LAW IS OPERATIVE
Initiative and Referendum Is
Now in Force.
BUT SHOULD BE MORE SPECIFIC
Fsmaira ef Iair Demanded Which,
fViU Kalce Clear Manner of Pro

for Special Session.
" - 1 '
SALEM, Nov. 4. (Special.) Although
the Attorney-General has rendered an
opinion in -which -ho holds that the Initia
tive and" referendum amendment Isuiow
In effect, there are many who question the
soundness of his view for the reason that
they cannot see any laws which guarantee
xo the people the opportunity to exercise
the Initiative and referendum powers. In
his opinion the Attorney-General han
tdled the subject only upon broad prin
ciples of construction of constitutional
amendments, and did not attempt to point
out the laws which secure to the people
the rights they have reserved to them
selves. The argument has been made that
the Initiative and referendum amendment
Mb Inoperative because there Is no method
of proceeding provided by which the peo
Spl can compel the state officers to submtt
'to them any question for the submission
of -which they may petition. Since this is
tea Important question, and one that vital
lly affects the amendment. The Oregonlan
jcorreepondent has inspected the laws on
the eubject and Interviewed a number of
(lawyers and officials in order to ascertain
le real status or tne matter, ox wouia
that the proceedings by which an
may be submitted to the people are
"tinted out. and also that the duty of the
officials in the matter Is so plainly de
clared that mandamus proceedings would
Ta available If any officer refused to do
his duty.
At the start the Oregonlan correspond
ent approached the Secretary of State,
Who is charged with the duty of prepar
ing' the official ballot upon which all
jjtieitions must be submitted to the people.
Mr. "Dunbar was asked this question:
"If the required number of voters sign
-fend file- in your office a petition asking
that a certain measure be submitted to
them, do you consider it your duty to
submit it 'as demanded, and would you
submit It?"
"I certainly do think it my duty to sub
mit the matter, and I would. submit It by
placing the subject upon the official bal
lot, so that the people, could vote for or
against the measure, as they might see fit.
I would have to do this under the opinion
of the Attorney-General, who is my legal
adviser. It seems to me that the amend
ment and the laws of the state provide
the manner In which a measure shall be
submitted, and if the Secretary of State
should refuse to submit a measure, he
could be compelled to do so by mandamus
proceedings. I would not hesitate amo
mont to submit any measure in compli
ance with the petition provided for In the
amendment."
Provisions of the Amendment.
The last clause of the amendment pro
vides that "petitions and orders for the
initiative and for the referendum shall be
filed with the Secretary of State, and in
submitting the same to the people, he and
all other officers shall be guided by the
general laws and the act submitting this
. amendment, until legislation shall be
especially provided therefor-" This clause
shows that it was Intended that the peo
ple should have the power to exercise the
initiative .and referendum privilege, even
though there should be ho especial legis
lation therefor. -It is declared that the
officers shall be governed by- the general
laws, and. the act submitting that amend
ment, so ' an inspection of those laws is
necessary to show the procedure to be fol
lowed in submitting.a measure to the peo
pie. The question then may be stated this
way, as'.ari example: If the jiext Legis
lature should pass an act creating the of'
flee of Hop Inspector, what proceedings
are necessary in order that the "people
may have it submitted to them?
The amendment Itself provides that pe
titions t or'-the referendum must be signed
by 5 per oent ot the legal voters of the
state, and that the whole number of votes
cast for Justice of the Supreme Court at
the last preceding election shall be the
basis on which the number of legal vot
ers necessary .to sign such petition shall
be counted. The amendment also pro
vides that the petition shall be filed with
the Secretary-of State. Thus far the pro
ceedlngs are. clear. Those who oppose the
Hop Inspector law can circulate a peti
