THE CIRCULAR LETTER
Following la a copy of a. circular e
Ing sent out by the Oregon League
furthering: the cause the proposed
Constitutional amendment: - '
To insure the adoption of the initi
ative and referendum amendment to
the Constitution It must have more
than forty-five thousand votes even If
not one?vote la cast against it. Do not
forget $o mark your ballot on this
question. .- ;
Let every man wbo-'favora more di
rect legislation in Oregon be sure to
vote for the) initiative! and referendum
amendent and remind his neighbors to
mark "their I ballots. , .A .blank ballot
may. bt counted against if the same as
though 'it was marked now '
The rule Is almost universal . that
when: a measure la submitted to the
people it must have: only a majority
of those who vote on the question. But
the Constitution of Oregon Is peculiar
and it Is quite possible that- before any
amendment can be adopted a majority
of all the voters must vote yes even; if
not one votes no. Therefore it is Im
portant that every friend of the Initi
ative and referendum amendment shall
vote. " ; ' - : ' . "
. I '
If the proposed initiative and refer
endum amendment to the Constitution
shall be defeated by, stay-at-homes and
careless voters neglecting to mark
their ballot, 4 while a, very large major
ity of those who do vote on the ques
tion vote In Its favor,' It will greatly
Intensify the demand ' for a Constitu
tional convention. , - V
. A Constitutional convention and a
new Constitution is one of, the most
costly events in the life t of a state.
This is not only because of the agita
tion and dlsturbtince of business, but
also because , of the complete, changes
commonly made In the organic law,
and the destruction of a large part of
the state laws settled by the courts. If
the people understand -that In practice
it is not possible to amend the Consti
tution of Oregon It will-be impossible
to long escape a Constitutional con
vention. Therefore it ls very Import
ant that every man who does not want
'the dangers and agitation of such a
convention should not only iVote but
initiative and referendum amendment.
The proposed Initiative and refer
endum amendment to the Constitution
must probably have from forty-five to
fifty thousand votes In Its favor, even
though there . is not one . vote cast
against ft. The man who favors It and
does not votp for ; it Is likely to be
counted against it Just as though he
voted no. . , ' w . ' '
. The proposed Initiative and referen
dum amendment to the Constitution Is
very simple. It does not abolish the
Ifi!ature'but it does make the whole
body of Votersr af supreme legislative
. body. It gives About five thousand
roters power to refer to the people a
. WU passed -by the legislature, and It
fives the same power to the legisla
ture, it gives about eight thousand
voters: the ' same power to- Introduce
a measure before the people for their
vote that one Senator or one Repre-

THE PRUNE QUESTION

The Willamette Valley Prune -Asso

-through the columns of the Oregon tan

I. Lang, in which he challenged .the
Willamette Valley prune Association,

BEING SENT OUT BY THE
i - : '
sentative has to Introduce a bill in the
legislature. Any, proposed law sub
mitted to the people by the legislature
or by petition must have a majority
vote of the people before-Itla adopted.
There are no special elections on laws
unless ordered by the , ; legislature.
There Is no expense to the taxpayers,
because the petitioners must pay all
the expenses of their ' petition. The
amendment gives a majority of the
people power to make any law inde
pendent of the legislature, and to -veto
or repeal anjract of. the legislature.
All friends of the Initiative iand ref
erendum should lose no time from now
on until the polls close on the evening
of June 2, in setting forth the advant

