GUS KUHN, Pres. - Morrison At Fourth PINION !S DETAILED INVALIDATING JITNKY EMERGEN CY CLAUSE EXPLAINED. Decision Based Principally on Rbfht of People to Invoke Referen dum at Any Time. Amplifying his reasons for deciding that a City Council cannot attach an emergency clause to an ordinance and thereby bead, off a referendum. Circuit Judge Bagley goes Into further details of constitutional provisions in an opin ion which has reached County Clerk Qoffey's office. His decision is based principally on Section 1 of "Article IV. of "the State Constitution. This section was added to the referendum provision to confer the same rights on the people with, re gard to municipal legislation. "In construing a constitutional pro vision." says Judge Baglcy's opinion, "for the purpose of aiding the court resort may be had to the conditions existing at the lime of the adoption of the provision construed, the sentiments of the people, historical facts relating and leading up to its adoption, the history of the times and the mischief to be remedied. "It will be remembered that Section 1, Article IV of the Constitution was adopted by the people to curb abuses of the Legislative Assembly. ..The In itiative oecause the people could not obtain the passage of just and neces sary measures, and the referendum so that the people might reject at the polls vicious and harmful legislation." In effect Judge Baglcy's decision Is that, although the Legislature may de clare an emergency, the Constitution does not confer the right upon the City Council to do ro. but says that the powr of referendum shall be re served to the people on all municipal legislation of every character. Tho decision holds up Portland's second jitney-regulating ordinance un til the Supreme Court has passed on the question. The case is now on appeal. that purpose had been declared invalid.
