big STICK"

From Bryan'S Commoner:
The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat, re-
publican says: "Mr. Bryan's new
paramount issue is the initiative and
referendum. Oregon has these devic-
es in it's constitution, but considers
them a failure. The word practical
seems to be missing in h Bryan
list"
But Oregon does not consider
them a failure"
For up-to-date information on this
point, read the May ssue of the Pa
cifc Monthly, a magazine published
at Portland, Oregon In that number
the story of the initiative and refer
eadum is told by Lutte Pease, a well
known wester writer.
Announcing the Pease Article, the
Pacific Monthly management says:
1.-The initiative inc referendum is
the law which has placed the state
of Oregon in the very forefront of po-
litical progress-that has changed the
form of government from a represen-
tative government to practically a
pure democracy-and hat has made
corrupt machine politics impossible
by vesting in the people the power of
absolute self government"
Does that sound as though Oregon
considers them a failure?"
Following is an extract from the
Pacific Monthly's announcement of
the Pease article, which is printed un
der the title. "Orego1's Big Stick"
Oregon c~omplacently c%onfronts

Riverton,

A fight to compel William e Gatzmer,
of Tacony, to lay sidewalk here has
been started in the borough Council, and
will be carried to the courts if necessary
to obtain the required Legislation.
Several months ago ordinances were in
troduced to compel the laying of side
walks in different parts of the borough,
but the one on Front street, where the
Gatzmer property is situated, was laid on
the table and an effort was apparently
made to smother" it. for every attempt to
obtain its consideration was opposed
At the last meeting Councilman Mac
Mullen moved that the ordinance be given
first reading, and then the battle started.
MacMullen was backed by Councilman
Major. while Robert Biddle and H. N.
Pancoast opposed the move ON the ground
that it was class legislation and only af-
fected one man. A tie vote resulted and
the ordinance was dropped until the next
meeting, and now both sides are prepar-
ing for the fight.
Councilman MacMullin, speaking of the
dispute, said: "This man Gatzmer has
| fought the borough authorities ever since
the town was first incorporated, and will
do nothing unless compelled to by law
1t is even necessary for the town to lay
his sewer and charge it against the pro-
perty. and if there is any way possible to
force that ordinance through it will be
passed at our next meeting"
Robert Biddle, who is leading the oppo-
sition, said 81 have no personal feeling
in the matter, and opposed the scheme on
the ground that it is class legislation and
not fair to ask the borough to pass laws
to control one man"
Gatzmer's refusal to make improvements
| did not attract much attention from the
borough authorities until some months
ago, when G. Cecil Filter, grandson of
the late ex-Mayor Filter, married one of
the Tobacco Trust, and built one of the
finest mansions ia Riverton. 1t was neces-
sary to spend thousands of dollars to erect a
stone walk along the river bank and fill in

until the workmen reached a little strip OF
land belonging to Gatzmer, when they
were ordered to quit by the owner. Mr.
Filter offered to have the wall built at his
expense, but this was refused and fgh
threatened if his men trespassed TIL,
broken wall remains to-day.
Mr.. Filter and his father-in law, Mr.
, Frshmuth, have tried to buy the land, boil
personally and through agents, but all of
fers haye been refused. and the owner FIRE
quently views his property from across tn
river with a telescope to see if any effor
