BUCHANAN WARNED ABAIHST BUCKING PEOPLE Interesting Debate Proceeds Vote in House By Which That Body uc- tied People's Will In Regard to Flsliinu in Rogue River. Tha Telegram im ine iouuwuik rouort of Uio dbto on tha Jtogue Jth-er. flail bill, DUMd ly tin people, . . . ,L. , tUm i,-J whloa owftrowa In the lionae Thursday: With the solemn warning of Hol land ringing In their oars that if tioy took such action, it would be uvldanco on Ha faca that they hnd loft their consciences at homo, and lit timely injunction of Huclmiian that ouperlenca has demonstrated flint ah dffort to destroy a nioaaure pafMfOd by the people, "though It be false and pernicious as hell," will surely bring U punishment, 32 mem ber of tho house this morning voted repeal the initiative enactment closing the Hogue river to all oxcupl hook and line fishermen. This Is tho first time In Orogon legislative history that either branch of tho IfiglBlaturo has had tho tomor Ity to overthrow tho law or tho peo ple. The excuse generally otrorod was that, owing to a lack of under standing of tho Initiative law, the people bad put out of business tho Ilumo cannory at the mouth of tho Rogue river, roprosontlng lnterosts worth $250,000, in the Interest of "a few hook and line anglers." Tho fal lacy of this argument, said tho oppo nents of tho bill, lay In tho fact that the pooplo wore woll awaro of what thoy wore doing as tho purport or tho mouHiiro was plainly printed In tho initiative petition, and thnt If time showod a mlstnko had boon made It would bo up to tho peoplo and not tho legislature to rectify the orror. Tho effects of this defiance of tho will of tho pooplo, aa a result or the indofntlgablo labor of the big lobby which has been maintained In Salem by tho Ilumo cunning Interests alnco tho bill In uuestlon, No. 218 on tho calendar, by Pierce, was Introduced, will bo fnr-roachlng and affect many parts of the state Horn a political standpoint. Ona of I ho most sur prising features or the nrralr Is that tho appoal.of Westerlund, tho .lack-, Mm county representative, .nut to tri te thwart the will ,of the peoplo and his explanation that the initiative law is good and finds favor In southern Oregon were not heeded, evon by many members of the Multnomah delegation olectad on tho Stutuniont No. 1, direct primary and Initiative anil referendum platrorm. The list of proponents of tho bill to over throw tho people's law Includes the names of Chatten, Ambrose, Bryant, Clemens, Cole and Fonts. The debate was opened this morn ing by Thompson of l.ake, who M aartod that by the passage or Uio Ini tiative law cloalng Rogue river prop erty lutereata worth ft quarter of a million dollars had been put out or bualueaa. He explained that if It were possible for a mistake to be made under the initiative the people in tills case had erred. The law was Uaaaed, he represented. In the Interest of a few auglera and works a grave Injustice. Pbuta, reaffirming his aduereuce to the principles of the Initiative ami referendum, esproaaed the belief that lo people had made a "alight mis take." tha. Htuue way aa the legisla ture la likely to make "grave mls takea," and that us he had beeu tin uortuned In the Interest of Justice U rectify that blunder of tho people, lie had arrived at the conclusion that la entire Initiative law relative to Ule Rogue river should he repealed. "The people knew what they were ilolUK wheii they voted in faor of the Initiative law," declared Weaterlund. "Titer are well satisfied with the law Of It exists. If an trior has been made let the people, who thua ex preaaed their decision, correct It. Thirty thousand persons In southern Oregon are behind the Initiative law ga against the canning Interests." Cole asked Pierce several Ques tions relative to the difference In the habits of the ohlnook salmon and of BUMlhoad trout, which he also called salmon, and the method of catching them in relation to the uae of neta. Hooka and lines. On bolus answered ha Mid he would support the bill to "remedy the injustice done." "The uiembera of this house should remember that under tho Initiative ovw. vtter in Oregon is g legisla tor." dt( l.ired nuchaii.it), In oppoalUg Pierce's u 1.

Clemens said the legislator oxlsts to right wrong ns woll as to pass laws. If tho pooplo had known the purpose of the Initiative measure, he contlniiod, It would novor havo been passed. Two thousand porsons wore mild by hlni to havo petitioned for the ippnal of the law. "Yes," remarked Huchaiinti, "hut nearer 200.000 persons voted on It under the Initiative." Clemens lepllod that ho is govern ed by his own cunscionoo In mnttors of legislation and fears not "tho par ty lash." "Nor do 1 euro anything about tho party lush," exclaimed Thomp son. "That paper down In Portland with tho rod hondllnoa may scream out against me dully, as It has been doing, hut It makes no dlfforonco. I am satisfied my constituency will back mo up." Holland declared that nil those who had not loft their consciences at homo would vote against Pierce's bill. Ho added that It Is a dangerous thing to try to overthrow the expressed do slre of tho pooplo. "I brought my conscionco with mo," answered Thompson, "and that Is why I am not under a bunion of pledges."
