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

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. It would require
the arm.- of nearly all of Europe to tak
liberty from little st. Itm-rIanU. The more

I bellpve all franchises should be for short

a franehl-ee will be worth 25 years or OO years

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

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.
B. 92). .