tlon asking the Secretary ot State to sub
mlt to a vote of the people an act creating
the office of Hop Inspector passed by the
Legislative Assembly -xm a certain day
When this petition has .been signed by i
per cent of the voters it. must be filed in
the office of tho Secretary of State;
It has been said that the Secretary of
State may refuse to submit the question
to the people -upon the ground that some
of the signers are not legal voters. In
answer to this, it is only necessary to say
that in mandamus proceeding's brought
against Secretary of- State Klricald, the
Supreme; Court held that that official has
no right to inquire into or question the
facts further than they are shown on the
face of the petition. If the petition is reg
ular on its lace, he has no alternative but
to acceptlt. -Provisions
of General LarrsT
, Section 49 of the election laws provides,
that the official ballot shall contain the
names of (1) candidates for state offices,
(2) for district. and county offices, (3) for
precinct offices, (4) for other offices or con
stitutional amendments or questions sub
mitted to a Vote of the people, , A measure
to be submitted under the referendum
would come under the last class. It Is
provided that the ballot shall be printed
so as to give each elector a clear oppor
tunity to designate his choice of candi
dates, and ,his answer to the questions
submitted by making a mark to the left
of the name of the candidate he wishes to
vote for for each office, or to the left of
the answer he wishes to make to each
question submitted. On the ballot may be
printed such words as will aid the elector
to do this, as "yes" and "no" and the1
like.
It is made the duty of the Secretary, of
State to - certify to the several county
clerks the information to be placed upon
the ballot, so far" as state matters are
concerned, and it is made the duty of the
County Clerks to have the ballots printed
in the form prescribed. Under these gen
eral lawp, it is declared that when the
petition for the submission of the Hop In
spector law is filed, the Secretary of State
must, at "the proper time, arrange It in his
- certificate to the count- clerks in some
such form as this:
Hop Inspector act Yes.
Hop Inspector act io.
So that the people may express -a. choice,
and the County Clerks must have the
question printed , upon the official ballots.
Act Submitting the Amendment.
The act submitting the amendment, re
ferred to as specifying a part of the pro
cedure, provides t4e same manner of
placing the question on the ballot. This
act is found on page 4 of the laws of 190L
That act .also requires the County Clerks
to certify: the vote .to the Secretary of
State within 20 days after election, and
requires the Secretary of State to publish
the result, within 30 days in at least 10
papers In .-the.-state. The act also pro
vides that the Governor -shall- cause the
amendment to,be -published for -five" cqn
Jecutive weeks In; 'One "newspaper in each
Judicial district, and this requirement
would apply to acts submitted under the
referendum as well.
It will, therefore, be seen from the
above that there is a complete mode of
procedure prescribed by which questions
may be submitted under the referendum,
and the laws and acts prescribing the
procedure use the word "shall," so that
the officers have no option In the matter.
Especial TLca-Islatlon Needed.
At the same time very prominent law
yers express the opinion that, while the
initiative and referendum amendment Is
not only In effect, but is also operative
for all purposes, still it would bo much
better if an act were passed applying to
this subject in particular, and not refer
ring to elections in general. At present
one must "hunt through the amendment,
.the abt submitting the amendment, and
the general laws, in order to discover the
procedure to be followed. It Is intended
that the Legislature shall pass special leg
islation, and the proceedings will not be
so clear that he who runs may read until
such legislation has been enacted. That
such legislation is of sufficient importance
to. be considered In calling a special ses
sion has been asserted by several well
known attorneys who take no stock in
the argument that the amendment is in
operative without legislation.

