Section of Article V vests in the

Amendment Method Lax.
AS an illustration of the laxity of

guage used in the amendment would

Asserting that the constitution Of
the state Of Oregon is so completely
at the mercy of the initiative that II
may be amended or abolished at any
election by plurality vote, and
that as 1t now stands 1T Is without
plan or purpose, without uniformity,
full OF contradictions and provisions
that are null and void because in
conflict with the federal institution, .
and that the majority of it's proyi-
sions are being violated every day 80
that 1T is practically a dead letter.
Hon. G. NJ Macarthur, speaekr of the
last session of the legislature, and
now private secretary to Governor
Benson, has launched a vigorous
campaign In favor of constitutional
convention which will have for its
object the revision Of the state CON
stitution.
During the last legislature a bill
was passed authorizing constitu-
sional convention, and 1t will be sub
mftted to the people for their aD-
proval or rejection this fall. Since
then opponents of the movements
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-06-04

have sprung the argument that 1t
was inaugurated for the purpose OF
abolishing the initiative and refer
endum laws, and Mr.. McArthur's
campaign is launched with the view
of showing the falsity OF the srgu-
ment, and nexplaining the necessi.
ty Of a revision of the constitution.
He does the former by citing the
fact that the bill provides that after
the constitution is framed 1t must
be submitted to the people at a
special election for their approval
or rejection, and he clearly demon
strates the necessity of a revised or
new constitution by pointing out the
obsolete provisions in the present
one, and showing how it is subject
to amendment by single initiative
petition, and that in the most hap
hazard and reckless manner. He
shows that four amendments were
submitted to the constitution last
year under the initiative, and that
this year will bring forth another
batch, and predicts that in the event
that they are adopted that the con-

the extent of legislation within their
borders to the exclusion of the
state. The logical sequence of a
judicial Interpretation to such effect
would amount to a recognition of a
sate's Independent right to dlssolu-
ton. 1t would result in the creation
of states within a state, and event
ually in the surrender of all state
sovereignty-all of which is inhib-
tied by section Article w of our
federal constitution"
This is cited as conclusive evil
denee of the laxity of the present
system of the amending the consti-
tuition, and of the fact that Oregon
is in reality without a state consu-
tuition, and must fall back upon the
strong arm of the federal constitu-
ton to protect it from erratical and
fanatical self appointed lawmakers,
who are responsible to no one.
In the event that the voters
should declare in favor of a consti-

stitution will have still greater
resemblance to crazy quilt that It
does now"
Initiative Destroys Distinctions
Prior to the adoption Of the ini-
tiative the distinction between stat
utes and constitutional amendments
was that the amendments we're re-
quired to be submitted to the peo-
pie, while the statutes were infre-
quently submitted TO a popular ref
erendum. It took then a vote of the
legislature at two successive sessions
and a ratification of the electorate
for the adoption of constitutional
amendment. Oregon now places
constitutional legislation under the
initiative and an amendment may be
adopted upon a petition of eight per
cent OF the electors of the state, and
Affirmative majority vote at the
polls. Both amendments and stat
utes may be adopted by initiative
petitions Independent Of the legisla-
tive bodies and the distinction be-
tween statutes and constitutional
amendments in this state has disap-
peared. Most states provide for
eight per cent for an initiative law
and Is per cent for a constitutional
amendment, but in this state it is
the same in each case. Mr.. McAr-
thur believes that 15 per cent
should be required for an initiative
petition, and at least 20 per cent
and so per cent vote at one cleo
tion or majority vote at two success
sive elections for the passage of an
amendment to the constitution.
This he contends will do away with
change e-the-constitution you
wait" method, and render 1t more
difficult for cranks and agitators to
annoy the electorate with their pet
ty and fanatical schemes. Under
the present system, he contends,
that the constitution is completely
at the mercy of single initiative
petitioner-that it may be amended
or be abolished by plurality vote,
and that therefore Oregon is practi-
cally without a constitution.
Some Obsolete Provisions.
One of the provisions of the pres
ent constitution which is pointed out
as being obsolete is section 35 of Ar
ticle 1 which provides that no free
negro or mullatto shall come or re-
side within the state The section
of course, could never be enforced
as it is in violation of the fourteenth
amendment of the federal constitu-
tion. Section of article provides
that negroes and mulattoes and
Cinnamon shall be denied the right
of suffrage, and is contrary to the
same federal amendment.
Section 15 or article provides
for a proportional representation
which is contrary to the American
principle of suffrage-that major
ity shall rule,
