- ear system, is sliown'in the re-
i manding of questions vitally con-

! or rejection. It applies in the case
. of local option; in the issuing of
bonds for local purposes; the rati-

Where is the danger in tins? It
has proved satisfectory in hun-

The chief executive and his ad
viser, the attorney general, would
stand, as they do now,, to prevent
unjust or onconstitatumaL acts by
the- people. Tlia simplification
would be in the direct adoption, by
the people of local "measures, in
stead of the intricate and expen-
Sire routine of a general assembly.
In this matter wa are not wed

the local legislation plan seems to
be the simplest and most feasible.

burdening the general assembly
with them. The plan which gives
assurance of keeping the sessions
within the constitutional provis
ions. and which, at the same, time
will, not cripple the growing inter
ests of tae state by shutting off
needed IocaLbills, will be endorsed
and accepted by the people.
As yet, however; we have seen
no plan which guarantees this, or
is as simple and feamblaas the es
tablishment of local’ boards, cloth

whose acts, an those ofthe general
assembly, are subject ta the ap
