; Jefferson Myers Discusses Cur
rent Issues of Legislation at .
Selah Springs Picnic.
" "' 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. This has restored ' power to
Mh-i people and destroyed the machine.

In Kendall Case Will Assume
That. Japanese Told Mrs.
" Starbuck the Truth. " ,
, (TTnlted Press leased Wire.)
. Santa Rosa, CaL, Aug. 9. -District
Attorney, Lea today revealed for the
first time the theory on which his of-H
flee la working in regard to the mys
tery that surrounds the murder of the
Kendall family on the Starbuck ranch
near Cazadero.
District Attorney Lea said that 'ac
cording to a statement by Mrs. Star
buck to hfm, . the Kendalls were shot
dowa by Tamaguchl, an employe of
Mrs. Starbuck, following a fight at the
ranch in whlqh Yamaguchl and T. A.
Kendall exchanged shots and which Is
believed to have ended in the death of
the Kendalls. This is the story told by
Yamaguchl to Mrs. Starbuck, Lea said.
Mrs. Starbuck made a complete state
ment to Lea In which she told of Tama
guchl's visit to her in Oakland after
the shooting, and in which It la alleged
he co'hfessed uiat he killed all the Ken
dalls. : ,.::.:' v:.
District Attorney Lea says he had
Intended to withhold the statement
until the grand jury considered the case
but because of the many rumors In
volving Mrs. Starbuck In alleged contradictory-'
statements, and - even " inti
mating that she sent Tamaguchl to the
ranch , to drive out . the Kendalls,, with
whom she had legal difficulties, -the
district attorney, in - fairness to Mrs.
Starbuck, gave her authehtlto statement
to the press,. .-. ;..Vn iiy.,
Sirs. Starbuck's " Story.., ".;
After a ' description- of Yamaguch'l's
appearance at her home Mrs. Starbuck
was asked
"What did he say about the fight?"
"He s&id Tom Kendall struck him and
tried to kill him and shot at him and
then they all pitched onto him. Then
he said, 'I killed blm; I made away with
him.'
I said, Tou must be mad; you must
bo dreaming.' ' ,
"Did he say he had killed these peo
ple? - , .
No. He said he had made away
with them."
"Did ho say anything about what in
strument he had used?"
No. He said, "Kendall shot me.' He
said there was a glass In his pocket
with a metal back and . that If it had
not been for that he would have killed
him." But, of course, I did not, believe
It. He promised to come back but
never did so. I do not know where he
is now. . w.f -

near the corner ox his eyes, v , r.
"I said, WhatlThey struck you, you

tinued. "As the train rolled Into the