NEW SCHOOL RULING.
Residence of Parents to Decide
Drawing- ot School Money.
SALEM. Nov. 4. (Special.) Superin
tendent" of- Public Instruction J. H. Ack
erman has rendered "the following deci
sion, which declares that the residence of
the parent "or guardian, rather than the
place whero a pupil is enumerated, de
termines the place where a child Is en
titled to attend school without paying
tuition:
"School boards shall admit free of
charge to the schools of their respective
districts all persons between, the ages of
6 and 21 whose parents or guardians re
side In such districts, at the time of mak
ing application for free admittance to such
schools; even though such persons may
have been at the last enumeration legally
enumerated In some other district."
This ruling will make a change In the
practice In this state, for it has been
generally held that If a child Is enumer
ated In one district and school money is
drawn for him In that district he can
not attend elsewhere without paying tui
tion. Born In The Dalles in 18S4.

FISH WAYS NOT PROVIDED
MASTER. WAIlDEjr -VATS' DUSEN RE
PORTS INSPECTION MILL DAMS.
Finds Lnvr Violated In Many Cases,
and Insists on Mill Owners Far
nlshlngr Good Fish Ways.
SALEM, Nov. 4. (Special.) Tho month
ly report of Master Fish Warden H. G.
Van Dusen shows that that official has
been making a vigorous Inspection of mill
dams to see whether proper flshways are
provided. He finds that In very many
cases the law Is violated and no way Is
provided for fish to pass the dams. His
report says In part:
A great deal of complaint has been lodged
with this deoartmpnt of late over the matter
of mlllmen and Irrigating and mlnlnc ditch
men dammlnir the waters ot the state without
providing any passageway whatever for tho
fish to either ascend or descend the streams.
They are generally low dams and no obstruction
during high water, but as our waters remain
high only a very short portion ot the year,
I look upon, them as being very serious affairs:
other dams aro very massive and substantial
and are complete obstructions at all times.
Some of these I visited during the month,
and beg to report relative to them as follows:
Across "Clear Creek, a tributary of the Clack-
Mrs. Mary Jane Starkey, of 'Salem.
amos River, there are three; one is near thti
Logan oostoffl.ee, the other two are three and
four miles above, situated near the "Viola post
offlce, and are owned respectively by Gustavtt
Fisher, of Logan; C. G. Stone, of Viola, and
the "Walker Bros., of Viola., The Fisher and
Stone dams I found to be about 20 feet high,
and old obstructions, having been In across
the stream for years, with no pretense of a.
flshway. The Walker Bros.' dam was In course
of construction. These people all assured me
that "they would comply with the law and pro
vide flshways In accordance with the 'improved
Call system," but felt that a little time should
be allowed them on account ot their being
situated in the 'immediate Sprlngwater dis
trict," which- was completely burned out re-'
cently. In consequence they claimed that lt
would !o almost Impossible for them to get
such miierlal from the mills as would be
necessary in the construction. Considering It
very essential that such flshways be built of
good material, and put in in a strong and
substantial manner. I felt that their request
might bo nranted and that a little time be
allowed them In consequenco thereof.
Near tit mouth of Johnson Creek. Clacka
mas Coun y. there are a couple of small low
water dams ywned by Mr. R. G. Church, who
Is very desirous of retaining them, there, and
that he tiilcht be privileged to do so, assured
me that he would comply with the law Imme
diately and furnish proper flshways over them..
Acros3 the Umatilla River, a mile and .a"
half 'from Its mouth, the Holbrook Ditch Com
parfy has a dam for tho purpose of diverting
the water from the river Into Its 'ditch for
irrigating purposes. During the extreme dry
portions of the year, all the wator that the
river carries Is taken from the river bed Into
the Irrigating ditch, leaving practically no
water to flow down the river bed from this
dam to the mouth of the river, excepting what
little leaks through the dam and through Its
ditch flume, -which Is a very trifling amount.
Above tho dam the river Is quite a little stream
and Is bountifully supplied with trout and
other flih. but how we are going to maintain
'It as a trout and .flsh stream with tho waters
practically all taken for Irrigating purposes
will remain to be seen. The people on the
upper waters Interested In "flsh" are very
anxious about the matter, and think that flsh
should be privileged the stream as hereto
fore. Mr. F. B. Holbrook, manager of the
ditch comrany, assured me that he would
comply with the law fully, and furnish a fish
way through the dam, admitting flsh at ali
stages of the season. At La Grande, the La
Grande Electric Light & Power Company hag
a dam across the Grand Ronde River for
power purposes. This dam Is .about 14 feet
high, and I found It to be a complete obstruc
tion, though It Is provided with a flush gate
that it allows to remain open during certain
stages of the water, through which, It con
tends, flsh can ascend and descend tho river.
1 notified it that It was not a legral flsh way,
and that It would have, to provide the dam with
an "Improved Call system." Joseph Palmer,
the manager of the company, assured me that
immediate steps would be taken towards get
ting it in.
Below this dam a few hundred yards the
Ore Dell Ditch Company has a wing dam ex
tending entirely across the rlvrr. made ot loose
ww, o,i ii, 0 o ion fnr it irrif-ntintr
rock and brush, as a lead for Its Irrigating
ditch. It was not more than a foot high,
but for all that, was a complete obstrucyon,
and one of those very common Irrigating ditch

Above the dam ot the La Grande Electric

Lumber Company has' three or four dams In
across the Grand Rondo River- for logging and
mill purposes. I have notified It relative to the
law and will Insist on Its complying with It
and furnishing good and sufficient flshways
for each dam.
The report also says that the take, of
salmon eggs on the Clackamas River this
season was small, owing to tho fact that
fish did not get .up the river as far as
the hatchery. On the Grand Ronde S.000,
C00 eggs were taken, and the season has
bqen a successful one. The new hatch
ery on Salmon River Is nearly completed,
and 1,500,000 young fry and eggs have
been taken; 2,000,000 eggs will be sup
plied from the United States Fish Station
on the Clackamas. At the Ontario hatch
ery station 7,755,000 eggs have been taken,
and the work is still going on.
The receipts of the office of Master Fish
Warden for the month of October were
$614.

