Of all the measures before the peo

more absolutely vicious and unjust
than No. 348.9 on the official ballot
providing for the DIVISION OF
COUNTIES.
It is bad, unfair and unjust in many
ways, but one provision alone is suf.
ficient to condemn it without any fur
ther consideration. It provides that

Says Washington's Pitcher Is the
Greatest Game Has Ever Known.
Larry Lajoie, Cleveland's great, was
asked the other day what he thought
about Joe Wood and Walter Johnson
as pitchers, and the heavy hitter of the
Cleveland club lost no time in telling
the following:
. "Walter Johnson is far and away a
better pitcher than Joe Wood," said
Larry Lajoie, than whom there could
scarcely be a better judge of pitching
- "Wood has been pitching way be
yond his ability this season simply be
cause he has had a great team work
ing with him. There uever was and 1
doubt if there ever will be as great a
pitcher as Johnson. He .simply has so
much stuff and speed that if he turned
loose his hardest throw with his stuff
on it no catcher could get down in time
to receive the ball.
"Every ball he throws has stuff on it
Some of the hops his fast ones take are
bigger curves than the biggest the aver
age pitcher has. I've seen him throw
balls up to the plate that didn't look
larger than a pinhead. Wood is a good
pitcher, all right but he is simply not
In Johnson's class, nor Is anybody else
"Wood broke into the' league from
Kansas City against us In J 908 in Bos
ton. There was a little house out in
center field, and we had about seven
men who were hitting around .3(H)
"Wow! What a grand reception he
got! First we'd knock a brick out of
the chimney, then a few shingles off
the roof, then we'd shatter a window
pane. We had the little house ready
for the wrecking crew to cart away
when we got through. .
"Nobody ever did anything like that
to Johnson and never will. WheD a
I fellow is coaching off first when he's
! pitching it's next to impossible to see
his fast one. If he didn't have good
control he would kill so many batters
he would be barred from the league
He'd wreck every club he pitched
against. There's next to no chance to
duck or back away from his balls.
"He hit this kid Martin of the High
landers on the head last spring with
one of his curves or slow balls, and
Martin was out for weeks
"Almost any time you get a hit off
: Johnson dou't figure that you're smart
' Just figure it that you're lucky lucky
I that you happen to make, that blind
swing in the spot where the ball came,
j "If all the pitchers in the league
t were like Johnson the pitcher's box
would have to be placed at second
base, so one club could get a, run with
out the game going into extra innings "
The Ladies Aid Society of the Pres.
byterian church met at the church
parlors Wednesday afternoon, when
arrangements torf an experience so

MAJORITY RULE AMENDMENT.
Among the thirty-eight measures,
which will appear on the official bal
- lot to be voted on by the electorate
of Oregon at the coming election on
November 5th, will be the Majority.
Rule Amendment. This is an amend,
ment to the Constitution of the State
of Oregon so as to require a majority
of all electors voting at any election
to adopt constitutional amendment
and pass initiative measures.
This measure is proposed for the
express purpose of preserving the Ini.
tiative Law for the people of Oregon
by preventing its over-use by it
friends, and by preventing its abuse
and possibly its repeal by its ene"mies.
'Its scarcely admits of argument that
the Initiative Law as originally in.
tended by its sponsors, is a most
worthy measure. But we find it today
"working overtime" in Oregon. We
find it being grossly abused and per.
verted 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 necessary legis
lation after the same had been neg
lected or refused by the State Legis.
lature. Governor Woodrow Wilson
says: It is to be regarded as "a gun
behind the door" to be used only
when the peoples' representatives fail
to represent them.
After its eight years of use and
abuse we find that it is fast pushing
the Legislature into a subordinate and
secondary place. Begining with a
few measures and a comparatively
small official pamphlet, it has grown
until today there are 38 measures to
be voted upon, and an official pamph
let containing over 250 pages, for the
voters of Oregon to grope through in
order to arrive at anything like an in
telligent conclusion in regard to the
proposed measures.
What percentage of the voters wTi
take the trouble to give these 38
measures the requisite time and at
tention in order to vote intelligently
thereon? And yet it is the bounden du
ty of every votey to do so, because in
this conglomerate mass there may be
important measures affecting, vitally
all of the people of thestate. A large
majority of the 38 measures are
ordinary matters of legislation which
should have gone to the ' Legislature
where members elected by all of the
people are paid for the purpose of
passing upon the merits or demerits
of such measures, and who are at
least supposed to be competent to rea.
der an intelligent decision thereon.
And yet, we cannot expect any change
in the number of measures on the bal
lot so long as we have an unbridled
and unprotected initiative law that
allows every paid propagandist, every
faddist and fanatic who may be able
to raise the price with which to hire
an army of professional, petition cir
culators to go forth and solicit signa.
tures to a petition at so much per
name.
What is there to prevent epecial
interests from initiating measures
containing jokers which if let pass,
may work untold injustice to the peo.
pie of Oregon? Will the electorate
of Oregon take the time and trouble
to study this official pamphlet suffi
ciently to select the good measures
from the vicious ones the wheat
from the chaff, so to speak, and pass
favorably on the good ones and reject
the bad ones? We say no, and to
substantiate our claim we need only
call attention to the fact that you
may go forth today less than a,
month before election and consult 10
business and professional men whose
business and profesional 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 contradic
tion, that at least seven out of the
ten will admit they have not read the
pamphlet at all, and if so, have only
given it a superficial glance. If such
he the case with the man who is sup
posed to give these matters close at
tention, what can be expected of the
busy mechanic and laboring man
whose attention is centered in other
directions and whose environment is
all along other nnes?
The Jemedy SLCfiested at th- pres.
ent moment l)f sme of the r.io.t
prominent newspapers of the state is
"Vote 'No' on all measures unless you
are sure." Not having stuuie-.l the
merits of the 38 measures, how can
the voter be sure? If he votes "No'
on all or most all 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 demand by the
people? Are they to meet the same
fate as the dozens of ordinary meas
ures which should have gone to the
Legi lature in the first place, or the
vicious, or fanatic measures which
should be turned down with a ven
geance? If we are to preserve the initiative
law for the people of Oregon, both
present and future, we must protect
it by surrounding it with a safeguard
which will prevent its misuse and
abute by those who would use it to
further selfish interests to the detri
ment of the greater, number of the
people of the state.
The Majority Rule amendment will
do this by driving all ordinary meas
ures of legislation into the Legisla
ture where they belong, and by driv
ing the selfish and pernicious meas
ures 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 to all that a measure
in order to stand a chance of passing
must have real merit and that there
must be an actual demand for the
same, in which case there will be no
difficulty at all in getting a majority
to vote in favor of it.
Take the time and pains to look into
the Majority Rule amendment and .if
you do, you will vote for it and pre
serve the initiative law for the people
of Oregon.
