LEGAL PROBLEM PECULIAR it Clackamas Is Divided, AYhat Dis trict Will It Be In, if Any? SALEM. Or., July 10. Special.)' If the Initiative measure in which it is proposed to annex the Eastern portion of Wash ington County to Multnomah County is passed by a vote of the people, a legal question will be presented which has no precedent in the Oregon courts. The Fifth Judicial District is composed of Clackamas. Columbia. Washington and ' Clatsop counties. With the strip cut from Washington County and an nexed to Multnomah, Clackamas would no longer be contiguous to a county in that district. The question has arisen 's to whether there can be a judicial district composed of two or more coun ties that are not contiguous), and the gen eral sentiment among attorneys here seems to be in the negative. By the proposed division the Circuit Judge, as It now stands, would reside in Clackamas County Rnd the District At torney in another part of the district. It Is a question which half would comprise the district or whether there would be a Judicial district at all. NEGATIVE ARGUMENT FILED MoCaniant Protests Against Pro posed Amendment to Artcile IV. SALEM. Or., July 19. (Special.) The first negative argument to an Initiative measure was filed today by Wallace Mc Camant, of Portland, who Is protesting against amending article IV of the con stitution. The proposed amendment would provide for annual sessions of the legislature, lengthening of the legislative term to six years and proportional rep- xcsi'nuiuon, Alonzo Gesner. of Salem, today filed Ms declaration of intention to become a candidate for nomination as State Sena tor from District No. 1. He declares himself as In favor of Statement No. 1. BALLOT TITLE IS VALID Suffrage Amendment Xot Seriously Defective, Crawford Holds. - wATjEM. Or., July IS. (Special.) Al though th ballot UU to tha proposed amendment to article H. section 2 of the constitution, relating to suffrage for all taxpayers, contains reference to only the last clause of the amendment. Attorney- General Crawford says that should the amendment be voted upon favorably it will stand. The ballot title- indicates that the amendment is to grant the right of suf frage to taxpayers, regardless of sex. But in the body of the proposed amend ment, which is partially copied from sec tion 2 of article II, In the opening sen tence the word "white male" is omitted. The effect of this omission, in case the amendment is carried, is to give equal suffrage to all citizens, regardless of sex or financial standing. - In the - closing clause of the section reference is made to suffrage for taxpayers, regardless of sex, and It was from this clause that the Attorney-General prepared his ballot title. "In the hurry to complete the titles and have them ready for the State Printer I entirely overlooked the omission of the words "white male'," he said today. "The ballot title must stand, however, and ap pear that way on the ballot. But this will not invalidate the amendment if It is passed. Under the initiative and refer endum, the voter casts his ballot with reference to the number of the measure and not with reference to the title. Con sequently, while no doubt the title is misleading and the amendment will grant much more than the title suggests, the voter is supposed to pay attention to the measure through the number and not through the title. "There is now no possible way of an plying a remedy to the defect in the title." ARMY POST NEAR EMPTY Greater Part of Troops Make Trip to Tacoma Dedication. VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash.. July 19.
