The article presents information on political developments related to Utah. A group of progressives in Salt Lake City discovered recently that, hidden away in its archives and almost forgotten, Utah had an initiative and referendum law. They decided the time was at last ripe for using this instrument of democracy, public sentiment having visibly changed as a result of the hard times, which had made about one-third of the families of Salt Lake City dependent upon public aid. Under the act, the petition calling for a referendum on the proposed measure must be signed before notaries by 10 per cent of the voters at the last previous election.
