V V the right to choose United
, . States senator? ' Are ' they
Incompetent for the task? ' Has their
1 use of the privilege been abased or
betrayed? , Has it 'resulted in sena
torial deadlocks and riot at Salem?
As oncetfled In Oregon did It result
In 40 days, of bedlam and a deraor-
. alization of the legislative session?
Is. It because the privilege has been
abused, and the Ftate been betrayed
by the people, that . the voters are
asked to give it up? lias any shams
or any scandal, or any sale of the
' senator-ship" to. the highest ' bidder,
occurred under its operation? Is
there one man in all Oregon who
: rises up ' to ' charge ' any of these
abuses to choice of senator under
Statement No. 1? . ''
, Not one man has so charged.' Not
one man will so charge. ' Not one

they seek-to ,fol6t upon voters as a,

the power be delegated to a few poll-

the politicians, that, pay the taxes?
Is it the 'people, or is it the. politi
cians, that supply the money to build
school houses and support schools?
Is it the people, or is It the polltl

of supporting the government rests?
Is it the people, or is It the polltl'
' clans, that shoulder a musket and
trudge off to battle when there is
need, of defenders for the country?
; Why; then, for what reason, under

OUR local contemporary is still

present and probable results of
'modifying the representative system
" - of our Btate government by these

fore the people instead of being be
" lore or trying vainly to get before a

contemporary thinks, eo many a3ser
'. tlons or assumptions that represen
tatlve government is a failure. Well,
.1 rhat then?;; Isnft it true that repre-
fientativo government Is to ft great ex
" tent a failure. And Isn't it likely to
be less so If the pocple can either
make of veto laws themselves? ,
But, , It is bewailed, everything
."hobbyhorsiral, fatnouS or absurd"
Is brought forward under the Initia
tive because anybody can et peti
tions signed. The present list of
measures does not. Justify such an
opinion; still less so, probably, will
future lists eo presented to the peo

'much state-wide importance. . Sorae
would : better be and probably for
