RULING BY INJUNCTION
REFERENDUM WILL FREE PEOPLE
FROM THIS TYRANNY
Government by Court Writs is the Re
suit of Machine Domination and De
struction of Machines Is Certain Un
der Popular Sovereignty
Government by injunction is that
system of government which recently
came into being with the new uses
to which the injunction has been put.
These new uses of the injunction
have resulted, first, m the abolition
of trial by Jury in certain cases,
which is being gradually extended 'as
occasion requires; second, the system
prevents a review of the ' facts by
higher courts; and third, a new legis
lative system Is installed whereby
certain acts in opposition to the rule
of the few are declared unlawful by
judges whom the ruling few nominate
and elect. , u
Indictments Abolished
Incidentally, the system abolishes
Indictment. Furthermore, one be
comes a prisoner as a result of a
mere filing of charges by an attorney
of the ruling few, coupled with an
order by a judge. In this proceeding
there are no witnesses, and no ap
pearance of the defendant or his
noimsel. This is neither better nor
worse than Russian despotism, and
It has gone so far that in Chicago a
rppfmt. iniunction by Judge Heldom
against the striking printers is of
such a character that "it is absolute
lv imnossible to obey" says John C.

RIGGS The Drug Cutter
1321 O St. Lincoln, Neb.
graphical Union No. 16. The follow-
ng resolution was adopted by the
Chicago meeting:
'That for the preservation of the
rights of the people it has necome
Imperatively necessary that steps
should be taken to limit the power
of judges, lest by precedents and
foVms of law every innocent act be
made criminal and punished as such
at the pleasure of the Judges."
Two Methods Open
There are two possible methods for
retaking from the Judges the exces
sive power they are exercising. Either:
reform legislation must be - enacted
by the party machine, acting through
congress and the legislatures, or the
people must rc - rtablish themselves
as a nnai power over legislation
through the installation of a system
whereby they can vote direct on pub
ic questions.. This latter method is
the more practicable as is demon
strated by the fact that government
by injunction is a product of machine
rule and is growing worse and worse;
The underlying system, machine rule,
must be terminated.
Make Sure of Candidates
This is recognized by organized
abor. The American Federation of
Labor representing one-eighth of the
people of the country declared last
year that the establishment of the
people's sovereignty is the dominant
8sue and the resolution concludes
with the following declaration:
"That every voter, Is urged to agree
with his fellow citizens that he will
vote for such legislative candidates
only as are pledged to the immediate
establishment of the peolpe's rule.
Today, as in 1776, the establishment
of political liberty is the dominant
ssue. Why should voters choose be
tween rulers when they ean at once
come the sovereign power?"
Judges Indorse Referendum
Even the near return of the peo
ple's sovereignty places backbone in
the judges. At Buffalo, N. Y., Mr.
Justice Kruse of the supreme court In
granting recently an application for
a mandamus to the election com
missioner of Erie county decided that
a city council may order and pay for
an advisory referendum vote provided
the question relates to municipal af
fairs. Thus the court upheld the city
council s authority to re-establish the
people's sovereignty. With this power
in the city council legally recognized
the , people of a city can easily gain
their freedom locally by pledging the
aldermanic candidates.
