1111.11 1111 is] Rejected
HARTFORD. July 24.-——~Tbe public
mount in the late winter by Senator
Donnelly was unfavorably reported up-
on today and rejected. Senator Mo-
Nell made a short address upon the
mnierits of the measure, saying in part:
. "I believe in the bill and favor it,
because it would give the voters of
the state an opportunity, if they so
desired, to express themselves upon
important public measures in' which
they maybe interested, and to that
extent instruct their representatives.
As far as it goes, I consider it a very
desirable piece of legislation In the
interest of the public. The bill is
almost a duplicate of the ‘publlc opin-
ion’ bill passed by the legislature of
lllinois in 1901, which has given gen-
eral satisfaction to the voters of that
state. ,
“The states of Oregon, South Da.
kota. Nevada and Utah have gone
much further than this 'public opinion’
bill as they have adopted the initia-
tive and referendum. Two-thirds of
the members of the Ohio legislature
are pledged to a constitutional amend.
ment, making the initiative and refer-
endum part of the constitution. In
Maine the convention of both parties
have promised to submit such an
amendment to the constitution of that
state So it will be seen that othei
states ale adopting the ‘public opin-
ion' idea and Connecticut will be only
following instead of leading. when a
bill like this becomes a law. The right
.of the people to instruct or advise
their representatives, it seems to me.
cannot become a party issue, for if
it should be contended that the people
ought not to have the power to in-
struct their public servants, it would
be a serious denial to thei rights.
Experience shows that then neie pow-
er in the people to 11:11 what they want
is enough to insure. good government
Undei our present system of rows
seniation the wishes of the majority
of the voters of the towns and cities
in this state are frequently treated
with apparent contempt.
‘ "I am at loss to understand how
any member of this general assembly
imbued with the principles upon which
this republic was founded, can be on-
posed to this hill. 1 favor it because I
believe it to be a measure which if
made a law would give the people an
opportunity of expressing their opin
ion publicly upon all important mai-
ters affecting thcor interests, if they
so desired As an illustration of the
importance of this bill should it be-
come a law, the people at the 1:011!an
election in the fall could on petition
have a right and an opportunity to
express their opinion and wishes rc—
garding the "telephone" question and
as a member of the general assembly
1 would be only too glad to be fortified
in my action and vote upon'ihis ques-
tion by on expression of opinion, as to
what the majority of the people of the
slate want."
Senator McNeil said there was no op.
position to the bill at the hearing and
those who favored It came from var-
ious parts of the state.
