EDITOR .
Portland, Nov. 1., 1913.
To the Editor:-
While I have no desire to engage in
newspaper controversy, I feel that I
should reply to "an editorial in the last
issue of your paper, which a friend in
your city has sent me. The editorial
referred to opposes the submission and
adoption of my proposed bill to pro
hibit the paid circulation of petitions
under the Oregon popular government
system, and, briefly stated, your ob
jections are these:
1. That it will be impracticable to
secure signatures enough by voluntary
circulators.
' 2. That fraud has been claimed in
the case of only three per cent of the
initiative and referendum petitions fil
ed. 3. That "when payment to solicit
ors is abolished, the big business cor
porations will be the only people who
can use the initiative, referendum and
recall. They have the means. The little
man has not.
If I have not correctly summarized
your objections, you will correct me".
Let me consider the objections in re
verse order:
3. If you will read and print the
full text of my bill you will see that
its language is purposely drawn to re
move the advantage of wealth:
"From and after the passage of this
act it shall be unlawful for any person
to give, offer to give, promise to give
or cause to be given, directly or indi
rectly, any valuable consideration, em
ployment or appointment for the pur
pose of inducing any other person to
circulate or secure signatures to any
petition for the Initiative, Referendum
or Recall, or for placing the name of
any person upon any ballot or Jor the
nomination of any person for any of
fice provided for by the constitution
or the laws of the State of Oregon or
of any municipality therein. Any per
son convicted of the violation of any
of the provisions of this act shall be
punished by a fine of not less than
$100 nor more than $1,000, or by im
prisonment in the county jail not less
than one month nor more than one
year."
Under present conditions, men of
wealth can directly or indirectly give
consideration or employment to in
duce others to circulate petitions.
This the "little man" you refer to, can
not do. My bill will deprive wealth of
this advantage. It gives power to or
ganizations composed of large num
bers of people who believe in the -principles
the organization advocates.
2. Your statement that fraud has
been claimed in only three per cent
of the cases of resort to the initiative
and referendum avoids my main argu
ment in behalf of the bill and is pos
, sibly misleading. It is difficult to
prove fraud and while the paid circu
lators of a few petitions committed
fraud that was discovered, there may
have been other frauds that were not
discovered. Discontinuance of the pliid
circulation absolutely removes the
temptation to commit fraud.
My main argument, however, was
not on the ground of fraud, but rather
On the ground that petitions circulat
ed for pay do not accurately repre
sent public sentiment. The fact is, as
you must admit, that men now cir
culate petitions in favor of a measure
for pay and regardless of their own
opinions. Certainly a petition that does
represent the amount its propnents
are willing and able to spend is not a
very important feature of a truly
popular government system.
t 1. , In my original argumont, which
you apparency did not publish, I con-
ceded that sonic of the good measures
heretofore adopted would not huve
been submitted hut for paid circula
tion of petitions. My contention is
that since the system has become
firmly established and tlio people
have become familiar with its opera
tions in behalf of measures that are
meritorious and that are really need
ed. If my theory is correct, then we
should discontinue a practice that has
demonstrated so many evils. And I
am putting iny theory to the test of
practice. I shall not pay one cent for
the circulation of any petition for this
bill. If the volunteer circulators se
cure enough signatures for its sub
mission. I think you will agree that it
is a proper meusure upon wljich to
have a popular vote, especially since
you say that "no state wide measure
has ever gone on the ballot bv volun
tary circulation of petitions.'-' What
ever may be the fate of this particu
lar measure, I am certain of its ul
timate adoption and predict that in
future years men will look back with
amusement and wonder at the manner
in which signatures io petitions were
secured in llies,. days of political nncf
social progress.
Joiu'llinn i'.oui'ne Jr.
Mr. Bourne ravs his
deprives
wealth of the advantage to circulate
petitions. Let ua see.
To illustrate, let us suppose the
Southern Pacific was interested in
having a bill initiated or a bill ref
erended. The Big Chiefs have only
to pass the tip down the line and every
employee in Oregon will have a petiti
tion out and solicit signatures. This is
true of the big wholsale houses.
