Oregon,with her Statement No. 1. had taken the
most advance«! steps of any of the states, until
Nebraska adopted "the Oregon plan.” a few
weeks ago. Other states will follow in our lead,
fro.a time to time, until a majority of our United
States senators hold their positions by virtue of
the votes of tne people; when an amendment to
the Federal constitution will be submitted to the
people providing for the election of senators in
congress the same as the representatives of that
body.
When our Federal government was formed, our
revolutionary fathers had just emerged from
kingcraft The experiment of self government
had yet to I m ? made. Tne wonder is that a
government so clone to and subservient to the
people could be forme«!, at that time. Indeed, we
are fortunate that the United States senate was
not patterned more like the English Hous«* of
Ix>rds, than it is. The English House of Ixirds is
comp/S«*«l of aristocrats and hold their offi<-«*a for
life. Tne plan adopted by our Revolutionary
sires, was slightly more dem««cratic. While the
American senator does not hokj hisoffi-e in con-
sei] uence of title con fe red, he is elected by our
legislatures for the term <»f six years. Elected in
this way, the averag«* United States senator feels
that he does not owe his selection to the {»eople,
but to the legislatures and other influences. Our
fathers, evidently, thought that the people could
not be quite fully trusted to elect their law
makers. There was still a remnant of the awe t understand this propoeitK>n, that there will be no
