IQ ON 0 u SAVINGS f SM'KTV tmi'Oftir VAUI.TH VOR HUNT 4i -J Fathers' Day Services Petition Solicitation To the Editor: It has been Suite generally agreed that un er the system of paid circula tion of initiative and referendum petitions two evils existthe submission of many measures for which there is no popular demand, and tho forging of signature. To remove these evils I shall propose an initiative measure prohibiting payment for circulation of petitions, but placing no restrictions upon the right of tho people to circulate petitions for any measure in which they feel an interest. One of the fundamental pur poses of the Oregon system is to increase the power ol men and decrease the power of money. I am surprised, there fore, to find that there are some sincere advocates of better gov ernment who oppose the plan of prohibiting paid circulation of Most ot those wno ed to ilvo or six promising re sponsibiiities, that the child's connecting link with the outHido world is the father, ami that it s their life more than precept that gives unction to the boy's fe. that the high tide 01 lite father's love emotions aro en graved on the boy's heart never to be forgotten. Ho sa d that the time to answer the child's question was when bo nskB it. Tho question may bo piercing to you, but it is vital to tho child. Many lathers Icpcnd too much on tho mother to direct tho child's lite, iworo children should have fathers like the little girl who said to her weeping mamma, "Don't cry because I won't take the doctors' medicine; when papa comes ionic he'll make mo take it." Io paid a tributo to the fathers of our country as roprosonted by G. A. K.s, referring to their achievements and honors fol- owed by years of sullering; quoting tho words of Gen. Pick ett when he reported to Gen. Lee, at Gettysburg: "There, General, lies my noble division, slaughtered." Said Lee, "You and your men havo this .day covered yourselves with glory." and Pickett replied. "Mot all tho glory in the world, General Lee. can atono for tho widows and orphans this day has made." Ho spoKo words 01 encourage ment to tho "City Dads." and exhorted tho people to be prompt in supporting every good move ment inaugurated by the City Council, inasmuch us the forces that aro interested in tearing down our homes aro over in sistent with their demands on tho law making body. He encouraged the Boy bcouts by citing the honors that are bestowed on the old soldiers as a result of thoir sacrifico for tho good of mankind. Ho exhorted daughters to companion their fathers more and fathers to in dulge their daughters more in these affectionate demonstrations. In closing he called attention to Him who was sacrificed for a lost world of mankind. Him that taught tho world to say, "Our Father," and emphasizing tho brotherhood among men.-Reporter. will not work satisfactorily in practice. I contend that if it is right in principle it will ultimate ly bo adopted and will work in practice. An initiative petition is sup posed to represent tho desire of eight per cent of tho voters. It does no such thing. It represents merely the expenditure of a cer tain amount of money. Possibly circulation of peti tions serves to notify about ten per cent of the voters that the measure is being proposed, but,, if that is the end to bo gained, it certainly could bo done moru effectively by expending the money in the printing and cir culation of copies of the bill which voters could read, rather than in securing signatures of voters to a petition which few tako the time to read. The adoption of my suggostud bill would mako the petition represent public opinion, for the number of volunteer circula tors would bo in proportion to tho extent of public dosiro for tho measure. I admit that so long as tho custom of paying circulntors continues, practically every measuro must be initiated in that manner, but I am confident the time will come when tho duties of citizenship in procur ing ant protecting desired laws under tho initiative and referen dum will bo performed without special compensation. Tho hiring of paid circulators for measures or candidates is no less representative than the hir ing of workers or vehicles on election day, which have both been prohibited by tho corrupt practices act. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. A Scenic Playground Co-incident with this return from the east, A. S. Benson an nounced that his lather, b. lien son. tho noted Oregon timber man. capitalist and good roads advocate, had bought about, zzu acres 01 land embracing tne famous Gordon palls, and would make of it a scenic playground. where the people could go in the summer months anu see tne beauties with which nature has endowed Oregon. The Gordon Falls which are in close proximity to Multnomah Falls, are considered by many to bo even finer than tho latter, because the approach is more beautiful and the falls them selves, even though not so great in volume, uro more picturesque. At a height of about 1300 feet there is un enormous punch bowl, whoro beavers havo boon um at work, while tho last falls arc about 650 feet in height. Mr. Benson's intention is to beautify the place somothing along the lines of the famous Busch gardens at Pasadena and to allow the public absolutely freo access at any; and all timos, though maintaining possession of tho property. In this connec tion tho ground in tho front of tho falls will admit of higher development than that at Multno mah Falls, where tho spray in tho winter would permoato tho walls of any structure that might be erected there.
