It Is based on cold facts, for, while politicians of a certain class are wont to liefer to the United States as “tbe granary of the world." statis tics show that so fur from "feeding the -starving hordes of Europe" this coun­ try is rapidly being outdistanced In agricultural production by- the suppos; edly -effete nations Of the older conti­ nent. !Not only”is It true that the farm output of the United States has failed to keep pace with the growth in popu- ‘ Jatlon, but it Is equally the ease also that as compared with the countries of - Europe we .are losing ground steadily as an agricultural nation.

His multiform Activities Iriive him little time,to sub­ mit to Interviewers, but he Is willing always to talk about his hobby, scien­ tific agricultural production, “Old fashioned, slipshod methods of ' producing wheat and cotton and corn are still In vogue in over 05 per cent of the country devoted to these indus­ tries,” said Dr. Wiley,' continuing his impeachment' of our lax farming methods. •‘The growing of these crops until within a few years could pot bate been ranked as agriculture, but abottid bate been described as highway robliery of the soil. As a re* ttult the average production per sere of these crops has fallen to a mint ttittttb "Farming, fo r one thing, must be mgde jaiore attractive, i t shouki be made mors profitable.. This will bp dope a t our farmers learn more thor­ oughly the principles of intensive culti­ vation and grit a knowledge of the hiotbod# of feeding the soil and of the rotation of crops. »To this end I have been preaching fu r tiw i* * t th irty years the gospel of lb# beef, ' Oregon, with Its initiative, referen­ dum and recall and its successful device for nullifying the constitution .of tbe United States with respect to the election of senators, la confinu- Ally held up h'efo 'e us by the “Pro­ gressive” prophets as a “model state,” where the people . do really “rule.” In Oregon, we are told, it is not possible for '“sordid interests” to de­ feat the will of the people til legis­ lation, nor for “hide-bound" courtB to thwart their laudable desires for “so­ cial betterment.” There is the recall for judges; there is the initiative with which to get “good” legislation; there is the referendum to stop “bad” legislation. Oregon haB all the panaceas in full bloom and vigor. Yet a record before us shows how.with all these panaceas the spite of one .petty community has held up the will of the people of Ore­ gon for a year, has crippled their State. university and has put . the state to the expense of a general elec­ tion in order to be able to do for the State university what an overwhelm­ ing majority of the people undoubted­ ly approve. The underlying facts are1 briefly as follows; Eugene Is the county seat of Lane county. The inhabitants of Cottage Grove desired tor their town the benefits of being a county B eat So they proposed to divide Lane county, that their town might he the capital of tile new county to be thus created. At an election held on the question the proposal for division was de­ feated. The Cottage Grovers, perhaps cor­ rectly, attributed the blasting of their hopes to the Eugeners. They Bet about to get revenge, They found in the great and admirable Oregon refer­ endum Taw’an instrument made ready to ' their hands. / Eugene is ‘also the seat of the State university, an in­ stitution confessed on all hands to be doing excellent work, hut sorely’ in need of Increased accommodations for the young people of the state. ,r Go thq. Cottage Grovers ^demanded u-’referendum on the legislature's ap­ propriations for the support and en­ largement of the .university- As the proposal did not. seem, particularly popular they went up to Portland and hired a person named Parkinson to get signatures to their referendum petition, at 3.6 cents each. Mr. Fark- InBon is an Oregon upllfter- who has organized a new industry—-that of getting, signatures for petitions. Parkinson got the signatures.. He got 13,000, though only 6,136 were re­ quired. Parkinson's agents got over 6.000 signatures by the easy method of manufacturing them.. That has been proved’ in open court, Over 6.000 of the remaining 7,000 were not put on the petition as the law re­ quires, - The law .prescribes the form of the petition. Each sheet must contain a full and correct copy pf the measure on which, the. referendum is demand­ ed. There must not be more, than 20 signatures on &, sheet. The t plain in-, ,tent of the law is that the voter shall haye right under his eye, when sign­ ing, what he is signing. Over 6,000 names secured by Park­ inson for the Cottage Grovers had apparently ' been written on blank sheets which were afterwards gath­ ered together and attached to a copy ,of .the act. Yet the supreme court of Oregon—having the fear of the recall before its eyes—has declared this a Valid petition, on which the univer­ sity appropriations must he held up until an election can he held and the .people pass on the question. However, let us note that Mr. Justice CEakln dissented vigorously from this conclusion, * Yet as the law of Oregon now stands the ihdustry of collecting sig­ natures in support of aftjr sort’of an initiative, referendum or recall peti­ tion hat apparently the sanction of the state’s highest, court And-the Oregon case shows what an Illusion is the saying that “you can't corrupt, the whole people,” You can’t corrupt them, hut you can befool, confuse and deceive them and obstruct all govern­ ment by the methods of “direct” leg­ islation. For' a year the pebplo of Oregon are not ruling with respect to their State university. The malice of the Cottage Grovers and the promotion of It by ParklnBon and his agents are ruling. And this in Oregon, the “model commonwealth!" Queer, isn't it, how these devices . for getting “good government" automatically- Work when put ort trial?—The inter- ocean.

