tution and they have tried that
104 times since 1943.
Ready figures beginning with
the General Election of 1944
show the people generally go
along with lawmakers on these
Constitutional changes, at least
two-thirds of the time they do.
Initiative petitions don’t fare
nearly as well at the polling
place. Since "44 only 12 of 31
initiatives have been approved
and the last successful petition
achieved voter sanction back
in 1958.
Since 1944 only 12 acts have
been referred by petition and
five were repealed at the poll
ing place.
Statistics must be brought
up to date periodically though,
and after November 3 the odds
may change. It’s been a full 10
years since Oregon has posted
as many statewide measures
as those appearing on this
year’s ballot. And in “modem”
times, only the Legislatures of
1957 and ’59 came near being
as prolific as our 1969 law
makers. The ’57 session refer
red 12 Constitutional amend
ments and the ’59 session tried
to make 13 changes.
The *69 Legislature placed
six amendments on last May’s
Primary ballot and eight on the
November “bedsheet.”’
How come all the Constitu
tional activity? Our lawmakers
have been trying diligently for
years to revise and modernize
the document.
A revised Constitution final
ly got out of the ’69 session but
died an inglorious death in the
Primary. The other 13 amend
ments (five In the Primary and
eight in the General) were
mostly embodied in the defeat
ed revised version and could
be considered “hedge bets” ap
pearing before voters twice on
a priority basis.
