THE ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF
THE RECALL.

The principle of the "recall' has
been given so much OF an emphasis
ir the platform of Theodore Roose-
welt, nov an avowed candidate for
president, and it figures so largely in
the political vocabulary of the times,
that we are frequently asked as TO
tie origin of this feature of govern
mcnt.
While the germ OF the idea may
be found in the democracies of tn"
ancient world, yet as far as any
systematic development goes. it is a
molly American idea. and an out
growth of our corrupt and stormy
politics.
The recall has usually been con
oidercd as a counterpart and accom-
paniment of the initiative and ref.
rrcndum, which have been used in
Switzerland since 1880. But ,he agi-
tation ior the recall practically stop
red in switzerland when the initl-
"tive and referendum We're adopted
In oar state of California, the con
SIi;ution1l amendment for the recall
of officials secured over 100 900 ma
loMty last October. yet the amend
mentS for the initiative and refer
endum had only about 10000 major
ity.
The city of Los Angeles appears
to he the creator of the recall, hay
nS adopted the plan in 100 Since
then it has recalled mayor and &
councilman. the mayor having re-
signed before the recall vote was
aiken.
In 1905, San Diego, San Bernar-
dino, Pasadena and Fresno adopted
the recall. and in 1906 it was adopted
in Seattle In 1907 a number Of Cali

forna cite, adopted it, including
san Francisco, and the new const-
tuition Of california urst established
y on A large and state wide scale
last fall. Recall provisions were
placed IN the constitution OF Arizona,
This instrument of popular retribu-
non has not yet been largely used.
Nearly all OF the recall provisions
SO Ear adopted have gwen the p"o-
ple power TO recall judges, but 50
far As we can learn, no Judge high
or low mas as yet been recalled.
Sine 1907 the recall has been ap-
plcabla TO many municipal and
county officers IN Oregon, but at last
accounts none had been recalled.
The recall is Il weapon of despcl-
ation by which the radical elements
in American municipal life are seek
,ng 20 arm themselves against the
thugs and OutcaSts that have control
ed 50 many American cities. But
many people who would favor It's use
IN tn" desperate battle with the under
world of municipal politics would D.
equally strenuous against applying It
TO Judges.
