La Grande is now engaged in the pleasant game of "Hotel,
hot-el! Who's going: lo build the hotel?"
Not counting on more than three or four new hotels,
UiiB metropolis of Eastern Oregon looks forward to a build
ing program for 1027 easily in excess of a million dollars.
When Lit Grande. and Pendleton play basketball school
authorities should issue a warning to prospective spectators
with weak hearts or sensitive ears. At least the thrills and
noise of last night's game would argue for such a pro-caution.

The "Price of Rowing" Is Success
SAFEGUARDING THE INITIATIVE
.'."Representative Norvell of Umatilla county lias a bill
that if passed will virtually abolish use of the initiative and
referendum. His measure forbids the circulation of peti
tions and requires that if a voter wishes to sign a petition
he must go to the county clerk's office of his own volition and
do so. It will be unlawful for any one lo urge a voter to
do such a thing. ' If we abolish the initiative and referendum
we leave lawmaking exclusively to the legislature. Are the
legislators entitled lo that degree of confidence? Two years
ago both houses at Salem passed the Dennis resolution pro
viding that the inheritance tax be repealed and that there be
no income tax law in Oregon for 15 years. In theory the
legislature is an ideal lawmaking- body assembled to look af
fairs over and vote .upon subjects in accord with the merits
of the various proposals. In actual practice the legislature
is made up to considerable extent of inside lobbyists who are
there as agents, rather than as lawmakers. When they get
down to business they operate on a basis of trade and
dicker." rendleton East Oregonian.
; The foregoing comment on the Norvell bill was inspired,
no doubt, by a desire to protect the interests of the common
people of Oregon but in practice the restricted initiative and
referendum would guard against the pet measure of special
interests far more successfully than is possible under the
present law.
; Now it is possible for any individual, coipoiation, 'or
isolated group,'. possessing sufficient funds to hire expert
petition circulators, to put any kind of freak measure on
the election ballot. The last election was an example. The
bus and truck bill, by the expenditure of many dollars by
the bus anil truck interests, was referred to the people
through the efforts of paid signature grabbers. The tobacco
tax, passed by the legislature, was put on the ballot by
similar action of tobacco dealers. A second income tax was
initiated in the same way, to confuse the issue.
- The Norvell bill would not take the initiative and referen
dum from the people at large but would confine it to them.
Contrary to the E. O.'s statement, it would not be unlawful
for anyone to urge a voter lo sign a petition on file al the
county clerk's office. It would be unlawful, however, to re
ceive compensation for urging voters to sign. There is a vast
difference. A measure of general public interest would readily
enlist voluntary support people would gladly urge voters to
sign because of the merits of the issue. I'.ut paid petition
circulators would be eliminated.
To tpiote the bill: "No person, firm or corporation shall
pay or receive any compensation or oilier thing of value for
procuring signatures to any petition mentioned in Section
1 hereof, or for inducing, directing, or advising any person
to sugn such a petition." In other words, if you did not
receive compensation for so doing, you might induce, direct,
or advise voters to sign as much as you pleased. Political
money and its attendant evils would be thus eliminated from
the picture.
The Observer is Inclined to the view apparently opposed
to that of the Hast Oregonian that the legislature is en
titled to whatever degree of confidence the Norvell bill may
indicate. Its members are elected for the purpose of legis
lating. If we, the voters, are to do it all, why have a legis
lature? It makes mistakes, to lie sure, but we have yet to
see the day w hen the voting public can deny the same charge.
And the E. O. is somewhat misinformed on the Dennis resolu
tion. The legislature did not vote to abolish income and in
heritance taxes. What it did do was to vote to submit that
proposition to the people, a very different matter and hardly
a serious crime.
: There is no doubt about the way the legislature operates.
There is constant trading, compromising. Unfortunate or
otherwise, that is the way of life as well as of legislating.
Nothing would be accomplished without it. Jt is possible
that merit is sometimes sacrificed; but it is also true that
progress is thus served.
