'HAT does It mean, when, in
the face of the late past,
the Oregon Ian comes to the
front and declares that it is
vltt favor of the principle of the ini-
tjative and referendam, and of the
primary lawf Like a hyena on the
enhancement of the cost of neces
saries for the benefit of monopolists
could be stopped. The principal ob
ject of government at all times
should be to afford the best possl
ble chance to the masses of tolling
people of small means, but this ob
ject seems to have been forgotten
by many people la high places.
The situation, according to many
reports, is improving, Is much bet
ter than it was a few weeks ago, and
we think will continue to Improve;
but this improvement ought to be
aided by all who have it in their
power to do ao, especially those who
might profitably employ labor that
they are not employing. Locally,
the situation is more satisfactory
than In most cities. Most men in
Portland who really want work can
find It. A good deal of development

proposition we would accept the
statements of the men he names rn

as far as they went they were correct
But they were selected figures, most

careful In the editorial mentioned
not to vouch for them.

THE UNEMPLOYED.
T IS estimated that there are
1,200,000 unemployed people in
tne country, about half of them
la the larger cities. While this
majr be an exaggerated statement,
w ttbe situation presents a grave prob-
"lem, that should engage the earnest
, .' attention of ,Btatesmen, publicists,
and other people of influence. It is
impossible, of course, for them, or
, ior aumonue ot any or all kinds,
to furtilsh" employment to all appll
cants, jor even, directly, to many
. more' than ;tho regular or normal
' number of necessary employes; yet
- ,lt does not follow that nothing can
be done by the civil authorities,' na
tional, state and city, to increase the
.opportunities for the working classes.
Less extravagance Iff certain direct
"tlons would leave more money to be
n sod ita public works and improve-
cents; there could' be a more equit-
done likewise. Each party has just
the. chance its voting strength enti
tles It to. The minority party's can
didate may be a stronger man among
the people, but as a party man he
has no advantage by this system that
he wonld not have under the old
system. If a good many voters of
the majority party should happen to
prefer the minority party s candi
date, that Is the Individual business
and privilege of each. Mr. Hlcln
botham may think it his duty to vote
for his party's candidate; lf so, let
him perform that duty and no one
should object; but lf his ordinarily
Republican neighbor should think It
his duty to vote for the other party b
candidate, neither has anyone a right
to object. Let the people deciae Be
tween the two candidates and take
this business out of the hands of the
legislature. This is what Statement
No. 1 means. ,
. Let us repeat: In the June elec
tion there is but one Republican
running against one Democrat. The
Republican Tote wllf not necessarily
be any more split up than the DemO
cratlc vote, because of the 1 new
method. Our Clackamas county ,
friend says "we should submit to the
stronger party." . Very well; but let
the people decide. In the case of sen
