THE COST or INITIATIVE LAWS
w. s. U'Ren Makes Itemized State
ment of Expenses.

William S. U'Ren, the father of the
initiative and referendum, takes issue
with the statements that have been
published regarding the cost of voting
under the law, says the Oregon City
Herald. Mr.. U'Ren has carefully
computed the cost of initiative and
referring legislative measures to the
people under the act of 1907, which
repeals the act of 1908. He admits
that the postage expense in sending
printed matter all over the state to
100000 voters will be $4,000. but be
says that the cost of printing would
be $3636 for 100 pages of measures,
figuring on 100000 copies, which is
one-third more than has ever been
printed. He says the binding will
cost $4,000 and the paper $1563.
The experience of Mr.. U'Ren stands
him in good stead in figuring on this
matter. He bases the cost Of address
ingand filing 100000 envelopes at
$4 per 1000, totaling $4,000. The en-
velopes can be supplied and printed
for $5 per 1000, or $4,000, and he he
lieves tina, the cost of securing the
names and postoffice addresses of 100.-
900 voters will not exceed $500. Mr..
U'Ren's figures summarized are as fol-

against Hummel And in regard 10 Stelnhardt
said: THE defendant Benjamin Stenhardt IS
dead. The actions against him therefore nbate d"
Dodge, he said. was accepted witness for the
people. and without his testimony Il would prob
ably have been impossible to convict Hummei. Ha
