Shall Begin on Water System.

tic meeting to foster favorable feeling
for the Malheur irrigation project was

dell had charge of the meeting and Mr.
Griffith, secretary of the Boise-Payette
Wster-L'sers' Association, and several
others spoke, showing the. advantages
of Government irrigation and drainage.
The object of the meeting was to
get the co-operation of dry-land own
ers and men who own water rights In
asking the Government to go to work
at once. Resolutions to this effect
were drawn up and signed by all pres
ent. The"re were probably ISO dry
land owners and water-users in at
tendance. The Government engineer showed
that the object of Irrigation Is not
alone to put water on the land, but
to drain the water off after It has ful
filled Its purpose, and to reclaim the
alkali land. The Government repre
sentatives are ready to go to work as
soon as the people show that they
want the Malheur project bad enough
to support it In the right way. The
Nyssa meeting emphasizes that the
people are beginning to realize the
importance of Government irrigation.
After the meeting the people of
Nyssa gave a banquet In honor of those
present from outside points.;

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
Judge Gantenbeln Reversed In Ve
hicle License Case City Attor
ney Kavanaugh Makes Com
ment on Court's Ruling.
SALEM. Or.. Deo. 1. (Special.) In de
ciding the case of George Long vs. City
of Portland, today, the Oregon Supreme
Court held that ordinances enacted by
the City Council do not take effect until
80 days after enactment, this time being
specified as the period for filing refer
endum petitions. The case grew out of
an attempt to enforce the vehicle license
ordlna-nce pending a submission of the
ordinance to the people under the ref
erendum. Long brought this suit to en
Join enforcement of the ordinance. The
lower court. C. W. Gantenbeln. Judge,
held that the ordinance was in force and
dismissed the suit. Iing appealed and
the decision Is reversed in an opinion by
Justice Eakin.
Section 49, of the city charter, as en
acted in 1903, provides that ordinances
shall go Into effect as soon as signed by
the Mayor.
Section 2 of article It of the constitu
tion, as amended in 196. says that the
Legislature shall not amend a city char
ter. Under these two provisions the city
authorities contended that the city ordi
nance went into effect as soon as signed
by the Mayor. Long asserted, and hie
view is approved by the Supreme Court,
that under section 1 A of the constitu
tion, reserving initiative and referendum
powers to the people of a city and also
under section 10 of the act of 1307 putting
that amendment into effect, section 49
of the city charter Is superseded in this
particular and that city ordinances do
not go into effect until 30 days have ex
pired, unless necessary for the peace,
health or safety of the city.
This is the only point decided by the
opinion.
City Attorney Kavanaugh said last
night:
"I have not received the text of the
decision and the press report is so
brief It Is difficult to determine its
full Import. That it may raise ques
tions concerning the validity of a mul
titude of proceedings is certain. In
the orderly course of municipal busi
ness :t Is essential that many ordi
nances be acted upon before the expira
tion of 30 days after final passage. The
charter requires subsequent proceed
ings ti be taken before the expiration
of such time, and If It Is so taken the
entire proceedings will fail.
"The legislative act of 1907, provides for
the suspension of every ordinance for 30
days after final passage, to admit of the
i i . n MfnronHnm netltlon. The de
cision holds this act to be valid. The only
way an ordinance can De passea, uwi.
will admit of valid subsequent proceed
ings, is under an emergency clause, and
