Privilege Shocked at Oregon

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The Nation
al Boss-bund and the National Asso-
citation of Privilege devoted the day of
their joint session at the Gilden Food
Hotel to discussing recent develop
ments in Oregon.
Chairman Bondedwater devoted his
opening address to a discussion of the
principle of the separation of powers
in Democratic government. Strong
governments are dangerous to proper
ty," he declared. AT any moment a
strong government might interfere
with great private interests or dis
turb established methods of business
and finance for the benefit of its mas
ter, the mob. To protest vested rights,
therefore, we should endeavor to keep
the governments of our cities and
states as weak and disjointed as pos
sible. Only when popular government
is coherent and unified is it to be fear
ed. Elective offices should therefore
be multiplied-the more the better.
When the administration of govern
ment is thus cut into separate and
mutually independent bits, We get
more chances to block the popular
wish when it goes contrary to our
great interests. If the people want
tax levied on our franchises for in
stance, we can, through our friends
the politicians, try to block it in the
lower house of the legislature; If We
fail there, we have another chance in
the upper house, If that fails we try
to get the governor, though it is hard
er to make governors ignore popular
clamor. Then suppose the Tax is le-
galiZed in spite of us-we can easily
nominate and elect state comptrollers
who will wink at its non-enforcement,
and attorney-generals who will mix it
up further and judges who will call
parts of it unconstitutional or grant
long delays till we can unload our
stock. To block the operation of law
we need only to capture one position
in the long line. The people, however,
to force the full execution of the law,
must capture af1 and hold them. The
people are big and slow and clumsy;
we are little, but nimble and adroit.
The more complex politics is, the bet
ter for us. We therefore demand that
this great nation shall adhere to it's
glorious multiplicity of elective offices,
the subdivision and disjointing of its
forces and a system of politics so COM

pick that nobody but expert politicians
can work it"
Chairman Bondedwater then intro
duced Mr. Buylaw. prominent cor
poration attorney of Oregon.
Mr.. Buylaw reviewed the history
of representative government In the
various states under which crops had
prospered and population increased so
marvellously.
But what are these upstart reform
ers of Oregon trying now to do?" he
asked Why have they taken up the
Short Ballot idea and why are they 60
ing to revolutionize the system OF
state politics? The present Oregon bal
lot has about thirty offices on ii, TO
which in recent years dozen or more
referendum questions are usually add
ed. Naturally with such a ballot pro-
perty was we'll protected against in
vasion by the people. II We couldn't
control the governor We could at least
control the legislature. or if a trouble
some statute did pass We could slip
through our own Judges and sheriffs or
prosecuting attorneys any of whom
could soften the effect of the law when
notified to do so by our friends among
the politicians.
Now this cursed Peoples Power
! League led by Mr.. U'Ren OF initiative
and referendum fame has cooked up an
initiative proposal which will make the
Oregon ballots so simple that every
dunderheaded farmer and clerk will be
politician and will go butting into the
game and making his own ticket for
himself instead of voting the ticket the
bosses give him. You know how we are
accustomed to kill popular bills by
having the politicians arrange for
disagreement over details between the
record in apparent favor OF the mea-
sure. Well, they're going to abolish the
State Senate and have only one legis-
lature. Then they're going to give the
governor a seat in this one-house legis-
lature. That closes another loop-hole
for it will be more difficult to get the
governor and legislature pulling in op-
posite directions when they are sitting
side by side thrashing matters out
More than that, this measure renders
appointive, instead of elective, all the
| state administrative officers and the
sheriffs and attorneys in the counties.
That will leave only three offices on
the state ballot, governor, auditor and
