THE EXTRAvAGANT WIFE.

once there was a husband who had
an extravagant wife. Extravaganza
with her seemed to be bred in the
bone. She was gentle and sweet and
loving and kind and efficient and al
ways thoughtful of his welfare, but
she found it absolutely impossible to
measure her expenditures by her
husbands income. She had a great
many wants and couldn't refrain
from satisfying them as soon as they
arose without regard to where the
money to pay for them was coming
from. Her husband, on the contrary,
was man of frugal disposition and
simple tastes His wants were few and
his income would have been amply
sufficient for them to live in modest
comfort.
In vain would he demonstrate with
his wife and argue the matter. She
would agree with everything he said
and show great contrition of spirit
and then would proceed as before
just as if nothing had been said.
When the bills came in at the end
of the month he would go over them
with her, item by item, and thus point
out how they could easily have been
much smaller. She would be very
remorseful and promise to be more
careful in the future. but she never
succeeded in keeping her promise.
At length he decided that 1t was
no use trying to save, but, on the
contrary, that the only way out OF
the dilemma, short of domestic
rupture, was to increase his income
so that he wouldn't care how high
the bills were. To this end he re-
doubled his efforts and schemed and
planned and hunted up new ways and
means to increase his fortune. When
ever he felt inclined to lie back upon
his oars he thought of those bills
and how to meet them, and this kept
him on the jump every minute.
These increased efforts bore album
dant fruit. so abundant that finally

ian is as valuable
as an Indian Medicine Man to his
toms not the disease. 1t would cure
legislative inefficiency not by improv-
ing the legislature but by attacking
the effects of its shortcomings which
appear in the form of an overburd-
ened initiative ballot.
Why cannot the Oregonian and
other reactionares see that the long
ballot is not the cause of our trouble
but is the result of weakness in the
legislative halls at Salem. OF the
many measures on the ballot Novem-
ber large percentage were placed
there by direct action of the legisla-
the ballot as direct result of legis-
lative squabbling or of the inability
of the legislature to solve the prob
lens with which it dealt. Still other
measures were proposed under the in
itiative because the authors, who were
representative citizens and organiza-
tions, were fearful the legislature
would be unable to handle them right.
The number of measures submitted
by faddists We're so few as to be scar
cely worth considering. The people
had no difficulty dispOsing of those
measures. The other 40 or more caused
the grief.
Aside from the suggestion that bal
lot titles be made more clear and in
telligible none of the schemes pro-
posed for reforming the initiative
and referendum are worth rap.
They are nostrums that would cause
more harm than good if taken. one
could as well treat a fever patient by
beating tom toms and then hurting
the victim into an icy stream for

The Oregonian would be in better
business just now if instead of carp
ing so much about the initiative and
referendum il would lecture legisla-
tors on the evils of petty political
pickering, on the i'll effects of log
rolling and on the necessity of a law
making body more free from selfish
influences and inspired only by high
desire to act in broad, capable way
in behalf OF the people and the state.
Good work by the legislature will
lessen the number of legislative meas
ures on the general ballot and it is
the only real way to reach that end.
