Teal, Practical Workings of the Initiative and Referendum in Oregon, Cin cinnati Conference for Good City Government, 1909, pp. 309, 310. Cf. Oregonian, Nov. 28, 1902, p. 6, col. 1 H. W. Scott, ibid., Oct. 16, 1907, p. 11, col. 3. Although it was adopted by a majority of eleven to one, a great many people did not know what they were voting for. The friends of the measure had been working judiciously for it for years, had secured the endorsement of the newspapers, many of the leading men of the state, and had by shrewd management got possession of the political parties, to the extent, at least, that all candidates printed 'vote for Initiative and Referendum' on all their election cards and bill posters and were all lined up to advocate the measure during election: Many did not know what they were voting for, simply following the rest. H. Denlinger, Arena, vol. 38, pp. 83 - 4 Such statements are repeated by Oregonians again and again, both in regard to the members of the legislature and the people, and are widely believed to be true.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Initiative Referendum and Recall This volume represents a substantial contribution to the further careful and thoughtful discussion of a widely considered plan of reform. Professor Munro brings to his task as editor not only a comprehensive knowledge of the subject treated - direct legislation as it is popularly known - and a deep sympathy with the movement to correct the undoubtedly and undisputed evil results of representative government, but, what is of prime importance, a sound perspective and with out local prejudice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Documents on the State-Wide Initiative: Referendum and Recall This volume includes all of the constitutional amendments providing for a state-wide system of initiative and referendum now in force, several of the most significant statutes elaborating the constitutional provisions, all of the constitutional amendments now pending adoption, six important judicial decisions, and certain materials relative to the state-wide recall. While no attempt has been made to go into the subject of the initiative, referendum, and recall as applied to local and municipal government, some illustrative papers showing the system in ordinary municipalities and commission-governed cities have been included. We have published as an appendix the complete scheme of government suggested by Mr. W. S. U'Ren and a committee of Oregon citizens. This is one of the most suggestive documents to be found in recent American political literature, and it will be read with profit in connection with the chapters of Mr. Herbert Croly's Promise of American Life dealing with state government and administration. It is obvious that this volume will soon be partially out of date if the several projects for the initiative, referendum, and recall now pending are adopted. It is hoped, however, that new editions may be issued from time to time so that students of government may have readily accessible the primary materials for the study of these new institutional devices. We are indebted to Mr. H. H. Jones, of the Columbia Graduate School, for valuable aid in reading the proof.
