Government By the People
Or Of the Courts
The opinion of Attorney General George A. Brown
that Governor Olcott may hold the office of chief ex
ecutive for the entire term for which the late Governor
Withycombe was elected, or until January, 1923, and
that the present governor may resign the office of Sec
retary of State and appoint his own successor to serve
until January 1, 1921, will be tested in the Supreme
Court.
The entire question presents a very unique and
unusual situation to the people of the state, and to the
mind of the ordinary layman, unaccustomed to fixing
his faculties on the legal aspect alone, a peculiar phase
is uppermost.
Oregon's constitution provides that the Governor
and the Secretary of State, among others, shall be elect
ed by the people. These two officials constitute a major
ity of the State Board of Control, a body that adminis
ters the affairs of practically every department of the
state's activities. But should Mr. Brown be correct in his
reasoning, and should the Supreme Court sustain his
position, the state would have a Governor whom the
people did not select, and a Secretary whom the people
did not endorse, and these two officials would run the
state, very largely.
Far be it from us, however, to anticipate the action
of our highest tribunal. We assume Mr. Brown is on
fairly safe ground. An attorney general does not like to
have his opinions cast to the four winds. His reputation
as an attorney general is at stake, to a degree. But the
situation is an interesting one for the contemplation of
the people as well as the lawyers.
