TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. JANUARY 27, 1918. CITY COUNCIL HOT CERTAIN OF TERMS Combining of Elections Brings " Question of When Law - Was Adopted. KELLAHER MAY HAVE TO GO 14 We Move to Our New Location at I . - , . , . , . . , y i f,ik'l'J:- i" Cor. 4th and Washington 0 ) T ( A ft VJ? XQ Some Time in February V 1 f 0 J 1 X MJSfK If People Vote "Adopted" Law, Commissioner 3Iut Seek Ke-elec-tlon, but not If Governor Signature I "Adoption." Adoption at the lt election f niuurt combining city and state elec tions baa thrown Into chaos the oues tlon of terms of present members of the City Council. Commissioners Kel laher and Blgelow. whose terms are the next to expire, are not certain yet whether they mast seek re-election xt November or whether their terms wtn .xt.nd for two rears from that cats, or a year and a half longer than the usual terra of such office. Other members of the Council also are Involved. It begin to look as though com missioner Ksllaher wl'.l have to gain re-election next November, while Mr. ZUlegow may be able to escape until two years from that time. Whether It works out this way depends on the way the law la Interpreted. Under the terms or the measure adopted by the voters the date of city elections Is chanced to the date of state elections. The act provides that officials holding office at the time of the "adoption" of the measure shall hold office until successors are elected and qualify. Much depends on the word "adoption.- The law was passed In June and at a time when Kellaher was not a member of the Council. Whether cassase by the people con stituted "adoption or whether the measure was not adopted until It was aimed by the Governor Is the question. Governor tvithycombe signed the measure July - If the law was not "adooted until It was signed by the (Governor, all the present Council mem bers were tn office. This would In atcate that Commissioners Btgrlow and Kellaher Instead of leaving office July 1. 11. would hold over until at least November. 1:0. and possibly until Jan- vary 1. l:i. There would be no elec tion In the Interim and the law pro vides that officials In office at the time of the laws adoption should hold Until successors are elected. Zai It the law waa "adopted when It was voted on by the people. Kellaher. t least. Is out In the cold. He will have to gain re-election next Novem ber for the term commencing the fol lowing July. Commissioner Bilegow might have to be re-elected at that time also, but probably would escape for the loo -.r terra because he was In fTlce when the law waa "adopted." whether adoption waa on election day r on the day when the Governor signed the law. The same situation Is true as rerards Mayor Baker and Commissioners Mann and Barbur. except that their regular terms have three and a ilf years yet to run In any event. The tangle may result tn their terms each being tretched out a year and a half or In their being required to gain re-election eight months In advance of the expira tion, of their terms.

Saturday. February 1. to the Portland chapter of the American Red Cross. This benefit does not conflict with the recent ruling of the Portland chap ter that the proceeds of benefit per formances would not be accepted, as perr&i&iloa lor tils especial benefit u riven by the Portland chapter some weeks before the ruling; ag-alnst benefits was made. It Is the opinion of F. L. Nag-el, president of the orrertiia tlon. that the Auditorium will be crowded to the roof. "The expenses will be at a minimum." he said.

There will be several hundred par ticipants tn the entertainment and ar rangements have been made for elec trical effects. The large stage at the auditorium will give greater oppor tunity to Professor Gens than he has had In previous years. Indicted Woman Pleads Guilty.
