I I JO 1'OSUlt pI'OV I S that tho measures wore given carol ul attontion and close study by tho mass of voters, and no citizen is worthy of the 'ballot who does not take tho trouble to understand what ho is called upon to vote. In tho forty days of a legislative session, legislators are called upon to pass upon uearlv oOO proposed laws.

I hat they made as wise a selection as the legislators would have, can-, not be questioned. j The Oregonian's advice to vote yes on four measures i and no on all the others, regardless of their merits, was I universally disregarded. A groat deal of discrimination! was" used, and the various bills were considered upon their supposed merits. Mistakes may have been made, but the probabilities are that there were fewer mistakes than ir logislaturo. pestered by lobbyists, would have made. ' The legislature voted, over (Governor Chamberlain's veto, to increase the salarv of the Maker circuit judijo from 5000 to $-1000 a year. The people affected objected by taking a referendum on the proposed ..increase. The Oregonian championed the salary grab and the voters re pudiated it with a maioritv of oS.oOS. Tu all. nine measures were approved by the people i and twenty-three rejected. Those approved were t he east - fl ern Oregon asylum, the .Monmouth normal school, the home a .tile bill, the employers' liability law. the good roailsiH amendment, the presidential primary law. the three-B rn,,,.M... ;,,.... ...,wi.,1i i,- i?...-... ,.;,,,,. i;..i. i.;n .,.,,1 i,. 8 lUllL Ilia ,l'1.

Among the measures defeated were the various count livision bills, woman's suffrage, constitutional convention, 'egislative districting, two normal schools, state wide pro hibition, search law, employes' indemnity commission and official gazette. ' In most instances, the majorities returned. were decisive. r'rom 10,000 to 125,000. Tn but two instances, wore majori ties' as small as 1030. All this indicates study and discrim ination on the part of the voters. If the initiative and referendum is amended, it .should )nly be to raise the percentage of voters rofjiircd to a peti tion for submission, which would have a tendency to check die number of bills submitted.

THE direct priiiiary has proven the most ofi'cctivi' moans of smashing tho political machine, of dostroy 'ng boss control and sunderinthe alliance lytwcon Hpocinl "nterests and politicians, yi't devised. Tt is gradually ;.c "omplishin' the destruction of government for "tho benefit )f favored classes, and the restoration of government t !"lie )eople. In those states where the direct primary obtains, peo ple have the privilege of voting for candidates they have themselves selected in a free for all contest. They have nothing to say in those states where thev are giyj&i their L-hoice between candidates selected bv rival bosses or b he same boss. In "Now York, for instance, the pet)))le n en jiven the option of voting for the candidate selected l Boss lurphy or Hoss Koosevelt, and neither; candid-ilV vvas accentable as is proven bv the fact that over a million voters refused to vote. The democratic victory there was in no sense a victory for the people. Commenting upon the direct primary, William Allen White, in an article in the December American Magazine says : "The primary system of nominations has done all that its advocates claimed it would do. It has broken the chair binding business to politics. And it has doife more. It has released public sentiment, and with the release of senti ment, with the possibility of a real expression of public sentiment, has come a definite growth of public sentiment. And how strong and unanimous it was as it came rolling uj in tne returns trom the primary elections and in the returns of the general election. "Never before have we been so nearly one people, with one dominant political ideal as we have shown our selves this summer and autumn. "We have said, this is our country -we realize it now; we propose to vun it; now that we have found the political gunpowder we propose to end tlfe political feudalism under which we have been living this is our country, for we are of one mind and that mind is finding voice. And that voice is speaking for the aver age man. "Never before in all the world have any ninety mil lions of people held one idea, one abstract idea, so firmh in mind as the American people have held this idea; fhal I apital, the product of the many, is to be operated funda mentally for the benefit of the-many. This idea is essen- j tially an altruistic idea. For if is not the poor who have spoken, nor the rich, buf those who have small means which ' they are willing to put under the common rule. "The masses who spoke at the primaries and at flic! elections were well-to-do, honest men with sacrifice, not reed, in their hearts. They are the insurgents.

DEFEAT OF JUDGE KING. W 10 II A VF learned in Oregon fo choose our Cniled Stales senators, our governors and our sheriffs re gardless of party. "We have not yef advanced far enough to choose, our supremo court justices. Perhaps this accounts for fhe defeat of .'Judge AVill I?. King for re-election a defeat most regrettable. A non partisan supremo court is most essential in the interpreta tion of laws. from parlisaiiKhip. In Pennsvlvania, Indiana, and other states, democrats as well as republicans are nominated by both parties. The fitness of the caudates, rather than his political party, is fhe determining feature- .Judge Kuig is the peer of any man who ever sat. on ffhe bqiioh, His ability is universally recognized. As a justice, he has "made good and his record entitled htm fo another term. That he was not elected is to be deplored, for it is Oregon's loss. , SPECIAL WM0 Suspected, Murderer Cnunht.
