THE OREGON PLAN.

The Oregon plan Of designating United
States Senator's by direct popular vote
seems to be growing in favor in the
states In which the function Of the Lecis-
lature TO elect has been reduced 10
more constitutional formality. Originally
'he initiative was taken from the LegiS-
laiure by the leCalizaton of the state
wide primary at which candidates for
the scnatorShip were to be nominated by
tho qualified voters OF each party. The
members of the Legislature representing
the majority party were morally com
mitted 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 COM
nit the representatives Of all parties Il
the Legislature 10 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
10 which they belonged but of the pub
lie. and a legislative ma jority represent
Ing one party might be required 10 name
q Senator of the opposing party who
had won a popular Endorsement at the
polls
.- 1t was thought at first that the Oregon
plan would put too severe test on par
,isan loyalty and self-interest. 1t was
said that a Legislature controlled by one
PARTY would not confirm the designation
Of Senator belonging 70 another party.
But practice has shown the baSelessneSs
of that contention. Two years ago Re
publican Legislature in oregon elected
George l.. Chamberlain Senator be-
cause Nh Chamberlain. Democrat. had
defeated a Republican opponent at the
polls. This winter a Democratic Legis-
lature in Nevada reelected Senator
George $. Nixon. Republican. because
Mr. Nixon had won a similar victory.
The possibility of making the Legislature
mere registering machine for the popu-
lar will has therefore been demonstrated
and the states which believe in the elimi-
nation of the Legislature as a real fac
tor in senatorial elections are conse-
Guentlv turning TO the Oregon plan.
Nebraska and Nevada adopted 1t in
1909 This year the Iowa Legislature
passed a law carrying the Oregon idea
into effect. but the Governor interposed
his veto. Kansas and California have,
however. followed Oregon's lead Mime
sofas House of Representatives passed
a direct election bill the other day by a
unanimous vote, and New Hampshire's
lower house passed one by vote of PCS
10 20. New Jersey also seems likely to
adopt the Oregon plan, which is en-
bodied in the Geran election bill now
before the Legislature.
The Borah amendment TO the federal
Constitution seeks to compel the popu-
lar election Of Senators in all the states.
But Oregon has pointed out Il way by
which any state which wishes TO do so
can accomplish that result for itself 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:

TWO MEETINGS ARE BETTER

The members OF the West Virginia
Coal Mining Institute Will determine
by a correspondence vote whether or
not that organization shall have one
or two meetings n year. It has been
the custom OF the Institute to hold a
summer and a winter meeting a year.
One of these gatherings was held In
the southern part OF the State while
the other assembled in the nothern
part of the commonwealth. There
was a motion introduced at the meet
Ing here to have but one meeting a
year and In order that every member
might have a chance to vote one way
or other or the question It was dc.
cided that the votes should be sent
in by mall.
1t seems to be the better plan to
have the two meetings n year. This
gives the assurance OF a better attend
ance at the meetings. When the
southern part of the state is selected
for the meeting place 1t is almost i'm.
possible for n large number of the
members from the northern part of
the State to attend because the men
are unable to leave the mines that
long and it is not possible to close
them. When the meeting is in the
northern part"the same. conditions IN
the southerngp portion of Ind state OBJ
tains. Tho large atendahce at these
gatherings must depend Upon the
section is which they are held. IA.
To. have but one meeting a year
would be TO lessen the interest in the
work that is done at these gatherings.
