LEGISLATION IT THE PEOPLE.
The L?gislntuie at its l"t wssion
passed what is known as an "omnibus"
appropriation bill. It includes m'!"'"
nriation for all o( the normal eoliools.
Govern .r Chamlwrbiin notified the mem
ber of the liislntnro that if they at
tached t ie emerpency clause to the bill
lie would veto it. Tliev omitted the
emergency clause and Gov. Chamber
lain's Iriends luinudiately proceeded to
invoke the referendum upon the bill,
the Governor' private secretary taking
nn active part in wearing the necessary
litt of petitioners and paving at least a
portion of the bill for securing names.
The principal objection to the bill was
the appropriation for the Normal schools.
It was pointed out that the sensible way
was to permit the bill to become a law
and invoke the initiative agaiust the un
desirable schools. But this would not
have made any capital for Mr. Chamber
lain, i the referendum was invoked
greatly to the profit of the bankers and
the State Treasurer. To paraphrase one
of Governor Chamberlain's blurs at hie
opponent. "This alone fhould have
raised sufficient revenue to have paid the
expense of the democratic campaign."
Now, what was the result T The people,
being fully informed, passed the genral
appropriation bill jnst as it came from
the Legislature. It has furnished Dem
ocratic capital, cost the state an im
mense amount of money and contri
buted to the wealth of the bankers,
pntasnuj sum in the pocket of the
State Treasurer, and now the dear peo
ple, by their votes, say that it is all
right and that Governor Chamberlain
would have doue wrong to veto it. Tlib
class of reform comes high, but the peo
pie seem to be determined to have it. It
is possible, when they realize the cost,
that they will make up their minds that
there should be some limitation to the
referendum. Its scope is too wide and it
is too easily invoked. It could be in
voked by any railroad corporation to de
fer the operation of a rate bill or any
other measure the people desired.
The initiative also needs fiiing. Tiie
Earlow road bill wonld have became a
law had it not been for the exposure of
its rottenness made by the press ; auJ
the same is true of the liquor men's pro
posed amendment to the present local
option law. The titles to these mea
sures were deceptive, and not one voter
out of ten had any clear idea what he
was voting upon. The same is true of
the corporation tax laws. If they had
been in effect measures confiscating the
property of the corporations it is alto
gether possible they would have passed.
We may prate all we like about the in
telligence of the people, but it is impos
sible for the masses who have to work
for their daily bread to give to tax bills
the consideration necessary for intelli
gent' voting. The people vote right
when they understand a question, but
all history ha demonstrated that it
takes a great deal of time for them to
arrive at au intelligent undersanding.
For this'reason the power to enact leg
islation has been delegated to elective
bodies, limited by constitutions enacted
by popular vote, and the acts of the
Legislature should not be lightly set
aside.

TAX-FREE DENATURED ALCOHOL.
The present Congress is entitled to the
thanks of the people for enacting a law
placing denatured alcohol upon the free
list. This substinci is manufactured

many small manufacturers. The report
of the committee on ways and means
gives the following facts relative to this
useful substance;
The bulk of free denatured alcohol in
Germany is used for the purpose of light,
fuel and heat. A lamp is now made
with a Welsbach mantla which produces
a very strong, steady, and high grade
light by the use of alcohol. Kxperi
ments have been made testing this lamp
with the most improved pattern kerosene-
lamps with round wicks and of equal
candlepower; it was found that a gallon
of alcohol would keep the alcohol lamp
burning twice as many I ours as would a
gallon of kerosene burning in the most
approved pattern cf kerosene lamp
which is in general use. Iu other words',
1 gallon ol alcohol is eiul to 2 gllol"
of kerosene for lighting purposes. Hence
it follows if the price of alcohol methylat
ed is less than double the price of kero
sene, its use, especially on the farms and
in the villages of the country, would be
come enormous.
During the last few months experi
ments have been uut.le in adapting gaso
line power engines to the us..- oi alcohol.
This has been successfully done in Ger
many for several years, though there
they geneially mix 25 per cent of gaso
line with the alcohol to obtain a more
readv ignition of the fluid, which if
forced iiuo the cylinder of the engine in
ihe form of vapor. Experiments in tliit
country have devebed the fact thai
alcohol can be used just as readily as
this mixtuie with gasoline or the gaso
line itself, and the operation of the en
gine with its use is perfect. The nse ol
small motor engines running with gaso
line has become very large. Iu theesti
unte belore the committee, it would ap
pear that 300,000 of these engines arr
now in ne and that the annual output
is more than a hundred thousand.
These engines are especially adapted to
farm use fot pumping water, cutting
feed, tilling silos, thieshing grain, and
the multiplied uses to which a station
ery power on a farm is adapted. The
principal objection to gasoline, asile
from its cost, is ihe danger to the farm
buildings from lire. A gasoline fireean
not be quenched with water. Ou the
other hand, water seems to scatter the
gasoline and increases the danger. But
an alcohol tire is easily put out by the
use of water, l-urge numbers of these
motors are also used iu automobiles,
the number oi which is increasing with
wonderful rapidity, and for motors in
small boats.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
The whole strength of the liquor in
terest in Oregon was thrown to Govern
or Chamberlain. In the First District
for some reason or no reason it was
thrown against llawley for Congress.
The habit the liquor trade has ot med
dling with strife not belonging to it is
the source of most of the difficulties it
encounters. Oregonian.
Kot only was this true of the Govern
or, Lnt the whiskey men dictated many
of the nominations for representative
They were, however, unable to control
the mass of the voter?, and lost their
great fight for the whiskey amendment
to the present locil option law. The
people are awaking to the fact that the
liquor interests need constant curbing,
and, if necessary to teach them the les
son, prohibition will become nniveis.il
ton counties. In M-utnomah county
Assessor Siglin will leave the Hiiu.iv a
they aro at A,000 per mile. It will be
remembered that the assessor of Coin n
Ida Conntv fixed the valuation of the
Northern IVusiUcin this county at 1S,000
per mile, and that the county b.ur,l m
equalixation reduced this to 12,tXH,
thereby losing to this county $U,000 in
taxes for one year. No doubt this eon
tributed to Mr. Henderson ' defeat for
re-election, neither do we have any
doubt that both M" Henderson and
Judge llattau acted honestly and in ac
cordance with ll.eir ideas ot right; out
we believed then and lielieve now that
they wer wrong, even if it were true
that the railroad assessment was greater
in proportion than that of other property,
because railroads should be assessed
uniformly throughout theSUte, in order
that they may not be able to play ouc
countv against the other, a is their
practice w herever thev can do so.
But the t!,000 is gone, and there is no
way to get it back. The thing to con
sider now is whether thj incoming clerk
will stand with the Republican assessor
in fixiug the valuation of the Northern
Pactfc and Astoria roads at something
near a right figure. We believe he will
and that the people ofthia county w'll
have reason to congratulate themselves
that they have a republican county
board of equalisation.

The singular fact that thousands of
children of school nge have residences
on coal barges hi the East and North
rivers, has been brought to theatteniion
of the New York Board of Edui-ation.
By an investigation of the facts it is
learned that from 2,000 to 4,000 children
of school age have resilience on the coal
barges alone, and simply from the tran
sitory condition of their residence have
not had the least opportunity to acquire
even the rudiments of an education.
