A CRIME AGAINST OREGON.
HE right of , the masses to par

governmental affairs has been
a recent boast of Oregon. It
has been heralded far and wide as a
reason for homeseekers to settle in
the state. It has been, and is, a
drawing card in attracting immigra
tion. It has been applauded by the
many unpurchased newspapers in
other states, particularly that feature
providing for popular choice of sen;
ator. It is known that many home
seekers have been attracted to Ore
