Sixteen states had propositions on the recent November ballot which were placed there by citizen initiative, most of them dealing with some form of tax or spending limitation, the Foundation notes in a research report released this week. In addition, there are indications that tax limitation matters will be placed before the legislatures of 15 states in 1979. Utah had no initiative proposals on the November ballot at the state level, but the initiative was used to place local issues before the voters, including Salt Lake County's hotly-debated Proposition 1 proposing city-county city-county unification. Initiative petitions are now being circulated cir-culated to require the Legislature to consider a number of questions, mostly dealing with tax limitation. The initiative, by which citizens may place desired legislation directly before the voters or before a legislative body, is one of the devices of direct legislation which came into prominence around the turn of the century cen-tury as part of the Progressive movement in American politicsT Other A common" direct legislatives devices are the referendum, by which citizens may cause an action of the Legislature to be held in abeyance until it it is approved or rejected by vote of the people; and the recall, by which elected officials of-ficials may be removed before the expiration of their normal terms. Some politcal observers believe the use of direct legislation is an expression of distrust in representative government and an attempt to return to the principles of pure democracy (government (govern-ment directly by the people). It has been pointed out that the Progressive movement developed at a time when confidence in representative institutions was at a low ebb, and that the present surge in the use of direct legislation comes when Americans' confidence in representative government govern-ment has been shaken by such things as Watergate, "Korea-gate," and the many sex and influence scandals that have rocked government. govern-ment. Utah amended its Constitution Con-stitution to provide for use of the initiative and referendum referen-dum in 1900, just two years after South Dakota became the first state to do so. However, implementing legislation was not passed in Utah until 1917. The referendum was first put to actual use in Utah in 1941, and the initiative not until 1952. Utah has never had a recall law, although one was proposed (through use of the initiative) in 1976 and was defeated, both in the Legislature and later by popular vote. The referendum has been used in Utah four times, and has always been successful in defeating legislative enactments. enact-ments. The initiative has been used seven times, only twice successfully: in 1960 to provide a merit system for the selection of deputy sheriffs, and in 1976 to forbid the State Board of Health to require the addition of fluorides "or any other medications" to public drinking water supplies without express approval of the people concerned. Proposals may be placed directly before Utah voters, by use of either initiative or referendum by submitting petitions carrying valid signatures of qualified voters equal in number to 10 of the total vote cast for governor at the most recent election. Proposed legislation may be placed before the Legislature by submitting petitions with voters signatures equal to 5 of the votes cast for governor. Petitions so submitted sub-mitted must be acted on by the Legislature without change or amendment and, if defeated by the Legislature, may be placed before the voters at the next general election by providing additional signatures to bring the total up to 10 of the vote for governor,,,; l(1..; circulating, seeking to place proposed legislation before the 1979 Utah legislature. Utah does not permit amendment of its Constitution Con-stitution by use of the initiative, but many states do permit it. California's celebrated Proposition 13 was a consitutional amendment amend-ment submitted through the initiative process. Direct legislation was designed to be a protection of the rights of the majority against tyranny by an entrenched en-trenched minority in government. govern-ment. However, critics of direct legislation assert that in practice it has become a tool of organized minorities seeking to impose their will on the majority, pointing out that many direct legislation proposals are sponsored by identified special interest groups. "In the light of past history, it is felt that the present surge in the use of direct legislation is likely to subside with time," the Foundation notes. "It is expected, however, that the principle of direct legislation will be retained in the American system of government and will continue con-tinue to be used when needed and doubtless to accelerate in use whenever American citizens lose confidence con-fidence in their electee! officials." emimm moss m) mm-icm mm-icm mtr.t mw08K&. |
