TO GET DIRECT LEGISLATION
Essentials Are Voters' Veto and Ini
tiative or Advisory-vote System
The supreme earthly power in a
nation, state or city is termed the
sovereign power. In this country it
is said to be in the people the vot
ersbut this is an illusion, except
where the people can instruct by di
ront.vnte. or where 'they possess a
veto power and a direct initiative.
Wherever this power or tne voteis is
absent there is machine rule. This
rule of the few under popular forms
results in special-privilege laws, se
cured through graft and maintained
Vv craft. -
The system through which a voter's
veto power is exercised is termed the
referendum. The bills enacted by the
legislature or congress are referred
to the voters,' if petitioned for by "a
small proportion usually five per
cent. . This is the optional referen
dum. There are cases in which the '
law requires that a bill must be sub
mitted to the people and it is termed
the compulsory referendum. .
A veto power is only one part of
the supreme power, another section
of it is the direct initiative, usually
termed the initiative. Bills can be
proposed by a small proportion of the
voters usually eight per cent. Each
bill is considered by the elected rep
resentatives and .they can submit a
competing measure, the people tak
ing their choice or rejecting both.
It is exceedingly difficult to estab
lish the initiative and referendum for
it requires a constitutional amend
ment. A "short cut" for the re-establishment
of the people'- sovereignty
is to install a system whereby the
people can instruct representatives.
Along with this the candidates are
pledged that, if elected they will obey
the will of their constituents when
expressed by referendum vote. This
system is in successful operation in
various places.
The people's veto and direct initia
tive, or the establishment of a direct
vote system for instructing represent
atives establish in the people all the
powers of sovereignty, for they, can
legislate as they choose. They can
establish direct nominations system
and do whatever else is thought best.
The people's sovereignty is the
broadest possible term to designate
the real question at issue. .Today the
few are in power through machine
rule and the question is "Shall the
people's sovereignty be established?
To do so requires the installation of
the referendum and the initative or an
advisory vote system. As rapidly as
either system is installed the people
can do as they like. Reform after re
form can "come about, and the people
will advance as rapidly as they are
fitted . to advance. . r
