The Pacific StiuoH Telephone Com pany will fight the suit instituted by the State of Oregon to recover 2 per cent of tho gross earnings or the com pany by attacking the constitutional ity of the initiative under which the tax law was passed. Tho company will argue that the initiative act deKtroys the purpose of the Legisla ture and makes it impossible to deter mine the qualifications of members or tho Legislature and Representatives to Congress, thus violating Art.

No man can point to a siiiule cood result it has ever accomplished. Tho people do not understand it, and never will under stand it. The men who framed it know but little more about if. It was hatched out by a few Impractical dreamers, and nevei would have been seriously considered by the mass of the voters had it not been fostered ami promoted by a few scheming Republican and Democratic politic ians who desired election to the Legislature from tho hotbeds of Pop ulism. It was not exactly conceived in sin, but it was brought foith in iniquity, and the state would be bi tter off without it.

Sometimes It has been less; but a "nickel a spool" has become a rule sanctioned by usage and by fair dealing. Can it bo possible that the rage for riches has become so Ilereo in this country and has so stilled the instincts of equity and humanity as to permit the formation of a trust which has set, out to extort blood money from helpless women, who are stitching away their poor lives to gain subsistence for themselves and their unfortunate children? - Kansas Citv Star.
