A petition in circulation in Dallas
the first of the present week asking
for the referendum ON the new coun-
ty attorney law which goes into eff
feet early in June, contains the
statement that the measure will be
voted on cat the special election to
be held in November" Inasmuch as
the holding of this election depends
upon whether any measure is refer
red, it appears that the statement in
the petition is misleading to say the
least. The petition in question was
by man with no interest
in the matter, except the money he
got out of it. and it was signed by
some who didn't even know what
its provisions contained. This is
another evidence of the ease with
which the referendum is invoked. In
the instance of the county attorney
law it is asserted that the men be-
hind the referendum are not unfavor-
able to the law, but object to the
governor being given power to name
.he different attorneys.

WALKING OVER A REFEREN-
dunn.

In his final remarks to the people
Of California Secretary Bryan said :
"You are fortunate in this state i'll
having the initiative and referendum.
The initiative spurs you on to do that
which your people want done, while
the referendum empowers those for
whom you speak to put the veto on
your acts if you fail to reflect their
wishes.' - But what if these popular
votes are ignored or reversed by those
who act in a representative capacity,
asks the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
By a large clear majority of the
total vote last November the people
of the United States supported the
policy of protection, but the presi-
dent and Congress are now engaged
in tearing down that policy. The fig
ures of this referendum last fall are
instructive. For protective platforms
7,604,664 votes were cast, and for the
Democratic platform 6,293, 100. Pro-
lection was no less than 1911, ,544
ahead. 1t was 174,528 ahead of the
vote of all other parties combined.
But in spite of this emphatic show
ing of the opinions of the people
President Wilson and his secretary
of state are peculiarly active in
forcing Congress to more radical act
ion against protection than the leg
islative body proposed. The Demo-
cratic Ways and Means committee
had not intended to include sugar
and wool in the free list, but the
with the help of Secretary
Bryan, has compelled the Democrat
ic majority in the House to accept
the essentials of free trade. Presi-
dent Wilson puts patronage in the
scale to push through a scholastic
tariff for revenue only. AS the peo-
pie held a referendum on the subject
six months ago, and registered at that
time a clear majority for protection,
the recommendation of Secretary
Bryan to California has a hollow
sound. A referendum is supposed
to be the reference of a question to
the people. But if those who sug
gest a resort to it are at the same
time doing their best to pass a law
contrary to the declared
judgment of the people the adviser
is too shifty to be trusted.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1913-05-16

The real progressives in the Re-
publican party-thOse who place the
principles of the organization above
mere politics-dO not appear to lis
ten to the frantic appeals of RoOse-
welt who is opposing all movements
at reorganization that does not come
from the so-called Progressive party.
The gathering of the progressive
leaders who refused to leave the
party at the call of the former pres
ident and who are now engaged IN
a laudable endeavor to reOrganize
the party and unite all Republican
interests in one solid front to oppose
the common enemy, Democracy. EV-
cry indication gives assurance that
they will be successful. That the re-
organization Of the party must come
is paramount, and that it can only
be brought about from forces within
the party rather than from these
who have proved traitors to it, is
certainly true. When we want ad-
vice regarding the conduct of our af-
fairs we do not consult those who
are our enemies. The Republican
party is big enough to overcome
whatever shortcomings it may have,
and the leaders now at the helm are
statesmen sufficient to understand
what is needed and will do their best
10 see that it is supplied. The T. r.
nero worship that proved so import
mt factor in the campaign of last
year, is rapidly being lost in the
shuttle.

new AV0 MODERN METHODS MARK
CONDUCT OF TRINIDAD SCHOOLS

more than fi.iOo."Oo and ~ ,opu-
lar hns the plan been that parents of
poor children all over the country
have made use OF the school banks
through their children. to deposit
their savings.
The children are encouraged to de-
posit any sum they wish and the
money can only be drawn out by con-
sent or order of parents or teachers.
Another plan contemplated by
Supt. Morgan is to have ut each
school building n special teacher for
backward children to give special IN
str,iction to children who for any
reason have fallen behind in their
lessons and who wish to catch up and
advance. Along the same lines is the
sub-fresh man class for boys and girls
between the eighth grade and the
freshman class OF the high school. a
number of pu pills have enrolled in
this class that would otherwise have
dropped out.
Tho parents meetings at the
schools have been popular and most
successful this year. Much good has
been accomplished by these meet
ings which have brought the teach
crs and parents and patrons closer
together and to u better and broader
understanding of school problems.
md many have expressed their ut
most satisfaction with the results of
!. the meetings.
