“Back of the ineffectiveness of our legislative system is the indifference of the public.

“The Legislature continues ineffective for precisely the same reason that at the special election — at which measures of the greatest importance to the state were voted upon — out of a registration of approximately 1,250,000 only 260,000 voted.”
