The present form of the Initiative and Ivcferenduni docs not provide Msgorit Rule. Laws effecting all the voters of the State were passed by one-third of the voters at the Inst election. - - , Do you know that laws can be passed by less than one-third of the voters at any election' The Majority Rule Amendment will make it so that less than one-half of the voters cannot pass hiws. Our opponents argue that this is Minority rule, because if -19 per cent of the voters vote for a lull, 20 per cent vote against n bill and l2o per cent do not vote at all on a cer tain bill, they say it is the 2fi per cent non-voting electors that do the legislating, there by defeating the will of the majority. Now, there are 100 per cent, in the total .number of votes cast at any election and laws cannot be passed without effecting the whole J00 per cent, and a majority is more than one-half of that number. Our opponents refuse to recognize the total of 100 per cent or all the voters at an election, who are affected and must pay the cost of passing all laws. "Hut you, Mr. Voter, can readily see that less than the majority of the total number of votes cast at an election is a minority and the 25 per cent of non-voters, who do not vote on a certain measure did not do the legislating and did not defeat the will of the majority, for the majority had not expressed a desire for the measure. We say: We now have Minority Rule in Oregon, because less than one-half of the total number of votes east at an election can pass laws. Defeating the will of less than tho majority is not legislating. Legislating consists in passing laws, but in accordance with the argument of our opponents, we now have a Double Minority Rule System, for if only 20 per cent or a minority of the votes cast at an election vote on a certain bill and out of that minority only 9' per cent vote for a measure and 11 per cent vote against a measure, then the 2 per cent more than 9 per cent deteated the will of the 9 per cent affirmative votes as well as the silent-consen-giving non-voting 80 per cent of the total number of votes cast tit the election. Do you want to take these chances any longer? Suppose you and your friends and many others, just like you, can't find time' to fully consider and vote intelligently on some measures. Suppose tho ballot is loaded intentionally so you shall not bo able to find the time to consider all the measures. Remember you are defeating the Initiative and vou will finallv fill it if vou vote against all measures you have not fully decided upon. If you don't vote, remember that under tho present system, Silence gives consent. All voters in the State of Oregon, our opponents as well as our friends, say the initiative needs amending. No one has suggested a remedy. The Majority Rule Amendment is the remedy. The Majority Rule Bill is a fair and just measure. If you want to be safe, vote for this bill. Remember if it is easy to pass a law without money, that it is casicito pass a law with money. You are now warned to beware. Money, as yet, has not known how to use the Initiative and Referendum, but when it does it is bound to have the uppor hand, under the present system. Protect your own best interests. Vote right on election da v. Go into the booth and put your X after number 322 X YES, on tho ballot. We appeal to your best judgment and know you will not overlook this very im portant measure.
