was proposed as a direct means

That is oue of
the confessions of the author of the
system contained in “ The luitative, the
Referendum and the Recall,” a new
book by Prof. Barnett, of the Univer­
sity of Oregon, published by the M c­
Millan company.

that much good may come of something
designed for what seems to the great
majority a very evil purpose, is shown
by this book, which deals in facts and
the opinions of others ruthcr than the
opinions of the author.
What has been accomplished by the
Oregon system, complete data and other
information that should be in the hands
of both friend and foe of tho system
are found in this ably complied and
interestingly edited volume.
