Portland legislator HUs Upon Flan to Check Abuse of Initiative and Referendum. SALEM. Or., Dec. 16, For the purpose of putting an end to the er cessive use of the initiative and refer endum, State Senator J. N. Smith, of Marion County, will introduce a bill In the coming session of the legis lature makiug it a felony for one man to hire another to circulate a petition for signatures. Senator Smith believes this Bimple provision, will put a stop to the fHing or a urge number of initiative and referendum petitions every tvo year? and yet will not In any way Interfere with the exercise of this power when there Is a real occasion for it. Senator Smith's bill will put the signing of petitions upon exactly the same basis as casting ballots, so far as criminal laws are concerned. His bill wit) be In the same language as the law for the punishment of persons who bribe men to vote. That law is known as "Section 1900" of the Code. The only change will be that the act prohibited will be giving r offering to any person any gift, gratuity or 'valuable consideration, or promising to do or cause to be. done any act beneficial to such persons, "with in tent to influence or induce such per son to circulate or procure signatures to any petition for the initiative or referendum." The penalty will be the same as that prescribed for the punishment of bribery voters, from one to five years in the penitentiary or three to twelve months in the county Jail. No fine will be pro vided. Senator Smith said today: "This will in no way hinder the proper use of the Initiative and referendum. Whenever there is a real occasion for resort to direct legislation pop ular sentiment will be so strong that men all over the state will volunteer j to circulate petitions. This bill is Intended to shut off that class of di rect legislation which has no public j0R0TJpAIHT7 PlBBONOETS "Dorothy Dainty" Ribbon Sets, in' pretty boxes, make a charmingly appropriate gift for Christmas.

"To raise the percentage of signa tures required and btill permit money to be used would be to place more power In the hands of the man wil ling to use money to satisfy hit whims or promote his personal in terests. I believe the percentage now required' is large enough provided no improper use of money is permitted lu securing signatures." A G I LIMN ACQUITTKD.

Says Roosevelt Ih (J mi lest Libel on T. H. Ever Seen. WASHINGTON, I). C. Dec. lfi. Congress seems to regard President Roosevelt's speclnl message request ing action to be brought against Jos eph Pulitzer, editor of the World, In any but n Herious light. While It is not possible to obtain personal views of members It Is apparent that In the senate the mesage will receive slight consideration. The Hoiue may re view with a greater degree of solicit ation. Dispatches from New York show that Mr. Pulitzer answered the presi dent vigorously. The World's reply to Mr. Koosc velt's message was: "The World appreciates the Im portance and significance of Mr. Roosevelt'B statement when he declar ed to congress that the proprietor of the World 'should be proseruted for libel by tbe government authorities and that Mho attorney geneial has under consideration the form under wh Ich th o proceed Ings ago i ns t M r.

It would have been equally glad to print Mr. Robinson's denlnl had It succeed ed In obtaining one from him, as it frequently attempted. Tho World has no evldenco that he wns asso ciated with Mr. Cromwell and wo.uld accept his word to that effect, for Mr. Robinson is an estimablo gentle man of high character, whose repu tation for veracity is innnltely betler than Hint of his distinguished broth-er-ln-lnw.

"Congress may render such action posslhlu in the future, If It 1b foolish enough," he said. 'If you impair the proper author ity of tho commanding officer." he said, "you make It impossible for ef fective command. Such action would go far toward converting the soldiers from the nriny Into a mob.
