What Direct Legislation accomplished in
OREGON.

The following report of William s.
U'Ren to the Direct Legislation
League of the state of Oregon on
what direct legislation has accom-
plished in that state, is of great in
terest to the voters of Arizona who
by the support of the democratic
ticket at the polls on September u,
have an opportunity to make the
same conditions possible here:
Answering your question, "What
have the people of Oregon accom-
plished with the initiative and refer
endum?" 1 set down the following
facts:
l. They have made a direct pri-
mary nominating elections law that
is much more satisfactory in it's re-
suits than was the old convention
plan.
,. They have adopted practical
methods of selecting their United
States senator's, securing election by
the legislature of the candidates
selected by the people, thereby abol-
ishing the greatest single source of
corruption, waste and confusion in
the legislature.
3. They have destroyed the politi-
cal machine and the job of the party
bosses.
4. They haye abolished railroad
passes within the state for public
officers as well as for private indi-
viduals.
5. They have deprived the graft
ers' sale of franchises in Portland
and other cities.
6. They have deprived the legis-
lature of power to call a constitu-
tional convention without the peo-
pies approval on the referendum
vote.
:. They. have given cities home
rule in charcher-making
8. They have taught the legisla-
ture to respect the constitutional
provision against putting special APP
preparations in the general appro-
priation bill.
9. They have added the recall to
the constitution, giving the people
the power to discharge state and
local officers who prove to be incom-
petent or untrustworthy.
10. They have passed laws reject
ed by the legislature for taxing GER
tain corporations.
IL. They have made a stringent
law against the excessive use of
money in elections; a law which is
designed. so far as money is con-
Cerned, to put poor man on an
equal footing with a rich man in
seeking public Office. 1t limits candi-
dates to an expense hardly exceed
ing one-fourth of a years salary in
the office sought and the state bears
large part of the outlay in the dis
tribution of literature for parties
and candidates.
u. They have made start to-
ward projecting and preserving sal
mon and sturgeon in the-Columbia
river and its tributaries.
ID. They are developing a sense of
individual responsibility for the sue
cess of self-government in Oregon,
such as most men never felt when
the legislature had the exclusive
right to make laws and propose con-
stitutional amendments.
IA. In addition to the above list of
results, other measures have been
secured and the people have rejected
eleven measures, some proposed by
initiative and some proposed by the
legislature. WILLIAM S. U'REN.

not sufficient laws on its statute
books, if enforced but what will put
an end to all evils alleged against the
dispensing Of liquor. Considering the
bad influence of keeping the country
aroused on the question of prohibition
l. seems not only foolish but criminal
to continue to urge it. Prohibitionists
would render valued service to the
cause they pretend to favor If they
would direct their efforts to law en-
forcement and assist in the considera-
tion and in securing of laws, where
they are deemed necessary, that actu
ally promise to promote temperance.
1t is a pity that prejudice and false
ideas blind the adherents of prohibit
ton from seeing their plain path of
duty. Continuing TO urge prohibition
they are only an aggravating and re
tarding influence in the promotion of
temperance. This statement may be
harsh, but it is nevertheless true.

ment allays agitation against 1t and in
the newer states stimulated effort in
favor of repeal.
This is a slight reflection of public
sentiment on the theory of prohibition.
Does 1t need more bold handwriting
on the wall to indicate that the public
is convinced against the prohibition
fallacy Unless every sign fails prohi-
bition will be thrown overheard with
in few years in most of the states
where it now prevails. There Is no
doubt that there is a strong prejudice
in favor of it's retention, If successful
or not. If it is repealed in spite of
this prejudice and sand throwing by
its strong adherents, it is pretty good
pronounced inefficacy and bad in
fluence. 1t Is rare that laws that have
been given fair trial and found want
ing are ever re-enacted. 1t Is the
height of folly to continue agitation in
favor of prohibition. It's only influence
as at present will be to retard the
calm consideration of measures that
promise a reasonable solution of the
liquor question. Yet more, detract
from the necessity of the strict en-
forcement Of the existing laws govern

