PARK NTS MAY VOTK.
Belem Journal: "Altoruey-Ueueral
idieaian was seen today and be de
clares tbst under an old law that bas
never been repealed, men and women
over 21, who In districts under 1000
aod bave children of school age, msy
vote whether they pay taxes lu tbe
district or not. Stale Superintendent
Irwin backs up this plulon, but
limits It to country districts. He Is
undsr tbe Impression that merely hav
ing cblldrtn of school age does not
apply to districts of 1000 and over, but
tbe voters In surb districts must be tax
payers. General Odell says men or
wsmso of 21 or oer wbo pa, tsxes. or
wbo bave children of tcbeol age, msy
rote. Ue agrees with tbe attorney
general.
"Justice Bean ears tbe decltlou ren
dered Tuesday Is In effect tbat lu dis
trlcts of 10C0 or over any citizen, male
or female, who pays taxes on property
In tbe district may vote."
Tbe Salem Journsl tbluks as a
fundamental proposition men or
women wbo bave children of school
age must he permit t d to vote, whether
they own property or not.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Salem, Or, Feb 14-The supreme
court today rendered an opinion sus
taining tbe right of women to vote at
school electlous. Tbe decision follows:
Lauia Harris, isspondeut, vs Sher
wood Burr et al, appellants, from Lane
county; affirmed. Opinion by Wol-
verton, J.
The appeal In this esse was from a
mfgment lu tbe court below, awarding
damages to plaintiff for having been
deled the ptlvllege of voting st a
school meeting In (be city of Eugeao.
Tbe only question presented li whether
women are entitled to vote at a school
meeting for directors of the district in
bich tbe meeting Is held. Tbe law
under wblch tbe right Is claimed is:
n
In all school dls'rlcts In this
I w,lu population of 1000
and upwsrds any citizen of this
state shall be entitled to vote at
a school meeting who is 21 yeats Q
of age and hssresloVd in th ti..
Met 80 days Immediately pre U
ceding tbe meeting, and has
I UN mMlinis asm S TT
y in tbo (iwtrict n r
hlch he or sbe iavs a tax.'
It waa contended by defendants tbat
tbe law is In violation of section 2.
article 2, of tbe constitution, wblch
provides:
' In all elections not otherwise pro
vided for by this constitution, every
wnue maie citizen of the United States
of the age of 21 and upwards ... who
shall bave resided In tha bUIa !
moatbs Immediately pr,cedi ig such
election . . . shall be entitled to vota."
A history of tbe territorial and state
legislation touching tbe organization
and promotion of the common school
system Is set eut In the opinion, and
section 85 of article of the constitu
tion Is quoted. It says:
Tbe legislative assembly shall pro
vide by law for tbe establishment of a
uniform and general system of public
schools."
Tbcolauseof the constitution, "In
all elect Iods not otherwise provided for
by this constitution, every white male
eitlzen . . . shall be entitled to
vote stall elections authorized by law,"
Is interpreted by the court to mean
tbat eveiy male citizen, etc, shall be
entitled to vote at all elections not
otherwise regulated by the constitu
tion.
It Is further held tbat In tbe history
of the constitutional provisions and tbe
legislation nnder them, tbe qualifica
tions of an electoral school meetings
have never been Identical with those
of au elector under tbe constitution;
thattheschool district Is tbe funda
mental unit of tbe school syttem.and
tbat the power given to tbe legislature
under tbe constitution to provide for
tbe establishment of a uniform and
general syitsm of common tcbools
carries with It a plenary power to es
tablish tbe unit of that system; to do
termlne whst officers sball administer
Its affairs, and who and wbat maoner
of persons sha'l be eligible to office, and
how and wheu tbey sball be chosen.
The slectl e franchise," It Is rsld,
"conferred by section 2, article 2, of
tbe constitution does not nor wm It In
tended to fix and define the qualifies
lion of voters at school meetings, but
was designed only te govern in all
general and special elections, not oth
erwise provided for by tbe constltu
tion, sud applies to the election of all
officers known to the constitution, as
well a may be provided for thereunder,
aside from those provided for under
special power tf the legislature to es
tablish a uniform system ef common

late the valuo thenof and of foreign
coin, ,u i, deelures (hut:
Nottulo shall coin money or iiuiks
anything hut void mil silver colli a
tender in payment of debts; and
Wiii.iidas, Tho constitution does
not confer power upon congress to del
egute its .power to coin money to any
other department of the government,
or to corporations or to private persons;
thercfoio tie il
1:i:soi.vki, l'.y the Spencer Pre
cinct Bimetallic C tl , that we, mem
bers of tho same, declare that we will
unre-ervedly adhere to tho declara
tion rt-nl tho spirit of (he constitution,
and earnestly contend for the mouey
of und coin declared by It to be legal
tenders in payment of debts; aud shall
oppose tho truiisfer of the financial
maiiugemaut of tho I'nited States to
hanks, syndicut' s or oilier Institutions
outside ol cough-. An I lie it further
IU:sel.VKl, That we recognize that
silver, as well a gold, is declured a
constitutional money, at the present
legal ratio, without reservation; there
fore, we si all and do advocate the un
limited coinage of Imth metals into
legal tender coins.
ltK.soi.vu, Tint the proposed
financial system of the present and the
the late former administration-! of the
United Siutes ure not only unjust and
injurious othe people, hut are oen
and llugraiit violation, of tbe letter
and spirit of tho conslitutln', and
should bo opposed ly every citizen
from self-interest ss well as for the
preservation of (lie fundamental prin
ciples of our government.
ltK.Siii.VKD, That the present politi
cal emergency should lift every citizen
and voter, who has the wilfare of the
people and the preservation of our form
of government at heart, above tbe
limits of a narrow partisanship that
all must know, If persisted In, must
lead to and end in tho degradation and
II mil enslavement of the producing
and laboring people of our country.
Besolvkd, JTiiat.we without regard
to party names, former party associa
tion or past policy of any party, sball
voto to restore silver to lis place with
gold, as a constitutional and standard
mouey ol the United States.
Kk.soi.vki, That we will support
the candidates nominated cr to
be nomiuated, by tho Joint ac
tion of the free coinage or bimelallo
elements, In county and state conven
tions, and lu so doing, we hold that
we are not under any obligations to
surrender or abandon any views or
sentiments fonncrly entertained by
any one, or nil ot us, lu regard to par
ty po'lcy or prty Issues.
ltKHOLVkD, That we Jiold what a
statu Is not pel milted to do, no indi
vidual, corporation or set ot Individ
uals in any state can legally do, aud
the proposition to enlarge the power of
tbo banks, coming from tho present
administration, wo declare unconsti
tutional aud unworthy of the respect
ful consideration of a people or a party,
thit expects to perpetuate the liberties
ofthe people.
