- , POSTPONEMENT BY REFERENDUM
, The attempt to force a vote at the next general election on
the milk bills which the Oregon legislation passed as public
health measures calls attention again to a weakness in the
referendum law of .this state. We say, "again," with special
thought of the fortified wines bill, which was finally approved
by the people, and so enacted, at the 1914 election, nearly two
years after the legislature's affirmative majorities had been
, polled. ,
In the same way enactment of the milk bills may now be
delayed for approximately a year and a half if the required
number of signatures is appended to the referendum peti
tions. '
Such delav. we are sure, is not the purpose of the refer-,
endum amendment to the Oregon constitution. That purpose
is solely to give the people the opportunity to take a nana
directly in legislation not of an emergency nature and to
establish whether or not enactment by house and senate of
any specific measure has been truly representative of the
popular will. The strength of a referendum petition is in
tended to be a gauge of opposition sentiment.
Once this showing is made and signatures on almost
any sort of petition are notoriously easy to get postpone
ment is automatic. . -
We believe thoroughly in the referendum, but we believe
also in speeding up its operation. This could be done without
difficulty by statutory provision calling for a state special
election to be held within a specified time from adjournment
of legislature, say a matter of one or two months and, of
course, setting earlier petition dates than are now required.
Thus the issue could be disposed of, one way or the other, at
the time at which the bill would otherwise become effective.
. A method of this7 kind would in no way deny the real
purpose of the referendum. It would eliminate the law's pres
ent by-product of delay.
AN INGENUOUS PROPOSAL
As nazi Germany crumbled into national oblivion, the
man who was believed to have taken control in the last year
of the reich made an eleventh hour attempt at salvage. I he
man was Heinrich Ilimmler and the attempt was a none-too-
subtlc move to antagonize Russia and her western allies. It
came in an offer to guarantee unconditional surrender of
Germany to Great Britain and America,
.. Had these nations accepted their interests would immedi
ately have clashed with those of Russia, whose troops had
already swept over eastern, Germany and who were steadily
demolishing and occupying Berlin.
It was a stupid attempt, one which had long been fore
seen and for which the answer was prepared. Not only was
unconditional surrender required,- but it must be made to all
Ihe allies. Possibly Himtnler realized thin, but it is just as
possible that he did not. Germany would not have scrupled
to take advantage of an ally, in fact had not scrupled to do
so in starting the war against Russia. Why should not the
Americansand British leap at the chance to double cross a
friend?
, But the Americans and British don't do business (hat
way. Let us hope that it was a sore disappointment to Ilerr
Ilimmler when his suggestion was refused.
By the middle of July five or
six automobiles drew up before
the American House every Sun
day. My father was jubilant. Hej
was even beginning to swagger a
little. "Why don't you take the
girls and go to Boston for a
while?" he suggested to my
mother.
Her feet were still on the
ground. "We aren't out of the
woods yet," she reminded him.
"Besides, if there is a trip to be
taken, it will be yours."
It was his custom to get away
for a week each year so that he
could keep himself posted on new
developments in medicine. He usu
ally spent a day watching opera
tions in the clinic at Bangor and
another at Bowdoin college, talk
ing to the dean of the medical col
lege, who had been one of his
teachers. Then he went on to Au
gusta, staying the remainder of
the time at the State Hospital for
the Insane, where he was a trus
tee. Coming back, he stopped
reluctantly to see Cousin Vic
toria at her home, Balmoral.
It was out of his way, but
Cousin Victoria naturally expect
ed deference. Moreover, she ac
knowledged no reserves. She got
you down in a chair, grasped you
firmly by the forearm, and started
in asking questions as though
she had some God-given fight to
know everything. "Where have
you been?" . . . "Whom did you
see?" . . . "What did they say?"
. . . "What happened?" . . . "Who
else was there?" . . . "Did any
one ask for me?" . . . My father
always dreaded these visits, for
he hated to give an account of
himself. But his stopping had one
advantage. It kept her from com
ing to see us.
At first he protested that he
could not be spared. The weather
was hot and summer complaint
imminent. But when Benjamin re
