There is a strong sentiment in some
parts of Oregon, in favor of n referen
dum vote on the Lewis and Clark fair
appropriation.
While the vote of the legislature )ne
upon the measure was almost unani
mous there seems to be a demand
for a trial of the referendum on this
vital question.
This is all right. Let the people
exercise their prerogative. The leg
islature of laul placed the scepter in
their hands. They are the burden
bearers. Let them choose what
weight of taxation they feel able to
carry.
There need be no fear of the icfer-
endum vote or. this issue. The voice
of the legislature was the voice of
the people on that great day on which
the fate of the fair was decided.
Oregon will not reconsider this
step. Her record does not contain
one instance wherein the wheels of
progress have been turned backward
If possible the referendum vote on
the fair appiopriation will be mora
overwhelming than the vote of tho
legislature that was recorded in favor
of this exposition.
Oregon recognizes her opportunity
iu this great occasion. The people of
the world will seo her resources, her
matchless wealth and magnificent
promise set forth in this comin
event These will attract capital,
brains, enterprise and culture from
the mingling crowds that come to
shores. Those who may ccme to

THE NEWS TRUST.
This winter the legislatuie.s of Or
egon, Washington and California have
each sought to make tho Associated
Press a common carrier in law, as It
is in fact.
Strong efforts have been put forth
by friends of the common people, to
compel this monopoly to furnish tho
news of the country to all legitimato
applicants, Tho subject has been so
thoroughly threshed over that Httlo
remains to bo said, except that this
general attack upon tho concern by
the people of the Northwest and Cali
fornia, denotes that they fully under
stand tho despotic power exercised by
the Associated Press In tho world of
news, and are making a concerted de
mand for justice.
Tho people, by whose consent this
monopoly enjoys Its oxlstenco, pros
perity and authority, are entitled to
tho fruits of its labor upon payment
of a reasonable prlco. This concern
Is a public news gathering Institution,
just as the railroads aro freight-hauling
enterprises. It has no more right
to monopollzo tho news of tho coun
try, and to refuso to sell its commod
ity to new enterprises than a railroad
has to say that It will haul lumber
