SYSTEM
OREGON SENATOR TELLS SENATE
WHAT HIS STATE HAS FOR
GREsslvENEss.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE Oregon
franchise regulation system today was
commended again by Mr.. Bourne Of
that state In il speech IN the senate.
Taking advantage Of the pendency Of
the resolution providing for the direct
vote Of the people IN the election Of
United States senators, Mr.. Bourne ex-
patiated upon the advantages Of the
Oregon system.
Mr.. Bourne said that with It's regis
tration plan, Australian ballot, direct
primaries initiative and referendum,
Oregon has evolved the best system yet
formed for the control Of elections, He
spoke of the initiative and referendum
rs the arch Of popular government and
contended that the right to recall an
official once chosen, is proper corol-
larry of this system.
If capable of electing. he was sure
that the people could be depended on
not to exercise the right to recall a
competent official.
