The Supreme Court today decided the case of Kadderly vs. Portland, upholding the validity of the referendum amend ment and declaring that it 1b the, prov ince of the Legislature and not of the conrts to determine when an emergency exists. The initiative and referendum amendment is therefore a part of the constitution. Under the construction placed upon its language by the Su preme Court, the Legislature can place anv act in effect immediately bv declar ing that the preservation of tbeublic health, peace or safety requires that the act shall take effect atone. The opin ion in the case was written by Justice R: S. Bean. It fills 36 pages of type written legal cap paper, and discusses at lengtn all the questions involved ana quotes from a large number of authori ties. It was quite generally expected that the decision would be handed down to day and a number of members of the Legislature were in the court room wheu the court convened at 12 o'clock. The 'tiMainii will he nf gome effect on leeiS' laiion contemplated at this session, for, under this deciaion. there can be no ones tion as to the power of the Legislature to put a remedial tax law into effect at once and to, correct in the same manner the defects in other laws. CIRCUIT COURT NOT ENTIRELY AFFIRMED. While the Supreme Court affirmed the decree of the lower court, it did not place its decision npon the same grounds as did the lower court. The Circuit Court held that the referendum was not legally adopted, and that the legislature bad the power under the old constitu tion to put the Portland charter into ef fect at once. The Supreme Court holds that the amen lment was legally adopt ed, and that under the new form of emereencv clause the Legislature can declare an emergency which will be conclusive. -Ji dose In time save Uvea."
