ROWNELL THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET lolations of the Constitution Must Cease by Those Who Oppose Revision Senator From Clack amas Will Fight All Bills for Appropriations That Are Unconstitutional Senator, Browncll throws down the gauntlet to senators who, whilo oppos ing the rovision of tho old constitution, are prono to violate its provisions in securing all kinds of appropriations, in violation thereof. HE IS OUT IN AN INTERVIEW SAYING THAT ALL SUCH MEASURES WILL BE ENJOINED IN THE COURTS. Tho following special was wired to thoPortlnnd Oregonian Into last night: Advocates of tho constitutional convention who were turned down in tho senate today, say thai tho payment of money from tho stntp treasurer in contravention of tho present constitution, will bo enjoined by suits in tho courts. This applies particularly to payment of unconstitutional salaries and to appropriations for state institutions located away from tho stnto capital. FLAORANT VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION MUST CEASE, IS THE WORD THAT HAS GONE OUT, AND IF THIS CAN NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED BY AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION IT WILL BE BY APPEAL TO THE COURTS. "A movement is on foot," said iioniitor Browncll , this ovoning, "to en join payment of any monoy fromi tho treasury of tho stnto of Oregon in violation of tho constitution. Thoro nro people in this stnto who nro get ting tired of this disregard of law, nnd thoy proposed to soo it stopped. "We havo been going on horo for years nnd years, paying unconstitutional salaries, and making appropriations for public Institutions away from tho capital. At overy session of tho legislature appropriations nro mado for sev eral normal schools nnd other institutions, all of which are located nwny from tho scat of government, in contravention of tho plain and direct re quirements of tho fundamental lnw of this' state. EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE A NUMBER OF TIMES TO CALL A CONVENTION SO AS TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION, BUT THESE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED, AND DEFEATED BY MEN WHO ASK THAT APPROPRIATIONS BE MADE CONTRARY TO THE CON STITUTION, WHICH THEY REFUSE TO HAVE CHANGED. ""When tho convention bill was voted upon in tho sonato today, Sonntors Pierce, Smith nnd Carter, who como from counties whore, thero nro normnl N schools, voted against the mensuro. Their votes would havo carried tho con vention bill, but thoy nro unwilling to lmvo tho constitution amended, antl wnnt npppropriations mado in violation of it. "Wo havo boon going on horo for nearly CO years under tho burden of tho gigantic graft in tho stnto printer's oflleo, and tho legislnturo will noithoc givo relief nor call a convention so that tho constitution can bo amended. "Under various subterfuges wo havo been paying unconstitutional salaries to stato officials, but that is going to stop. It is against normal schools that tho first movo will bo made, for it is felt that thero is tho least reason for tholr continuance. Suits montioncd by Senator Browncll will bo brought in pursuanco of tho decision of tho supromo court in tho Eastern Oregon nsylum cbbo, in which tho court rendered a decision perpetually enjoining tho expenditures of stnto funds for tho building of an nsylum in Union county. Tho court hold tho impropriation for this purposo was invalid, bocauso in contravention oC thnt soctlon of tho constitution which requires that all stato institutions shall bo located nt tho sent of government.
