Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oregon System: The Story of Direct Legislation in Oregon
If the story of the experiment of Oregon with direct legislation is to be of any value to the citizens of our state or to those of other states who are watching us, its narration must be undertaken with the purpose of giving information. The task of presenting the facts as they are is a worthy under taking, particularly since I do not know of any one.
