ALL VOTERS TO GET BOOKS.
Law Provides for Issue of Pamphlets
Only to September IL.

Salem, Ore.-A defect in the ini-
tiative and referendum laws, which
has been discovered by Secretary Oh
colt, would deprive thousands of
voters of copies of the pamphlets if
the law were to be literally followed.
but Secretary Olcott has decided to
overlook this provision and forward
pamphlets to all of the registered
voters.
The provision in question requires
that the secretary of state send out
the last pamphlets September II.
Voters may register until late in Oc-
tober, but under the law those who
registered after September II would
be left without pamphlets.
Secretary Olcott considers this pro-
vision so obviously different from
the general intent of the act that he
VIII forward the pamphlets up to the
last minute, so that all registered
voters will be supplied.
The pamphlets will not be issued
until about September / according
to the latest advices received by the
secretary. They will then come
from the presses at the rate of about
10000 a day and will be mailed as
rapidly by the use of the rapid ad-
dressing machine, which is now the
property of the state.
