INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITY ON PANAMA CANAL (Continued from Page 4) the republic of Panama of any such sovereign rights, power or authorityj "There is no room for hair split ting on that point. Within the canal zone the United States is sovereign for all the purposes of international law. Under that law it is well set tled that a treaty becomes 'voidable,' not void, whenever a change has taken place in the fundamental conditions existing at the time it was made. Hall, the brightest Engilish authority on international law, has thus stated the matter: "The principal which haB been mentioned as being a sufficent test of the existence of obligatory force or of the voidability of a treaty at a given moment may be stated as fol lows: Neither party to a contract can make its binding effect depend ent at will upon conditions other than those contemplated at the moment when the contract was entered into, and on the other hand, a contract ceases to be binding so soon as any- Mpgwhicn rorms an lmpnea con dition of its obligfltdfy T6re&t."!2 time of its conclusion is essentialy altered. After citing causes in which treat ies have been abrogated under similar circjmstances, Mr. Taylor says: "The radical change wrought in conditions existing at the time of the making of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by the transformation of the canal zone from foreign territory Into do mestic territory of the United States beyond all question renders the treaty voidable' at the instance of the United States, under the principles of international law above. Apart from our peculiar position ana ngnm under the 'Monroe Doctrine, ' how can we permit the European powera so far to interfere with our domestic affairs as to dictate the regulations to be made or the tolls to be charged in a domestic waterway, built within our own territory? Certainly, no pat riotic American statesman or pub licist should ever consent to the sub mission of such purely American and domestic interests to the abirtrament of The Hague tribunal which will always be dominated by European iurista naturally hostile to use on questions of that character. GOV. WEST COMPLETES LONG TRIP Greeted by Governor Haw. ley in Middle of Snake River IJridge nor West to Nynsa was a big day in the little city. About 20 of the citizens of that place, all riding horses, met the governor at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon about half way between Nyssa and Vale and escorted him in to their city. The whole town was thrown open and there was a day of general celebration in honor of the distinguished guest. A public meet ing waa held in the opera house, at which Governor West spoke. He ex plained his parole system and talked on irrigation and good roads. The trip which Governor WeRt has just completed is said to be the most unique ever made by any governor during the time in which he was in office. He left Salem two weeka ago and rode, unescorted, across the entire state, stopping at the towns and cities along the road, where he preached good roads and talked on other topics pertaining to the wellfare of the citizens of the stats. He rode over rough mountain traila and across the of Weatherl I SBEe D1UBh desert under the heat of the t io burning sun. Many of the places li tp 12 range . , , . . . , VIBIbCU vy uu.ciiiw nco.

Although it was intended that Gov ernors West and Hawley should ride together from the state line to Boise, owing to the injury which Governor Hawley suBtaindlnan accident several days ago, it was decided not to take the horeslaok trip, as planned. Gov. Weet Enjoit Ride "I thoroughly enjoyed the trip across the state, said Governor West last night. Fatigued from his day'a jour ney, he went immediately to the home of Governor Hawley upon hia arrival n Roise last night. He is being en tertained by the governor. This morning Governor West will attend to his correspondence, which as been sadly neglected during his ride across the state. Today ho, to gether with Governor Hawley, will visit the state penitentiary, and will take an automobile trip through Boise and vicinity, visiting various places of nterest. Luncheon will be given at the Com mercial club Wednesday noon in honor of Governor West. Governor Hawley and ex-Governor Brady, as well as state officials, will be present. nw Ore Court House News Among the new complaints filed In the circuit court is one in which J.E. Lawrence sues W.E.

Treadwell. attorney for the Pacific Livestock company of Califor nia, has been received by the state board of control, requesting removal of the adjudication of the waters of the Silvies river in Harney county, from the state board of control to the federal court. On the other hand a atrong protest from the water users' associa tion of that district has also been re ceived by the board of control. For the first time this raises the question whether the state board of control is a judicial body, or only ad ministrative. In the past the board has been working under the assump tion that it was only administrative In which case a petition for removal of the case would be ignored, but if the body is judicial then the act of filing the petition automatically trans fers the abjudication case to the fed eral court for hearing. State Engineer Lewis is looking up the law. The livestocK company contends a federal question is involved as it is a foreign corporation.
