DIRECT LEGISLATION.
What the Initiative and Referendum
Have Done In Oregon.

What the Initiative and Referendum
Have Done In Oregon.
Under rae system OF direct leglsla-
ton. or the initiative and referendum.
the people OF Oregon voted on eleven
measures IN 1906, adopting eight and
rejecting three. This shows that the
voters Disseminated, and not one bad
measure was adopted.
AS showing how the referendum can
break the power over lawmaking ex-
ercised by monopoly upon legislatures
two acts adopted by the people Of Ore
gon are cited:
The Oregon state grange initiated a
measure requiring sleeping car compa-
mics, refrigerator car companies, oil
companies and express companies,
which had been escaping taxation, to
pay into the state treasury 3 per cent
Of their gross earnings within the
state. When referred to the people
this measure was adopted by vote Of
69,5S0 to 6,44o, or nearly eleven to one.
The legislature had refused to levy a
per cent tax.
The grange also took up bill tax
ing telephone and telegraph companies
1 per cent, which the legislature had
refused to pass. increased the tax rate
to 2 per cent and submitted the amend
ed bill to the people. 1t was adopted
by vote OF T0,s72 to 6.3G0
During the year 1908 the people Of
Oregon have voted through the refer
endum on nineteen measures. OF these
twelve were adopted and seven reject
ed. The official returns show that as
high as IS per cent Of the vote cast for
governor has been recorded for and
against a proposed law. showing that
the people take an interest in lawmak-
Ing, and the results also prove that
they understand what they are voting
on.
Summed up, the experience Of Ore
gon shows concluslveIy that the refer
endum is the method by use Of which
tho baneful influence OF monopolies
and trusts may be destroyed in our
lawmaking assemblies.

Back in Business.

We have enjoyed the Yulletide cheer,
the turkey and the mince;
And lived as royalty, It's clear, az
potentate or prince.
But now for other things we seek, for
palmer fare we call;
When one has had it for week, the
best begins to pail.
Plain fare will for plain man do; on
solid grub he leans.
And pins his staneh allegiance to
prosaic beef and beans.
