ST. JOHN STILL
REMAINS WET
BY COURTORDER
Supreme Court Holds That St. John
Charter, Is Superior to Local
Option Law.
Through nu opinion written by As
sociate Justice Will K. King, the su
preme court has announced an opin
ion in which it is held that the char
ter o the city of St. Johns is similar
to that of the city of Medford in that
it is superior to the local option law.
The St. Johns charier is held to be a
KiMwiul act authorized by an amend
ment adopted by the. initiative in 1900
by which the power is conlerred upon
J the city council of St. Johns to regu
late the sale of liquor.
The act was tested by an aetion
brought against Sam Cochran by the
prosecuting attorney for Multnomah
3 eonnty for a violation of the local op
tion law. Cochran, upon paying a fee
of $12(10, was granted a license to s.ell
liquor in St. Johns. The city couucil
granted the license after receiving the
advice of the city attorney to the ef
fect that the local option law did not
apply in St. Johns. Cochran was con
victed in the circuit court, but the
conviction is reversed by today's de-
cision and St. Johns is declared a
"wet" burg.
What distinction is pointed out be
tween the charters of the city of Med
ford and the city of St. Johns by the
district attorney are held by Justice
King to be inconsequential. For in
stance, it is held the word "regulate"
includes "to license."
