governor, and the surveyor general by
the board.
Referendum petitions bearing 13,000
signatures were submitted to
Secretary of State Scott White on
May 28, and June 11. Warner applied
for the writ of mandamus to compel
the secretary of state to accept the
petitions for filing and certify
suspension of operation of the first
14 sections of the bill until voted on
by the people in the 1932 general
election.
On the advice of Attorney General
Peterson, who ruled the petitions
were inoperative, the secretary of
state allowed the matter to go into
court for settlement.
The only possible avenue through
which opponents of the tax bill can
now prevent its operation is to have
the supreme court over-rule Judge
Speakman's decision.