K A ISER SEEKS VINDICATION
He Is Anxious for Eiiprlnnil to Close
Deal for Portuguese Territory.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. Emperor Wil
liam's approaching visit being closely
connected in time with the arrival of the
King of Portugal, had revived rliccus-
sions. cables the Tribune's London coc- i
respondent, of an alleged secrefchapter
of Anglo-German diplomacy. No diploma
tist doubts the existence of a secret agree
ment between the two governments re
lating to the partition of Portuguese East
Africa, and many well-informed men sus
pect that Asia Minor also is included in
the scope of this convention. The moot
reasonable theory is that the British Gov
ernment, having secured an option to buy
the Portuguese territory whenever the
Lisbon government Is ready to sell It,
aranged with the Berlin government for
a scheme for dividing it and readjusting
the frontiers.
The German Emperor is alleged to be
anxious to have the sale carried through
and the advantages for Germany made
known for the sake of vindication of his j
own course of action in keeping on good
tern-3 with England. The British Minis
ters, on the other hand, are believed to
be reluctant to reveal a partition scheme
In advance, of actual purchase of the ter
ritory and the King of Portugal Is not
expected to lend encouragement to the
idea that the sale can be hurried on.

I All a living example of the effi
cacy of "Wine of Cardui, and I
owe the magnificent health I en
joy today to this true "woman's rem
edy' '. From the time I was forty
years of age until the "change of
life " came I seemed gradually to lie
growing weaker. I bad Eevere pains
at the periodical times with cramp3
and blinding headaches and sought
the advice of six different doctors,
hut none of these could help me. I
was simply a physical week and pre
pared for an early grave. The misery
and hopelessness which I suffered
none know but those who have had
the same experience.
As time wore on my nervousness
increased,""! had hot and cold flashes
and was very easily irritated, and
when troubled or annoyed would
almost fly into hysterics. At this
time a friend from St. Louis visited
me and I told her my troubles and
how hard I had tried to get well.
"Did you ever try "Wine of Cardui?"
she asked. "When I told her that I
had not she smiled and said, "In
one month from today I will have
you so much changed you will not
know yourself. ' ' And strange as this
seemed to me it proved the truth. I
took the medicine regularly and each
We publish Mrs. Boyd's letter so that every invalid may know that
"Wine of Cardui will bring her sure relief, no matter how discouraged she
may be. Mrs. Boyd wa3 a physical wreck at the "change of life," but
Wine of Cardui brought her back to health. None but a high-grade
scientific medicine could have made such a 'cure. If your case is re
garded as hopeless do not despair. Doctors could not cure Mrs. Boyd.
She had given up hope. Her cure shows that Wine of Cardui will benefit
any case. If you suffer from "female troubles" in any form you should
fro to your druggist today and get the same medicine. Mrs. Boyd owes
ife and health to Wine o Cardui, but thousands of women in every
part of the country owe as much to this great woman's remedy as Mrs.
Boyd. Wine of Cardui costs but $1.00 a bottle. You will feel stronger
and better in a month. Mrs. Boyd i3 a Nashville lady cf high reputation.

ABSORBING PROBLEM
" j Of the Present Day.
The absorbing problem of today Is. ho"
to expend one's income so as to attain th
best results; that is. get full value tot,
one's money.
It may truthfully be said that this has
.been, is, nnd always will be an absorbing
problem to those with limited means; but
the fact remains that, with the price of
living necessities constantly rising one
must -husband one's resources more care
fully than ever before, if he would live
within his income. In snyinr that prices
are rising-, we except one article which
has come to occupy a prominent place in
the family medicine closet, and that is
tho specific for piles or hemorrhoids
known as Pyramid Tile Cure; this remedy
Is still sold by druggists at the old prices
of CO cents and SI 00; and these prices will
remain unchanged. Those to whom this
preparation has brought relief and a cure
after years of suffering do not neo"d to be
told of Its merits; others are advised that
It Is the greatest boon ever discovered to
all those afflicted with any form of piles;
it is in suppository form, is easily appliei,
reaches the seat of complaint, and gives
immediate relief and a lasting cure.
The reader may have tried salves, oint
ments and lotions without benefit, and
feeling that his money has been w.xsted.
resolves to suffer on rather than experi-
of these treatments Is that they do not
reach the seat of the trouble, and hence
do not remove the cause, as does Pyramid
Pile Cure. A little book describing piles,
their cause and cure, is published by the
Pyramid Drug Company. Marshall, Mich.,
and any one may procure a copy by send
ing name and address to above firm. As
i showing the estimation In which this" rem

the reader to know that its sales now ex
