Attorney General Crawford
Renders Important Opinion
On Home Rule Law.
SALEM, Oro., Nov. 21. Sovcrnl
opinions dealing with tho effect of
tho Homo Rulo amendment on the
locnl option law wero handed down
by Attorney Gcnoral Crawford.
In response to Inquiries from L.
W. Bnker, Mayor of. Grass Vnlley,
tho Attorney General holds thnt a
county which Is 'dry' nnd votes 'wot'

Although thoro is no specific state
ment ns to tlmo in this respect, tho
.local option law plarcs January 1
bb tho tlmo when n county shnll be
como 'dry' In caso It votes In favor
of prohibition. It is inforrcd from
thla thnt tho law would also work
invorsoly.
Tho Attornoy-Gonoral holds thnt
tho Homo Rulo nmondmeut will
probably tako effect January 1 In
tho caso of n county nnd city voting
'wet.' Tho council enn thon pro
ceed without nnothor vote When n
precinct votos 'dry' nnd tho county
votes 'wot,' tho precinct will remnln
'dry,' snyB tho Attornoy Gonernl.

tho Attornoy-acnoral sayn n city
nmy call an oloctlon specific or reg
ular, In April to voto on tho question
of 'wot or 'dry' undor tho Homo
Rulo amendmont. Ho holds further
that n precinct voto cannot doprlvo
n city of a constitutional right
grnntod nt tho aamo oloctlon. No
nnrt of a precinct outsldo of tho
city limits can bo allowed to voto on
tho question of prohibition so thnt
It shnll nffoct tho peoplo within tho
limits of n corporato city or town,
and It Bhnll bo tho duty of tho County
Court to ro-distrlct tho precincts so
thnt thoy shall includo no part of
tho Incorporated city in (voting on
prohibition.
Ronlvlng to a question put by J. D.
Walch, of Joseph, tho Attornoy-
Gonernl says that as soon as ino
Governor issuos n proclamation de
claring tho Homo Rulo amendmont n
law, Joseph will havo tho oxcluslvo
rlcht to say whethor liquor shall bo

caso of Joseph tho county votod 'dry'
nnd Joseph voted 'wot.'
Tho Attornoy-Gonoral says it shall
bo tho duty of tho County Court to
issue an order placing prohibition In
effect In tho county, hut tho Homo
Rulo amendmont will oxcopt Joseph
from tho order of tho court declaring
tho county 'dry and tho city mny
nrovldo by ordlnanco what shall bo
required of any porson conducting a
