T? OHiMER 'SENATOR JONATHAN ROrWNE. .Jt.
proposes lo introduce mi initiative bill to remedy (he
abuse of tho'veferondum as exhibited bv the university- and
compensation referendum.? and of the initiativo as shown
by the submission of sectional and personal measures and
of the L'oealllo gratify spite, lie would accomplish this by
proinoiting tne paut circulation ot petitions.
The effect of such a measure would be to limit the use
of the initiative, relereuduni and recall as a court
of last resort for the people. .In other words, public senl i
inent would have to be strong enough for the people to
voluntarily circulate and sign petitions ot their own
accord.
The bill Mr. .Ronnie has-drafted reads as follows
"From And ftr the watac of thin act It ahull bo unlawful for any
person to ulvo. otter to kIo. promise to Klvo or cntuo to b Riven, tlliectly
or Jndlrattly, any valuable connldorntlnn. 0111 ploy liiont or niipoltitnunu for
(ho vurpo of inducing: any other pui-sou to circulate or nocuro Hlgimturoa
to any petition for the Inltlrttho. Korerfiidum, or Itccnll, or for plnclng
the uatn of nn Hrou utran any ballot or for tho nomination of any
pcron for any orrlce provldel for by th evonstltutlon or tho laws or th"
stato or Orepon or of any municipality therein. An person convicted ot
tho lolatlon of any or the provisions of thtta act shall be puulhnd I15 a fine
of not Ws than $100 nor more than $1000. or by Imprisonment in the
cuntt Jail not less than ono mouth nor more than one year."
In support of the measure. Mr. Ronnie, who is a firm
believer in the Oregon system, and would prevent its dis
credit through abuse, says:
The poIp purpose of the Oregon Sy?tom of Popular Government Is to
secure an offoctlvc- prelon of the will of tho people. So far as tho
Initiative, lleterendum. Direct Primary and Hocntl do secure such expres
sion, thoy are inclinable powers In government. To the oxtont that they
fail in this regard, they nrc defective, and remedial monsures should be
adopted.
The beitinnlnK of action under these reserved powers must be by 1
petition which Is designed to represent a certain amount of public sentiment
In favor, of n speciflo movement. Kxporloncu has shown, however, that
men favoring certalu measures or candidates employ others to circulate
petitions and secure slRiiature thereto, paying n specified sum for enrh
signature secured, with tho result that the petitions do not truly represent
public scntlmrut. To U16 extent that a petition doos not represent the de
Biro ot tho people. It Is n means of deception. Kxporleuco has also shown
that the practice of employing paid circulators not only results In securing
signatures out of proportion to public sentiment but encourages unscrupu
lous persons to forge signatures. This evil has boon so pronounced not only
In Oregon but In Ohio that remedial measures are urgently needed.
Wo must preserve unimpaired tho right ot potlttotL Hut preservation
of tho right of petition does not rcqulro continuance of the practice ot em
ilolng paid circulators any more than preservation of tho right to vote re
quires continuance of tho former practice of paying men to go to the polls,
AH that Is necossary Is free opportunity for preparing circulating and filing
petitions.
Mr. Bourne invites the co-operation of those who be
lieve in the effectiveness of such a measure to aid in circu
lating petitions and those who are willing to voluntarily
offer their services are requested to address him at Port
land, Chamber of Commerce building.

XTO argument worth v of the name is made against the
L n TJnivcrsitv of Oregon appropriations bv those who
have invoked the referendum because there is no argu
ment. 1
For six veal's tho work of the university has been ham
pered by this constant abuse of the referendum. In this
time the attendance has been doubled and the standard of
the university raised a remarkable showing, considering
the conditions.
The talk of saving the taxpayers money is nonsense,
for the appropriation has alreadv been provided for, and
if not thus utilized, will be diverted for other purposes.
The talk of the university in politics and "log rolling"
is bosh, for the university will henceforth be provided for
upon a nullage basis and not again come belore the leg
islature. Consolidation talk of the university and Agricultural
college is merely to becloud the issue. The work of tho
two institutions is different. Each has its sphere and the
tendency everywhere, is to segregate the institutions.
To use the Oregon system to cripple and dwarf the
state's educational system is to bring it into universal dis
repute. For a state like Oregon to have to send those
desiring higher education out of the state to get it, is a
disgrace.
. The best advertisement the state can have, reflecting
its education, culture and progress, is a strong university
and every progressive citizen should make a point of it
lo go to the polls and vote yes on the university appropri
ations.
Only by perfecting our educational system can popu
lar government bo made a complete success.
