the people of Portland at the June elec

Grave doubt a to (be legality of the
council' action in submitting the bond

and these doubt have received added

Seneca Smith. In his estimation-there

Judge Smith, In a written opinion sub
mitted to the mayor yesterday after
noon, holds that the action of the peo
ple in voting these bond Issues was
wholly invalidated by the irregularity
f the council's orelimlnary proceedings
and that the councilman became sub-
jcri to proceedings for removal from
office by their failure to observe the
provisions or tie city charter.
It Is expected that Mayor Lane will
isu a xormai proclamation announc
ing the result of the norm In r vnl ,.
thorlxlng the proposed bond issues, but
this will probably be merely the pre
liminary to steps carrying the whole
question into court, a it Is evident
.that the bonds will be unsalable un
til all doubt is removed aa to their le
gality. , . .
Two Serious Objections.
' In the opinion submitted to the mayor
by Judge Smith two serious objections
to the bonds sr raised. The first is
that the council failed to comply with
the provisions of article E of the char
ter prescribing the only means by which
public utilities msy be acquired by the
city and the second is that the coun
cil has no power to initiate amendments
to the charter, this power resting sole
ly with the legal voters of the city.
upon the first point raised by Judge
Smith he says in part; .
'The only authority contained In the
city charter for the issuing of bonds
for the acquisition of Such publlo Utili
ties as those for which these co-callfed
amendments provide. Is contained "in
-article of the charter. -h ... i-
"This article of the charter prescribes
that the proceeding to acquire any pub
lic utility must commence with a. ntl.
tion of 15 per cent of the voters to the
council, setting forth that the peti
tioners favor making the acquisition
and praying that the matter be sub
mitted to the people to be voted upon.
It is further provided that if all the
voters at the election at which the mat
ter is submitted determine that the pro
posed acquisition is desirable., then if
ine umity to De. acquired would cost
more than could be paid for from the
e
e rally applied on westbound rates. It
men are not working. '
"We kept our men in line," said he.
-an tnrougn tne dirncuity. i
"Detectives of the mine owner r-lrcu
la ted among the union men and coun
seled violence, but every union officer
stood firm against it and used all In
fluence to prevent any disturbances.
We kept peace as much as possible,
although our men were ordered off the
streets and from the vicinity of the
union halla.
"The defense promises' a big surprise
soon, it is claimed . to nave oisinter-
ls time the coast should receive some sted' witnesses;, witnesses who will tes-
beneflt from the great volume of traffic
it produces.
- "While not desiring any rat wars, the
railroads have pushed the coast cities
to the limit in diverting traffic and cre-
tiry regarding the Plnkertons' opera
tion in the rank of the union.
SCoOee Contradicts Orchard. '
Prior to Easterly's telling his story
a tins -exclusive -sones . for rival, cities the proceedings were Interrupted to per-
through arbitrary power. Portland mil in recall or vr. l. l Mcuee by tne

vided that bonds cannot ..be authorised
except upon a two thirds vote cast in
favor of such Issue and such special
election." '
- . Council X Powerless., .
- Upon the second point Judge Smith
says, in part: - -
"In proposing and submitting these
so-called amendments to ; the charter
the council not only violated every pro
vision of the charter applying, to the
requisition of such utilities as these
amendments : purport to provide bonds
for, but in my judgment the council
bad no authority or power to propose

time, but his conclusions are reinforced
by numerous references to the charter

that his ultimate action will be taken

ters on their respective roads. She
will be satisfied with nothing less." '
Bates Are Tax.
: "Transportation rates are a tax which
must be distributed equitably," was the
contents of Brook Adams' opening argu
ments as counsel for Spokane in the
rate case yesterday srternoon. "Rail
way manarers. therefore, are trustees
of property In which people have in
alienable ownership, and must account
to tne oeonia ror ail sucn taxes col
lected. Bates must never be higher than
will maintain the transportation sys
tem." ,,'
Adams then averred that the issue
at bar was whether rates to Spokane
from the eaat are reasonable. , lie at
tacked fundamentally James J. Hill's
plan of distribution of surpluses on the
Great Northern, showing that they
should have been handled so as to give
the people a share In the surplus in the
form of lower rates.
Adams alleged the railway is not
entitled to collect a transportation tax
from people on a irancnise wnicn ine
people gave freely. -. ;-,. -lie
classed the Great Northern. the
steel trust and Standard Oil as the three
great Simon-pure trusts and monopolies
or this country .. ;
C. W. Bunn of St. Paul, representing
the Northern Pacific, spoke one hour
yesterday afternoon, attacking Adams'
theory that transportation rates con
stitute a tax, claiming the theory in
volves logically that a railroad must
be compensated by the public whenever
ratea and trarric cause losses 10 loaas.
He claimed water competition does con
stitute a large element of traffic from
east to west and must govern rates.
An Important concession made by Bunn
was that If any rates should be reduced
those from the Pacific coast to the in
terior points should be lowered. . This
