Oregon's Experienoe.

In the discussion of the initiative
and referendum five states out of the
whole forty.six have been cited as
states which have taken up with
this scheme of direct legislation.
Fortunately, we have in a recent
speech delivered by Senator Jona-
than Bourne of that state a resume of
the experience Of Oregon with the in
itiative and referendum which may
throw some light on its actual work
ings, Oregon being the particular
state most widely advertised as the
acme of direct popular government
The initiative and referendum was
first utilized in Oregon in 1904, when
two propositions were submitted to
popular vote. In 1906 eleven more
propositions we're submitted and in
1908 nineteen more, making total
of thirty-two distinct propositions
submitted at three elections.
What are the propositions for
which in Oregon it was deemed neces-
sary to take a popular vote? The
compilation presented by Senator
Bourne, slightly condensed, with the
vote on each proposition, is as fol-

Burleson is a member of the committee

of that committee.
The Texan is exceptionally fond of Mr..
Tawney, and he was asking Mr. Bede's
opinion as to the effect OF President Tafts
Wlnona speech upon the prospects of Taw-
ney's re-e)ection. Bede was somewhat in
doubt, ana Burleson explained.
II like Jim Tawney; he is all right. He
is for the reduction of the tariff in the
interest of the people; he is for economy
in public expenditures, and he is an honest
man."

ministers are hard to get" said
DR.. Charles R. Adams, pastor OF the
First Presbyterian church.
Continuing he said, lone of the main
reasons fer this is the practical atti-
tude of the average laymen. You know
that there is an element of the heroic
in going into the ministry for a young
man. He Is making a great sacrifice,
for there are thousands of opportuni-
ties for him in other professions and in
the business and technical world which
he can accept with little sacrifice
He is given to understand that 1t is the
sacrifice that he is making to &C.
complish some great end and there is
something tremendous at stake.
when the young man gets into the
ministry he finds that there are about
per cent Of tie church members who
realize that the church is a business.
The others simply sit back and make
remarks.
The average young man sees that
the laymen are putting the church in
the last place and will not make the
sacrifice of career, honor and wealth
that he might gain in other pursuits.
