munlfW INITIATIVEAND REFERENDUM INOREGON (Portland Oregonian.) i » M l f » W » M I M M ! (NM)W H . It is. junt as well, irulcetl it is uoo | essary., tint the feoplo of Oregon | should be candid with themselves | about the change of tlio constitution of the state from the representative to tho initiative and referendum s.vs- tent. Were it to he offered tujaiu it would not i-arry. Impatience v4th {ihuaea could have been corrected by insistence on the character of repre- ' sontatives, under the o il system. li­ the* new system a new sort of nbuscia pr evils has been introduced, with no present means of, correction,- . It was not intended that represen­ tative government should he abolish­ ed by the new system; hut It has been abolished by it. Any group of persons, from the cave of Adullun*,. or other groups of persona of 11! ar­ ranged- intellects can- propose initia­ tive measures, or call the referen­ dum; and there Is danger always that the crudest measures may pass into - law, through the inattention of the voters, or that proper legislative measures may be turned down through the referendum. .The situa­ tion Is the craplt’s paradise, ~~N Theoretically the system is plaus­ ible, and seems quite right. But it * doesn’t prove so in fa c t.. It opens,a door to eveTy-description of .’’rational legislation and obstruction. It - pre­ supposes a forbearance, balance, judgment and wisdom not s ifficient- ly established . yet, anywhere. Per- ■,;haps our ancestors, who committed themselves to representative 'govern­ ment, and. Who supposed they Were establishing it for the benefit of their ., posterity, were' not, so groat fools,- ■after all, Now, however,, we are. obliged to be - vigilant and'active, in every election, to keep crazy initiative measures like the new scheme of taxation down; and ,to defeat such calls of referen­ dum" as that foi;. starvation of the leading educational Institutions "of the state. The system does not work out in action'and .practice, as those who voted for it supposed it would. It could not have been supposed there would be so many groups of persons- devoted to -trange and multifarious crazes. Yet there remains a sane majority. That majority would not now, after It has gained this knowl- - edge, vote for a system which proves - to be- the negative of representative and deliberative government. ' Against the primary law, which is', part,of the new system, there is Jess objection. Such objection as may be made to it, rests on the fact that it too, rejects the, representative prlnci- ■pie, ,and presents as party nominees men' who do' not represent their party, b u t . merest fractions or fac- tiona or fragments of it.' This, how-- ever, may -be borne, and perhaps may. correct itself in time. But when it presumes to foist upon a law t state­ ment or pledge, to be taken, by a -, candidate for the legislature, that lie will support for the highest political’ office, in a contingency likely to arise, a man of the opposite political - party, it goes to the extreme of Irra­ tionality and absurdity, The man of good sense spits at the •whole scheme, Representative government, after all, is a pretty’ goad thing. Oregon will yet return to it. Advocates and, supporters /of representative govern­ ment, these thousand years, have not been such fools as ,our new states­ manship may assert, A hoodoo of spiritism founded by an adventurer upon the wreck of the estate of a pioneer family is not going t> hist in ■- Oregon. ....... PLACING MB. BIGELOW Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, pastor of a- ‘‘liberal*’ church without a creed or an edifice in Cincinnati, is traveling over the state In the Interest of the inltiatve rnc- referendum. Nor yearo Mr. Bigelow was Tom Johnson’s paid missionary for the "single tax” cause and he is still under saJajy In tho same behalf. All his efforts for the initiative and referendum are regard­ ed by him as steps toward the single tax. Mr. Bigelow, who was the Dem­ ocratic candidate for secretary of state a few years ago, is mote poli­ tician than preacher. This is written With a view to placing him right with tho people he solicits. He is acting within his rights except that ho should not give the Impression that he IS doing volunteer service, or trav­ el in the disguise of a minister of the Gospel, when carrying on hia propa­ ganda. Mr. Bigelow is a Socialist Jby conviction and interest, a ready talk­ er, an eager scrapper and jusHy com­ mands a good salary for his political labors.—Marlon Star. free DELEGATES needed Whims and fads are by no means desired in the coming constitution of Ohio. It wJH be found desirable to make it so "safe and satis’’ that tho people of the state will ratify the document at the polls,. That is tho feature necessary and that is the point to be considered, Between now and election time there must he a great deal of educational woik done and It Is necessary to see that H ia voters understand, tho difference be­ tween progressive ideas which are merely whims arid progressive ideas which Will be for tho best interests *>t the entire ctftte. --tit)cyrus Journal.
