Description
The petitioner has filed in this court a petition for a review of the action of the secretary of state in holding sufficient and filing an initiative petition for a measure providing for a five-year partial moratorium. Combined with the petition for review, the petitioner alleges that the proposed measure is unconstitutional and void and asks that the secretary of state be permanently enjoined from its publication and from placing the same upon the official ballot for election. The petitioner and plaintiff, petitioning for review, alleges that he is a resident and taxpayer in the county of Cass, state of North Dakota, and interested in the event of the proceeding; that the respondent Byrne is secretary of state of the state of North Dakota; that the other respondents are members of a committee for petitioners and that the document filed with the secretary of state purports to be an initiative petition for the measure in question. It is alleged that the secretary of state had accepted and filed the petition and found the same to be legal and sufficient to justify the placing of the measure upon the ballot at the election to be held on June 29, 1932. The petitioner alleges that the initiative petition is void and insufficient in that it ""fails to contain the full text of the measure, which in said petition is set forth, and it does not purport to contain or include any text of said measure whatever as required by article 2, § 25, of the State Constitution."" Also, ""That the said petition is insufficient and void for the reason that the purported measure or law therein contained is unconstitutional and void in the respects and particulars set forth and hereinafter alleged in the attached petition for a writ of prohibition, the allegations of which are referred to and adopted as a part of this petition for review.""
