ffA,n. is TiTidly illustrated in the
effort dt the Pacific States Telephone
company to break down the initia
tive and referendum and the Oregon
primary law. By the inltlatlTe, the
people of the aUte, after tha legisla
ture bad voted down such a measure,
passed' the corporation tax. law.
Under thati law the Pacific 8tates
Telephone company, which baa been
r--r.ntnr its Inst share of taxation,
was taxed $9,600, which it refused
to pay. The corporation went boldly
into conrt with the arowed purpose
of destroying the franchise tax law
by. destroying, if possible, the Initia
tive and referendum, by use of t which
the measure waa enacted. The case
is on the way to the supreme court
of . the United States, where that
tribunal might, of course, destroy
not only the initiative and referen
dum, but the many aalutary meas
ures that have been enacted by the
people's ballots under its operation.

A
SUMMARY of tha standing of
candidate, for tha legislature
a. to their attitude on State
ment No. 1. recently. published
sought to show that the candidates
tandlnsr bv the statement were com
paratlvely few, and that members of
the legislature or tnia raun woum
be In a hopeless minority. It Is said
that out of 158 candidates only eo
have signed Statement, No. 1 while
92 sign Republican voters choice or
are unpledged. "
Commenting on this, the Eugene
nriir uva: "This means that
two thirds the Republican voters of
Oregon are opposed to the statement
nr consider it non-essential to the
fitness of candidates for legislative
dutlea." To thla curioua conclusion
tf umiI nlv be reolled that "the Re
publican voter, of Oregon" have had
no say In the matter as yet. xnere
tnip-ht h ever so many antl candi
dates, and the voter, might reject
nearly all of them. There are ?d
m.mhi of the lerlalature to elect,
and If the 6 statement candidates
hnntd be elected, they would con-
titnte 20 more than a majority or
the legislature. Besides, there may
be other Statement No. l canaiaates
yet. The voter, will decide a week
hence. The Tendletoa East Oregon
ian present. different view from
that of the Eugene paper, thus:
- "What looka to be a .weeping vlc-
inrr for the Statement No. 1 rorce.
