He Discusses the Jayne Bill and its Relation to Corvallis and Local Option. - The Jayne bill has attracted so much attention here lately, the contents of which are so little known, I will refer to one of tbe provisions in this bill; also to sec tion three of the present local option law.'in order that readers may see how the present law applies to Corvallis and what effect the Jayne bill would have had in Corvallis, provided it had become a law. Section 3 of the present local option law reads as follows: "if, under the provisions of this act election shall be demanded wholly or in part in any incorporated city or town, or any ward or precinct therein, to be held at the time of the city or town election, occurring in1 a year in which there is no general election, then the county clerk shall notify the proper autfa ority of such city or town, that such election has been demanded in order that such city or town auth ority may cause the official ballots to be prepared in advance with the; provisions of this act, and the city auditor or clerk or recorder as the case may be, shall make return to the county clerk of the vote for and against prohibition in the said precincts of said city or town, and thereafter such matter shall pro ceed as in the case of a general election." I think it will be read ily seen that under this law which is now in force the saloon interests can demand an election at our reg ular city election occurring May next, not only as to the whole of the city, J but can demand an election in : one ward or precinct if they see fit. . This would enable them to concentrate all their forces on one warcL and would no doubt carry it in spite of all opposition. Now in the so much dreaded Jayne bill as it passed the house, it will be found that section 1 starts off as follows- "Whenever a peti tion therefore signed by not less than 30 per cent of the legal voters of any precinct of any county in this ' state shall be filled with the county clerk ot such county, such precinct shall be wholly within or wholly without an incorporated city or town. We have no such precint in the city of Corvallis all of which extend outside the city limits. These precincts cannot be changed under our laws before November 06, and not then unless the county court shall deem it advisable. I think it will be plainly seen, that if the Jayne bill had become a law, it would not have been possible for the saloon interests in Corvallis to have even demanded a vote on this question June 1, '08. As nearly all'the towns m the state went wet at the last election, - the Jayne bill was evidently prepared for the purpDse ot protecting these wet towns but in doing so, the framer's of this bill : lost sight of the effect it would have in the few towns like Cir-allis that went drv. Some of the saloon men in Corvallis caught 1 on !o the effect this bill would have! in Corvallis, aud during the last i few days of the session I received' not only requests from the temper- ante people, but a few very urgent Iett rs from the saloon men in Cor- vallis, requesting me to vote against the Jayne bill. . i The amendments to the Jayne bill, known as the Coe amendments, were incorporated in the report of the senate judiciary committee, which provided that on a petition of hot less than 25 per cent of the legal voters of a town like Corvall is could vote only as a whole, net by wards or precinets; and further provided that the election should not be held before the first Monday in June 1906, and. only biennially thereafter. I favored and voted for these amendments which wjjld have passed the : Senate had they come in a little earlier so the Sen ators could have had more time to examine them. The majority of the senators including myself," were in favor of passing some measure that could not be justly charged with unfairness by either side that after being submitted to the people and a vote taken, would set tle the question for a few years at least. We i-oped to eliminate what we consider the most .objectionable and dangerous feature of the pres ent law, allowing only ten per cent of the voters on either side to force an election upon the people every year on this question. ,; - ' ' ; P.
