Declared. 1 'Abolish the state senate and let the initiative, referendum and recall,, be the check upon the legislature, is the plea made in a statement that baa been issued by the executive commit tee of the Oregon state grange. This statement says: Nearly every candidate for the leg islature is pledged for economy and for the conaolidatlon or abolition of offices wherever practicable. Whether these pledges will be fulfilled depends largely upon the action of the voters and their disposition to abolish un necessary offices where they have the opportunity. i ' .ballot number 350 gives an oppor tunity to reduce the number of legis lators by one third and dispense with a large number of clerks and sten oaraoners. niacin undivided responsi bility- upon a one house' legislature, thus showing confidence in the initia tive, referendum and recall as being a better chec,k upon the legislature than Is a steam roller political organi sation like that of the last state senate. , Argument Zs Answered. We are told that state senators as a rule are older and more experienced than the members of the house, that the state senate has always stood be tween the taxpayers and the extrava gance of the houee, and that the whole history of civilisation is replete with Jroofs that a single chamber legls ature la-a mistake. If the senate is abolished , the older and experienced members may be re turned to the house Just as long as their services are satisfactory to a majority of the voters, and the" will have more power and influence in a one house legislature than If set apart 'in a chamber- by themselves. The state senate has not always stood between the taxpayer and the house, but has been equally extrava- r;ant. Appropriation bills are purpose y made larger than expected to pass so as1 to make a showing for economy. Present history Is replete with proofs thst a single house legislative body can , be successful, economical and much more efficient than the dual chamber body.' States that changed to the two house system did not have the Initiative, referendum and recall as checks upon the legislature. Theories Hot practical. Some theories are beautiful to look upon but may not be practical when put into operation. The old conven tion! system of nominating: candidates was perfect in theory but in practice It was -so manipulated that it became a menace to free government. In theory fne voters . of each precinct were to meet and select the most hon est and capable of their number to represent them in the county conven tion. These delegates, in turn, being the more intelligent and patriotic of our citizens, were to select the men who were the best qualified to serve in the different offices. But it did not work out that way. Just so with the theory of a two house legislature in which each is sup posed to be a check upon the ill con sidered sets of the other, but in prac tice it affords the machine, politician and the trickster a chanee to get in his .work between the two branches and gives the members . double the opnortunltvfor trad In a: and logrolling and to dodae responsibility. . . Juat aa tha ceool assumed the Dow- r and responsibility of selecting their candidates through the direct primary they may now assume the right and responsibility of checking the work of th legislature through the initiative, referendum and recall. ' Abolish the state senate and it will simplify legislation, fix responsibility and promote efficiency and economy. .. S ; C K. S PENCE, '' ' ' :, C. Jj. SHAW, '..
