" "' Special Dlipatch to The JonrnU Silvcrton, Or,; Aug. 8, Seven hundred persons were In attendonce at picnic at Selah Spring Sunday.; where address "' es were delivered by Dana H. Allen of Palem, A. J. Eteelhammer, an anti-assembly candidate, and Honorable Jef rTerson MyersTJf Portland:- ' Mr. Myere' addresv which had to do I. with Oregon's scheme of popular legis lation, was; as follows:; J J On this, the Sabbath ' day,. I hope to "address yout on subject that will be of " some value to you1 in determining quea " tiong pertaining to our government " The first Question I am going to sub mit to you is in reference to the affairs of our state, and one that. Is now .being .discussed, mora than' any other. It la the question of political -assemblies or convention We have had them for the " past ages and are ftuite familiar with their results. ;. Many of , ua have had soma insight s into their Nvprkings and know well how they were 'Conducted. It is a well known fact that delegates were selected by a committee which would adopt a printed list of. socalled. repre sentatives, chogen by the special or. cor porate Interests, the political boss al wavs ready to take up their work. The direct primary . came Into this state asa result of machine politics and I party bosses.- If there had been an hon- est election of United States senators "or an uncontrolled convention and.no purchasing of votes at the polls under the old system of elections, there would - never have been primary law or State inent No. 1; initiative and referendum, - corrupt practices act, or recall. These laws came to us as a 'protest from the people who are the best judges of hon ety; who are always the ones who must suffer for corruption in the affairs of " government; who must pay the bills for corruption; who must suffer v the rang of poverty and who" must see their offspring robbed of their Just right t an education and opportunity to la- !. bor for an honest living. Political boss- ' es or -machine politics and corporation demands without- strong resistance will destroy the most prosperous govern ment. . - - - j The direct primary law. was adopted " by the people of this state in 1904 by a vote of 66,205 for and 16,35 'against, , about S to 1; and from that day .we have left the old rotten custom and gone ! over to a -clean law. ..-- The Initiative sad Referendum. Plutocracy , Is the rule of the rich. '. Aristocracy la the rule of the few. De- mocracy is the rule of the people. The ' initiative and referendum is the rule of the people or pure democracy. The lni , Dative gives the people power by which 8 per cent", of i the voters can prepare a law and have it voted oa by the people, without any reference to the legisla ture or . executive, departments of the state; The referendum gives the people , power by which S per cent of the voters ca n, by referendum petition, cause a law passed by the legislature to , be sub mitted to the voters before ft can be . ccme a law. The right of J the people to instruct, their officials is an old right and never was abandoned.- It is a natural law,. and is more binding than any written constitution.' No master would dare dispute this right of his servant " . - ; . Our government Is In a good condi tion when its officials are. the free choice of the, people And represent the people in their various official positions'; ,but when the officials are selected by . political bosses or hired agents of the ; great interests 6r corporations, then a . few ' selfish persons or - corporations gain control and enrich themselves at ".the expense of, the many. "They tnls- represent the facts by untruthful argu ments, march; ahead of the band In workingmen's parades, claiming to help " ave them from the hired agents of the corporatione," and then finish up their disgraceful ork by the purchase of votes to strike at the heart of our " government. - , . ;;f. ; ' Such officials, selected in this way for the important offices f our gov ernment cannot serve the people. They J must serve their masters, the corpo- rations. They will" nou pass laws for 'you. That Is your great, need for the Initiative.
