WASHINGTON. Nov. 3 (Special.)
"irnquestlonably the Supreme Court
will decide that th Initiative and
referendum are constitutional," . said
Senator Ilotirne today.
"My opinion la that th court will
hold the question Is purely political,
entirely within the Jurisdiction of the
states under the Constitution. I have
not seen any member of the court,
but I reached th conclusion after a
consultation this morning with one
of the nation' ablest constitutional
lawyers. In my mind there 1 no
doubt that -th decision of the Su
preme Court will favor th Inltlatlv
and referendum as constitutional.'
Said Senator Chamberlain: "Th
Oregon system ha had Judicial con

CHAUTAUQUA
OREGON CITY READY
Although handicapped by the loss
of two of It best men, th Oregon
City football team Is practicing every
evening, preparing for what will un
doubtedly b their hardest fought
game of tb season, when tb team
line up against th crack Holladay
Athletic Club team of Portland at
Canemab Park tomorrow.
Roos, 'captain and left "end, waa
forced to give up bis football career
on account '-of It Interfering with
hi school workC" Moore, right -n,
who sufTered a broken collar bone In,
the gam against th 8tars of Port
land last Sunday will be out of the
gam for some time, but says be will
le back at bla old position for th
Thanksgiving Day game. It Is this
kind of spirit that make football
team. Tb filling of the tow end
positions Is causing no little worry
to th management ' It la likely that
Cole will play on end and either
.Lageson or Slier tb other.
Chet Cawthers was elected captain
of the team Thursday night to fill
lb vacancy caused by Roos' resigna
tion. Cawthers I without a doubt,
on of the fastest half backs of any
team In the state at bis weight, as
hia record of seven touchdowns out
of the eleven made thla season will
show.
Freeman, the other half, and Lang
at full, play their respective posi
tion brilliantly. On player, whose
work bas long escaped the critics' at
tention. Is the silent left tackle,
"Auk" Smith. It Is almost Impossi
ble to put a play through this man's
position and his offensive work It
fine. As an Interference man be Is
a effective as a' bust saw. In fact
the whole team la a well balanced ag
gregation. It la thought that a banner crowd
will turn out Sunday to root for the
bom team as the support of loyal
fans goes a long way In helping th
team to win.

BOARD TO ENFORCE
NEW STALLION UW
Attention of tb owner of stallions
aad-Jaeks I alled to the new stallion
law which went into effect May 20,
1911. A number of horsemen have
not complied with the provisions of
this law. It is ' necessary - that all
stallion and Jack used for public!
service must be licensed by the State
Stallion Registration Board at Cor
vallls, and that they must be inspect
ed by an official Inspector appointed
by thla board. Attention is also called
to tb fact that, according to thla
law, stallions which were In th sUts
at the time th law went Into effect
and licensed during th first season
will be licensed even though unsound,
although such unsoundness will be
stated in the Hcense. All horses, how
ever, which are not used for public
service and licensed during tb first
season will be refused license and
not allowed to stand for public service
unless they pass the proper veteri
nary inspection. It is very Important
therefore, that horsemen who are
delinquent In thh matter get in their
applications at once. Stallion owners
who have Already received licenses
for their horses will confer a favor
upon their neighbors by calling their
attention to thla fact.
Horsemen are also urgently re
quested not to purchase stallion or
Jacks until after they have been in
spected by one of the state Inspectors
and have received their state license,
for otherwise It may prove that suc&
stallions or Jacks -may prove unsound
and hence not eligible to be used for
breeding purposes in this state, or it
may be found that tbetr pedigrees
are bogus and that they will have
to be licensed aa grades or mongrels
Instead of pure breds as represented.
