"But it brought you through, all right, to the end ot your journey." quickly re turned the Major. By this time the members of the Senate were marching into the House chamber. After them the officials of the Governor's office, headed by Governor Chamberlain and Mr. Bryan, arm In arm. joined the procession and squeezed tholr way through the packed humanity In. the rotunda and outside the bar of the House.

The whole troupe of followers Governor Chamberlain, other state officers Chair man Sweek, the two Millers, "Bob" and "Milt," and as many as could find room took seats on the platform as especial objects of honor. . Mr. Bryan's speech In part follows; Democratic Leader's Speech. I rsf.rrd last nicht to the election of ssn arora oy the direct vote of the people. "Why hnvethey adopted thin reform: H s bcaiM the Senators. WP now rict them do nr)t always represent the reopTe; it is because th. frreat -corporate Interest have filled tin I'nlted states senate with their attornevs and thHr hired men, that the people have" Clam- fired for a change that puts the election of Senators Into the hand of the whole people. t desire Bffatn to conirratulate tlio people or this state upon the advanced position nhkh they have taken upon this subject You Wlbmltted this (UfStlon Of renatfirlal election to your people: the people voted on It. and as T understand it. when the Ieflflature met he Democrats, as well aa the Uepublicans felt themselves bound by the vote of the P'ople, and cast thrir votf for the men who had been selected by the people for those po sition. I want to congratulate you for this step; I want to thank the members of my party for voting for Republicans, when the tfOrl Ht ltrgo had declared that Republicans were their choice for those positions. I wish we had this in every state. Another evidence of the growth In this di rection Is found in the adoption ot the initia tive and referendum. And why are these thtnrs developing? Because they give the people a chance to express; themselves. I be lieve there Is more virtue In the people than finds xpression In their representatives. I know I fill not Offend the representatives when I say I regard them not aa an unalloyed eood. h"t as a necessary evil. It Is no reflection upon the representative. Tf the people could set directly on every question.- it would be better than having representative!: but be cause they cannot art directly, been use of their number, we have representatives. Where Weakness Ues. Tot, th weakness of our government Is not in the people, but In the representatives of the people. Look back at all the dl.nrraera and scandals and shames in public life and you will find that they are In the representa tives, as a rule. It is because the representative does not represent. It Is because the represent ative betrays his constituents and uses the power for his own private (tain, that we have hd graft and corruption in our government The object of the Initiative and referendum Is to brlnr the Irovemment nearer to the people. If the lesrlelattve body refuses to do what the people want done, thev have It In their power. through the Initiative, to com pel the doln of what they want done: and if the legislative body does something the people do not want, they can put a v.-to on what the leitlslature does, and when you put in their hands thin power, you put a restraint upon the Legislature, which will be seldom used. for. when they know if they go astray the people can correct them. they will not be so apt to so astray. I was in Switzerland, where this system Of Initiative and referendum haa been In m for years; they have It in the cantons and the whole country. They have tha sovernment restlnsr so securely on the will of the people. while they have threo distinct natlonali- tie-, npf.it thrre unguals In the manage ment of the fovernment, and record thMr proeeedllifrs In thre ton truer.

I bellpve all franchises should be for short terms and not for long- ones, for you cannot peer Into the future and decide how muoh a franehl-ee will be worth 25 years or OO years hence. The shorter the terra the better. I have coma to another conclusion: that there fhoutd be a maximum dividend also. "Yu call that socialism ? Let me remind you that the .Parliament of Ens-land. when it chartera a water company or gives a company a franchise, puts a maximum dividend and does not allow the corporation to live more than the maximum. This let none in bniina, and I am in favor of borrowing from an country what is of benent or improvement to Us: but we have already used this In this country.

LEGISLATION HELD BACK Measures So Far Introduced Do Not Affect Packen FlRrit will Open After Conference With the Washlngrton Solons. SAH,EM. Or., Jan. 24.- Special.) Neaiiy a score of bills have been Introduced in DOUl houses, but Only one of them touches troublesome salmon Questions on the Co lumbia Stiver, aa to open and cloned sea sons, abolition of wheels or restriction of any Rina of gear. Dills thus far are auite mild as to salmon and the Lower Colum bia interests ar holding- back th bills they want passed. They are represented m the capitoi fy li, M. Loretson, secre- tary of the fishermen's Union of As toria, and Ola J. Settem, of the same orKnisatton. The troublesome matters Till not 0. heard from until after th. conference between the committees from the Oregon and Washington Ijesislatures. On the Oregon committee are Senator Hedges I Clackamas and Senator Soholfield of Clat- aop and Repreaentatives Knowles of Wmco. Farr.ll rt Hultnonuili and McCu or ciatsop. This committee Is charged also with the duty of Investigating pilot- age at the mouth of the Columbia River. One bill to change the seasons in the Columbia rms been presented by Repre- sentative Farrell of Multnomah, provid- lnjr for a closed Sunday between May 20 and A ugust SO: a. closed season between August 20 and October 1, and a closed season between February 15 and May 20. This bill represents the up-river fishery demands, as ag&lmtt tnose of Astoria and the down-river fisheries. It shortens the August open season from August 25 to August 2ft and lengthens the September closed- season from September 10 to Oc tober l. The most important feature, however, is the closed Sunday. The bill lengthens the early .Spring close season so as to last from February 15 to May 20. These extensions of closed season doubt less will meet opposition from the down river IntereBts, for it shortens the closed season In ways that they have never been willing to. accept. That the open season will be shortened after conference with the Washington lawmakers seems likely, but to what ex tent can not be foretold. It Is not un likely that the closed Sunday wil be en acted, as recommended by Senator Fulton. These bills have been referred to the fishery committees in each house. Tt is understood that no bills pertaining: to joint jurisdiction of Oresron and Wash tnfeton in the Columbia BLiver will be in troduced until after the conference, which may be held one week from next Friday or Saturday ir tho Washington Legis lature shall asrree to this date, as already iroDosed br letter bv the Orearon ioint committee. Bills have been introduced In each house for a license for anglers, like that for hunters, one of them by Representative Freeman of Multnomah OI. B. 190) the other by Senator Smith of Umatilla (S.
