THE INITIATIVE
Representative Jones Frames
Bill to Adapt It to
Local Affairs.
WILL OFFER IT THIS WEEK
Similar Act of lflOS Will Be Re
pealed by Froposed Iaw and
Many Improvements
Are Suggested.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 20. (Specla.1.)
A question has tx-en raised as to the
power of cities to amend their charters
without a legislative enabling a-ct. and
there is no law to carry into effect trie
provision of section 1 of article 4 of
the constitution of Oregon, as to local,
special and municipal legislation.
In order to correct theee conditions,
Representative t.lnn E. Jones will intro
duce a bill in the I.Rlslature this week
that will enable the Initiative and refer
endum provisions of the constitution to be
carried out on local, special and munici
pal as well as general legislation. The law
proposed is to take the place of the bill
enacted four years ago and makes
chnnjares In that law.
The hill carries the emeritencj- clause,
and has 15 nectlonii. It creates a, statute
to provide the method of using the initia
tive and referendum and repeals the law
that wa enacted hy the legislature of
IflOS. which has been in uae for the past
four yearn, and during which time events
liave demonstrated that there is room ror
improvement.
Attorney-General Names Btlls.
Still fresh in the memory of the public
1 th Utter complaint that m registered
hy the Prohibitionists over the title to the
lo-.l notion amendment. which stated
that the amendment wan for the purpose
Of Jiving the anU-Prohibitionists and
Prohibitionists equal privileges. Similar
was the title of the act for the purchase
tu-s mount j-tooo ana Harlow toll road
hy the state. Mr. Jones' bill provides that
Instead of allowing those who file a pcti-
tlon to determine the ballot title them
selves. It Is made the duty of the Attorney-General
to write the ballot titles
for all measures. People who are dissat-
isfied may anneal to the Circuit. Court,
and its decision is final, as there is no
appeal allowed to the Supreme Oourt.
The Attorney-General is permitted tf use
H) words to state the object ot te
measure.
The new bill make, vers- llttTe change
In the form or petitions, out provides tor
proving signatures by affidavit, and the
man who circulates the petition must
swear to the genuineness of the voters'
names on every sheet. In the present
law the County Clerk compares the sia-
natures with the registration books and
certifies to those that he believes to be
correct. Clerks all over the state object
to this method because it is a burden to
them, and in other petitions provided for
hy law, the signatures are ioved by
affidavit.
i ne secretary or state is required to
bind and preserve in volumes a copy of
each petition with all the signatures that
are attached and to publish In the general
laws of the next legislative assembly
such measures as are approved by the
people.
The present law requiring the Governor
to proclaim the filing: of any petition is
abrogated All the measures that are to
be submitted at one election must be
bound in one pamphlet and the Secretary
Of State must mall a copy to every voter
whose address he has. The time of mail
ing is determined so that the Secretary of
State can Include a copy of the candi
dates and political parties' pamphlet pro
vided by Representative Huntley's corrupt
practice act that was introduced last
week, in case that law should be enacted.
Solves Perplexing Questions.
In the event of two or more conflicting
laws being- adopted by the people at the
same election it is provided that the one
that receives the greatest number of af
firmative votes shall be paramouat In all
particulars where there is conflict, and
the same provision Is made ah to con
flicting amendments to the constitution.
The new law is intended to furnish leg
islative construction and where reason
able legislative constructions are provid
ed, the courts usually follow them.
As to municipal legislation in cities and
town? which have not provided or do not
provide for the manner of exercising the
initiative and referendum powers In their
city affairs, the provisions of this act
will apply. No city ordinance shall take
effect until 20 days after its passage by
the Council and approval by the Mayor,
and all initiative petitions shall be filed
with the 1 T y Olerk not les than 90 days
before the election in which they are to
be voted on. The Clerk must Immediately
transmit them to the City Council and
that body must either ordain them Just
as they are offered or reject them within
30 days. If the Council rejects or takes
no action, tt may prepare a competing
measure within the 30 days and the Clerk
must then submit both measures to .the
people at the same time. If the Council
approves and ofdains the measure that is
proposed by initiative petition. It may re
fer it to the people for final approval or
rejection, and if It does not. the measure
must lay 30 days, subject to a referendum
petition against It. In the case of two or
more conflicting measures that may be
Hpproved by the people of a city at the
same time, no matter whether they are
proposed by the Council or by Initiative
petition, the measure that receives the
greatest number of affirmative votes la
paramount In all particulars as to where
there is conflict, even though It may not
nave me greatest majority.
Improves on Initiative.
Th.e purpose of this provision Is to al
i-jw -"u"';n propose a. ciinerent or
better measure than is ottered by initia
tive petition, and It is thought to be quite
an improvement over the original amend
ment to the constitution allowinsr the in
itiative for general laws, because as to
Rcneral laws and amendments to the rav
stltutlon the legislature has no oppor
tunity to offer h ri amendment or a dir.
ferent measure and. the people are obliged
to either approve or reject the measure
that Is proposed by the Initiative.
in the case of e mer gen c y mea aur ea
where It Is necersary that they should jro
into inuiieniaio errect to preserve tive pub-
UC pface or safety Of the city, they may
be passed by threft-fourths Vftt- of all
members elected to the Council, and If
approved by the Mayor they shall jto Into
immediate operation and are not subject
to the referendum.
Amendments to a city charter may be
provided either by Initiative petition or by
the Council, or the Council may appoint a
Commission to prepare charter amend
ments for submission to the people.

