BOURNE EXPLAINS
PETITION PLANS

To the Editor 1T has been quite
generally agreed that under the system
OF paid circulation of initiative and
referendum petitions two evils exist !:
The submission of many measures for
which there is no popular demand, and
the forging of signatures. To remove
these evils. | shall propose an initia
tive measure prohibiting payment of
circulation of petitions but placing no
restriction upon the right of the people
to circulate petitions for any measure
in which they feel an interest.
One of the fundamental purposes of
the Oregon System is TO increase the
power of men and decrease of power of
money. am surprised, therefore, to
find that there are some sincere advo-
Gates of better government who oppose
the plan of prohibiting paid circulation
Of petitions. Most Of those who op-
pose my bill acknowledge that il is
right in principle hut say it will not
work satisfactory in practice. con-
tend that if il is right in principle it
will ultimately be adopted and will
work in practice.
40 initiative petition is supposed to
represent the desire of per cent of
the voters. 1t does no such thing. II
represents merely the expenditure Of
certain amount Of money.
Possibly circulation of petitions
serves to notify about ten per cent of
the voters that the measure is being
proposed, but. if that is the end to be
gained, it certainly could be done more
effectively by expending the money in
the printing and circulation of copies
Of the bill which voters could read,
rather than in securing signatures of
voters to a petition which few take the
time to read.
The adoption of my suggested bill
would make the petition represent pub
lie opinion. for the number of volun.
teer circulators would be in proportion
to the extent of public desire for the
measure.
| admit that so long as the custom of
paying circulators continues, practical
ly every measure must be initiated in
that manner, but am confident the
time will come when the duties of
citizenship in procuring and protecting
desired laws under the initiative and
referendum will be performed without
special compensation.
The hiring of paid circulators for
measures or candidates is no less un-
representative than the hiring of work
ers or vehicles on election day, which
have both been prohibited by the cor
rupt practices act.

Maltbie Suggests Way of Letting

Nothing further has been heard from
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury De-

for the easement under the Federal Build

which Mr.. McAdoo notified the commits
sion that the appraisers for the govern

The opinion was expressed yesterday by
Commissioner Milo r. Maltbie that proba-
bly, no better terms could be expected
from Secretary McAdoo under the circum-
stances and the city might be compelled

Treasury had obtained an estimate or

how for him to try to dispose of the ease
ment for any less because Of criticism
and possible attack from hostile Congress

The members Of the Public Service Com
mission consider any such proposition
prohihtiye-an absurdly high uation-
and at the same time some of them feel
that the appraisers for the government
have placed Mr.. McAdOo in a situation
from which he cannot withdraw. grace
