While the criticism o i the movement has been of u ligl.t n it u re, there to in and behind 'the movement a very serious side. " Wai e it, is probably true that, most of the members of the army are not looking for work, the movement shows the condition thatour policies have brought t he country , to. . It shows the vast number of idle men, contirmed in idle- kicbo, auu puiuvs a tUUlCll IA. iUO tun: Ul onlimited, unchecked and u.n tram meled immigration which has been the policy of the government since its origin. There has been an inequality between the number of laborers and the number of jobs that has steadily in oreased, and is now increasing by geo metrical progression For years, the surplus labor found relief in locating government lands, spreading across the Great American desert until the flood istruck the Pacific coast and rellowed. The government laud is notexiiausted, .but that remaining is of such a char acter that It does not attract the labor er. The big prairies, where nothing but 'the plow was required to make them produce, are gone, and such lands as remain require considerable outlay before they can be put in condition for farming. The result is that every year the area located is smaller, and the overflow of population finds conse- . quentiy that much less occupation. ' According to Mai thus, our population would double in years, it unaided by immigration, and he who loves his -country must, if he gives the subject '-any thought, see the inevitable deteri--oration of the condition of the citizen -as population increases, and endeavor to put oft' the evil day as long as possi ble. The doctrine of Peace on Earth .Das some urawoacKs.. in jikiiu, tor ex ample, the cessation of petty wars and the rapid increase of population under the more enlightened government of England has reduced the people to a condition of beggary. . The limit of population is fixed by the limit of the country to produce food, and in India that limit has been. readied. Labor from its excess is at a nominal figure, while food products from demand are at a correspondingly high figure. , Nature alone can correct this, and does in the shape of famine or pestilence, caused by Insufficient food, which reduces-the population to limits that the country can again, support. - Thic condition, is approaching for us, and the part of wis dom would be to stop all immigration" and put as far in the future as possible-) that, culmination. IXIT1ATITE AXJ) REFERENDUM. A Short Explanation of an Important Reform Bein y Advocated in 0 regou Law-making by the People. No. 3. (Published by request of. the Joint Committee on Dlifct Legislation, W". S. JI'Re a, Secre tary. Milwnukie. Oreoron.1 The referendum would soon convince the originators of all vicious and unjust laws that they were wasting their time preparing bills that were not to the benefit of the people. The fact that the people would be at liberty at all times to, resort to the ini tiative and thus do away -with i the '-necessity 'of legislative action' ou- & pro posed law would stop all filibustering, talking against time and running away to prevent the transaction of business, Of the $2,705,496.17 appropriated by ' .lm Infat. Ipastalutlira nf niwmn or loauf. one-third could have been saved to the taxpayers without detriment to the miaie, aim wouiu nave ueen oy me rei erendum. This saving would amount to about $10 per voter. ? With the initiative and referendum, United States senators would be elect ed by a direct vote of the people. " It is only necessary to provide in our consti tution that "thequalified electors of the state shall constitute 'he legislature of Oregon," which in truth will be the fact, Laws once approved by the peo ple could not be declared unconstitu tional . by any court in the land, as the voice of the people is the highest law making power. ? Each county, elty or district would have full control of its own affairs and could try experiments In laws and systems of - government that a state would hardly dare to at tempt. We would soon have a prac tical demonstration of the different sys tems of taxation, and could then choose the one that was best adapted to our conditions. Any reasonable proposi tion would soon find some county or precinct willing to give it a trial.' The initiative and referendum would enable us to carry on great public im provements, - such as the portage rail way at The Dalles or the purchase of the locks at Oregon City. Our towns and cities would assume control of their local railroads, street car lines, electric light aud water plunte; or take such other steps as the majority at any time aw fit. i. , ,. ' . . i; . It being the duty of the state to fur nish a printed statement of the effect, together with an impartial review of reasons for and agai nst the enactment of each law, the voters could make an intelligent-decision without reference to a subsidized or interested press. -. ! ' ' The cost of making aud delivering to every voter a namphlet copy of fifty, laws and reasons would lie less than $ 17,000. All laws could be voted on at the regular June election once in two years. .";' , liy this system one-man power would be destroyed, as no legislature could ta ble it proposition, no governor veto it, or any court declare it unconstitutional after the people had given it their .'ap proval at the ballot box,' v.1 ' By reducing the salary of the office holder as. wages and' prices fall aud times grow harder to the amount the same work and talent would command hi other lines of labor, the professional office holder will soon disuppear. When the people make the laws there will be no money in politick aud it will cease to be a trade. - . ' . ; .. , . All the party platforms of Massachu setts lust year demanded the system for the state, cities and counties. The re publican governor was elected on that pledge and is working hard to keep his promise. Present indications are that the subject will be submitted Id the peo ple of that state this year to be voted on. . ,':.': .. . ' ' ' ; All citizens, regardless of party, aie earnestly requested to study the system and help make it a part of the consti tution of Oregon this' year. It'can be done by .refusing to vote for any candi date who. does not pledge himself in writing that he will do all in his power to accomplish the reform at the earliest possible dule. See that your party platform con tains a plank demanding the iniative aud referendum. .' - ..' J . No Protection in This. The directors of the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union met Saturday last, and among other things, let a contract for berry crates to a Portland firm for the remarkably low price of 19 cents per crate?' The factory here' offered to fur nish them for cents, against the price heretofore of 24 cents. As the union will have to rent a building for storing the boxes and keep a man in Charge for two months, besides hauling the boxes from the cars, we fancy the cost will be as much if not more than that offered by our local factory.

Apropos of the hue and cry against rice. throwing at weddings, a little story is told of one of the recent brides living not manyiniles from Brookline. Deciding to guard against this particular form of warfare, one of the members of the, family had taken the precaution on the evening f the eventful day of locking tip the pantry, and when at the close of the reception the self appointed commit tee of ushers and bridesmaids started on their search for the time honored article they were confronted by the insurmountable obstacle of a locked and barred door. . ? ' The best man volunteered to sup ply the demand for rice from the pantry of his own home, which was only a few" rods away, and soon re turned, bringing with him all he had been able to collect. This ammuni tion was divided among the little army of besiegers, who then gath ered at the foot of the stairs and bid ed their time. . ... ; At last quick, steps were heard in the upper : hall. Somebody called out, "They're coming," and twofly; ing figures sped down the staircase and out at the front door, almost hidden from sight by the thick, white shower which immediately enveloped them,' lodging in every available nook and cranny of their clothing. Some of the more adventurous spir its rushed after them .into the dark ness, throwing the last handfuls of rice that remained in through the carriage windows. ' i Pleased with their success, they re turned to the house and were pictur ing to themselves the sensation that the rice bedecked couple would make at the hotel for which they were des tined, when suddeply a carriage was heard to drive up to the door, the bride and bridegroom entered and disappeared into one bf the empty rooms before the astonished group could realize what had, happened.' - A few minutes later , they -again emerged, - serene and smiling, and freed from ; all evidence of the late fray, and proceeded leisurely to take their second departure, wbile the now empty handed and discomfited, guests were fain to own themselves fairly outwitted by this clever ruse on the part of the enemy.
