'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.
