by President Taft to conres, drawn any
eenclueloni that would "be valuable In
advlalng the congress and the people
X the chances that ought to be made to
make more equitable

The board did not at
tempt to draw conclu

that responsibility by arguing that such

In the knowledge tbat the creation of the

That such faota as the tariff board has
reported sustain the charge, aa to both
the wool and the cottoa

outrageously aa a conse
quence of excessive du

have not gone Into the

MAJORITY RULE AMENDMENT.
Among the thirty-enght meas
ures, which will appear on the of
ficial ballot to be voted on by the
electorate of Oregon at the com
ing election on November 5th,
will be the Majority Rule Amend
ment. This is an amendment to
the Constitution of the state of
Oregon so as to require a major
ity of all electors voting at any
election to adopt constitutional
amendment and pass initiative
measures.
This measure is proposed for
the express purpose of preserv.
ing the Initiative Law for the
people of Oregon by preventing
its over use by its friends, and by
preventing its aDuse ana possic
Iy its repeal by its enemies.
It scarcely admits of argument
tnat tne initiative Law as origin
ally intended by its sponsors, is
a most worthy measure. But we
find it today working overtime"
in Oregon. We find it being
grossly abused and perverted
turned from the purpose for
which it was originally intended,
namely to be a powerful weapon
in the hands of the people with
which to get important and nec
essary legislation after the same
had been neglected or refused by
the State Legislature. Governor
Woodrow Wilson says: It is to be
regarded as a "gun behind tho
door" to be used only when the
people's representatives fail to
represent them.
After its eight years of use and
abuse we find that it is fast push
ing the legislature into a subor
dinate and secondary place. Be
ginning with a few measures and
a comparatively small official
pamphlet, it has grown until to
day there are 38 measures to be
voted upon, and an official pam
phlet, containing over 250 pages
for the voters of Oregon to grope
through in order to arrive at any
thing like an intelligent conclu
sion in regard to the proposed
measures. s
What percentage of the voters
will take the trouble to give these
38 measures the requisite time
and attention in order to vote in
telligently thereon? And yet it is
the bounden duty of every voter
to do so, because m tnis conglom
erate mass there may be import
ant measures measures affecting
vitally all of the people of the
state. A large majority of these
38 measures are ordinary mat
ters of legislation which should
have gone to the legislature where
members elected by all of the peo
ple are paid for the purpose of
passing upon tne merits or de
merits of such measures, and who
are at least supposed to be com
petent to render an intelligent de
cision thereon. And yet we can
not expect any change in the num
ber of measures on the ballot so
long as we have an unbridled and
unprotected initiative law that al
lows every paid propagandist, ev.
ery faddist and fanatic who may
be able to raise the price with
which to hire an army of profes
sional petition circulators to go
forth and solicit signatures to a
petition at so much per name.
What is there to prevent spec
ial interests from initialing meas.
ures containing jokers, which if
let pass, may work untold injus
tice to the people of Oregon? Will
the electorate of Oregon take the
lime and trouble to study this of
ficial pamphlet sufficiently to se
lect the good measures from the
vicious ones the wheat from the
chaff, to to speak and pass fav
orably on the good ones and re
ject the bad ones? We say no,
and to substitute our claim we
need only to call attention to the
fact that you may go forth today,
less than a month before election,
and consult 10 business and pro
fessional mon whose business and
professional training has taught
them to look, carefully into im
portant matters before rendering
a decision thereon, and ask them
if they have looked carefully into
the 38 measures proposed, and if
they have read the 250 pages of
the official pamphlet. We make
the statement without fear of
successful contradiction, that at
least seven out of the ten will ad
mit they have not read the pam
phlet at all, and if so have only
given it a superficial glance. If
such be the case with the man
who is supposed to give these
matters close attention, what can
be expected of the busy mechanio
and laboring man whose atten
tion is centered in other direct
tions and whose environment is
all along other lines?
The remedy suggested at the
present moment by some of the
most prominent newspapers of
the state is "Vote No on all meas
ures unless you are sure."- Not
having studied the merits of the
38 measures, how can the voter
be sure? If he votes "no" on all
or most of the measures and all
are turned down, how about the
one, two, or perhaps three or four
meritorious measures for which
there is a genuine need or de
mand by the people? Are they to
meet the same fate as the dozens
of ordinary measures which
should have gone to the legisla
ture in the first place, or the vic
ious or fanatic measures which
should be turned down with a
vengence?
If we are to preserve the initia
tive law for the people of Oresron
both present and future, we must
protect it by surrounding it with a
safeguard which will prevent its
misuse and abuse bv those who
would use it to further selfish in
terests to the determent of the
great number of tho people of
the state,
This Majority Rule amendment
will do this by driving all ordin
ary measures of legislation into
tne legislature wnere they Belong,
and by driving the selfish or per
nitious measures into oblivion,
where they also belong.
The majority Rule amendment
if passed will reduce the number
of measures on the ballot to a
sane basis by giving notice t oall
that a measure to stand a chance
of passing must have real merit
and there must be an actual de
mand for the same, in which case
there will be no difficulty at all in
getting a majority to votee in fa
vor of it.
Take the time and pains to
look into the Majority Rule ami
endment and if you do, you will
vote for it and preserve the init
iative law for the people of Oregon.
