SENATE HEARS CHAMBERLAIN.
OreEonian Speaks on Initiative,
Referendum, and Recall.

The Senate was in session only a short
while yesterday, and adjourned until
Thursday. The committees will not be
named until next week. which means
that the Senate will not get down to
work until that time.
At the session yesterday the bill for
publicity of campaign contributions and
the resolution for the election of Sena-
tors by popular vote came over from the
House. The insurgents and Democrats
Joined together and prevented the refer
ence of the resolution TO the Committee
or Privileges and Elections, which is un-
derstood to be hostile 10 the election of
Senators by popular vote.
Senator Chamberlain. OF Oregon, spoke
al length in favor of the initiative, refer
endum, and recall, and urged the admis-
sion of Arizona as State along with
New Mexico.
Speaking of the recall feature of the
constitution in its application to the
judiciary. Senator Chamberlain main
tanned that the fate of n judge is safer
in the hands of the people than in the
State legislatures, which now have power
OF Impeachment. He said the recall had
been applied only twice to the judiciary
once in Los Angeles and once in
Seattle.
The exercise of the recall power in each
instance the Senator justified. The idea
that a judge should be made Indifferent
to the wishes of the people. Senator
Chamberlain said, is aristocratic and not
democratic. He said there Is no reason
Why a judge should not DC made respon-
sible to the will of the people, as are
other public officers

Why do so many corporations
waste their money in lobbying?
Why do they submit to the de-
mands made upon them by men
who are trying to fatten their
pocketbooks by hook or crook ?
THE REMEDY is IN
THEIR OWN HANDS.
If all corporate interests want
to get SQUARE DEAL from
the people, and through them a
square deal from their represent
atives in legislatures, the best
thing for them to do is to take
the people into their confidence
through PAID ADVERTISING
in the daily newspapers.
Their story will be read by the
people if they put it before them
in this manner.

GUS opinions about corporations,
