"Since the people have adopted a constitutional provision," said Senator Bourne today, "permitting eight per cent of the voters to propose a law un der the Initiative and to demand the referendum upon a measure by peti tion of five percent of the voter, I fee' that this petition of 12 per cent of the voters of Oregon is a call '.o which I ought to respond."
