Editor Times: At this time when there are peti tions in circulation to invoke the referendum, to' defeat the general appropriation bill passed in the last legislature, it certainly behooves the voter of the ttate of Oregon to stop and consider. We shall not attempt to excuse the members of the legislature, but we cope to nx at least a pari 01 me responsibility where it rightly be longs. As the Times euggested some time ago, the usefulness of this great power of the people de pends largely (upon tee intelligence with which it Is exercised by the voters of the state. , What is this monster which the tix pavers of the ttate are so anx ious to knock on the head with their great constitutional club? Is it not a grand aggregate of what we demanded of our representatives and senators when we sent them to the legislature? What losality or county is it that does not only ex pect but frequently demands of their representatives that they get their hand as deep into the public crib as possible? And if they fail to do so they thus dig their politic al grave. . Of course the part of the great bill which we consider "graft" is what the other fellow gets not what we get for our share. But what do we hope to gain by invoking the referendum? All the institutions provided for, are in accord with the law and their expenses must be paid. If we kill the present bill we will have to take - the dose in double quantity later on. The proper course is to take the Orego nian's advice and initiate at least two laws first to eliminate the nor mal school proposition, and second, to adopt a measure providing for the governor to veto individual items of the . general appropriation bill. We blame the legislature be cause they do. not pass these law?, but they cannot do this and at the fame time secure the part of the "grait" which ; their constituents have demanded that they secure. Polk county would bs willing for all the normal schools to be cut out but one, provided hers should be the one, so with other counties where normals are located. -Lane and Beaton are not in position to have their representatives vote for the-elimination of normal schools. So let us not blame our men for log rolling as long as we demand, what they can secure in no oth-r way. But above all let the people, the supreme power in our great at at, exercise good, sound sense ' when they turn to the ballot, to remedy defects for which they ar largely responsible. And whi'n we ?ry t' naeft laws by the initiatiive let us also use judgment as Jaws passed by thn people must stand the fire : of the vourts, or we will not be rs-gar;-d as any better law makers this, the average body of legislator-. For instance, there is a, pro posed law to tax railroad lands for 30 ; cars back. This measure was drn v. a up by leading lawyers and ha- i.o doubt been signed by dozens of c- cn pe tent attorneys, yet the bill, if p.ssed, would not stand in the cou ts long enough to pav for writ ing it. So let us take heed to what we do. . John Henry. A Runaway Bicycle. 1 Terminated with an ngly cut on the leg of J. B Orner, Franklin Grove, 111.
