 SUMMARY OF MEASURES TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE 
 PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA IN 1914 
 
 At the general election in November, unless a special election is called 
 
 before that time. 
 
 Compiled by Documents Department, California State Library. 
 
 As the time is short before the people 
 of California will have to vote on many 
 measures, a brief summary of them may, 
 perhaps, help libraries toward having 
 available material on the subjects covered 
 by the measures. 
 
 It might be suggested, too, that when 
 asked by high school students, clubs, etc., 
 for subjects for debates, public discus- 
 sions, papers for meetings, etc., considera- 
 tion be given to these subjects, so that 
 when/ the time comes to vote, the people 
 will have a better understanding of the 
 measures. 
 
 The State Library plans to try to pre- 
 pare lists of references on some of those 
 subjects represented that are not already 
 covered 'Satisfactorily by up-to-date bibli- 
 ographies. Accordingly, as a beginning, a 
 list of references on "The eight hour 
 working day" follows the summary of 
 measures. 
 
 These measures are to be found in the 
 California Statutes, 1913, as indicated, 
 except the initiative measures, which are 
 not yet in print. The edition of the 
 Statutes is limited by law, but copies may 
 be consulted in public libraries, county 
 law libraries, courts, etc. The legislature 
 does not provide for the printing of 
 enough separate chapters for general dis- 
 tribution. Later in the year the Secre- 
 tary of State will issue for distribution 
 to voters a pamphlet containing the text 
 of all measures to be submitted to the 
 people, with the arguments for and 
 against them.
