FEBRUARY 29. 1920 I 1 I STATE LAWS CONSULTED Course Prescribed in Cities and Towns Indicated Local Auton omy Declared Not Affected. '4 2 K The Homefurnishing Store Wants Everyone to Know: rORTLAMl F.l.KrTlOX IS 1 Under an opinion made public yesterday by Attorney-General Brown at Salem, it is made clear that Portland's municipal election will take place next November and not at the pri mary nominating election in May. Portland's charter provides for non-political election only, without any primary, and there fore does not come under the list of cities in the state af fected by legislative amend ments to election laws. City Attorney LaRoche last night expressed himself as greatly pleased with the opin ion and said that lawyers gen erally aprce with it. Next November Portland will elect a mayor and two com missioners to serve lour years each. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 28. (Special.) If by the charter of any city or town of more than 2000 population there is to be a nominating election it must be held on the date of the pri mary election for state and county officers and the same officials shall conduct the election, according to an opinion given by Attorney-General Brown today interpreting the consti tutional abendment adopted in 1917 and state statutes approved by the legislature in 1919, with regard to the manner of holding elections in this state. "If the nominations are by polit ical parties," reads the opinion, "the clerk shows the officials to be elected in the respective cities and towns upon the notices of elections posted in the respective precincts in such cities or towns, and the names upon the bal . lots. "If the nominations are to be by election in such cities and towns, but not by political parties, the cities must pas legislation providing for the printing and posting of notice mud the furnishing of the ballots to the election officials. When the nom inations are by political parties in such towns and cities, the ballots used -for state and county officers shall contain such names and the ballots hall be deposited in the county bal lot boxes. When the nominations are not by political parties, but are by election at such primary, the ballots fehall be counted separately and de posited in a separate box. "in any case, the returns for cities and towns are placed in separate en velopes and returned to the county clerk, except where the nominations for city officers are by political parties, when the returns will be in the envelope containing the returns of such political party. Law Held Loosely Drawn. 'While section 3354 of Lord's Ore gon laws as amended by chapter 283 is rather loosely drawn, yet when read in connection with the other statutes and the original sections of the direct primary law. It must be construed to mean that all petitions by the members of po- - litical parties for placing the names of candidates for nomination for such municipal offices on the primary dominating ballots of the several po litical partie shall be filed with the city clerk. ao4itor or recorder, as the case may be, of the several towns and cities. Such nominations shall be certified by the officers of such cities .and towns to the county clerk of the county wherein such town or city is Situated in the manner provided by law. The cWrk thevi shall include in the primary nominating notice and on the ballot at such . election such names. Candidates for nomination for city and town offices by political parties shall qualify and file for such nomination In suub manner as the charter or ordinance thereof may pro- I vide, or in the event there are no charter or ordinance provisions to that effect, then as Ihe laws of Ore- I gon may provide." I "The above transposition of the language of this section indicates the interpretation that should be given to make it harmonize with the re maining sections of the statute. "It is further apparent from an ex amination of these sections and of sections 3307 and 3392 of Lord's Ore gon Laws, as amended by said chapter 23, that at all general elections the notices prepared by the clerk and the ballots printed by the clerk shall con tain the namoa of city officers and measures to be voted upon, whether nominated at a non-partisan or nn ' political primary provided by the city, whether nominated by petition, or "whether nominated at the direct pri mary election and the appropriate city official shall certify to the clerk as provided by law for the election no tices the offices to be filled, the bal lots and names of the candidates." Loral Autonomy I Barret-ted. In the concluding paragraph of his opinion Mr. Brown says that it can not be presumed that the legislature attempted to deprive cities and towns of their local autouomy in reference to their officers and elections by chapter 283, if the legislature should be deemed to have such power, but only to make, operative the constitu tional provisions in reference to the times of elections and the election of ficials. I'nder the opinion by Mr. Brown elections in the city of Portland are not affected by the constitutional . amendment or subsequent legislative enactments for the reason that can didates there file by petition. The opiion was asked by Sam A. Koxer, asMMant secretary of state. Harding Has Kentucky Aid. LOUISVILLE. Ky..