The others ho char­ acterized as either vicious, or unnec­ essary because already provided for In the present constitution or by laws passed in pursuance thereof. It is refreshing in these days of po­ litical unrest to hear from one whose motives cannot he questioned and who has no personal ambition to at­ tain and no personal interest to Berve other than the welfare of the wholo people to serve. ' After a long and honorable public career, both in war and peace, dur­ ing which he has given the public the benefit Of his abilities and patriotic service, Judge Wickham is voluntar­ ily retiring to a richly deserved rest. For these reasons his views will have weight with all thinking men. He served several terms in congress and many years on the bench, and he speaks from the standpoint of one who has giv?n a lifelong study to constitutional and other questiofr.. In discussing the proposed Consti- tutlohal amendments, Judge Wick­ ham said: “in the first place, it is preposter­ ous to expect the great mass of vot­ ers in Ohio to study the 42 .proposed constitutional amendments and vote understandingly Or intelligently wlu n only five weeks* time is given for such study. -. “Mr. Bigelow and his associates who controlled the Convention were evidently afraid to submit their So­ cialistic and revolutionary proposals to an aroused and enlightened public sentiment. For that reason they pro­ vided for thb submission of the many questions a t an early special elec­ tion. If they had confidence in the Intelligence of the people why- did they not submit the proposals at the general election In November, when all the voters would participate? Their answer is that the people Would be confused if the discussion os the amendments should be carried Into A regular campaign, Do ' they distrust the intelligence of tho Vot­ ers? Tire; teal reason for their ac­ tion was that th?y were afraid ihat ® thS election were not held for six dionfhs' or later, the voters would have.time to study,the many pro­ posals- and vote them down, That is *the only, reasonable explanation tor their apparent desire, to submit the questions as,quickly as possible, pnd thus permit a small, hut organ­ ized minority Of the people to write Socialism and confusion .into the or­ ganic law. “Not being satisfied with’ calling for n special election on the ques­ tions at an early date, Mr. Bigelow and hits associates also concocted a cunning scheme to further fopl and delude the voters. They'prepared a ‘pamphlet containing the proposed amendmefits and under each proposal they printed an alleged, explanation which, In' maiiy cases, not only does not explain, bat seeks to actually de- , colvC. Only the titles of the amend­ ments will appear on the ballot, so thoso titles were so Worded as. to at- ■ tract the votes of those who had not had the opportunity to study each amendment. All of this would be bad enough If Bigelow and his as­ sociates had gone into their own 'pockets to pay-for the printing of de­ ceptive and misleading literature but instead of that they are dipping into the state treasury to pay for their campaign literature. Think o' the imposition Of it! Compelling tar and every other taxpayer In Ohio to pay for the publication of arguments in behalf o f . constitutional amend- ' ments to many of which we are abso­ lutely opposed. “Again," he said, “many of the proposed amendments are legislation pure and simple and not basic propo ,sitlons such only As should find theh ,way into a constitution; And Borne oi -them are wholly unnecessary, nsthr cndB they seek are now fully attain jable under the present constitution. ; “With the exception of the woman suffrage amendment and those pro vidlng for tho appointment of stiper lntettdents of public instruction and of public works, the amendments pro ; posed are an affront to the people ol the state and a cimningly devised scheme to deceive Add delude tht voters, "It seems to me that the only eafl way for the average voter, Who hai not had time in the midst pf tht cares of his occupation, to -study and understand the far-reaching ef feet of the amendments, is to vote *No' upon ail of them, the meaning 01 which is not clear and satisfactory tt him. When in doubt, vote them down." 99 ! Serious It is a very serious matter toAik for one medicine and have the wrong one given you.
