tutlonnl convention. (Two
l,oiislntuu'H must now propose amend
ments.) In the replies (hurt fur received (lie
leust popular of the proposed amend
ment m are those kUIiir the people the
power to dim-haw ' public oltleer
by vote tit a special election, and an
other for allow Iiik the enactment of
Iws for the election of ollleers by
proportional or minority representa
tion. (f the 55 who have expressed
opinions on these two amendments,
35 Indorse the proposed discharge of
public officer, while only 32 approve
of legislation providing for proportion
al representation In the election of
officers.
The proposed amendment granting
to the people the right to call a spe
cial election as a means of dlscharg
Iiik a public official has raised the
greatest discussion and severe critic
clsm. Opposition to this proposed
amendment has been presented by
men of such prominence In the affairs
of the state that tho friends of the
amendment may decide to revise It,
to the end that a greater percentage
of the voters must sign a petition be
fore a special election can be called
for ousting a public official than Is
required In the amendment on It Is
now drafted. Thesu adverse opinions
are from men who In the main, ap
prove of the promised legislation, but
tlud It Impracticable to Indorse the
amendment as It Ih now presented.
In opposing the amendment provid
ing for a special election for ousting
a public official, J. C. Mot-eland writes
from Portland:
"I -am opMsed to the second pro
posed amendment as proposed. And
these are my reasons: No man Is
elected to public office who has not at
least 23 per cent of the voters against
him. I'nder this amendment (his 25
per cent could be calllug elections at
any time, and tho country thus be
kept In continual turmoil. If the per
cent were raised so that a majority
vote, or at least a vote equal to the
number the person received, were re
quired. It would be a good thing.
"Another reason Is that the matter
of this referendum Is now on trial. I
believe, If not abused, the power will
prove of great advantage, but If abus
ed it will bo abandoned. To give so
small a majority the power to call an
election whenever they chose would
cause such expense and turmoil that
It would Injure the cause. True the
good sense and fairness of the major
ity may ajways be relied on, but shall
we say that the small minority pro
posed shall be allowed to be outlntial
ly seeking to set aside the will of the
majority?"
In criticising the same amendment,
C. M. Idleman, of I'ortland, says:
"Number 2 has a tendency upon the
whole to foster dishonesty to promul
gate unrest and to prevent securing
the best talent for office. No khh1 re
sult Is achieved by continually hang
ing over the head of an officer the
sword of Damocles. No man was

REPLIES COMING IN
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
PROPOSED, ARE FAVORED.
Proposition of Calling Special Elec
tions to Oust Public Officials
Is Opposed.
Replies are being received by W.
S. U'Ren to the circular letter ad
dressed to more than 1000 prominent
Voters of the state, asking for opinion
on the proposed amendments to the
Oregon Constitution and as to the ad
visability of submitting them by ini
tiative petition to the voters next June.
The letter was signed by T. A. Mc-
Brlde, Henry E. McGinn, J. N. Teal,
C. R. R. Wood, Frank Williams. Chtis.

Caufield, C. Schuebel. C. H. Gram, B.
G. Leedy. George M. Orton. If. CI.
Kundret and W. S. U'Ren.
The proposed constitutional amend
ments are:
Giving the people power to call ref
erendum on single items of appropri
ation bill without affecting other
items and extending the initiative and
the referendum powers to cities and
towns and all electoral districts fts tn
local, special and municipal acts of
the Legislature.
Giving the people power to demand
resignation of a delinquent officer or
to remove him at a special election
(Imperative mandate.).
Giving municipalities power to make
and amend their own charters, Inde
pendently of the Legislature, subiect
only to the state constitution and the
general laws.
Allowing enactment of laws and or
dinances by proportional or minority
representation; 1. e., giving minority
parties representation in Legislatures
and City Councils in proportion to
their voting members.
Allowing the duties and the salary
of the State Printer to be regulated
by law.

Indorsement of this amendment,
however, Is had by n number of other
voters, principal among (hem being
W. C Bristol, of Port land. 'ho writes:
"Your No. 2 on page 3 of your fold
er Is substantially the same practice
as Is common with the British govern
ment of taking a vote of confidence, ns
to which no public-spirited man seek
ing office could have any reasonable
objection. Your Illustration In your
argument Is very apt. but you could
have as well applied It to the colonies
rather than to have routined It to the
House of Commons. was In Victoria
last vear when a vote of contldenco
was taken by the Hoard of Assembly
men. which is the same thing In that
country ns a governing City Council,
The object you seek can be enlarged
upon also from numerous Instance In
Europe."
K. Dominic. (1. S. II. of the Mount
Angel College, In a letter Indorsing
the proposed amendments, says:
"As a born Swiss 1 sympathize, the
more with all your suggestions be
cause almost nil the reforms which
you have Inaugurated already and
which you propose In your printed
statement, nro working admirably In
the land of my birth. And even If
some of the promised reforms should
not ultimately work well here, why
not test them nnd experiment with
them ns you so well say? I am In fav
or of all seven amendments, which
you suggest In your circular, and also
the nntl pass law, not because I mil
sure of the practicability of all of these
suggestions under our constitution,
but because they nre worthy of a fair
test.
"I feel particularly Interested In tho
ultimate victory of your suggestion In
favor of proportional representation.
I must csiieclnlly commend your ar
gument after every proposed amend
ment. They are vry concise nnd con
vincing" hi the 55 replies that have been re
ceived, representing nil polltlcnl par
ties and factions, there Is ciprejtsed
a practically unanimous sentiment fav
oring the proposed amendments giv
ing the people Initiative nnd referen
dum powers on nil local, special and
municipal laws, nnd single Items of
appropriation bills Fifty nre In f
vor of grunting to the people this
right.
Almost equally popular Is the pro
posed amendment for allowing the
State Printer's office, duties nnd snl
ary to be regulated or nlsdlshed by
law. A great majority of those re
plying favor the nholltlon of this of
fice nnd suggest thnt this work be
done by contract or under the direc
tion of n Ismrd consisting of the Gov
ernor. Secretary of Htnte and State
Treasurer. Ho pronounced Is the sen
timent favoring this proposed amend.
j merit, that some of those who orlgl
Inated the movement for thus ascer
taining public Sentiment on these
j quest Ions, feel Inclined to so amend
jit as to provide for the abolishment
i of the office of State Printer before
I submitting tho ipiestloii for further
j consideration.
J As was expected the sentiment thus
; far expressed Is almost unanimous for
the enactment of an anil pax law. Of
opinions on this subject, r,n favor
! anti-pass legislation. Regarding the
pass nuest Ion, J. a. Fulton, of Asto
ria, says:
"I favor making It compulsory on
the part of the transportation com
panies to give passes to all public of
tlclals while they are In office. This
will settle the pass question,"
Mr. Kulton also siiggi-Hts the need
of revising the law to the i ntent that
Hie right of suffrage he denied for
eigners until they have resided here
at least five years. He says:
