BOURNE PRAISES
OREGON PLAN"
Senator From That State
Says The Initiative Is
the Best Ever.

! Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 18.-An ex-
position of the much discussed Ore
| gon system" which he declared TO be
the best system of government in
| the world" was the contents of an
! address delivered by United States sen
/ ator Jonathan Bourne, jr., of Oregon,
| before the American Academy of Poll
! teal and Social Science at its opening
session here last night. The senator
i declared the initiative and the referen-
| dunn ''the keystone of the arch of pop
ular government" and set forth in de-
tail the reasons for his belief. analyz-
I ing as we'll the other features of the
Oregon system.
In his address senator Bourne ar
gued that the initiative educates and
develops the people by compelling
| them to study public questions and
placing upon them responsibility for
all laws. 1t gives every man an OPP
portunity to submit his ideas to the
people, provided percent of them be-
lieve his ideas worthy of submission;
thus, the speaker argued there is
tendency to lift all the people to the
plane of the most advanced.
Laws proposed under the initia-
tive" said senator Bourne ARE not
subject to amendment. and, therefore,
cannot be made the means of enacting
'jokers,' as has often been done in the
case of measures enacted by a legisla-
lures. Legislative blackmail and
grants of special privilege are made
impossible by the referendum
Concluding his speech, senator
Bourne said:
Oregon has evolved the best sys-
tenn of popular government in the
world.
1.-The Australian ballot assures the
honesty of elections.
The registration law guards the in
tegrity of the privilege of American
citizenshib-participa in govern
men;.
The direct primary absolutely in
sures popular selection of all candi-
dates and establishes the responsibility
Of the public servant TO the electorate
ard not to any political boss or special
interest.
The initiative and referendum is the
keynote of the arch of popular gov
ornment for by means of this the peo-
pie may accomplish such other reforms |
as they declare.
The corrupt practices act is neceS- |
sary a complement to the initiative !
and referendum and the direct pri- I
mary, fer, without the corrupt prac- !
tees act, these other features of pop |
ular government could be abused I'm !
der the operation of this law popular (.
verdicts will be based upon ideas. not
money; argument not abuse; prin- /

The recall is rather an admonition !
or precautionary measure, the exist

sPeet For Law Library Assistant.
Ry y. RARNETr popsoN.


The actions 81 the bar of Richmond,
Va, in calling q special meeting for
the purpose OF passing set OF rcsolu
lions in honor Of Edward Brown. late
Janitor and assistant In the state law
library. show the high esteem In which
he was held.
Mr. Brown had held the position FOR
over forty years. During that time
he proved himself 90 be a man OF
worth. honesty and Intelligence. II IS
related OF him that he could put his
hand on any book IN the library at
once when called for 10y any one OF the
many persons who made use OF the
library.
The white people OF Richmond who
knew him showed him the very high
est respect. and no favor which Mr.
Brown desired OF any Of them would
be withheld when asked for. When we
consider that the bar association Of
Richmond Is composed solely OF white
men Il is easy 90 see the high honor
conferred upon the deceased by south
ern white men OF influence and high
standing in the community.
Mr.. Brown was always courteous
obliging and respectful 10 those whom
he served In the line OF duty. He
perhaps knew more public men Of
wealth and position than any other
man OF our race In the city OF Rich
mond. Governors, educators. senators
and representatives Of the lower house
were among his daily companions. as Il
were, while In the performance OF
their duty as state and city officials.
In thus hOnOring the memory OF one
who faithfully performed bis duty In
life the lawyers at the Richmond bar
reflect honor upon the community and
at the same time prove themselves o.
be men OF broad sympathies. possess
ing at the same time a high sense Of
duty and humanitarian virtues.
