Pendleton, Or., June IS. In a decld v. dly poor game of baseball. Baker City r won from J.'eodleton today by the score t of 15 to s.. The contest became bo raw that the graTidstanrt and bleeehers were s practically denuded of spectators, and those who remained spent their time in -roasting the players on both sides. It was undoubtedly t'.ie worst game ever . seen; In the city between teams sup ij posed to know something about the gsme. This was the first of a series . of four games. nun legislature. Incidentally, In case the referendum Is Invoked on any action of the legislature or ius. it wui nu possible for the people of the state to pass upon the question before November 1110. thus holding up the matter fpr five months, longer than usual, owing to the abolition of the general election on the first Monday of June. .

The amendment does away witn the general election or June, isii;, pmi- 'his also oostoones the action on the Inltlntlva or referendum, since it is rovided in tne law tnai me voio uii he initiative shall be had at general Attorneys see a serious aspect In ths change caused by the alteration m tne date of holding elections. It means that It will be practically two years after an act Is passed by the legisla ture and held up by the referendum before the people can have an oppor tunity to pass their Judgment andeuner ratify or reject tne measure. Under the old system,- as Illustrated by the campaign Just closed, It required n radically a year and six months to get action on a measure upon which the referendum had been Jnvoked. A bill passed by the legislature some time in January and held up by the refer endum could not be acted upon until June of the following year. This was due to the fact that all regular ses sions of the legislature were held on odd years, as 1907, While all general elections were held In June of the even years, as June, 1908. rue cnange in ine aaie, nowever, Fostpones the date some five months, n the future therefore If the legisla ture of 109 should pass some law upon which thu referendum should be in voked, the measure would be held up until November, 1910. It would be practically two years therefore before the law passed by the legislature of 1809 could become of effect. In the case of an appropriation bill. as the University of Oregon appropria tion lust considered at the polls, it would be nearly two years before the appropriation could become errecttve lr the referendum was Invoked. From another point of view, a measure held up Joy the referendum could not be eftBSfr killed or made effective by the neonle until two months before the sue- ceeatng legislature Degan its worn.
