FIGHTING THE TIDE WITH A BROOM,

One Of the apparent results of COM
mission government is to set the faces
Of people where it is in opera ton more
firmly against vice than they were I'M
der the old forms. 1t centralizes author
ity 1t makes commissioners respon-
sible for their respective departments.
Commissioners in charge Of public
safety do not like to make bad reports.
Drunken brawls create trouble and ex-
pense. And unless they grow less in
number and virulence the department
is not progressing
Realizing that the saloons are the
sources from whence most of this rec
ord comes, commissioners are advocat-
ing restriction and abolition where pos
sible And this in turn has a logical
result. The liquor interests oppose the
commission plan. They beat it in
Peoria.
And in the fullness of time the sa-
loon interests will beat themselves out
Of business An interest that feels tina t
it must oppose good government in
order to protect itself is rot long for
this world in Intelligent communities.

And yet we have people who think
we have reached the limit When it is
suggested that In the next ten years

plenty Of curbstone politicians ready

with the suggestive inference that

The Oregon Plan.
New York Tribune 7

The Oregon plan of designating
United States senator's by direct popu-
lar vote seems to be growing in favor
in the state in which the function of
the legislature to elect has been re-
duced to a mere constitutional for
mality. Originally the initiative was
taken from the legislature by the legal
tzation of the statewide primary at
which candidates for the senatorship
were to be nominated by the qualified
voters Of each party The members of
the legislature representing the ma
jority party were morally committed
to support the candidate Of their party
named in the primary. But the plan
developed in Oregon went further than
that. Its inventors sought to commit
the representatives of all parties in
the legislature to support the candidate
for senator receiving the highest vote
at an election participated in by all
voters The members of the legislature
were made the agents not Of the
parties to which they belonged but of
the public, and a legislative majority
representing one party might be re-
CURED to name a senator of the oppos-
ing party who had won a popular in
dorsement at the polls.
1t was thought at first that the Ore
gon plan would put too severe a test
on partisan loyalty and self interest It
was said that a legislature controlled
by one party would not CONFIRM the
designation of a senator belonging to
another party. But practice has shown
the baselessness OF that contention.
Two years ago a republican legislature
in Oregon elected George E. Chamber
lain senator because Mr.. Chamberlain,
democrat, had defeated a republican
opponent at the polls. This winter a
democratic legislature in Nevada re-
elected Senator George 9. Nixon, re-
publican, because Mr.. Nixon had won q
similar victory. The possibility of
making the legislature a mere regis
tering machine for the popular will has
therefore been demonstrated. and the
states which believe in the elimination
OF the legislature al real factor in
senatorial election are consequently
turning to the Oregon plan.
Nebraska and Nevada adopted it in
1909. This year the Iowa legislature
passed a law carrying the Oregon idea
into effect, but the governor interpreted
his veto. Kansas and California have.
however. followed Oregon's lead. Mn
nesota's house Of representatives
passed q direct election bill tho other
day by unanimous vote. and New
Hampshire's lower house passed one
by vote Of 2sS TO TO- New Jersey
also seems likely to adopt the Oregon
plan. which IL embodied in the Geran
election bill now before the legislature.
The Borah amendment to the federal
constitution seeks TO compel the popu-
lar election Of senator's in all the states.
But Oregon has pointed out way by
which any state which wishes to do
so can accomplish that result for it,
self by Its own action. Why bother
with an amendment to the constitution
when everything which an amendment
would do can already be done by the
states acting within their own rights
and on their own responsibility?
