THE INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM WAS A REPUBLICAN
MEASURE.
The reform known as Direct Legislation was inaugurat
ed and submitted to the people by Republican legislatures,
Furthermore it was endorsed and approved in Republi
can conventions under the good old "representative" sys
tem. v Under its operation the people have secured the Direct
Primary law and the Direct Election of United States Sena
tors, ,
The further fact is in our political history well authenti
cated that the Oregonian consented to, connived for and
helped adopt these things that are now called bad and revo
lutionary. '
If the Oregonian now tells the truth about the evil effects
of these reforms, which we deny, the party needs nothing so
much' as new leadership, and a new party organ,
The party leadership is stulifying itself when it cries out
against the progressive reforms that have been secured un
der the Initiative and Referendum,
' The alleged leading lights of Republicanism are disown
ing the offspring of their own political virtue and kickng
their own children out of doors. ...w,w.,-, .,..,..
Dr, T, V, B, Embree of Dallas writes thus to the Dallas
Observer:
"Wow, let us see whose chicken this initiative and refer
endum is, Bear in mind, the Populist party was too dead to
skin when that law- was passed by the Legislature, - That
party died from fusion, The Democrats were sick and hardly
able to crawl, The great originator and promoter of this
measure helped to wreck the People's party, and, cuckoo-like
took his nest egg and placed it under the good old Republcan
hen to hatch, (Ouch, Doctor, that hurts! Editor,), There
is where he found his "cranks, visionaries and rascals." The
Populist convention, as a whole, was made up of the cleanest
set of men connected with the whole affair,
"Mr, Editor, this initiative and referendum measure is
your party's adopted child. It is true it has the Populist odor
on it, which gives it a fragrance that is somewhat sickening
to-a great many, You had better fumigate your own house
hold, if you Want to get rid "of the rat that is gnawing your
walls, The evidence of your party's appreciation of the
wreckers of Populism is to look at the rewards given them by
promoting them to the highest positons of honor and profit."
Good Nold Dr, Embree telh a whole lot of truth in the
above when he says the Republican Machine rewarded the
men who engineered the adoption of these reforms into high
office. '
But it is useless to go into all that, The questions is to
day: Shall the party abandon its legitimate offsoring, the
weapons it created and placed in the hands of the electorate?
Or shall the Republican partv stand by its record of hav
ing given the people of -Oregon the most progressive and ef
ficient tools for self-government?
Who is crying out against Direst Legislation, the Direct
Primary, and Direct Election of Senators in Oregon, anvway?
Isn't it the big inetrests, the hig corporations that have
ruled in conventions, that have dictated nominations, that
have controlled legislatures, and have elected their own agents .
to the United States Senate? , ,
Come now, be honest, didn't you bite off too big a mouth
ful, and don't it set hard on. your stomachs, and haven't vou
got sick of a game you did not understand when you went into
it?
If you were more or less honest and intelligent you would
quit kicking vourselves in the face and pleading the baby act
saying you didn't know it was loaded.
Let us be proud of our record in giving the people re
form measures,
OUR SUPREME COURT.
The Portland Oregonia has announced its interpretation,
and construction of he constitution of the state in reference
to the increase of the members of the supreme court,
According to the legal opinion of that journal there can
be no controversy when once interpreted by the count .
But who is to judge?
Shall it be the journalist or the judge.
Constitutional interoretation is a science (legal) by itself
concerning which the "literati11 or the philosopher may be ignorant,

This must be left to the legal fraternity on the bench or
off, mostly on. , . r , ,
The literal interpretation of the constitution of this state
means that the supreme court shall consist of three judges,
except to those minds distorted by legal haggling or legal
construction. . ,
There is also no question but that .this state needs five
judges in the appellate court.
The state would have had a constitutional amendment
permitting five judges at the last election had it not been for
the Oregonian and a Salem lawyer with an ambition to sit
on the bench, who but a few days before election wrote a let
ter published in the Oregonian that decried the constitutional
amendment for the reason that it did not limit the number of
supreme judges,
A shallower,- cheaper- or more . unreasonable, argument
could not have been made,
But all things have their effect as this did.
The legislature passed a law increasing the bench,
though the amendment failed.
What is. the remedy?
Shall it be a literal constitutional interpretation against
the language of the instrument, or shall common sense out
weigh technicality? Medford Mail Tribune,
The above editorial is sound excent that it overlooks the
fact that plain common sense will allow five justices,
I he Constitution says three justices shall constitute the
supreme court,
But it nowhere says there shall never be more than three
justices of the supreme court,
I he clear rule of Interpreting a state constitution is that
the legislature has all the powers that the constitution does not
prohibit it from exercising.
If the constitution said the supreme court shall consist
ui unuc juouuco aim iicvoi, uhucai any ouiiiolcuiooo,
shall the legislature or the people create more than three,
there would be some ground fo rthe Oregonian to argue.
But such a constitution would be ridiculous and impos
sible. Has it ever dawned upon the Oregonian that a constitu
tion is a growing , living organism, and not a cast-off.

BOOSTING SILVERTOIl FRUIT INTERESTS.
The fruit show to be held in the Silverton Opera. House
Tuesday will be just such a demonstration as the fruit grow
ers of this vicinity have needed,
Something to stir them up and get them in the habit of
perfecting the fruit culture in and around Silverton,
Just at this time there is quite an interesting awakening
ail over the state in the matter of fruit culture ,and the old
Oregon apple is a thing of the past. In a few days a party
is exoected here to advance thesubject of a canning factory
in Silverton and whether this is a success or not the farmers
ought to prepare for greater achievements in fruit growing,
I he bilverton uommercial ulub is back of this movement
and its success is therefore assured,
Let everybody be present early on Tuesday, November
1 6th, and hear what there is to hear and see what there is to
see,
WATER SYSTEM FOR FALLS CITY.
At a meeting of the Commercial Club the question of
water works was brought up and M, H, V, Gates was asked
to talk on.that subject, He told us many things about the
woik ot securing gooa waier toi our cny,
He started with the great need of fire protection, He
advised us not to build if we could not build a good modern
system, A good foundation upon which to build in the future
as our town grows was his idea, He has had years of expe
rience in this work and well qualified to advise along this line,
The water committee from our ocuncil was invited to go to
Dallas at any time and thoroughly investigate the system there
and to cal lupon him for any advice that thev saw fit, If the
city decides to build a system for itself he will perhaps bid on
the work and if thev let a franchise to some private party he,
will be prepared to bid on that,
