however, tha Oregon Wolf waa let out
and made the course at an average of
41 miles an hour. So elated are the
owners with her success - they have
asked for official Judges and tha, boat
will probably be given a trial of 10D
miles next month. '.'.-'-.:
Owing to tha limited time of Presi

accepted. No , word has been ' received

California's adoption of tha Initiative,
the referendum and the recall records
another follower for c tha pathfinder,
Oregon. The amendments striking at
the power of the boaaea and. reserving
to tba people tha right to legislate for
themselves are in many respects strik
ingly similar to tha , Oregon amend
ments, while. In others an attempt hna
been made to improve upon tha methdda
used In this atate. 1
A comparison and analysis of theso
changes makea interesting reading for
Oregon, It is clear that tha Callfor-
nlans have : appreciated,, some of tha
complications in method that have re
sulted la Oregon, and have workeU out
a mora comprehensive plan, particularly
as to the recall, "-f . :-, '
Ona of tha striking feature of tha
California plan, as regards tha Initia
tive, is a dual system, whereby the cir
culators of an initiative petition may
submit it directly to the people or ad
dress it to t ho legislature. If framed
for submission, directly, to tha popl,
the procedure does not differ. materially
from tha Oregon plan. Eight per cent
of the total vote is required, ba.se 1 on
tha vote for governor at the laat el po
tion, instead of being upon the- vote tot
supreme Judge, as In Oregon. There is
some advantage in thla, since only ona
governor is - elected, and the division
of the voto when there are several can
didates for t ho supreme court has In
volved complicated mathematics ana
possible legal strife in this state.
May Fropoae Substitute.
In tha case of an Initiative meaaura
submitted to the legislature In Cali
fornia, however, only 6 per-cent of tha
vote for governor is 'required, V lthni
40 1 daya after the legislature m.-a
it must act on the measure, wlMioii 5
changing or amending It if the 1 ,.'.
lature rejects, or falls to act within 4
days the length of the seailon In try I
state being 60 daya tha nifnnur. m , .
be placed on the ballot for tha pi .
verdict at the next election.
However, the legislature la f
