Constitutionality , of tha Initiative amendment to the Oregon constitution and the legality of all popular legisla tion enarted tnereunder are Involved In the suit of the Plate of Oregon against the Paclnc states Telephone Tele graph Company, which will soon be derided by the fnlted States Supreme Court. Briefs have been prepared by opposing parties to the suit and final argument probably will be reached nest month when the case will be sub mitted to the fclahest court In the land for final decision. The suit wss brought against the telephone company by the state for the recovery or 19.4S0.t alleged to be due as a license tux on the gross earn ings of the corporation under the pro visions of an Initiative law authorising such a tax. The state won Irs case In the trial court and again In the Oregon Supreme Court.- In resisting the suit, rounsrl for the telephone company as sailed the constitutionality of the Ini tiative amendment to the state con stitution, adopted by the people June 1. lol. The succeeding session of the legislature February 24. 10J. passed an enabling art. and June 14. 10. the people adopted under the Initiative a law Imposing a tax on the gross earn ings of the defendant telephone com pany. Wkale let Availed. In tlielr brief for the telephone com pany. Plllsbiiry. Madison A Hutro. of tan Francisco, and Carey Kerr, of tats city, base their appeal on the gen eral allegation that Initiative legisla tion Is unconstitutional since It violates the stste constitution and contravenes the Federal Constitution. whlrh -guarantees to every stata a republi can form of government." "Direct legislation may be In accord with the wishes of the vast majority of one or several of the states," sets forth the brief, "but that will not suffice to make It lawful. If It has no place la the orgsnlsatlon of our Government. If Its enforcement Is a violation of the Constitution of the Cnlted States, the courts must so declare, however great or small Its popularity. "Finally. It may be observed that the supremacy of the Federal Constitution s Invaded equally whether tha act be one that Is hostile to the rights of persons claiming the protection of the lswa or Constitution of the United States, or hostile ta the organisation or maintenance of the Federal Govern ment. It Is the contention here that Initiative legislation Is Invalid on both grounds. It Is contended by tha defendant company that the license tax measure adopted by the people Is void because -the Oregon constitutional amend ment under which It wa enacted by the direct vote of the people la repug nant to the Federal Constitution." (.marsalre ta Cltlseae Cited. On this subject, the brief says: -The Federal Constitution alms to guarantee to every cltlaen of the Cnlted States representation In government and the protection of a republican form of rule. The Irresponsible despotism of the multitude ha no place In our polity. The Issue here presented la whether a state may. by amendment of Its constitution, provide for general legislation by the people without the Intervention of representatives or a legislative Assembly. "Government by direct legislation violates the express guaranty by the Cnlted States that In each state there shall be a republican form of govern ment tConst. V. 8.. Art. IV. Sec. 4); It also violates the obligation of each atata of the I'nlon to maintain a repub llcan form of government and the In stitutions which are Inseparable from it. such as a representative Legisla ture, an executive and a Judiciary. Such legislation also denies to a resi dent of a state, where It obtains, the equal protection of the laws and due process of law. as guaranteed by the 14th amendment. "The constitution of Oregon, articla III. section 1 tantel. provides for three operate departments of government legislative, executive and Judicial and declares that no person charged with official duties under one shall exercise any of the functions of another "except as In this constitution expressly pro vided.' Cnder the Initiative amend ment to that constitution, a Governor or a Judge of the Supreme Court any executive or Judicial officer of the state becomes a legislator If he votes for a Uw. as he can do under that amend ment, and so exercises the legislative function. Tie might also propose laws. This Illustrates how the three depart ments of government may thus become blended- AtlsrsfTS See Daager. -The extent to which Initiative legis lation, as It Is now practiced In Ore gon, subverts the principles of our Government Is also Illustrated by the practical elimination now taking place In that state, of the difference between statute law and constitutional provi sions Thus at the election of Islt). tl constitutional amendments were sub mitted to the voters. It becomes ap parent that one of the fundamental princlplea of our Government, namely, thst a constitution in the nature of a bill of rights under which the people restrict themselves as to Individual privileges for the benefit of the nasa ls a security for the stability of gov ernment. Is likely to be overturned; for the constitution of Oregon, under the Initiative plan, may be changed as readily and frequently as the statutes and by minorities of all the voters, be rtuse It is optional with the author of any Initiative measure to determine whether It shall be presented as an amendment to the constitution or a statntorv enactment: the only practi cal difference belag that the legisla ture may repeal an objectionable statute, but a bad constitutional amendment remains operative In any event until the next genersl election when, through the Initiative. It may be abrogated by a majority of those voting upon that question. -This takes as back to the funda mental proposition that tinder our sys tem of government, there cat be but one source of legislation, but one law making power In a state, and that power a legislature chosen and acting a. contemplated by the Federal Con stitution. With two sources of legis lation In a state IB this rase wholly unlike In character and operation there can be no equal rights, no equal protection, no equal laws; and no real- dent of such a state may rest upon the assurance of the equal protection of the lswa" Dlreet learlslatlea Attacked. Continuing, counsel argues that the Initiative la in contravention of a re publican form of government and sub versive of the, principles upon which the republic was founded. For that reason it Is contended that direct leg islation Is repugnsnt to that form of government with which alone Congress could admit a state to the I'nlon and which the state Is bound to maintain. In support of the contention that Ini tiative legislation Is Invalid because government by the people directly is Inconsistent with "our form of govern ment," the brief says: "It hss been shown that the vital element In a republican form of gov ernment, as ' that phrase Is used In American political aclence. Is represen tation. Legislation by the people di rectly Is the very opposite; the nega tive of this principle. It can. there fore, have no place In our form of government. Indeed. It has been re peatedly said to be contrary to and subversive of the structure of our re public" Counsel further contends that the Federal Constitution presupposes In each state the maintenance of a re publican form of government and the existence of State Legislatures, that is. representative assemblies having the power to make the laws: that In each state the powers of government will be divided Into three departments: a Legislature, an executive end a Judic iary. Of these three departments. It Is alleged the Legislature Is destroyed by the Initiative. I acwaetltatleaalKy la Alleged.

