THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER ID, 1812. iDViSES CHANGES TO SAVE INITIATIVE Paper by Judge Lowell, of Pen dleton, to State Bar Associ ation, Says Abuse Is Killing People's Rule. 'The Oregon Stats "'Bar association Is In annual session today In tha United States district court room. With 25 attorneys, the majority Portland men, in attendance this morning, a much larger number had assembled for the afternoon meeting, and 123 plates are reserved for the banquet tonight at the Multnomah hotel.' l Important above the other business of the morning was a paper criticising some of the present Oregon legal forms, written by Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton and read by C. . Schnabel. . "The problem presented by the opeis atlon of 'our initiative law," said Judge XiOWell's report, "is a serious one. Men who are friends of the so-called Oregon system are. becoming appalled at the number of measures which are pre vented at each general election. "Personally 1 would, not limit the referendum, but .assuredly . we -.would have abundant legislation if the law re stricted the Initiative to not more than two constitutional amendments, and not more than three laws at any one elec tion. -! Such limitation would hot be In conflict with the constitution. "The state may properly authorise the secretary of state to place upon the ballot the .first two constitutional' amendments' and the first three laws, which, reach bis office and allow all others to have place at succeeding elec tions In the respective order In which they are .filed; providing, of course, that they are not enacted Into law by inter vening legislatures. ''.:!;; Vs Bare Zntttattre. , "t have supported the Initiative and referendum consistently since its adop tion," and earnestly desire Its perma nency.: If tt is to be continued. Its friends must find means' to restrict Its operation, or otherwise its enemies will destroy, It; "The Initiative Is a source of dangei when unrestrained. With reasonable restrictions, it can do vast publlo good, but running wild now. It Is a source- Of danger. No measure ' should ever be presented that the people do not have time to thoroughly' consider." Speaking of the corrupt practices act. Judge Lowell accused It of being mean ingless and valueless as far as cam paign expenditures art concerned. The report suggested that an amendment be made sd that the apparent limits or xo per. cent' and 19-per cent for expenses be made to, cover everything except act ual personal traveling expenses. The law at present, says the report. Is a delusion, and a man of moderate means is helpless against a flood of gold which may be turned against him In a cam patgn, . Other points recommended by Judge Lowell for consideration by the legis lature were: That in divorce cases the district, attorney should appear and thoroughly cross-examine the parties and witness; that Judges should call a reputable attorney to the bench In case they are not able to preside, or lr the docket has too much business for them to attend to promptly;, district attorneys should furnish free legal advice to citi zens unablo to pay for such; in Justice courts neither attorneys nor pleadings should bo necessary, as nothing is re quired but a plain statement of facts; that legal requirements to the effect that certain laws should be read to every newly empaneled grand Jury be done away with, as the system is anti quated and unnecessary, and that the system of seals and scrolls In the exe cution of deeds and mortgages is anti quated. Would Limit Jury Exemptions. One recommendation that was made In the paper Is to the effect that the law of Jury exemption should be amend ed. There is no reason now, It, said, why a minister, priest, teacher, mem ber of legislature or fireman should be excused from Jury service except when these people have other special cause, such as sickness, Just aa any other citizen. The grievance committee, In its re port, took occasion to congratulate the state association on the fact that dur ing the whole year only two menfbers of the bar had acquitted themselves in Such manner as to require Serious in vestigation. Five complaints were con sidered by the committee, but three of them were trivial. The other two were against Max O. Cohen, the Portland attorney, against whom rests a federal Indictment on a serious charge, and Attorney Robert G, Smith of Grants Pass. Smith Btands to be disbarred on the grounds of fraudulently appropriating funds for his own use that belonged to a client. The committee decided to await the outcome of the court cases "Stopped My Cough f And Gave Me Health" Says Mrs. Ila Benjamin, who Calls it "The grandest medi cine ever made." It cured her of a cold when her doctor could give her no relief and built up her weak run-down system af ter years of poor health. "It is with great pleasure I write to tell you what I think of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. I sincerely be lieve it is the grandest medicine ever made. It relieved me of a cough that my Doctor could not stop.." I had been in poor health three years. I took lots of medicine, but none of it l . j. j -m t mn icciiieu to uo me any guuu, uu i jj heard of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and got three bottles and took it Now Larrr better and I tell everyone how it helped me." Mrs. Ila Benja min, Woodhull, N. Y. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey . has brought during the past half century the blessings of health to thou sands of the overworked, delicate and sickly. It overcomes all weakening, wasting and rundown conditions of the body, brain and muscle, and is wonderfully effective for all throat, ;lung and stomach troubles. jCATTTXOW Wbea Ka how pending agatnat the two before Uk mg runner action. : J.

"1 1 found that it was Interfering with my 1 official duties as head of the Oregon National Guard, and I concluded to get off the board and ltt some less busy man take my place. "I am glad to know that General Llewellen of the Washington State Na tional Guard has been named by the secretary of war to fill the vacancy.
