TO MAKE Mcdford a city beautiful, shade trees must be uniformly planted and cared for along residence streets. Citizens who have civic pride will plant them vol untarily but many will not. Experience has proved that coiiipiilaurv planting is the only satisfactory solution and that shade trees must be placed in the catagory along with other civic improvements. The rejection of the proponed charter amendment at the recent City election, which gave to the city council authority to regulate shade; tree planting, delayed Mcdford at least a year in the movement to become the city beau tiful. All that can now be done is for each property owner io voluntarily go to work to improve his premises, add to its attractiveness and appreciate its market value, by planting shade trees, and planting them at once it will soon be too late. Streets Will then speak for themselves as to the progresHiveness and enterprise of the owners. New Jersey has a plan that could well be followed here, and ladies of the Oreater Mcdford club ih well as members of the Commercial club would do well to endorse such a charter amendment to be submitted at the next special election. By this law tlflc planting of trees along the sidewalks and in the parks of the municipalities is placed in the hands of three citizens of each town. .These serve witlrout compensation and have absolute control over plant ii'g, caring for and maintaining the Irees. In the city of Newark where the law has been in force tor six years 17,000 young trees have been set out on 102 miles of streets. Authority is given the commission io assess the cost against the property in front ol which the trees are set out. Last year the assessment averaged $2.93. This is the whole cost from first to last. If tho tree dies it is replaced free of cost, to the property. The trees are pruned, cared for and protected without expense to the taxpayer after the initial assessment. The money beyond actual expenditures for labor,' stakes, guards, etc. is invested in more young trees for further planting. The commission's powers are not arbitrary. If must give notice through the newspapers of its intention to plant trees on certain streets and must hold public hear ings where all interested in the matter may appear and present arguments pro and con. Only after this hearing and a weighing of the views presented, may the commis sion order the plantings, it is expected that there will be 4000 young trees set out each fall and spring. These will yearly add twelve miles of streets to those already adorned with growing trees. A particularly wise provision of this New .Jersey law is that which requires the trees set out on any street to be of a single species and all of one size.

A few years ago, Oregon stood alone. Today several slates have followed her lead in adopting popular legisla tion, and a score of others are demanding it. The "Oregon plan" has become the state's greatest advertisement, and all over the union it is finding great favor. Progressive republican governors, like Johnson of California, and pro gressive democratic governors, like Wilson of New . Jersey, are urging it and it is only a question of time until it is almost universally adopted. In his message, (Jovernor Wood row Wilson of New Jersey Tuesday said: "The laws in recent veare adopted in the state of Ore gon seem to mo to point the direction which we must also take before we have completed our regeneration of a gov ernment which has suffered so seriously and so long from private management and organized selfishness. Our pri mary laws, perfected, should be extended to every elective office, and to the selection of every committee or official as well, in order that the people may once for all take charge of their own affairs."- A hundred and thirty odd years ago, .Jean .Jacques Ifosseau said: "Sovereignty can not be represented, even as it c;m not be alienated; it consists essentially in the gen eral H. nnd the will is now ascertainable by representa tion. The Kuglish people lelievcs itself free, but it greatly deceives itself; i.l is not so except during the election of members of parliament. As soon as they are elected, it is enslaved, it is nothing." Yet the people of England have much more to say than in America. Public disapproval at once insures a new election, while in the United States people must wait until the elected term expires. The passage of the Uayne Aldrich tariff bill in JOngland would have resulted in jm appeal to the people and a change of government but Americans, must wait for years before iniquitous legisla tion is undone. To correct this evil, to nullify bad legislation, Oregon has followed the example of Switzerland in adopting Hit referendum, and it is only a question of time until it is extended, as it has been in Switzerland, to the nation. The better education of the people, through its use in the various states, will enable them to pass intelligently upon national measures. In .such manner will popular govern ment be lifted from the ranks of theory to actuality, and a democracy, which represents the will of the people, be established. WASHINGTON. J.ui. 18.
