Opinion of Judge Hanna.
(From Saturday's Dally.)
The written opinion by Judge H.
K. Hanna In the case of J. C Hall
vs. George W, Dunn et al., which
waa (lied yesterday morning as an
nounced In yesterday's MorniiiK
Mall, la as follows:
'The ( Medford charter reads as
follows:
'Section 19. To license, regu
late or prohibit barrooms, drinking
shops, billiard rooms, bowling al
leys, dance houses and all places
where spirituous, malt or vinous
liquors are sold or kept for sale, Ir
respective of any general law of the
siute on this subject enacted by the
legislature or by the people at large;
provided, that no license ror the
ttule of spirituous, malt or vinous
liquors shall be granted for any less
amount, than la or may bo provided
by the general laws of the state In
force ut the time of granting there
of; and further provided, tbat the
city shall not at any' time license
drinking shops or other places where
Intoxicating llquorr are sold to sell
Intoxicating liquors on Sunday.'
It has been contended that the
legislature was without authority
to grant the power embraced in said
charter to the city. An examina
tion" of our constitution as It exist
ed at the time of granting said
charter shows that but few restric
tions or limitations were placed up
on the legislature In Its granting
charters to muulcfiml corporations,
and it would seem that If It is consti
tutional to kih nt the people the right
to amend our constitution and enact
all other laws by Initiative, It would
be equally so to grant the powers
it has attempted to do nuder the
charter.
The defence conceding that the
legislature hud the iower to grant
the charter, the next question Is, has
it .been, repealed? The local option
law was passed June, 1903, and be
fore the act granting said charter.
t nmst be presumed from the word-
lug of said subdivision 19 and from
the enactment of the repealing
clause embraced In section 115 that
the legislature had In mind and were
directly referring to the existing lo
cal option law. In fact, has not
been contended by the defense that
the charter had been repealed by
either the legislature or by vote of
the people, but It Is contended that
subdivision 19 Is suspended by vote
of the people taken. under the local
option law. But the defense does
not point out, nor do I find where
the people have been granted tut
power to suspend any of the provis
ions of said charter.
In June, 1906, the people amend-:
ed section 2 of Article XI of the con
stitution of Oregon so that It reads
hb follows:
Coiihtiiiitiitii of Oregon.
" 'Corporations may be so formed
under general laws, but shall not be
created by the legislative assembly
by special laws. The legislative as
sembly shall not enact, amend or re
peal any charter or act of Incorpo
ration for any municipality, city or
town. The legal voters or every
city and town are hereby granted
power to enact and amend their mu
nicipal charter, subject to the con
stitution and criminal laws of the
stateof Oregon.'
The legislature cannot confer
even to the people any greater power
than It possesses. If the legislature
-an not under the constitution as
amended either enact, amend or re
peal any municipal charter, it cannot
confer upon the people the right to
do so except as provided by said
amendment, which places such pow
er exclusively in the hands of the
legal voters of the city or town.
Relief by In junction.
It Is nrgod that the plaintiff has
mistaken his remedy, that he Is not
entitled to a hearing en equity. It
is true that a party Is not entitled
to relief by injunction where he has
a plain, speedy and adequate rem
edy at law. But, conceding plaint
Iff's contention as to the rights and 1
powers conveyed nndt-r said charter, i
has he a plain, speedy and adequate
remedy at law? If the order I
against which he is moving should
be made by the county court the law
would not come to his defense or re
lief until he has been arrested, In
dicted and placed upon his trial. I
am compelled to think the com
plaint states a cause of suit and that
the plaintiff Is entitled to be heard
In equity. Under this rule of the
law the demurrer must be over
ruled. ,"I very seldom set out In writing
my decision when passing upon a
case, knowing full well that the rea
soning of the lower court In reaching
a decision will not be inquired Into
by the appellate court, and I have
departed from the rule in this case
principally from the fact that mis
Informed, though perhaps well
meaning Individuals, actuated by
their zeal In the cause of prohibition,
have addressed anonymous com
munications to me under the Idea
that the court could act in this mat
ter nnder his Individual feelings, not
realizing tnat a Judge would be un
worthy his seat upon the bench who
would decide rase upon his per
sonal feelings or upon the clamor
of the public except as they accord
with the law as understood by him
"No decisions of other courts

Celebration At Trail.
Our country's natal day was very
appropriately observed by the citl-!

people from the surrounding country
began to assemble and by ten o'clock 1
nearly 200 people were present. An
excellent program was rendered b
the school children at the close or
which the speaker of the day, Mr
Leonard Smith of Medford, was In
troduced by Prof. H. E. Inlow of the'
Cottage Grove public schools. Mr.
Smith Is a young man with a growing
reputation as a public speaker and
delivered a masterful address which
gained the well-merited applause of
the audience.
At noon a bountiful repast was
partaken, of and the afternoon way
given over to sports.
In the evening, the young pt-ople
repaired to Allen's hall to enjoy the
dance. This occasion was especially
conspicuous by he absence of rowdy
ism which has heretofore attended
like events, and shows conclusively
that this factor Is u necessary to the
enjoyment of the day.
