Master of State Grange, A. T.
Buxton, 'Proposes to
Curb Its Abuse.
FIRST USE LEGISLATURE
Frontiers of Measure Never Intend
ed Its Indiscriminate Use by
Erery Crank Who Wants His
Ideas to Become Statutes.
FOREST GROVE. Or.. March 23. (Spe
cial ) Master of the State Grange A. T.
Buxton has Just returned from Eugene,
where he has perfected arrangements for
the annual meeting of the Grange on
May 12 to 14. He stated that a resolu
tion to amend the initiative and referen- ;
ilum law would be offered at this session
r.f the Grange. He stated that the Grange j
realizes that the law is being used too
freely, and he thought some such cur
tailment should be enacted. Speaking
further on the matter, he offers the fol
lowing: The present u.e of the system of direct
1' Filiation in thin mate, which amount,
virtually, to an abuse of it rather than a
propor use. must be regarded by all true
friends nf the nystem as most unfortun
ate. Th Inevitable tendency of this poilt-y
of hurrtenine the ballot with a pre at string
of stuff which nobody understands and fur
most of which there is no ra. ouWic de
mand, will he to disgust the ordinary voter
whh the whole system and prepare the
public mind to arcept the first opportun
ity to overthrow it. This la most unfor
t unate, for I consider that there is no
hotter safeguard against the corrupting
influences of unscrupulous corporations in
legislation than this same system of direct
Inglniatinn. and it will be a long step back
ward If It is ever abolished.
Thrnh Out In Leglslat ore First.
I believe that the objections to the sys
tem in Its present form are not inherent
in the system Itself and that they can be
very easily and effectively corrected by
two amendments in the methods of Its
operation. In the first place I believe that
no bill should ever be allowed tb be placed
upon the ballot by the initiative unless a
hill having the same general objects or con
taining the same subject-matter had first
been introduced in the legislature and had
there failed of passage.
My reasons for this are very simple and
yt very fundamental. It waa never in
tended, as I view it. that this system should
supersede the ordinary legislative system
ror the enactment of laws. It a new law
is needed the place to have it enacted Is in
the Legislature as well as from the press
and public; by such discussion its crude
features will be eliminated. Its weak points
j.rnoably discovered and the whole meas
ure strengthened and worked over into a
more acceptable form. Then, if through
any undue influence It fails to pass, it can
he placed before the people with much
better flisncpi of its being a safe" project
and being understood by the average voter.
"But." I hear the objector saying, "it
will still be a very simpte matter lor the
crunk to introduce his bill In the Legis
lature and if they are too foolish to re
ceive snrious consideration there he can then
place them upon the ballot." 1 would
overcome this by providing that no one
should be allowed, as at present, to receive
pay at the rate of so much per name for
rirculutlng initiative petitions. This would
fftciual1y eliminate the professional so
licitor, who now very often makes big
wif r-s circulating petitions to have measures
placed on the ballot, at ho much per name;
he cares nothing, and frequently knows
less, about the merits of the measure for
which he U working; people get so tired
being bothered with petitions that they get
into the habit of signing everything that
cornea along, regarding this aa the easiest
way to get rid of the solicitor; so the so
licitor goes on making a good thing and
so long as there axe men who can be hired
In this way and it Is permitted, we are
liable to have the system abused.
It. Only for Bral Public Demands.
It need not be argued that this plan
would prevent essential measures from be
ing enacted; If there were a real public
demand for It. and I counted that the initi
ative ought not to be used unless there
were, there would always be those who
would be willing to devote a little time to
circulate petitions. If the Grange, for ex
ample, wanted to Initiate something .1 feel
iure that -It would be able to do no.
I have talked this plan over with quite a
number of prominent members of the
range and shall recommend to the State
Orange, at Its meeting In May. that it lend
Its support to the amendment of the direct
legislation system in the manner Indicated,
nnd 1 have little doubt that it will do so.
The Orange stands firmly for the main
tenance of direct legislation, for we believe
it the most effectual means that has ever
fcteen devised for the protection of the inter
ests of the pople against wrong influ
ences exerted on the Legislature, and we
believe that the sensible thing for the peo
ple of Oregon to do is to discourage alt
talk of abandoning this measure of price
loss value and devote themselves to so
regulating Its operation aa to limit It to
its ixuo and original purpose and protect
h state alike from the Inroads of un
scrupulous boodlers and the dictation of
irresponsible persona or associations. x

HULSBORO, Or., March 23.
(Special.) Jir. Mary' Mead Hara.
wife of Hon. W. D. Hare, of this
city, died at the family home, on
Main street, this morning, after being
a sufferer from carcinoma for several
months. Deceased was born at
Union Springs, N. Y., April 8. 1840,
and was married to the surviving
hueband In Portland, March 15. 180.1.
Mrs. Hare's maiden name was At-
. thony, and she was a coosin of Susan
B. Anthony, and also a cousin of
-ex-Senator Anthony. . of Rhode
Island. A brother, Charles E. An
thony, of Ban Diego, Cal., survives of
her immediate family. A. W. An
thony, nephew, and a mining en
gineer, of Portland, and Mrs. FTanc
McCormack and Mrs. Bdlth Buckler,
nieces, of Portland, are her other
surviving relatives on the Coast.
Mra Hare had been a member of
the Presbyterian and congregational
Churches since girlhood. She was a
member of the Hastens Star, the
local grange, and a member of the
Grand Lodge, Degree of Honor. The
funeral will take place Tuesday,
from the residence, at 10 o'clock In
the forenoon, and Interment will bs
made in the Masonic Cemetery.
t
speeches were made favoring a wait
ing game, the idea advanced in these
addresses being that if the Repub
licans nominate an anti-Statement No.
1 ticket, the Democrats can win by
aiding in the nomination of an inde
pendent ticket composed of Statement
No. 1 men. This counsel did not pre
vail. '
The convict labor question arose
when a committee from the Carpen
ters' Union presented resolutions con
demning the use of state convicts on
state work or on any kind of work
except road building.
August Huckestein, a prominent
Democrat, took this as a jab at him
for he waa one member of a Board of
Trade committee which reported that
convicts employed at the fair grounds
were not in competition with the car
penters. -In a very heated manner he
told a representative of the Carpen
ters union that the committee s re
ports had been based upon Information
given by the carpenters themselves.
W. H. Downing, chairman of the
Democratic meeting, found tho subject
an unpleasant one, for he was chair
man of the State Fair Board which
employed the convicts. Downing cut
off the discussion and a motion lndors
lng the carpenters' resolution was
withdrawn. The representatives of the
Union announced that if the Demo
cratic candidates for the Legislature
will pledge themselves to vote against
convict labor on public institutions
they will receive the votes, of 150
union laborers In Marlon County.
The committee which will select the
Democratic candidates Is composed of
George Swegle, August Huckestein, L.
C. Kavanaugh, D. J. Fry and Grant
Corby.
