A charter was amended by the people yf Coquille under the provisions of Uvs amendment. Its val'dity was contested up to the supreme court of the sute. The dec s on was against the amendment on the ground that the amendment was in sonfilct with the criminal law of the state. The question as to the right of the people to adopt by popular vote was not ques tioned nor could it be. Note the constitutional provision. .' The legislative assembly shall not. enact, amend or repeal any charter or act of incorporation for any municipality, city or town. The legal voters of tvery city and town are hereby granted power to enact and amend their municipal charter sub ject to the constitution and criminal laws cf the stMe of Oregon." The only restric tions or reservations are "subject to con stitution and criminal law" and these are the only points on which an attack can be made in court. , The legislature is pro hibited from taking an action whatever. The next point is the method of pro- iceedure. It is stated "The lega! voters cf every city ami town are hereby granted power to ecactand amend their own charters." This is Sfabsolute and exclusive power. I Nafcod'y outside of the city has anything to J say' about it.'"' The mayor and city council of the city of La Grande has the proper authority to formulate and prepare the charter and submit it to a popular vote. The present charter says: "The power and.authority Riven to this municipal cor poral.on is vested in a mayorand council." The mayor and council has full power to act in this matter according to their chartered powers. They have power to call an election for any municipal purpr.se. The cnarter will no doubt be passed by the council. The election wiil be called soon. None of the attorneys in La Grande see any cb;e:?:er. to cur pr:gramrrte. Th proposi tion will be carried through cn ssheduls time. Techrica1 objections reported from other , tcwrs d.n't rut any figure. J. B. Stoddard V- ' ' ' 'S . r ...