Rev. William Edgar Gell spoke last
night at the White Temple on "Facts,
Faith and Keeling" to an audience which
packed the great church to the doors.
The sliding doors were opened giving- the
church double the usual seating" capacity
but the people who came to hear the
great speaker ftltedi all the seats down
stairs and in the gallery, those who
came after 7:46 o'clock occupying an the
available standing room. The meetings
will continue for two weeks. A baptismal
service preceded the address. Xr. J.
Whltcomb Brougher officiating. Tn
making the announcements a few mo
ments later Dr. Brougher eaid he was
sorry for those who were compelled to
etand. but that while there was a law
against putting chairs in the aisles there
was none against sitting on the floor.
Many took advantage of this.
A special chorus-numbering 75 organised
for the evangelistic services thin week
and next, under the leadership of For-
fessor J. W. Belcher, rendered several
numbers. The music was a feature of
the programme last nlcht. Mine Kathleen

Kalma of Sinrpan came riding swiftly to
the doctor and said to him: "There a rob

must see you an oulcklv as horseflesh can
carry 118." The doctor leaped to his now,
and together they rode, harder and faster.
tin they came to a Httle hut. The doctor
had brought hie instruments with him. Go
ing into the hut he unrolled them and bunt
a are, in the broken fireplace. "They told
me. said the robber, holding out a sheep-
kln bundle, "thttt If I would lceep it warm
you- could put It on. "But Tt will be use-
leSS' Bald the doctor, when he had un
rolled the bundle, and saw that It Con
talned a band and arm

could give you a new band."
The doctor All vhat he couia for the
man. and later the robber often cfime to the
dweillnir of the missionary to talk with him.
The prod!Rl ran away from home and
went to living in a pigpen. Iater on he
found himself there. He v,ent home and
they put a ring on his hand. Great fool! If
he had gotten married he would have had a
rlns; on his hand long- before, and might
not have wandered off till he found the
pijtpen. But It was there that he found
himself face to face with the facts.
rr. Gell then -vividly portrayed the
death and resurrection of the Christ and
continued:
When I was In Jerusalem, J purchased
a crown of thorns In the market place, and
taking: out my pencil counted the icreat
lone; thorns on the Inside of the crown.
There were more than 50 which would
penetrate a human head. I believe these
facts about the -Christ Just as much as X
believe .that there are three stars In the
belt of Orion or that all the great suns and
planets of the universe are Irresistibly
drawn toward a something; far beyond the
constellation of Hercules. Falth Is founded
upon facts.
DoDger of African Forest.
X do not consider myself an excitable man;
1 f I had been such I would not have sur
vived the dangers of the African forest. I
would at one time have given the order to
Are upon those aborigines, which would have
meant certain death to all the party. After
ca-re; fully looking at the facts I have begun
to exercise faith. We should not yield to
feeling and excitability. It Is never pro
ductive of good.
At the close of the addreas an after
meeting: was held to which many stayed.
At 3 o'clock .this afternoon Dr. Gell
wlil hold an evangeHstic service at the
TPirst Christian Church, corner Columbia
and Park streets. The evening service at
7:45 0 clock will be held at the white
Temple. There will' be no evangelistic
meeting- on Tuesday night, as William
Jennings Bryan Is to speak.
Arrangements will be made for rr.
Gell to speak at the Armory Hall Thurs
day and Friday on his trip through the
pigmy forest of Dark Africa, to which
no admission will be charged.
Friday will be observed as a day of
prayer by the Protestant churches ot

ORIENTALS MORE DESIRABLE
Rev. C. A. Cook Says Italians Are
Bad CLass of Immigrants.
"The Japanese and Chinamen who are
coming to this country are infinitely bet
ter than the hordes of Italians who are
pouring Into our larger cities. The Jap-
anese boy comes here to better htmseir.
He Is neat, clean and intelligent, while
the Italians are without purpose and
bring ' with them their own evil prac
tices. Yet California is stirred up be
cause a few Japanese and some China
men are coming1 to that state. One Jap.
anese is worth 1O.O0O Italians of the kind
tnat are coming1 to the Bastern cities."