More convinced than ever that the future of the lumber Industry of Ore gon and Washington depends upon somo plan of co-operation among the mills, Henry J.

Fierce has visited every Important lumber producing district on the Coast and without exception the inillmen were agreed that the proposed merger of the tidewater mills would be the only procedure by. which the lumber business could be placed on a paying basis. Mr. Fierce Is sanguine over the prospects of the early organisation of the lumbermen Into one Immense co operative company. The majority "of the mlllmen have signified their In tentions of becoming affiliated with the merger. It Is probable that every large plant In the two states will par ticipate In the plan. Operation at Lose, la Said. "In my recent travel, from Belllng ham. Waiih.. to San Francisco. CaL. I have found that the mills generally are operating at a loss.- said Mr. Pierce. -In other words, the people of this Coast are making a Christmas present every day In the year to the purchasers of our lumber and we are becoming relatively poorer for every tree we cut This condition can only be remedied. In my Judgment, ihrough the consolida tion of the tidewater mills. "True conservation Implies the use of our natural assets to the highest degree possible. To fritter away these magnificent forests of ours and bring virtually nothing back In the shape of profits to help develop the country after the timber has been removed is almost criminal and Is certalaly moral ly wrong. "In a report Just Issued by Leonard Bronson. manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. It Is shown that the stocks of lumber Increased heavily on the Pacific Coast In August, thus prolonging unfavorable prlca conditions, accounting , for the fact that the majbrlty of the mills are selling their product at cost or below cost. Many Mills Closed. The reason why the Coast cities are all relatively quiet Is due almost entirely to the fact that the steady stream of gold which formerly flowed back to these states In the shape of profits has practically ceased. "In tha City of Everett, Wash., there are only three lumber mills of the seven plants there that are operating at present. The same condition la prev alent in the lumber producing sec tions of both states. If the company 1 am laboring to bring into existence Is formed, we shall at once try to reach out for new and broader markets. Dis tributing yards would be established In Boston. New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. From these centers Interior rail shipments could be made Into the most densely-populated sections of the United States. -Assuming that the water rate on lumber from thla Coast to the Atlantle seaboard would b IS centa on 10 pounds, or an average of about T per 1000 feet, we could then add to this water rate a rail rate of say JO cents to the Interior, making a total com bined water and rail rate of 66 cents. This amount would be Just equal to the present rate between the Pacific Coast and Chicago. This example gives an Idea of the possibilities of the Panama Canal as a factor In reducing rates on Pacific Coast lumber to the Eastern seaboard and Interior points aa welL Fleet May Oatarrawtk. "A company such as we propose to organise could coaduct the Eastern business on an txtenslve scale The establishment of large distributing yartis require too much capital for any Individual company to undertake. "In connection with these yards the proposed company would own and oper ate Its own fleet of vessels, taking lum ber East and bringing such cargoea as It could secure westward. In this con nection. I wish to lend my hearty sup port to the resolution Introduced by J. X. Teal, counsel for the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association, asking Congress to pass a bill which would relieve American vessels engaged In domestic trade between any sections of the United States from the payment of canal tolls. England, through her dominion of the Sues Canal, provides for an Indirect remission of tolls to lnallsh vessels traversing the canal. "Eight other countries.

Future Settlesaeat Seen. Mr. Pierce referred to the movement that has been started for the develop ment of the logKed-onT lands In Oregon and Washington, declaring that these lands are the most fertile cheap hold ings left for settlement. "It would be one of the policies of the proposed company to carry forward as a part of It. work the clearing and settling of the cut-over land. a. rapldly a. the Umber Is removed." continued Mr. I'lerce. "The plow should follow the ax. By pushing an aggressive cam paign along this line we would not only build up thrifty communities but also produce practically all the food supplies the Industry requires to feed the army of workmen engaged In the manufacture of lumber. Instead of Im porting tralnloads of hogs from Ne braska and eggs and poultry from Iowa, we would encourage settlers to till and cultivate these lands and keep the money at home which Is now paid out In great sums to other states. "It would be my Idea that the new company should clear these lands and sell them at very low prices, thus af fording the settler an opportunity at once to commence earning a livelihood besides furnishing a steady and con stant supply of honest and sturdy labor to equip the mills and camps, as well as"'to aid In supplying the market, of the Coast cities."
