propose that tiioso voters of communi-

thus exercised at such a meeting. Em-
ploying the terms adopted by the
Swiss and accepted in the domain of
political economy, we call the propos-
ing oi a law the initiative and the vot-
ing on the law the referendum. Since
the voters themselves thus directly
make the law, thc whole process is
called direct legislation.
3d. It is permaneut
Life is short. What we do we desire
to see endure. Under the present sys-
tem, put a new man or party in power
and in a few years at most we fiud
things in even a worse condition. The
memory of a man thirty years of age
aud upward prove this. To clianye
the system is the essential thing. The
present system, by centering power iu
thc hands of from one to two hundred
men to grant special legislation worth
millions, or to spend large sums of the
people's money, gives every induce-
ment to wrong-doing. Few men. how-
ever honest, couid resist the terrible
pressure brought to bear ou men pos-
sessing such power as we give our law-
makers and executives. Corrupt men
will spend large sums of mouey to get
this power, and its resulting opportu-
nity to become quickly wealthy. Let
a new party, however pure, get in
power, and in a short time the "bood-
lers," "wire-pullers," and "pluguglies''
in general of the defeated parties,
care nothing for principle and going
only where power can be found, will
bo in the new party, and by reason of
their unscrupulous experience gained
in their old party, in a short time they
will be found dictating the nomina-
tions and policy of the new party. The
purer and inure disinterested the rank
and file of this new party, the easier
for shrewd and corrupt men to secure
and maintain control of it.
4th. It tends to separate politics
from legislation.
This means both better men and bet-
ter laws. Each law will be adopted on
its merits. Now is a case of "you
vote my bill and I will vote yours."
Under direct legislation a man will
not have to vote for one or more things
lie does not approve in order to vote
for another thing he does approve, nor
does he have to help elect some black-
leg or trickster to the position of coun-
cilman, sheriff, legislator, etc., in or-
der to save the tariff, free trade, free
silver, sound money, etc. E. S. Moffett
editor of the San Francisco Examiner
in his book, "Suggestions on Govern-
ment," makes this thought very clear,
llo says:
"Suppose, for instance that my
ideas of a national 'policy,' quautitive-
ly expressed, run like this:
Tariff reform
Opposition to silver coinage.... 90
the policy I desired to see carried out,
and, in addition, I could vote for thc
candidate I thought best qualified for
legislative business, regardless of his
opinions on disputed political issues."
6tli. It makes the people real, in-
stead of nominal masters.
As lias been well said:
"When the vote granting a franchise
binds up forever, and our representa-
tive can get SSO.OOO for his vote while
we only give him from SHOO to 81,000
for his year's work, (even if wc should
re-elect him), where is his responsibil-
ity?
"The state or city is our farm. At
present wo give our servants (legicla-
tors, aldermen) almost unlimited pow- j
er over it—power to mar it; power to
mortgage it—reserving to ourselves
scarcely any power except to discharge
them after the harm is fully accom-
plished.
"The city la our stable, which we
commit to these servants, reserving to
ourselves only to discharge them after
they have allowed our horses to be
stolen.
"The Constitution is our pastura
fence; the state is our carriage; our
legislators are our horses. With the
present arrangements, we harness our
horses, hitch them (often wild colts)
to our carriage, throw away lines and
whip and trust ourselves to tlie tender
mercies of I'rovidedcc, which is sup-
posed to have special care of half-wit-
ted people. Our horses may balk oi j ' (
lie down in tlio harness; or they may ' <
wildly tear over the pasture, down ; ,
steep gullies, over rocky road*, and fi-
nally knock our brains out; but w«
have all the time the comforting assur-
ance that our horses will be found
somewhere within the limits of ths
seven-rail pasture fence called the Con-
stitution. With the initiative and the
referendum we would be at all timei
masters of the situation, keeping till
government constantly in our hands. ]
"Our legislators are our cooks, am! j

salaries, but also cat all they cook foi

before us some unsavory dish, we say:

the initiative, when they refuse to cook j
for ns, we make out a bill of fare and
have our meals cooked to order.
"The people have concluded thai 1

satisfactory than making love by j
proxy, and so will soon proceed to |
make laws, as they make love, in per- |

the referendum."
time of day. A captain, with his
watch ln his hand, said: "It Is now
exactly 3 o'clock." "Oh no," eald a
lieutenant, "by my time It's eight min-
utes past three." A third young offi-
cer drew his watch out of his pocket.
"I know my time Is exactly right," he
said, "and my watch saj-3 two minutes
past three." At this Juncture Major
Shafter looked at his sliver watch. "I
don't know what your watches say,"
he remarked, "but I wish you to un-
derstand that In this command it is
five minutes past three." Then th®
young officers remembered'that the au-
thority of thc commanding officer ex-
tended even to the time of day.

With government banks in place o.
our present system of private banks,
called "national banks," the people
would save nearly all the interest tiiey
are now robbed of in the course of bus-
iness. The corners that are now rnn
ju money would be prevented and no
more rot would fill the daily paperj
about "sound money" and the "dan-
gerous greenback." that one "weak
point in our finances." The bankers'I
associations, which meet at Bliort in-
tervals between to discuss money and
tell their audicnce and the newspapers
that a half dozen "financiers" with a
machine called a bank can issue far
better and "sounder" paper currency
than the government, would soon be a
thing of the past.
Wo would get rid of tho nauseating
rot which tkose gentlemen utter over
their wine and cigars. The money ques-
tion of this country will never be set-
tled until it is (alien out of the hands
of these gentlemen who have become
the bunko steerers of the nation. They
now have a bill in tlie house which is
the grandest and most audacious
bunko bank bill ever concocted. It |
proposes to take charge of the biisi- i
ness of the country and direct every- I
thing, both government and people.! W. N. U.—WICHITA.
This bill which the bankers have foist-
ed on to the republican party and made j
spousor for it is the most infamous ever j
advised by the plunderers of modern !