yention, adopted a resolution favoring
resubmission and reports are favorable
to its candidate for governor being
elected, or at least greatly reducing
the regular republican majority. Re-
submission is sure 10 come. 1t is only
opposed because it is believed that if
the people secured the right to vote
on the question prohibition would be
taken out of the constitution. 1t Is
only laXity of enforcement that has
prevented resubmission and repeal of
prohibition in the state of Maine be-
fore this. This can also be said of the
state of Kansas and South Dakota.
Every spasm of enforcement brings
threats of repeal and consequent abate-
ment. 1t is constantly manifested in
the vote for officers who make an at
tempt to enforce the prohibition laws.
They are either refused a renomina-
tion by their parties or IL renominated
reelected by crafty reduced majorities.
This Hypocrisy cannot long continue
in the face Of the rising tide of public
opinion against prohibition. In respect
to the influence of enforcement and
non-enforcement, the states that have
recently adopted prohibition differ

prohibition policy, on account of the
rising public opinion against it began
TO fear that it probably would soon be
repealed by it's legislature and they
influenced a vote of the people on an
amendment to the constitution 10 for
ever prohibit the manufacture and sale
readily be repealed 1t was defeated
/ in February last by over a three 10
one vote and only four out of the sixty
some odd counties in the state voted
in favor of it and then only by small
majorities. Since then the democratic
/ Iarty has nominated a candidate for
governor who favors the repeal OF its
prohibition law over a candidate who
strongly advocated its retention. The
best opinion in the state tends TO the
belief that Alabama will also repeal
its prohibition law at the next session
OF its legislature.
In the state of Tennessee discussion
is red-hot on the question. The demo-
cratic convention adopted the follow
ing resolution on the liquor question:
We condemn the compulsory prohi-
bition bill as a gross invasion of the
rights of local self-2overnment, right
always held sacred by the democratic
party. We declare by thus destroying
much needed revenue this law has in
creased the burden of the taxpayers;
that it has failed signally in applica-
tion or operation, and on the contrary
has been and is the producer OF in
temperance, the creator of deceit and
cloak of hypocrisy"
1t further pledged its repeal and
restoration TO certain communities in
the state "the right to control their
own local affairs as they existed prior
to the passage Of that measure re-
ferring to the prohibition law.
Prohibition is doomed in the state
of Tennessee.
As to the other two states that
adopted prohibition laws since 1907,
Mississippi and North Carolina, are
greatly agitated on the matter, and
it is only a question of time until
public opinion will assert itself and
force positive action to bring about
repeal.
AS 10 the four states that have been
operating under prohibition for many
years, Maine, Kansas Iowa and South
Dakota, agitation is constant in each
of the states in favor of repeal. Unless
II is in Iowa where the prohibition
clause of the constitution has been
virtually nullified by the enactment of
what is known as the Mulcet law, per-
mitting sale on payment of a certain
fee on consent of particular per cent

vote on a basis of the last general
election it required the signatures of
about $4,000 voters. A petition was
circulated recently in the state direct
ing the repeal of the prohibition clause
Of the constitution and substituting a
strict license law for same, and in a
very short period of time it received
over $1,000 signatures. 1t will be vot-
ed upon in November and il the success
in obtaining the signatures to the pc
tition is any criterion OF judgment, Ok

aggravates a its Incorporate use and
consequent abuse, that it breeds hy

legitimately engaged in the liquor bus

that II depriyes communities Of the

taxation. and all of this without any
Compensating benefit. The worst blow
prohibition ever received was its adop-
ton in so many states during the past
three years. Being false in principle
and injurious in operation 1t does not
seem possible that It will ever again
be galvanized into a live issue. This
does not mean that ii may not through
premdlcial influences and supposed
political contingencies be extended to
new territory, but it is certain that
its extension will only aCcentuate its
failure and add to its condemnation
and further influence the trend TO
reputation.

states where It was recently adopted

The state OF Georgia enacted pro-
hibition law in the summer of 1907, TO
20 into effect on January l. 1908.
Only a few months after 1t went into
effect the democratic party in the
state after a spirited contest nomin-
ated its present Governor Brown for
this office. who was strongly opposed
to prohibition, over the then Governor
Hoke Smith, who favored and signed
the prohibition law. Both are again
candidates for the same office and the
trend of public opinion in the state Is
indicated by both now favoring the
repeal Of the law There is every sign
that Governor Brown on account OF
the prevailing belief that he is sin
cerely opposed to the prohibition law
will not only be renominated but re-
elected and carry majority of the
members of the legislature favoring
the repeal with him. The state of
Georgia will most likely substitute Its
prohibition act with a license law at
the next session of its legislature.
