OPTION MEASURE IS ATTAOKEDt Tho local option lnw is de clared to ho unconstitutional, invalid and void for many rea sons which are set forth in a complaint which has been filed in the State Circuit Court by Henry Weinhnrcl, the Portland brewer. The following reasons are nrn-firl nrrninsh thn Constitution- ..ism. n.i n,nv nf Mm inpnl option law: Because it was Hot submitted to the Governor for his ap proval, was not signed by him, nor returned with his objections. nor iiled by him in the office of the secretary of state; that the law was not legally submitted to the electors, because the pe tition for its submission was not signed by 8 per cent of the voters; that it- confers an un lawful delegation of legislative authority to the County Court; that the title does not give notice that it is ttulawful to sell liquors; that the initiative and referendum act is contrary to the Constitution "of the Uuited States, wherein a republican form of government is guaran teed; that it linlawfnlly pro hibits the sale of liquor on the prescription of a physician not engaged in practice; that it is contrary to section 21 of the Constitution; that it linlawfully attempts to delegate the prohi bition question to precincts, and that it provides for illegal search warrants and rules of evidence.
