In Switzerland. when a measure is to be voted on by the people, a copy of the bill is mailed to every qualified voter, explaining the intent and purposes of the proposed law. A ballot accompa- nies the bill, and the voter has several days to consider the matter, and can personally deposit the ballot or can mail it free to the proper ofliccr when he has signed it up.. If the law involves an expenditure, the amount involved, what it is to be spent for and how, what pro- vision is to be made for the collection of the sum, a diagram of the property to be bought and the price, to whom to be paid and all other matters connected with the proposal, are sent to each voter with his ballot. The voter can then see and judge for himself whether the deal is clean and desirable. This familiar- izes the people with the laws, and pre- vents jobbery and corruption. It takes the officers out of temptation to bribery by making bribery of them profitlcss; for they arcluot the rulers and cannot enact laws without the people’s consent, and‘no one would gain by bribing them. This method also prevents the passing of many laws, as in this country. most of which are in the interest of individu- als and corporation, and not in the in- terest of the people. The Swiss people would not tolerate a law for private interest. , . In our country, where the politicians prate about the freedom of the people, we have no right to make laws. That is arrogated by the politicians, who get pay for their peculiar habit of always making laws that benefit corporations or prominent (rich) individuals. In Switzerland the people initiate laws in their ,own interests. They do not peâ€" tition the legislature to “please ” pass a certain law, as is sonietimes done in this free country. They demand a law, and. if the lawmakers do not pass the law, the people have the bill. referred to them, and a majority vote decides what shall be done with the pr0position. Over therp the lawmakers are the ser- vants of the people. Over here the law- makers are the bosses of the people. Over there the people have Direct Leg- islation. Over here we have represent- atives who think their constituents are too ignorant to know what they want, and who, therefore, do not consider our wants when making laws. . The Imperative Mandate, that is, the right of the people to recalls. corrupt lawmaker and put another in his place at any time during his term of office, is the method that is used to prevent cor- porations from railroading a gigantic steal through the legislature. When the senate passed the ship subsidy steal to please Senator Hanna, if the people had had the right of recall. several of our United States senators would now be private citizens, or may be convicts. The Imperative Mandate is one of the provisiOns of Direct Legislation. The people will elect their own senators. and own them during their term of ofiice. This is the reason why the senators are opposed to Direct Legislation. They do not want the people to rule. The peo- ple might discover some very had work that the senators have done. Suppose a proposition is before a leg- islature to pass a bill that will give some set of men a fortune, under the guise of doing something for the public, which is the way such things are done, do you think anybody would put up money to get legislators to vote for such a measure when the pope would have the veto power ? Nixy. They are an given to bribery unless the goals can be delivered. Then. if there wcl'" no private gain that Could afford to pay the bribery. do you bcliovo Illth th :e; islators would vote for such a mun nr-- ? No. They get something out of i' for voting for bad measures. Direct l..:_-,is- latiou will knock the bn-ldler. W.en the people vote on the laws, if they pc- tition for it, bad laws will not be pro- posed, and they would be defeated if they were. Therc‘are those so afraid of injuring our couiitry by revising the constitution. Lovers of liberty do not fear an i jury to freedom by improving:r their organic law. In Geneva, Switzerland. for in~ stance, the people are given an opportu- nity every fifteen years to revise their constitution. Thus, twice in a genera- tion, the people have the right to make sncchhanges in their organic law as the pragress of the world demands. They do not allow their liberties to slip , out from under them as we have in America. The people there are the Government. Here the politician who can control the most votes is the Gov- ernment. . The president of the Swiss republic is simply chairman of the executive council. He.is-- but first among his equals. He has no rank in the army, no power to veto, no power ivith the ju- diciary; he cannot appoint military commanders, or independently name any ofi‘icials. He cannot enforce a pol- icy, declare war. make peace or con-'. clude a treaty. In short. the people of SwitZerland govern themselves by means of the Initiative and the Referendum. No court in Switzrrland can reverse tho- deci‘sion of the Federal Assembly, (Con- gress.) Lawa cannot be repealed by any power but the people themselves. The people are the supreme court. Un- der Direct Legislation, machine leaders can make no profit for themselves or the corporations that pay them. They can- not hold the reins that decide the outâ€" come of a. measure. They can-sell no votes, nor can they command rewards from workers. f ‘ ' The prophets who saw the beginning of endless strife in the introductionof the Referendum in' Switzerland, have long since hung their evil hot air fur- :naces out to cool. The people do not quarrel over who is to be elected or. what proposalsare to come before them. They know they have the deciding vote. Argument is welcomed, but bossism is out of date. There the people have practically buried partisan politics, be- cause they, and not the politicians, are the lawmakers. The people of Zurich, Switzerland, have proved that the science of politics . is simple. By refusing special legislt- tion, they evade a flood of bills. By deeming oppropriations once revised as in the most part necessary, they pay at- tention chiefly to new items. By estab- lishing principles in law, they forbid violations. Thus there remain no pro- found problems of state, no abs-tram questions as to authorities. no conflict as to what is the law. Word fresh from the people is law.â€"J. W. Sullivan. 0.. The Giant Food Trust. A gigantic Trust that is to inclulo' every wholesale grocery in the on ion has been formed. Such as'will not so in are to be crushed by the usual trust. methods. And even then some peop'o will be so egregiously foolish as to 1;. ep on voting for the same old parties un- der whose rule these tyrants are rising to power. When organized, the retail- ers will be able to buy only of this one firm. It will make the prices, and will allow so small a profit that the I‘Ulilll store with a small trade will not be! able to live. This will thin out the re- tail stores, and the larger sales will nua- ble the fewer to do business on a smaller profit, the saving going to the win-le- salers and not to the merchants. Grad- ually the profits will be shaved off until the fewest possible stores remain, and they will be taken in later. The a --.- age retailer thinks he will be a big fish can of these days; but he will be used to help concentrate the grocery business, so that the Grocery Trust can handle it better. We are living in momentous times, but most people do n’t know it. â€"Appeal to Reason.
