SALEM. Or, Jan. II. (Speciul.)
Governor W)thycombe waa advised to
day by Attorney-General Brown that
h may. direct the District Attorney of
Multnomah County to Institute appro
Driala Droceedlnae In the name of tbe
state against the Stewards' Club of
Portland upon leave granted by the
Circuit Court of Multnomah County or
on of Ita Judges lor tne purpose ci
voiding and annulling the existence
of such corporation. ' I
The executive inquired of the Attor
ney-General recently what ateps would
be necessary for the purpose of void
ing and annulling th charters or tne
Culinary Club and tbe Portland Stew
ards' Aasociatlon. which had been In
corporated under the laws of Oregon.
An examination of the records showed
th Attorney-Aeneral that th Culinary
Club had filed a certificate of dissolu
tion July 7. 1917, being dissolved by
tta own act. The charter of the Stew
ards' Association a till stands.
The opinion does riot atate th spe
cific nature of the charge against the
Stewards' Association, but apparently
from reading th opinion illegal gaming
la alleged. In advising the Governor
to act the AttorneyrGeneral says In
part:
Whenever a . corporation of this
state other than a public one violators
th criminal lawa of tho state of Ore
gon any District Attorney cf this state
may in his discretion upon leave by
the court, or a Judge tbereof. where
tha action la triable, institute an ac
tion at law for tbe purpose of voiding
tha charter of such offending corpora
tion. Such action may be instituted
with) or. without direction from th
Governor. However. It has often been
argued In this state that such direc
tion Js necessary, ana tne oniy aavan
Lags of an order from Your Excellency
la that It removes from the case any
question aa to th authority of the
District Attorney. This refers, of
course, to an action to annul the ex
Istence of the corporation by reason of
the provisions of section S6o.
The Attorney-General also calls at
tenllon to the provision of the const!
tutlon which provides that the execu
ttve ahall see that the lawa are faith
fully executed, and continues:
Reliable information having been
placed before you as th Chief Execu
tive of tbe state. It la proper to direct
that proceeding be Instituted against
any, person, natural or artificial, for
the purpose of vindicating the law. A
corporation la a creature of the atate
and ahould obey the laws of its creator.
"Corporations have been frequently
Indicted for maintaining a public nui
sance; for permitting gambling upon
their grounds; keeping a disorderly
bouse: for selling Intoxicating liquors
violating the Federal atamp act: crim
inal libel: violating the eight-hour
law; peddling without a license, and for
many other crimea. A corporation and
a natural person may be Indicted to
gether."
After citing the purposes for which
the Portland Stewards' Association was
formed according to-lta articlea of In
corporation, tbe Attorney-General says
"It Is not necessary to say that unlaw
ful gaming Is a clear violation of the
purpose of th Incorporation."
Midwinter quiet on the part of the
infantry contlnuea to prevail on the

reported heavy between Beaumont and

WAR SAVIXGS STAMP SALE TO BE
BIG SUCCESS. SAYS DIRECTOR.
Portlander Holds Several Conferences
IVIta Secretary McAdo. Head
o Thrift CampalsTn.
C. S. Jackson, state director of Ore
gon's war savings committee, returned
to Portland yesterday .after a 30-day
visit at Washington and in other East
ern cities, enthusiastic In the belief
that the-blg stamp sale campaign will
be pushed through to a successful con
clusion. While in Washington Mr. Jackson
held several conferences with Secretary
of tha Treasury William McAdoo, head
of the thrift campaign, and & personal
friend.
"One thine; I wish to emphasize,"
said Mr. Jackson yesterday, "and it is
along the line I talked over with Sec
retary McAdoo. It is that the school
houses of the country, as community
centers, should be made the base fnom
which the war savings drive is car
ried on. This campaign is an appeal
to the people who do the world's work,
and it offers the one opportunity for
children and people of smaller means
to contribute their vital bit to me
war's Drosecutlon.
"My survey of conditions in the East
convinces me that In the war savings
drive the appeal of the country Is to
the people who work. . This appeal
calls to every man or woman who
strives for a living, and particularly it
touches. the great wage-earning class
of our clttsens. The thousand-dollar
limitation placed upon - the value of
stamps any one person can own r :ans
in the ultimate that these stamps have
got to be bought by the rank and file
of our people. This campaign is not
one in which the rich can do more
than their little bit. and it presents a
case in which the little fellow, so
called, can do a very big bit."
