RECALL DECISIONS.
The following regarding the re
call petitions which were presented
to County Clerk Howell and the
decisions of the Attorney General,
may be of interest to our readers
as there seems to be some criticisms
regarding our official's acts:
Clerk's Office,
Lincoln County.
Toledu, Or., Dec. 5, 1912.
Hon. A. M. Crawford,
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Petitions are being
circulated in this county for the
recall of the County Judge and one
Commissioner and since it is the
opinion of some of the legal lights
of the state that the necessary Leg.
islative acts have not been passed
to make it effective, as County
Clerk and officer to who these peti
tions will be presented for filing; I
i would like to know what my duties
I are. Very respectfully,
j R. H. Howell, County Clerk,
t In reply Attorney General Craw-
ford instructed Mr. Howell, giving
a lengthy argument, concluding
with the following:
Holding the opinion as I do, that
tha recall is not self executing,
while I hesitate to advise you as to
your duty, the District Attorney
being your legal advisor, I can say
that my advice would be that your
duty is to refuse to file the petitions,
and if thd petitioners believe they
have a legal right to have them
filed, they can bring legal proceed
ings in Court to compel the filing
of the same. Yours very truly,
A. M. Crawford,
... Attorney General.
' On April 2'9th Mr. Howell re
ceived the following, taken from
the decision relative to the recall of
Judge Cameron of Multnomah
county:
Salem, Or., April 29, 1912. !
Mr. R. H. Howell,
County Cleik.
Dear Sir: December 8lh, 1911,
we sent you an opinion .relative to
the recall. At that time I was net
aware of the decision of the Circuit
Court in Multnomah county aid
since that date have been informed
that the Circuit Court of Multnom
ah almost universally held that the
recall was not operative. There
fore it reverses the opinion of this
office and in accordance with he
decree of the Circuit Court in the
matter, we are obliged to change
our position, and we herewith hand
you copy of opinion to the Secre
tary of State in the matter of the
recall of District Attorney Cameron
of Multnomah county, which please
file and place with the former opin
ion I still have doubts in regard to
the Circuit Court being correct, but
of course must conform to the
decision of the Courts.
Very respectfully yours,
A. M. Crawford,
Attorney Geneial.
