PEOPLE.
The Optimist, published at The
Dalles by that ever active and
interesting person, “ Old Man”
Bennett, not only wants the leg
islature to elect a Republican and
not Chamberlain to the senate,
but he wants “ the Republicans of
the state to get together and
decide that we have had about
all the crazy legislation we can
stand, and then wipe a lot of
these fool laws off o f the statute
books.” He says that unless this
is done there will not only be a
constant political turmoil, en
dangering Republican success,
“ but we will make such a name
for Oregon that we will not get
the settlers we are entitled to,
and Oregon will not experience
the growth that her sister states
will. People will not settle in a
state where cranks and fools are
the lawmakers, and where the
statutes are so framed that the
majority is powerless to adopt
needful legislation, and just as
powerless to prevent fool laws
from being adopted.”
But it takes a majority to enact
or defeat legislation now. And
if the people o f Oregon are
“ cranks and fools,” wouldn’ t it
be better for the minority to
enact laws? But Brother Bennett
does not desire the “ crank and
fool” people to have any such
power. He holds them unfit for
it, unworthy of it, and frankly
says so. Has he considered that
it is these same “ cranks and
fools” that elect members o f the
legislature and that these mem
bers are only just about average
men, and so on his own reasoning
are "cranks and fools” them
selves? Besides that, it is posible
to work a good deal o f evil among
and through a majority o f only
90 men, whereas this is impossible
with a majority o f 100,000 men.
A legislature cannot repeal a
constitutional amendment. And
if it attempts to take the power
from the people which they have
secured, there will be a good deal
worse “ turmoil” than ever, and
the chief victim o f it will be the
party o f which Mr. Bennett is so
ardent a champion.
As to these laws keeping set
tlers from the state, with due
respect for the ardently partisan
editor o f the Optimist, it is non
sense. This position that Oregon
has taken in the matter o f self-
government will attract rather
than repel settlers. Oregon peo
ple are no more “ cranks and
fools” than those o f other states;
rather they are more intelligent,
progressive and consequensly
more politically independent.
And there is little doubt that if
they could get the proper ma
chinery made and put into motion
the people o f most states would
follow the example o f Oregon.—