pointing" out the opportunity for evangel

the thousands of foreigners who are com

the Eastern cities, and the need for mis-
sionary work among them. Among the
foreigners he held that the Japanese and
CThinese were not tie most objectionable
cjass or immigrants.
Dr. Cook pointed to the reforms that
had been Inaugurated In China within
the past few months, end said that China

will be done, all the birds will remain on
exhibition till tomorrow night. So far,
the show has been a great success, finan
cially, and the gate, receipts will be 50
per cet larger than they were last year.
It is expected that the association will
make money out of the show and that
after all expenses are paid there will
be something left for the treasury.
There were several birds In the show
that attracted great attention because
of - their fine points and foremost among
these were the tumbler pigeons, exhibited
by J. P. Limerick.
In the way of prizes. H. C. Rinsrhouse.
of Gresham. was probably the most suc
cessful. Hia chicken exhibit was one of
the most complete in the show. He took
six cups. Frank Fenwlck made a great
showing with his coop of Buff Orphing
tons. These birds took every prize in
their class and stood high in points.
A bird that attracted unusual attention
was a Golden Duck "Winn?, exhibition
game hen. This fowl is also owned by
Mr. Fenwlck, and at the Madison Square
Garden Game Exhibit this year stood
first In her class. Had Fenwlck been a
member of the Eastern Association he
would have received a $150 cup, but his
neglect to become a member debarred him
from entry for the special prizes. At
the Buffalo exhibition in 1903 and at vari
ous other shows he has taken prizes for
his fine chickens.
Yesterday was a good day for the as-
sociation and a large number of people
passed through the gate. Among the ex
hibitors great praise was heard for the
Judge, and all seemed pleased with the
awards. Not a word of complaint has
been heard.

Who was it said: "It's the difference In

The author of the epigram, whoever he
R'as. would find splendid proof of its truth
were ne to visit the prisoners at the
Oounty Jail, for there is a difference of
opinion among the involuntary guests of
the Institution over the food that is sup
plied by Louis Eberllng, the County Jail
caterer, and Sheriff Stevens. A few Fed
eral prisoners who have a deep grievance
against Uncle Sam because they have
not been granted speedy trials, say the
fare Is none too good, while other Fed
eral prisoners who are fed by Sherlff
Stevens chef, declare their food is good
and express pity for the county prison
ers who have to eat meals that cost the
taxpayers 11 cents a day. Eberlins;. the
contractor, who agreed with the County
Commissioners to feed the jailr.lrd, for
11 cents a day each, says the food he
supplies Is the same that he gives pa
trons of his restaurant, and that It must

the meat, but I noticed he didn't swallow
- Then he dug down and said he was
looking: for a real rotten piece. Me found
it, but you bet he did not try to eat it.
I was hungry enough to have eaten a
horse, but I couldn't go that stew.
"Taln't nothing to And hair, dried
bread and paper In the potatoes," said
Dan Currier, another prisoner, "we
don't get any sugar in our coffee and
say, may be you think that coffee ain't
the limit. It ain't coffee it's baked beans.
I was hungry all right Saturday, but the
stink from that stew made me forget it.
I don't know what the stew was made
of. but they must have put everything
into it over there. Tripe ie one of their
favorite mixtures. Ain't anything un
usual to get tripe stew, or tripe cooked
with tomatoes, and if the trl-pe ain't good
they put lots of red pepper in it to kill
the taste. The stuff today wasn't bad.
The pork we had was good, but the Steak
was toUrTher than leather. Why. "Doc'
nailed his to the table with hls fork, and
then couldn't cut it."
Albert Oleman, the youthful slayer of
Mrs. Ayers. is fed by Sheriff Stevens,
being a Colunjbia County prisoner. He
in the same cell with Murderer Rlod
gett, and when asked how he was getting
along he said: "I'm getting fat." And
he looked It. Blodgett refused to be
drawn into the controversy, beyond say
ing that he had no complaint to make.
Ed Nelson, who is held for the murder
of Oscar Lindgren, woke out or a nap
to say: "The food's all right. 'Ain't got
no kick.'
Of the good food that Sheriff Stevens
serves, while joe nuason, counterreiter,
and Dan Hart, charged with a detestable
crime, say they "have a kick" against
the food.
Dr. McCarnack was In the jail yester
day, talking to the prisoners about the
food. To an Oregon tan reporter. Dr. Mc
Carnack said:
Bad, Says the Doctor,
"This is only the second time that I
have found the meals served to' the coun
ty prisoners bad. I tasted of some of the
meat that was in the stew, and it was
rotten. I bit into a piece of the meat,
and I tasted It for hours after. It spoiled
my appetite for dinner. I set In here at
mealtime as often as I can, and have
found no reason to complain.
"I have reported 'to the Commissioners
that in my opinion the meals were too
heavy for men kept in confinement. I
uon t Know wnat tne Saturday stew was
made Of, but I think U was corned beef.
It was very bad. no matter what It was."
"Or. McCarnack will make a report to
the CommlBBlonerB today.
Caterer ESaerllng at first declined to dls-
CU8S the stew. He said ; he would wait
for Dr. McCarnack's report, then would
make a statement. When told that a
prisoner .had found a finger stall In -the
stew, rJDeritng saia:
'That's nothing. I've found worse than

was fixed after it got to the jail. Th

Sheriff Stevens and Jailer Mitchell were
hoth surprised when told that Tfart and
Hudson had a kick ramlng about their
