A LETTER REFUSED
BY THE "OREGONIAN"
Following from tho pon of Lovl
"V. Myers was sent to tho Orogonlnn
but rofusod publication, becntiBO it
eo cotnplotoly knocks out soma of tho
arguments of that newspaper. Mr.
Myora wna a ilelognto to tho con
voution that nominated Abraham
Lincoln for president, and is a llfe
lnnir HintDOi'lnt' nf Rnntihllrinn nrln-
ciplcs. Mr. Myers writes as follows
on tho topic "Legislators Must Re
present tho Peoplo":
Legislators Must Represent Peoplo.
Portland, Dec. 2. To tho Editor
of Tho Journal It is said, "Nothing
is moro cortnln than that tho con
stitution of tho United States re
quires tho election of senators by
tho legislatures of tho states." Yes,
certainly, ami no sane person dis
putes it. That is, tho mombors of
tho legislatures cast tho ballots that
olect tho United States Bonators. But
tho question nrlBcs, where did tho
members of the legislature got tho
powor or right to cast these ballots,
and undor what circumstances and
limitations? Whoso interests and
whoso wolfaro do theso ballots rep
roncnt7 Docs tho ballot ropresont
tho Individual Judgment or interest
of tho legislator alono, or docs ho
cast It as tho representative of tho
peoplo who voted for him and put
him In ofTlco? Whom docs a mem
ber of tho legislature ropresont;
himself, or tho votors who put him
thoro? Is ho a Rovm-olim mul Inw.
glvor from his porsonal standpoint,
or is ho an ngont of tho peoplo who
oloctod him, and hound to obey tholr
known will?
A good deal has boon said about
roprosontativo government ,nnd that
is tho form of government wo havo,
but in tho paBt, tho roprosontntlvo
nan, in too many eases, represented
IiIh own porsonal Interests rathor
than tho Interests of thc mon who
charged him with tno duty of rep
rosontlng thorn, and an effort 1b now
bolng made to get back to tho roal
roprosontatlon of tho wholo pooplo
by mombors who go as .public sorv
nntB to tho loglBlatlvo bodlos. Tho
thought that tho legislators, as soon
iib tho ballots aro countod that olect
him to olllco, Immediately becomos a
sovorelgii, roHponslblo to nobody but
hlmsolf, or his own personal Inter
ests, is fallacious in tho extreme. It
Is, In dood, subversive of our wholo
form of govornmont. If a mattor
should como up Mn a loglslatlvo
body that had boon unforeseen and
unprovldod for, tho ngont or ropro
sontativo might, with proprioty act
on his own Judgment, but in ovory
enso whoro ho hnd boon instructod
by his constituents, ho Is bound by
ovory principle of honor known to
men to ropresont thorn fnithfully nml
well.
Nor Is thoro anything in tho con
fitlttttlou of tho United States, or
tho stato of Oregon, or any other
Btato, to provont tho pepplo from In
structing fholr representatives as to
what thoy want dono, in tho mattor
of oloctlng a United Stntos sonator,
or In any othor matter whatovef,
Tho peoplo havo a perfect and unob
Btructed right to Instruct tholr rep
resentatives and tho nliresontatlves
aro bound in honor to oboy, in all
Horts of stato affairs. In fact, ovory
party platform is instruction to leg
islators, and certainly a logal olec
tlon, as that of Juno laBt, Is as pos
Hlvo Instruction as could bo thought
of. To disregard It would, lndeod,
bo subvorBivo to roprosontativo gov
ornmont. Somehow It must be
beaten out of tho bonds of prodntory
politicians that a publics olllco la n
prlvuto snap and that its emoluments
and poworu aro to bo usod for pur
poses of porsonal plundor rathor
than for tho good of tho gonoral pub
lie, and right now, nnd in Oregon. Is
na good a tlmo nnd placo as will ovor
occur to tost tho lasuo thus ralrly
made. Ib tho ngont bound to do tho
work of tho principal. Is tho quostlon
in sumo. Appiy ii to business, in
tho legislature, or anywhoro olso.
Who shall boss tho Job, tho employer
or tho employe?
Tho "povvor" to cast n vote In n
loglslatlvo body Hob wholly with tho
legislator, and tho constitution's, both
stnto and national, put IfMioro, but
tho legislator must not uso that
"power" for hla own porsonal bon
etlt, nnd ns against tho public good,
and ho dare not disregard tho known
wishes of tho peoplo who gavo him
toe "powor" to cast that ballot. That
"power" Is not hla personal asset.
It belongs to tho public whom ho
is bound to Borvo, undor tho forms of
inw.
It 1b absolutely cortain that Ore