VALUE OF REFERENDUM,
Unanimous Swiss Opinion.
Prof. Frank Parsons an eminent au.
uiuruy n me reierenaum, nas re- i
turned from an extensive trip to Eu
rope, and says; J
"In Switzerland, where the referen
dum and Initiative s have been so
many years In use, the people are now
substantially a unit 4 their favor.
They have proved so useful in check
ing corruption ; and , controlling mon
opoly, ao wisely conservative and In
telllgentiy progressive, that even those
who strongly opposed the referendum
before its adoption are now convinced
of Its value. . .
' "I was recently in Switzerland for
several weeks visiting nearly "all the
most Important cities and talking with
men of every class heads of govern
ment departments, presidents of cities,
college professors, hotel j proprietors,
secretaries of chambers of commerce,
lawyers, doctors. business; ' men and
working-men of every description and
I did not find one man who wishes to
go back'to the old plan.of final legis
lation by elected : delegates without
chance ; of appeal to the people. , I
talked with men whose pet Ideas had
been turned down by the referendum,
and with men who were .strongly op
posed to important measures adopted
by the people, the nationalization of
the railways, for example. but they
were "all convinced that on the whole
the referendum was a good thing the'
people- made j some mistakes, ' they
thought, but they did far; better than
a legislature acting free of the' popu
lar veto. - There are no lobbies, no Jobsv
no machine-legislation; everything is
fair and honest, and even the legisla
tors like it,, because It gives them a
life tenure practically; (since the peo
ple frequently re-elect the legislators
at .the same time that they veto some
of their acts) and, more important still
It lifts the representatives ino a purer
atmosphere, 'add.f to their dignity, in
creases the - popular appreciation of
their services. and frees them from the
suspicions that attach to them under
the lobby-ridden systeih of unguarded
representation or government, by an
elective aristocracy having power by
first vote to make laws the people do
not want. Nothing could be clearer
or more vigorous, than the testimony
of the Swiss people In favor of the ref
erendum." 1

We give the exact figures upon which
settlements have been, made with the
members, all of whom, it Is needless to
.say, are well satisfied wtth the result of
the year's business. The opening sales
of the association werejnude ata 3-cerr
basis, and) we beUve all the prunes in
the Northwest could i have; as , easily
gone Into consumption this season at
that wice as at the wretchedly low
figures which prevailed; ; : i
t The wnnimer has generally paid as
much for the Oregon prunes this year
as he ever did. We are assured by the
best handlers of our. brand,! of prunes
tht they have been uniformly aaUs
fled with our pick this year, and that
they expect to handle from 50 to 100
per cent more next . year. This, ; of
course, will depend to some extent oi
whether we wlB "be able to. compete
with the ruinously low prices of Mr.
Lang and others, assuming that they
will follow the same competitive policy
as that of las year. ;We admit having
lest many orders during the past sea
son because of our unwillingness to sell
as low as some others. If this business
is to be perpetuated throughout the
Northwest, there is need of ratHcai
changes along the line of marketing
and distribution. - -
It is unfortunately true that almost
every.: prunegrower is compelled to re
alize upon his product as soon as It la
cured, and this Is the weak point In the
business. -W growers compete wtut
each other In ur engagements to dis-
pcee of our product, and w believe
that the only salvation for this import
ant industry ts for each district to
form a local- organization ( and equip
themselves for, the proper handling
a rul oacking of the fruit on lines simi
)ar to this association.; Then let us 'aH
unite into, one' single selling agency

yesterday morning the Grand Lodge,

The Grand Encampment " meeting

all present when the committee - on

mittee consisted of Past Grand Repre
sentatives W. ,T. ' Williamson and R.
Scott, and Grand Representative AiW.

adopted by a rising vote, and were or

resolutions, as passed are as follows:
'The Grand Encampment of Oregon.
"Your committee appointed to frame

our deceased brother, T Orin Baiker,
Past Grand -Representative and Past
Grand Patriarch, approach the duty In
the ehadowttof a genuine sorrow'. His
life could riot have been adorned by
the additionof any of tha graces or
embellishments: of social growth; the
regret of his loss cannot find expression
in the ordinary 'terms of sorrow. His
life was the breath of sincerity and
honesty; the clearness of good purpose;
the motion of noble devotion to duty.
His being was thrilled with the. uncon
scious odor of a soul that . scorned to
do a wrong. While his heart throbbed
in warm and kindly sympathy with
distress, or in joy at the gain or pleas
ure of a brother,! t spurned - the cow
ard spirit that cavilled with "truth or
justice, kind bis tongue hesitated not In
the outspoken force of -condemnation.
No temporizing with tha wrong; no
terms with the merest taint of dishon
or; no parleying with the proffered
offices of intrigue or deceit.. Yet be
neath the rugged surface of inflexible
and .austere integrity a kind and gen
ial spirit of strongest-friendships found
lodgment, and rose to greet a brother
with the simple purity of Incense from
the holy altar.
Friendship, Love and Truth were
engraved In letters of light upon his
heart; Faith, Hope and Charity con
genially nestled : in the purity of his
soul. ;. "... - . '. ;