Everyone of their hundreds of sales
men will tip, off every one of their
thousands of customers and the most
of them will help to get signatures.
This is true of the express eompanys
and all big business concerns.
Have you workmen any such an
army to work for nothing?
Have you farmers any such back
ing? The result would be that only big
business could put the initiative, ref
erendum and recall measures up to
the people.
Mr. Bourne's answer to the Cour
ier's statement that but three per
cent of fraud has ever been claimed
on the hundred or more measures
that have been put up to the people
through petitions, is a very little an
swer from a very big ex-senator. It
is more than that, it is ridiculous.
He says "there may have been other
frauds that have not been discovered."
Sure 'nough. i
There may have been bank thefts
so skillfully covered up they have
not been discovered, but the supposi
tion would hardly justify the repeal
of the law against embezzlement.
There may be and . no doubt is,
much counterfeit money in circula
tion, so skillfully engraved that not
one in ten thousand can detect it, but
but this is hardly grounds for stop
ninir coinatre.
Men forgo checks. The remedy is
not to stop printing checks to remove
temptation, but to send them "over the
road.
Hut Mr. Bourne says his main argu
ment is on the ground that petitions
circulated for pay do not represent
nublic sentiment.
Just for argument, suppose they do
not.
What harm?
The PETITIONS do not make or
unmake laws or recall officials. The
petitions simply present the measure
to the people, and th&x pass on
them at the polls.
Over .one hundred measures have
so far been passed on, and I would
like to auk Jonathan Bourne if the
people haven't 'done a pretty good
job'.' We would like to ask him how
many ol ttiem he tmnKg would nave
ever reached a voting verdict if his
bill had been a law? .
I don't question the pblitics or,sen
timent of a circulator when he pre
sents a petition to me. I don't ask him
what wages - he is getting,
what church he belongs to or
wliether he smokes cigarettes.
Do you think, Mr. Bourne, that the
fact of the circulator being PAID
for his work makes a difference with
the QUALITY of the signatures?
Would YOU sign a petition any
sooner if the man wus doing the work
for nothing? Or would the petition be
be the best recommend I ,
Does it do any harm to let the
people of Oregon say yes or no on any
proposition? Are you atraiu to trust
them since the Ian or laiu i
Petitions do not necessarily have to
represent full public sentiment, any
more than a public political mass
meeting does, out is tnere any onier
method that will so educate the people
s the circulation of petitions, whether
paid for a five cents per, or secured
through deep and beautiful patriot
ism?
Discussion follows any petition,
Men, whether or not they sign them,
begin to look up the measures, talk
them over, and become informed. It
doesn't matter what proportion of
public sentiment the signatures repre
sent. There is an after ballot, whore
full public sentiment may be express
ed.
In 1010 Mr. Bourne only received
12.000 signatures to a petition to make
him a candidate for U. S. senator,
but ho received 25,000 votes. And the
most of those 12,000 signatures were
PAID 1' OH.
Perhaps Mr. Bourne did not think
the system was "as firmly establish
ed' then as now.
Mr. Bourne says he is certain of
the ultimate adoption of his bill. In
the p:ist he has been certain of other
things. The Courier is just as certain
the people of Oregon will bury it,
.should it ever reach them.
Mr. Bourne's bill would kill the sys
tem of popular rule in Oregon. No bill
has ever -been initiated by charity cir
dilution, and never will bo, except
throuirh biir business inlluence.
It is easy enough to talk about
volunteer state wide petitions, but it
won't work. Every man wants the
other fellow to be the volunteer. Men
will pay others to Work for them,
but won't do it themselves.
The Courier editor would not cir
culate a Detition throughout the com
ty neither would Jonathan Bourne
hut we would both give five or ten
dollars for the other fellow to do it
for us, and the signatures would be
just as good as if secured by sweet
charity work.
Bourne's proposed bill would kill the
Oregon system so far as the herd is
concerned, and big business wants it
killed.
The supreme court of Washington,
in two decisions, says the recall shall
stick.

OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY
STATEMENTS AND WHYS
(Enterprise, Ore., Chieftain)
Probably not a man in the state can
be found who thinks the present sys
tem of assessment for taxation is sat
is factory. The common remark is:
"Well, if So-and-So were taxed on all
he has, I would not object to be as
aPKseH for all I have: but until he and
every other man is, I don't think it
right for me to pay taxes on eveiy
thing." This merely illustrates the
widespread dissatisfaction with pres
ent custom. In this condition the
views of a large class of thinkers may
be recalled. They would have tne tax
levied entirely on "community value,
that ia values created, not by the toil
of the individual, but created by the
mmnn bihor of the community, in
Wallowa county the assessment in
dicate an increase in the assessment
of nersonal property. Macninery,
mprehandise. money, cattle and impro
vements are larger than ever before.
This means that the man who works
and adds to his equipment or stock in
trade or other products of labor is
nonnii'pd in his industry. It discour
ages such toil, punishes labor and
thrift, and puts a premium on letting
land idle. It makes speculation more
profitable than labor. Could anything
be more fundamentally wrong? Here
are two nieces of land. One is ownea
hv the occuDant who farms it tho
roughly, erects good buildings and and
puts on stock. The other is owned by
a speculator who sits tight and lets
his industrious neighbor make him
rich. Why should not the taxes on
these two pieces of ground both of
intrinsically equal value oe muenu
cl? Whv should tho one man be
raised year after year, while the other
is stationary? wny snouia noi, uie
one be permitted to reap the full fruits
of his toil, instead of being compelled
to give part of it over to his slothful
neighbor.
DON'T WORRY
The constitution of the United
States says "The right of petition
shall NOT be DENIED or IMPAIR
ED.
. Webster savs imnair means "to di
minish in ouantitv. value or excel
lence; cause to become less or worse,"
etc.
In view of the above, how is Jona
than Bourne going to make a law
stick that makes illegal a petition cir
culated by a man on pay, and makes
local one circulated by a man who
does it for nothing?
Rut we should not worry.
The Courier knows the people of
Orecon too well to believe they will
ever let go of any of the power they
have gained..
The constitutionality of such a law
won t be tested in Oregon.
A GOLD BRICK ' ;
It has been claimed from a dozen
different sources and for some months
that the $18,000,000 voted by the
people of California for the purpose
of building a state highway is' being
exnended in a manner to the detriment
of the people ot tne state, dui soieiy
for the benetit ot tne political enque
hnhind it. The roads are said to be in
most places but 16 feet wide and of
a character of construction which
will not stand tho strain any time at
all until they will have to be built all
over again. If this is true, as it ap
pears on the surface, it should and
will pive a lot of bull moose bones in
this state considerable of a shaking
up when an accounting is called. Eigh
teen million dollars is an awful pile
of money and should build hundreds
of miles of good roads. Richmond
(Cal.) Herald.
WHY NOT?
The state of Wisconsin is now sell-
incr life insurance at actual cost, and
it is said the rates are being cut about
half from the old line companies.
Have vou anv conception ot what
half price insurance would mean to
this country if every state followed
Wisconsin jind 'insured the people at
cost?
There are nolicies aeereiratintr
twenty-eight and a quarter BILLION
dollars in this country today.
That will give you a little compre
hension.
If the different states adopted this
method, there would go your old line
and nil other line companies.
And whv not? The people would
have the savings rather than the Mc-
Calls, Depews and that bunch.
And If such a snving on lite insur
ance is a blessing for the people, why
not fire insurance, accident insurance
and so on?
Anv irood reason whv the state or
country should not operate these lines
for the benetit ot the many.' Jt so,
speak up.
PERHAPS
Perhaps the returns fiVm the Hood
River county court recall election will
open the eyes of the managing editor
of the Oit'gonian to the colored news
dispatches it has been printing from
that county.
Prom the Orcgonian ther ewas no
thing to the recall, there (was no
sentiment behind it and it led one to
believe that simply a handful of kick
ers were trying to start something.
And further the Orcgonian gave edi
torial defense to the county court.
And Tuesday the voters pulled them
all down by good majorities.
