Whatever that may mean. the election
Will be held in every county in the
state. 70 recall the member from Doug
las County and elect his successor.
fnpracticabI What would the people
of Eastern Oregon know about the
qualifications Of candidate in Doug
las County? Should not the people Of
Douglas County have a right to say
whom they want To represent them
without Interference from the balance
Of the state2
And ii is further provided that the
filing Of the recall petition shall oper-
ate as a complete suspension from Of
fee Of all the Senators and Represen-
.atIves against whom it is filed" That
is. under our present system, with only
two parties, It takes a majority Of the
voters in each district to elect man
10 office. but 25 per cent Of the voters
Of the state can put him out. There
is no limit TO the amount Of harm
such a law would do, and there Is no
limit to the frequency Of the recall
elections. 1t could be used by schem-
ing politicians like its authors to pre-
vent and destroy all legislation. Just
as well abolish the Legislature at once.
