It seems to be anything with tho legislature and tho official element to knock out the Referendum and mako It inoperative. When will this revolutionary process of defeating tho will of tho peo ple and overthrowing the safeguards of tho taxpayer cease? Possibly when Oregon undergoes a complete political overthrow.

So great is this pros perity that tho most ardent of demo cratic newspapers admit it as freoly and seem to dwell upon It with as much pleasuro as their republican contemporaries.

Tho total amount lovlod thlB year in Marlon county Is nearly $350, 000. Ah thoro nro no longer political county or stato conventions permit tpd THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE TAXPAYER TO ACT AND LAY DOWN A LIMIT. Of courso this Idea will bo dlscourngud by tho machine polltlclnn, but ho is tho fellow who Ib coating tho pooplo so much monoy. Tho time has como for n gonornl movomout nnd It can't como too quick nor hard to hold down tho growing spirit of oxtravagnnco.

It Ib not surprising that Mr. U'Uon favors knocking out all tho Refer endum petitions filod by tho farmors on puroly technical grounds. Without their knowlodgo and consent, or oven consulting tho loadors of tho Granges. MR. V'REN DRAFTED A NEW AND COMPLICATED REFERENDUM LAW. It changes tho procedure and incroasos tho exponso of tho Inltljtivo and Roforuudum so as to mako It almost a dead letter. Thou whon tho Urangos and tho farmors got up threo Referendum pe titions AGAINST THREE OF THE GREATEST GRAFT MEASURES THHV ARE STOPPED. Sovoral of tho multltudo of technicalities havo not boon compllod with nnd thoy cannot ovon fllo thoso potl-tlons without litigation. Tho matter is referred to tho Attornoy General, but ho has gono off on n fishing trip. Tho Secretary of Stnto Is In California, and tho olorks nro at a loss what to do. All throo acts nro aimed at rampant officialism enacting laws TO BENEFIT ITSELF AND INCREASE ITS OWN GRAFTS. Uudor Mr, U'Ron'a wondorful law officialism has tho power to say to tho pooplo, you shall not voto on thoso matters. Tho Inltlatlvo and Referendum aro rights embodied In tho constitution itself, and yet officialism has a tinkering legislature that vlolatos tho con stitution at ovory turn It can block tho pooplo. How far will this farce bo carried? Thoro nro enough names on thoso potltlons to carry the next election, nnd thoro will bo a political revolt IF THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO VOTE ON THESIS GRAFT BILKS IS DENIED THEM. As tho mattor stands, tho state afflcials seem to be afraid to act on Tho aldo of the pooplo. Tkey are all apparently standing pat 'with the -grafting Interests that the people Want to get a whack at. Citing n Cose.
