ID COURT
nUSTPASS FIRST
Kot Until Then Will Effort
; Be Made to Invoke the
J. Referendum.-
Not until the supremo court of the
state has passed upon the 'matter will
tha effort to invoke tha referendum on
tha bill which restore io tha sheriff
tha; perquisite of "feeding tha county
' prisoners at tha stated sum of 12 H
cents a meal be abandoned.
County Judge Webster stated ei soon
a ha learned of tha decision of Judge
Galloway at Salem yesterday that an
appeal to the supreme court would be
taken at . once, and a complete test of
the matter be' made. It is' not known
. yet whether any of tha other cases will
be appealed, and if they are not there
will be no referendum on the university
- appropriation set. the compulsory pass
' act, nor the armory appropriation act
It is estimated that If the sheriff
of this county Is restored the per
quisite of feeding the county prisoners
-at 12 H cants a meal It will enable him
to earn a profit from the county of
nearly. 16,000 a year in addition to hla
salary, which la $4,500. Tha county
- prisoner in the jail at the courthouse
are now fed by Contractor Ebellng for
11H cents a meal, while those working
on tha rockplle at Kelly's butts are fed
py tne county ion t to a centa a meat, ,
Petitions for invoking the referendum
, On the act which allows tha sheriff to
collect from the county 12 ty' cents for
each meal given a county prisoner ware
- signed by voters in counties all over the
atate. Judge Galloway held that the
petitions -are invalid because they -did
not contain a warning clause as pre-
scrioea ty an act or tne last legislature.
County Judge Webster believes that
any-act cf the legislature which annnls
' referendum petitions defeats the con
t atitutional amendment by which the peo-
Iila reserved to themselves the right to
nvoke the referendum or any act of
the legislature, and will apeal to the
' Supreme court 'to sustain hla contention.
