HOW TO KILL AN EXPENSIVE ABUSE. fEBDJ.HOPIIKS. Prop, 37 Brtil Jane Street KmToA MG TWf. I Ow Aoflmosl Si fj I Many persons are asking The Capital Journal what to do about the 38 measures to be voted on under the initiative and referendum. In the past this paper has tried to discriminate and tell people what to do in this matter. As a rule, we have advised killing all but a few measures. But we confess to a feeling of wishing to shirk the responsi bility. We have Reen as a result of the system that offices, laws and taxes multiply. It would take a good lawyer about thirty days to read, digest wiii come w any conclusion on ino tnirty-eignt bills proposed An ordinary citizen not skilled in laws and constitutions can not make out what they are all about. He has not time to read, consider or to act intelligently. There is no safety for the citizen but to vote against the abuse of the system. It is cumbersome, expensive, unsatisfactory, dangerous, ridic ulous in the opinion of many. If no law were initiated until the great mass of the people really demanded it, there would be few on the ballot. Most of the laws on the ballot are the work of public officials who use the people's time and money to propose laws. These thirty-eight bills will cost for the printing of the same, and arguments in voters' pamphlets, extra ballot and election expenses, a quarter of a million dollars. It is not the system, but the abuse, that voters should strike at. The cost does not Btop with the expenses of the election, but goes on forever. Many of these bills create new offices, commissions, taxes, license fees, etc. A few of these bills might be desirable, or even beneficial, if enacted. But if the people ennct only a small percent, all the rest will come back two years hence to plague them. The only way to abolish an abuse is to give it a knockout blow. Voters argue, if we kill them all, good, bad and indiffeerent, we will save direct legislation from abolition. If we let this go on, next year there will be one hundred crazy propositions on the ballot. It will cost us half a million dollars taxes merely for printing and expenses, and all the coat of the politicians come back to us. The people would be satisfiedto vote on a few bills each elec tion. But the wholesale manufacture of laws has got to be stopped. It has become a public nuisance. Is there any way to check this abuse and preserve the initia tive and referendum but by killing all the bills? If not, vote no on every bill. If there is a way we would like to be shown. A newspaper is too small to publish the bills, or even to com ment on them fully and intelligently. More and more citizens are deciding to vote no on all measures. THE ROUND-UP Charles C.

' Fon SkWTHE CUKE THAT'S SURE HAS A HARD TIME GETTING HIMSELF ON BLACK LIST A rather amusing Incident arose when an ordinance was Introduced by Mayor tachmund to have a certain person In the city declared a common drunkard and placed on the block list.
