'Two of the speakers thumped the Ini tiative, and thereby aroused a short dis cussion that evidenced a division of opinion.' Ernst Kroner and J. Wood . 6mlth declared that the Initiative needs ' to be Improved ' and protected ' from " rraad7whtieTrthPT- sptkw -thought it ; would be well to approach that question with caution. F. S. Myers, vice presl-1 dent of the club, presided. "- '"Oppose! to-s41ir petitions. Mr. Kroner, candidate for representa tive, said that governments are too prone to rush into debt when times are good, and said he Is opposed to bond Issues except for extraordinary need. He declared he was one of the first men In Oregon to advocate the initiative, but toothing is so good It cannot be over- - done. 1 am one of those heretics who think we have too much of the Initiative and referendum," he said. "I am opposed to. the peddling of petitions and the In discriminate proposing of bills on all aorta of subjects. " He said he believes Initiative petl . tlons should be left at the office of the county Clerk, to be signed by registered ( voters' only In the presence of the clerk r one of his deputies. J. Wood Smith, candidate for the state senate, agreed that the initiative Is being abused, and should be amended to protect it from "Jokers." He sug . gesfed a clause obligating each elector to jtate that he has read a bill before be signs a petition for It. ; - - rTors compensation Act. Floyd Bilyeu asked if the Initiative would not be killed If voters had to go . to the court house to sign. Smith said - be did not think so, because a man will go 10 miles to sign If he Is really In- - teres ted, and unless Interested he ought ' not to sign. Chairman MyerB suggested that amendment of the initiative should pro coed slowly, and Bilyeu declared that " any amendment should come from the friends of the system. Smith In his remarks took strong ground in favor of a workman's compen satlon act modeled on that of the state Of Washington. He said he favors three main trunk roads through the state, with connecting roads to be built by ' the counties, and he advocated the ln- - terstate bridge over the Columbia. : Smith made a spirited attack on the initiative "blue sky" bill, and accused Secretary of State Olcott of stealing his thunder. He said he was the first to suggest this law for Oregon at the sec rotary of state's office, an'd Olcott soon after began boosting the measure. Declares Bill' Zs Faulty. The bill proposed is faulty, he says. because it contains a "Joker" providing ' TorJ25!nrThe "first "year and J20.000 thereafter for a corporation department. This Is unnecessary, he said, and is to provide a place for Olcott and his fa vorltes. A. F. Flcgel, candidate for representa tive, warmly favored the passage of law for workmen's compensation, and said if the legislature does nothing more than pass un act similar to the one In Washington It will have performed a valuable service to the state. While - favoring economy, he said he believed tha the bridge over the Columbia is needed and Is worth the money. He promised, if elected, to investigate all legislation and oppose all unworthy bills, as he believes the state Is already suffering from too much law. Frank Schlegel, candidate for the sen ate, denounced the law for publication of delinquent tax lists, and said It should be repealed. He favjired work-.-Jnen's compensation and public owner- ship of utilities that are natural mo. nopolles, such as telephones and gas. He denounced log rolling practices and fa vored consolidation of the city of Port land and county of Multnomah if this can be done without harming the inter ests of either. Bees Democratic Success. John B. Ryan, nominee for secretary of state, told of a tour he has been mak ing over the state. He said that In eastern Oregorr and in the Willamette valley as well there Is practical assur ance of the success of Woodrow Wilson and of Harry Lane for United States senator. He alo stated that with the Bull Moose movement in full tilt the chances are good for the -lectlon of ihe entire Democratic mate ticket. He urgod Democrats to gt together and pull unit edly for the success of the whole ticket. C. H. Llbby reported a poll he made in precinct 133, which gave 14 fur Wilson, eight for TaTt and two for Roosevelt. Hhcrs who spoke were Oglesby Young, for circuit Judge; J. B. Carr. for county clerk; Elmer R. Lundberg, Dr. Jack M. Tates, Benjamin Brick and M. D. Hawes, candidates for the legislature.
