Yet, this petition was very quickly signed up with the desired number . . . and I dare say that not 5 percent of those signing it read the proposed bill, or know much more about what it contains than they were told by those passing the petition.

I see no difference in campaigning against it now or after it is on the ballot, except that if it were defeated now, it would cost the taxpayers much le s money.
