Communicatio nsto COOS BAY DAILY TIMES Multifield Oregon laws proposed for Tin: VOTERS AT JUNE ELECTION The Initiative and Referendum must be regarded as one of the most salutary constitutional provisions which the pcoplo of Oregon have adopted. But salutary as It Is, there U no question that It may bo misused and abused. It Is quito the custom for designing politicians who repre sent grafting Institutions to put good laws to Improper uses at times In or der to bring them Into disrepute. If the pcoplo will do their duty, the pea nut, piratic and mischievous politi cians who practice these tricks will fall. One safo rule Is, If you don't understand a law, study It fairly and makes yourself understand It. Don't be satisfied to vote It down because you don't undei stand It. Ignor ance negative and unchangeable Ig norance leads to slavory quicker thnn anything else. Another good rule Is, show no favor to any propo sition which affects somo limited dis trict. For instance, thoso who want salmon protected at tho headwateis of tho Columbia river have no busi ness to ask all tho people to help them. They should havo given the Fish Commission power to adjudge that It was necessary to protect fish eries anywhero In the stato when on a proper showing it so appeared, and then, and then only, should havo em powered the Fish Commission to cn forco tho proper protective measures. It is folly to expect outsiders not to know that thero Is not a "nigger In tho wood pile." Tho proposition to increase com pensation of members of tho legisla ture to $400 for a regular session nnd ?10 a day for special sessions Is wise. To mako a man go to tho leg islature for $120 simply makes lilm tho tool of corporations which pay him Bccretly what ho ought to have. Send a cheap man to mako your laws nnd ho will sell you out cheaply. The proposition to havo Insane asy lums away fiom the capital Is not impioper. In other stales It Is done. Got all your atnto Institutions to gether in a bunch and you get nobody but rascnls to watch thoni. They trndo winks. Distribute them, and tho public uatcheid me widely separ ated and can watch tho Institutions with somo degree of Independence. Tho supicme court should bo In creased to Ihe metnbcis and tho ju dicial b stein ieIsed. The amend ment pioposing a revised judicial sys tem is absolutely necessary, 13 very ono should voto In favor of it, as It would also gho this county a court and ndd to Its dignity and security. Tho tlino for holding elections should bo changed to November, and tho proposition to bo voted on to that end should bo favored. Tho slioilff should havo custody of nil prisoners. Tho exemption lnw exempting dwelling houses, tools, Implements nnd furniture from taxation Is n proposition to establish a form of land tax which is already In forco in Now Zealand and Now South Wales. Tho proposition to enable votors to recall public officials is whnt Is callod tho "recall." It is socialistic, but It Is a safeguard against public servants going wrong. Stntoment No. 1 is proposed as n constitutional onnctmont. Tho ques tion hero Is merely, whothor party Hups shall bo bo far abolished as to mnko tho cholco of tho people senator Without regard to whothor ho belongs to ono party or another. Tho proposition favoring propor tional legislation Is also good, but at prosont experimental. Oregon 1ms a number of experiments on hand now. Lf u finish up one or two of them. Tho proposition to limit expendi tures for campaign expenses Is along the Mnos favored In other states at present. It can do no harm, nnd will produco a public sentiment which may do good. Tho act to protect salmon on tho lower Columbia river Is not tho con eon, of tho whole pooplo. Tho prop er way to handle It la to havo tho Flr'i Commission invested with au thority to Investigate and declare that It Is necessary to protect salmon whorovcr thoy deom proper. It Is not posslblo for tho voters to Invostlgato tho merits ot local schemes, and they should be regulatod by general laws. Tho proposition to grant freo rail road passes to certain officials is bad, and should bo defeated. Tho proposition to appropriate $100,000 for armories Is objectiona ble, on the ground that no monies should bo appropriated where many cities may bo Interested. The proposition to increase the University of Oregon appropriation to $125,000 per annum Is Important. Thero Is no question that the Board of University Regents will need that amount for present requirements. The equal suffrage amendment is ono which every voter has convictions on. Each must decide that on its merits. Tho amendment proposed giving cities exclusive control of liquor sell ing and gambling is scarcely needed. The Initiative and Referendum al ready provides for that. Tho amendment limiting tho time of the District Attorney to file indict ments is unnecessary. Tho grand jury system Is still in force. The act for tho creation of Hood River county is another local scheme. People outside the affected district know nothing about it. Had the peo ple who want It proposed a law be ginning "Whenever tho people o" any portion of any county now In exist ence shall desire to creato a new county, etc," then tho people of all tho state might understand It. The law should be general. All tho peo ple 'can no moro indulge In special legislation and be just than can a legislature. All special legislation is an abuse. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. A CARD.
