That this m harmonious to. - ear system, is sliown'in the re- i manding of questions vitally con- - ceming them to them for adoption ! or rejection. It applies in the case . of local option; in the issuing of bonds for local purposes; the rati- • fication of laiva already endorsed : by tlieir representatives. Where is the danger in tins? It has proved satisfectory in hun- .dredsoh instances under local op tion, and would prove equally sat isfactory in various other affairs. 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 ded to any particular scheme, but the local legislation plan seems to be the simplest and most feasible. Wears willing to accept any sag, gestfon which will accomplish leg islation fer the counties without 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 ed with, limited legislative powers, whose acts, an those ofthe general assembly, are subject ta the ap proval or rejection of the chief ex ecutive and his legel advisers. course of time love had rim as smoothly as possible Nobody objected Nobody proph esied evil for the future.
