ABUSING THE INITIATIVE.
Initiative for Matter of General
I ntrett.
"Tbe Initiative privilege la a valua
ble right and tbe people of Oregon are
fortunate In the poimMlio of tho
sine . It la a right though that ahouM
bo used with dlacretlon. If the Initia
tive li Invoked Indiscriminately it
will be of Injury rather than of henry
fit." aaya the Pendleton Ka.st Ore
Ionian la it lamju pf July l'J.
"Uy the nature of thlnga the Initia
tive should be used for the settlement
of question that are of general state
Interest and quentlona upon which the
people at Urge are capable of Judg
ing. It waa proper that the direct pri
mary law be enacted under the init
iative. Tbe law could not have b-n
epacted In any other way. LegUla
tura ulecied under the old convi-ntlon
aysteiu would never have panned the
direct primary law. It waa proper
that tbe corrupt practlcea act bo en
acted under the Initiative and refer
; endum. That law pertain to political
' morality and the people were able to
Judge of tbe merlta of tbe law. It la
all right to settle the Dorm.il school
problem under the initiative. The
legislature baa utterly failed to handle
tbe question.
"Put the moHt glaring abuse of the
Initiative la on the part of those who
have proposed county division meas
ures, Eight bills have been filed aak
Ing for the creation of new counties
or for the changing of boundary lines.
In each cane tbe question Involved Is
of a purely local nature; not of state
Interest. It will be ImpoKslhle for
the people of the atate to Judge of
these measures with Intelligence, All
division disputes should have been
held In abeyance pending the passage
of a law calling for the settlement of
such disputes by the people directly
concerned. The cpunty dlvlslonlsta,
however, have refused to wait. They
have submitted their bills In hopes
tbe people will vote blindly for them.
They have abused the Initiative priv
ilege and they should be rebuked for
doing o. Kvery county division bill
ahould be voted down.
"Insist that tbe Initiative be uxed
only when It may be Invoked with
propriety."

Editor Arjnis: The Fair i over,
and all we have left of it li a
pleasant tnemury of the most
Ix'autiful apples ever seen m
this section, or any other. The
growers are to lo congratulated
on the quality of their fruit, and
complimented for the lilwral
manner in w hich they rescinded
to the reoui'st tor exhibits, as
some of them put a yreat deal of
time ami some expetme in yet
tin": their display together. P-r-nard
b is, of Meaverton, is to a
irreat extent resHinsibIe for the
tine apples, as it was from the
use of the Aetna Spray he man
ufactures that made the tine
fruit possible. He had 1) differ
ent varieties of apples all of top
irrado, which took blue riblxms,
as well as the Winter liartlett
Pears and the Italian and Silver
Prunes, w hich wero extra-fancy,
and also took blue Hblxms. Mr.
Houston, who took the prize for
the largest display used Mr.
Lois' sprav as did a irreat many
others. The owners of the fruit
prave us permission to take it to
Portland where it is attracting
immense crowds, who exclaim
"Where is Hillslxiro?" The dif
ferent varieties each receiving
their share of praise, the Gloria
Mundi from J. 1. Morrison, and
the Blue Perrnaine of Bernard
Leis receiving the most attention,
the Meier & Frank Company have
through the use of their window
shown Portland and the traveling
public that right at Portland's
door can le found land that will
grow the finest fruit in the world,
and that people do not have to
go from one to WK) miles away
to buy fruit land of tho highest
grade.
Now that we are on the map,
we are going to try to stay there,
and with this object in view every
one who believes in the future
prosperity of Hillsboro and
Washington County are urged to
attend a meeting in the City Hall,
1'ndav night, at 8 o clock, to
devise ways and means to
continue the good work that has
been started by the fruit men,
and so generously aided by tht
'Meier & Frank Company, of
Portland.
N. H. Al.KXANDElt, Sec.
The road from the first bridge
northwest of town, clear to the
city, will be finished within a few
days. Kock is already haulet
past the Michel place, the ok
Billings' site, and the macadam
is to be brought through to Sec
ond Street and brought far
enough south toconnect with the
planking, thus giving a goo
road clear from the condenser.
As soon as the stretch of road on
the Jackson Bottom is macadam
ized there will be a good two
mile stretch ot fine road.
