APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN Practice From Territorial Times Has Been for House or Senate to Concnr by Motion on Amendments Offered. The Bean bill, providing; for taxing: th. Oregon & California land grant lands, was legally passed by the Stat. Legislature and " Is consequently en titled to go on the ballot for the vote of the people at the corning election. This Is the substance of & decision handed down by Circuit Judge Bing ham yesterday in the proceedings In stituted against TJ. G. Boyer, County Clerk of Marion County, to prevent the bill going on the ballot. The action came up for hearing in the shape of a demurrer to the original complaint, and Judge Bingham sustained the de murrer. Announcement was made late yes terday that the case would be appealed to tne supreme Court. House Accepts Amendment. The bill was originally passed by th. House. It then went to the Senate, where it was passed with an amend ment providing for its referring to th. people. The House then concurred in the amendment by a vote of 28 to 28. The technical legal question involved was whether this concurrence on th. part of the House was tha final pass age of the bill and, as such, required a majority vote of all members, which would be SI votes. The contention of supporters of the bill was that the vote on concurrence was not the final pass age or tne rmi and that consequently merely a majority of a quorum was required. The case came uo for final hearina- before Judge Bingham last Tuesday nignt ana was artrued at that time bv Martin L. Pipes, representing District Attorney Gehlhar. of Marion County, who opposed putting the bill upon the ballot, and Frank S. Grant. ex-City Attorney, and L. E. Bean, of Eugene, framer of the bill, who contended the bill was legally passed and should go on the ballot. Custom la Followed. Judge Bingham held that contem poraneous Interpretation of the consti tutional requirements for concurring in an amendment on the part of th. House or Senate favored a decision that the bill In question had been legally adopted. He also declared that when the question was not free from doubt that in Itself was sufficient reason for sustaining the act. He cited the prac tice of the Legislature from territo rial times to concur in an amendment merely by motion or a majority vote or a quorum. "An examination of the House and Senate Journals shows that the prac tice to concur in amendments by mo tion is quit, 'uniform not only from the adoption of the constitution, but under territorial legislation," he said. "The precise question here involved has not been passed upon by our Su preme Court. In State vs. Rogers It was insisted that every amendment to a bill should be read and the vote taken in the same manner as on the passage of the bill, which, says Mr. Justice Bean, may be well doubted. In other jurisdictions It has been held that the vote on concurring In an amendment is not a vote on the final passage of the bill." Shaves to Cost 2 5 Cents at Bend. BEND. Or.. May 17. (Special.)

BbIhm As Usual" Slogan Adopted by Executive Committee Hand ling Details of Event. The fifth annual Buyers' 'Week date has been set. Tne event marking the fifth anniversary of the merchants' conclave will be held during the week or August 6-11. Elaborate preparations are being planned for the entertainment of the merchants of the Northwest who are expected to be in attendance this year. Approximately S00 buyers were present at last year's Buyers" week, but It I expected that the fifth anniversary will see a bigger registration of buyers in proportion to the increase in pre vlous years.
