The Oregonian, Portland Jour
nal and Telegram, the Salem
RtAtmn and Journal admit
that the effective way to meet
the objectionable features of the
General! appropriation bill, is
through an initiative bill rather
than the referendum. The fact
is. second sober thought of tho
people of Oregon turns to an
initative bill f.s the only direct
way to get at the evils complain
ed of in House Bill 370. The
most that can be claimed for the
referendum in this case 13 that
it would serve as a rebuke to the
legislature. It carrfes no cura
tive qualities whatever. It would
be an expensive experiment;
would cripple the administra
tion of state government gener
ally .and the probabilities are,
would dot discontinue a single
normal school. The mother state
normal a Monmouth will con
tinue, and there is no assurance
any of the others would close
their doors. In truth, the schools
have to strong a case in equity,
to shut down because referen
dum petitions may be filed with
the secretary of slate. The leg
islature has made the appropria
tions, objectionable as they may
be. The Govenor, though he
did not sign the bill, gave it the
endorsement of filing it without
his veto, with the secretary of
state. Each of the schools has
a board of legally constituted re
gents who hold office py appoint
ment of the Govenor. These re
gents have employed instructors
and incurred other expense. To
annul the contract with the
teachers of the different faculties
and throw them out of employ
ment after similar positions they
might have held in other schools
are filled, would be an injustice
that the state could hardly afford
to father. While it is true, the
legislature provided for too many
poorly equipped normals, the
best that can be done is to give
them two more years lease on life
by which time the people will
have had an opportunity to get
at them through an initiative bill
at the polls.
Senator Milton A. Miller fa
vors a vote on House Bill 370
and in an interview embodying
his views of the duty of the
people in the matter says:
"They should vote down this
combination bill and send a
committee to represent them at
the. next session of the Legisla
ture." The Senator forgets that the
main purpose of the initiative
and referendum is to do away
with outside committees and
lobbyists. A peculiar view to
take as to the purpose of the
referendum.
