HOW TO KILL AN EXPENSIVE ABUSE.
fEBDJ.HOPIIKS. Prop, 37 Brtil Jane Street KmToA
MG TWf.
I Ow Aoflmosl Si

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.

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.
Me declared that the party had come
to him and requested to be placed on
the list and that he hoped the measure
would be passed.
It required unanimous consent and
Councilman Skalfe declined to give It.
What," declared the mayor, "this
man wants to get on the black list
nnts to get sober nnd you mean to
f.ay you won't let him?"
I do not bolleve It would do any
good for I have soon this ordinance
violated," retorted Councilman Skalfe.
Do you think It would do any harm?"
asked the mayor. The councilman ad
mitted that ho did not think It would.
end about this time Councilman Jones
bIbg made an appeal for the Intoxicant
tc get on the list, and Councilman
Skalfe chnnged his vote and today he
sees bis wishes to he declared a com
mon drunkard crowned with success

Finding the fight waged upon him
by Governor West too hot, Charles A.
Northey, mayor of Huntington and
cashier of the Huntington bank has
eslgned both positions and there will
be no necessity for the governor to
take any action in bis case.
uovernor West reprimanded Nor
they severely for his failure to en
force the laws against gambling, baw
dy house and the saloons and de
clared he was considering the advlsl-
blllty of asking for IiIb resignation as
n.n.vor, and that he would do what he
could as a member of the banking
commission to bring about his dis
charge from the bank.
The governor last night upon being
advised of the resignation of Northey
declared that ho had expected It and
that unless others Identified with the
enforcement of the lnw In that town
did their duty, their resignations
would ho forthcoming. Ho declared ho

WILL YIELD HEAVILY
Mr. A. W. Prescott, who owns a
fruit farm of 20 acred two and one-
half flli-s northwest of Salem on the-
Oak drove road, has 15 acres of
prunes that glvo promise of an ex
ceptionally heavy yield. Ist year
'.Is orchard produced 44,000 pounds
of dried fruit and this season the
prospect Is for a slightly better yield,
which means that from the 15 acres a
crop of at least 60,000 pounds will be
produced. The trees in this orchard
are from 15 to 20 years old and con
sidering that the prune crop this year
Is light, this Is tho heaviest crop yet
reiorted.
Mr. Prescott also has five acres of
apples on his farm that glvo promise
of a heavy yield.
The owner, who Is private secretary
to V. S. Senator liourne, Jr., is still
