' In th opinion of the Portland Mu ntclpafsssoclatlon. th- proposed amend ment to article 11, lection 1, of .the State constitution, which is to be sub mitted to popular vote at the June election, should not be adopted. 8trong , reason for this view are advanced. In ' a statement given, to the press by the sssoclatlfln. , ' The real sponsors for, thla proposed amti(iment nave never been maae Known to the public. While the petition for Us submission was being circulated for Signatures, great care was taken- to kep all knowledge of It from the news papers and to conceal the names' of mose interested in its success. .The section of the constitution which It is proposed to amend now reads as follows: "Corporations may be formed under general laws, but snail not be created by special laws, except for municipal purposes. AU laws pussod pursuant to this section may be altered, amended or repealed, but not so as to Impair or de stroy any vested corporate rights." Amendment as proposed. The proposed amendment reads as follows: , "Section 2 of article 11 of the consti tution of the state of Oreaon shall be and the same Is hereby amended to read as follows: "Section 2. Corporations may be formed under general laws, but shall riot be created by the legislative es- sembly by special laws. The, legislative assemoiy snuu not enact, amend or re- real any charter or act of incorporation or any municipality, city or town. The legal voters of every city and town are hereby granted power to enact and mend their municipal charter, and the xoiusive power to license, regulate, control and tax or to suppress or pro hibit theatres, racetracks, poolrooms, bowling alleys, billiard halls and the ale of llquers. subject to the provisions of the local option law of the state of Oregon, within the corporate limits of any municipality, Is vested In such mu nicipality." Following is the protest of the Mu nicipal association against the adoption of the amendment: "The foregoing proposed amend ment is entirely superfluous, Inasmuch as all cities and towns la the-state of Oregon do now enjoy the fullest pos sible home rule, having absolute self government the right to make and amend their own charters and enact their own laws subject only to the constitution and the general criminal laws of the state. This power was conferred by an amendment to the con- . x . , stltutlon adopted In the election of 1808 and made effective by an act of legislature of 1Q7 "for carrying Into effect amendment to section 1, article XI of the constitution arantlng to cities and towns the Hjht to enact or amend their charters.': . Bnspend Criminal taws. "While the ostensible purpose of the rropOsd amendment is to obtain prac Ical home rule for all cities snd towns in Oregon, it is very evident that the real purpose is to ' suspend me opera tion of the criminal laws of the. state as to certain practices, within the bounds of munlciDalitiea at their pleas ure. If it does give to municipalities any power of home rule which they do not now possess, n is some power con trary to the constitution of the state. or In violation of the general criminal laws. " 'The affect of this amendment, If adopted, would be to divest snerllTs and district attorneys of the power to suppress pool rooms and Sunday saloons, and give munlclnal authori ties power to run a town as wide open as they desire. The constitution rjow provides that city charters must be 'subject to the constitution Snd crim inal laws of the state." The amend ment proposed leaves out this import ant clause.' (Morning Oregonlan, Jan uary 28. 1908.) "It is claimed by the advocates of the proposed amendment that It Is a step in the direction of 'majority, rule.' This assertion is fallacious. Law em anates from the supreme power in the state, that Is, the people of the whole state, and to permit the people of a municipality to override laws enacted by the people or the whole state, or to ret at naught the moral sentiment of the people of the state would be the worst form of minority rule. Undermine State's Supremacy. 'The proposed amendment would undermine the supremacy of the-state. It would create an authority within municipal bounds independent of, and doubtless in many cases opposed to the authority of the state. It U essentially vicious and anarchistic in Its tendency. "There can be no doubt that the pe tition for the enactment of tha nrn- posed amendment had its origin among those who are Intent upon exploiting the vices of city life for their own profit, and who care little or nothing " iiiieKmy ii u.e state ana tne moral welfare of its cltlxens. "The people of Oregon cannot tol erate such tampering with her fnmtl. tution, and the vote against this meas ure should be so overwhelming as to discourage any future attempts in the same direction."

LASHES BRIDE WITH WHIPPING MACHINE Cruel Husband Applies Knout Every Three Days Chief Complaint About the Cooking. (United Press Leased Wire.) Washington, Feb. 25. "In the first - stage 'of Its life the Republican party's argument was prayer; in the second, praise snd prejudice; In the third, pros perity. The third is now at an end. In the fourth stage what will the party be? We await, gentlemen, theblrth of a new thought." With these words Congressman Gar rets or Tennessee today began on the floortof the house a tirade against the dominant political party. He accused It of hypocrisy, particularly in the tar! IT Issue. "The period of prayer," he declared, "covered the party's affiliations with the anti-slavery sentiment of the coun try. It could be clearly demonstrated that the real Influences In the party did riot care a rap for the slavery question, but its leaders saw an opportunity and seised It. "The praise and prejudice period ex tended over two decades, when the bloody shirt was the banner and appeal to heroic memories and intense preju dices of the civil war. ' "The third period that of prosperity has been working with ull force since 18D3. It was in this period that the Kepubllcans covenanted with the people to preserve prosperity through a pro tective tariff.

It, has already been stated that Pope Pius X has confided to the followers of St. Benedict the enormous task of revising the official Latin Bible used by the Roman Cath olic church, popularly known as the Vulgafe. The directing spirit of the undertaking Is Abbot Gasquet, and the headquarters of the work will be the College of Sant' Anselmo, on the Aven tlne. where the Abbot presides, and not at the mother house of the Benedic tines, on Monte Casslno. The Abbot is 62 years of age, and freely admits that in his lifetime he can do little more than organize the work and apportion It out to the vari ous Benedictine colleges all over the world. Still, he hopes before he dies to see the revisions of the Psalms or the Pentateuch, which will be the first work, undertaken, completed. Labor of love. "If the unpaid labor of love that we shall provide,'' said the Abbot the other day, "had to be paid for, even at the most moderate rate, the expense of the work would be almost prohibitive, but such work as ours cannot be had for nothing. Traveling and other expenses will have to be provided, and when the holy father asked me what I- thought the cost of the work would be, I said that even on our economical lines the annual expense could not be less than 15,000, and might easily be more. 1 have already hsM-many fetters of sym pathy and offers of expert help, and some money .from both America and Kngland, . which hfcs been very welcome and encouraging, and I hope is only an earnest of more to come. "My life will be entirely given up to the task, and I shall spend many months of the year In Rome, although 1 hope eventually to have three other chief cen ters In Paris, London an1 Madrid. Hcp; In this college the pope has kindly al lowed me to nave any manuscripts, how ever valuable, that I need from the Vati can library, and the assistance that it is to work in one's own study with manu scripts and papers spread around one on all sides is quite Incalculable. But whit I should like people . to .-realize Is tho Immensity of the-task that we have un dertaken. No results will be obtained In a hurry. 'c Monster Task.

It was one of three copies made, tn the great monastery Of Jarrow. from which St. Bede cameand the Abbot Geolfrld left the monasters with one of the copies, which was to be presented to the Pope. - ' -- ' "The abbot died on the journey afB the great codex was entirely lost sight" of. St. Bede had quoted certain tines from the dedication of this cony, and De Rossi, the great Roman Christian archaeologist, discovered that part of the dedication of the Codex Amiatinus had been erased, and under the writing that was superposed he was able to de cipher words that Indisputably proved k to be the long-lost copy from Jarrow. xnis coaex is'ronaDiy me oesi ann nearest to St. Jerome of all that have (Special Dlapateh to Tbe Journal.)
