Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oregon System: The Story of Direct Legislation in Oregon How would you like to live in a state where the people can and do enact laws for the common good which their Legislature has failed to enact for them, where they can nullify any obnoxious measure passed by the Legislature, where they can nominate and elect, or defeat for public office, any man regardless of his party strength, and can recall any public officer, Supreme Judge included, whose acts they do not approve; a state where the party boss has been put out of business; a state in short where the people rule and of which Senator Jonathan Bourne says, "It is the best system of popular government in the world today"? Such a state is Oregon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
