'THE PUBLIO -
T11M initiative ami rofoiviuhun was . adopted to cub
tho "publif-be-daimiod" policy of the legislature
by enabling the people to pass upon legislation enacted
as well as initiate needed legislation. The joker in the
law was the "emergvin-y clause" provision,' deemed nocos
sary to secure immediate action in case of real emergency.
Advantage of this clause has been taken in many in
stances to deprive the people, of their rights to "pass upon
legislation, where there was 'not' even the shadow of an
emergency. '
Abuse ot the emeigencv clause has been gradually
growing with every session
iwmilar defiance with the
Chamberlain and 'West vetoed
the emergencv clause was needlesslv attached constitut
ing an encroachment upon the rights of the people. . They
went even further and vetoed legislative bills which nul
lified the Avishes of the people as . expressed at the polls,
It is high tunc. that Governor AVithvcombe acted similarly
and by executive action restored the people their usurped
rights. .
The legislature is full of
demagogues who loudly declare their devotion to the pub
lie interests ana blatantly iirato tneir love tor tne -deer
pepul," their deadlv opposition to "corporation coriuov
ants" and "slimy monsters,"' and of professed purifiers
of politics who, when the time for action arrives, vote with
the "gang to soak the public and deny the erstwhile
object of their oratorical solicitude their constitutional
right of a day in court. . , .
There never was a more glaring instance of the "pub-lic-be-damncd"
nolk-y than the road legislation enacted
at this session legislation, that is truly taxation without
representation or recourse. The entire Jmrden of1. road
construction has been thrown upon the" automobile and
motor vehicle owner, who is made the ''goat" and de
nied the right of protest. Millions of dollars are to be
squeezed from the autoist for the development of Oregon
by a system of extortion without precedent in this or any
other state and the autoist is denied a voice in his rob
bery and deprived of his right of protest.
The legislature has voted a lxmd issue of ten million
dollars, following the issue of the previous six 'million
dollars, authorized two years ago and still unspent, 'for
liighwav construction, interest and bond to be paid bv
the autoist. This ten millions
ever made in the history of the state. No emergency ex
ists, for the money cannot be spent before June, when the
special election will be-held, yet the legislature declared
an emergency existed by the following clause:
. It Is "nereby adjudged and declared that existing conditions are such
tbat this act is necessaryfor the immediate preservation ot tho public
peace, health and safety; and an emmergency is hereby declared to exist
and this act shall take effect and be In full force and effect from and
after its approval by the governor. ; .
Here is legislation based
so based, 'can be just legislation or honest legislation.
But the legislature has
the money from the autoist, bills have boon. passed im
posing a tax of one cent a gallon upon gasoline and a half a
cent a gallon irpon distillate,
doubled the cost of auto licenses, inequitably based upon
horsepower, so that a man owning an old high powered
ear is forced to pay more for a license than the value of the
ear.' To both of these; .'measures' the same emergency
clause was attached, to deny those affected the right of
appeal to the people, though
exists. ' .
people, though no emergency
The. automobile owners
their share and so indicated
united ettort secured a popular endorsement ot the six
million dollar road bill which doubled their licenses. But
the legislature is riding a free horse to death, by forcing
all the cost of the road building upon the autoist, leaving
the users of other vehicles untaxed and denying them
the right or referendum. -
The autoist is a public
do his share and more in road
that had these million dollar mulcting measures been
made contingent upon a vote
cheertully worked and voted
being deprived of a voice in
his rights as a citizen. ' ,
; . ' There is no excuse for such legislation. ' It is wrong in
theory and 'vicious in principle, utterly uncalled for and
destructive of popular government. The legislators should
be compelled to answer their constituents for their de
fiance of the spirit of the constitution and greater care be
exercised hereafter to select men who will live up to their
professions and have some regard for the inherent,rights
of their constituents. ' ' , "

"N'ot 111 years," said Phillip A.
Walt, while In tho French Drug
Store. Tacoraa, recently, "havo I en
joyed bettor health or fell so wall
generally as 1 do slnco taking run
lac."
Mr. Waltz lives In what Is known
as Old Tacoiua, ut 33rd and Ijiwrenco
streets, lie has been n resident of
that city for nearly twenty-flvo yearn.
"Tannic haa. certainly been re
markable In my case." he continued,
"for it has not only relieved mo of
my terrible Buffering, but 1 huvo act
ually gained fifteen pounds In weight
aud hnvo Just finished my tnlrd bot
tle. I had bean bothered with my
stomach and. kidneys for twenty
years and was never able to find any
thing to do me any good. The pains
In tho small of my back and shoul
ders nnd In my left hip and knee
were awful. Sometimes I wus In so
much misery that 1 couldn't get
around at all and would havo to lay
off from my work for a week nt a
time, or more. When the weather
began to get warm last summer I got
in such a bad fix that I could hnrdly
stand It, nnd had to give up my work
entirely and was unable to turn my
hands to a thing all summer. I mov
ed out of town, right out Into the
woods thinking If. I lived out In the
open It might help me, but I con
tinued to surfer Just the same. My
stomach was all out of whack and 1
suffered agony from indigestion. The
gas which formed on my stomach
would get up into my chest and al
most cut off my breath. I had to
stop drinking coffee, quit eating
many things I like best on account of
the trouble they caused me. Tbe
pain In my .bark and hip got so bad
at times I couldn't straighten up If I
stooped over and my kidneys disturb
ed mo so pften at night that I
couldn't get any sound sleep. .
"Klnallv a friend of mlno who
works at the shipyards advised me to
get Tanlac and as nothing olse had
ever done me any good, I began tak
ing this medicine. By the time I bad
finished my second bottle I hadn't
an ache 08 a pain about me and, so,
I can say Tanlac beats anything I
have ever run across in twenty
years. I haven't had to lose a mln
uto from my work since that time.
My appetite is great, I thoroughly en
Joy everything I, eat. and nothing
hurts me. My kidneys are now in
flue shape, and can sleep the whole
night through. I feel like I havo
takon a new Ieaso on' life, for I fool
younger, : stronger and better than I
have In years."
