A REFERENDUM Law
IS Being ATTACKED
University of Oregon Charg.
es Abuse of Popular Rule
Through Measure.
(National News Association)

ENGENE, Ore, March 4-Alleged
abuses of popular rule through the
referendum will be pointed out this
week when the suit of the University
of Oregon against the Secretary of
State is argued in the State supreme
court at Salem. The 1911 session of the
legislature appropriated 100000 for
the University of Oregon, which is To-
Gated here, but before the law became
operative, a referendum petition filed
by one H. J. Parkinson was presented
the Secretary of State and accepted,
tying up the appropriation until 1912,
when the people would be given an op-
portunity to vote on the question. Cur
sorry examination of the petitions
showed evidences of fraud, 50 suit was
brought by a regent of the university
to prevent the Secretary Of State put
ting the referendum question on the
ballot. Attack was made on the petit
ton on the ground that large numbers
of the names were forged, and that va
rious technicalities of the law had not
been complied with.
AS the trial progressed, Parkinson
was forced to admit that he knew
some of the work of his agents was
fraudulent. but counsel for the Secre-
tary of State contended that, eliminat
ing the fraudulent names there would
yet be enough to make good the call
ing of the referendum. The State OBJ
jected that the plaintiff in the case had
no right to bring such suit, and that
he had not followed the prescribed
forms
Attorneys for the State university,
on the other hand, maintained the
right of any legal voter to bring such
q suit, and furthermore they make the
main contention that fraud in part Of
the petition ihvalidates the whole, es-
pecially where the fraud IL 50 exten-
sive and 10 50 well known before the
fling Of the petitions.
The case has aroused much interest
in Oregon. which state was the first
to adopt the initiative and referendum,
and various means of safeguarding the
principles are being discussed by
friends Of the law, for they fear that
If frauds are allowed to get by. worse
frauds win be perpetrated and the
whole system brought into disrepute.

A HARMLESS SWEETENER

Some people cant eat sugar, partic- ularly those who have diabetic trou- ble. Up to thirty-three years ago there was nothing such persons could use to satisfy the natural craving for sweets. In 1879 chemistry came to the rescue, as so often it has done. in the discovery of saccharine, a prod uct of coal tar, by Dr. Ira Remsen. one of the worlds greatest chemists. We now find some newspapers going so far as to class as a poison this sub. stance which diabetic patients can freely use when cane sugar would be fatal This was not the finding of the Remsen board, nor has any scien- tific commission representing any Flu ropean nation ever found it to be a poison. It is true that Germany and some other countries have enacted ar bitrary revenue laws to restrict the sale of saccharine-noth however, on the ground that it was injurious to the health, but solely for the protection of the cane and beet sugar industries of these ountries-Leslies

MANS SHELTON WAS
 FOUND IN DESERT

The skeleton of a man was found in a slough about four miles from the Big Eye mine, by two MeXicans who were out goat hunting.
 They reported it at the mine and Superintendent Chas. Witte had the matter investigated, but could find no marks of Identification, so he had the bones buried at Aram's We'll.
 The man appeared to be of medium height and build, and was evident ly young as the teeth were in perfect condition. As far as could be judged there were no marks of violence, al though the feet were off at the ank- les. It does not seem probable that the man died of thirst for there is plenty of water in that vicinity.

AGE OF CANDIDATES
 FOR THE PRESIDENCY

An article in the June American magazine entitled Our Next Presi dent and Some Others" the author. Roy Stannard Baker, presents the fol lowing facts:
 Ut is interesting to know that every one of the seven candidates, even in, cluding Roosevelt, has been admitted to the bar, and five of them have haC successful careers in the law. Two have been judges. No one of them i: a business man, large or small. No one of them is rich man, and though several of them, by virtue of theil high talents, have been able at times to earn large incomes, they have all been hard workers. Two or three ot them have been relatively poor all their lives, living frugally and devot ing themselves .unreservedly to pub lie work.
 ''All of the candidates, save Wilson have had long experience in office and in dealing with public men anC and public questions. While most oi them can be called able politicians, nc one of them belongs to that extreme type known as the machine politician; a boss.
 There is to the credit of every one of them not a little sound public service.
