COLLEGE,
A question has arisen as to whether or
not ttie people of La Grande can! legally
adopt a charter by a popular vote hefore
the legislature meets and ratifies the
amendment to tha constitution and pre
scribe rule's or methods of . proceedure to
properly carry into effect the provisiors of
this constitutional amendment.
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.
