acres a
week, well-informed real estate deal
ers estimate. By the end of this, year
some $100,000,000 In land deals will
have been completed.
Large estates are being sold, mostly
In smnll lots. One of 10,100 acres In
Durham fetched $430,000 when cut up
Into 06 farms. Syndicates are getting
In their work. One estate, valued nt
$.r00,000 was sold to a syndicate for
$750,000 and the latter disposed of the
land to another syndicate for $1,000,
000. Only 3,000 acres were Involved.
Tennnt farmers arc pressing for op
portunity to own the land and large
landowners arc availing themselves of
the chnnce to "get out" at high prices.
