In Clataon countv. bids fair ' to win considerable renown as the result of a peculiar litigation that haa just arisen. West Seaside is tne summer home or many Drominent Portland families. The very existence of the municloalltv is now threatened. and its mayor and councllmen and other orrtciaismay have to step down and out. The charter of the city of West Sea side was granted by the legislature In 1906. This charter declares that all electors (therein mast have a certain property qualification as a condition precedent to the right to vote. But more than that uoon Its face the char ter apparently does not demand that the voters shall be residents of that city and no other, and It is out of this tnat tne main source of trouble has arisen. As-a result of these charter nrovlslons the town Of West Seaside has for its mayor Dan J. Moore of Portland, well known as a voter, resident and property holder of the metropolis. With one or two exceptions-the councllmen are also all Portland men, and thus the peculiar condition arises of a little city being governed oy men wno reside in another municipality, it is even alleged that the mayor and councllmen hold their council meetings in Portland ' and there pass resolutions and adopt ordinances ior tne city Dy tne sea. ine cnarter does use the word "inhabitants," and in the final adjudication of the matter much may depend upon tne interpret tlon given this word by the courts. several cases have been brought re cently. Yesterday it was stated that more litigation is probabla. Several of the leaning members of the Clatsop county oar. including u. c. Fulton and John H. and A. M. Smith, have brought suits in the interests of their clients. The case Instituted by Attorney Fulton may be taken as a type of the whole litigation. This action was brought at the instance of tne Grimes Grove Land company. This company owns large tracts oi lana in seaside. An ordinance. said to have been passed by Mayor Moore and his councllmen In the city of - Portland, required the building of certain siaewaiKS in west seaside ana provided for the usual delinauencv tten altles. It seems that the Grimes Grove Land company refused to pay Its assess ments for the sidewalks constructed and later many of its lots were sold by the city marshal and bought by the tuy. Grimes Company's Aotloa. The action brought by the Grimes company Is to clear its title to these liens and to quiet other titles being an action in equity. The complaint Is vol uminous. It alleges that the provision of the charter which ostensibly nermlts nonresidents to vote and to hold office is void, it also alleges that the pro vision of the charter which demands a property qualification as a condition precedent to the right to vote is also unconstitutional and void; and lawyers interested in tne matter point out that the constitution of the state plainly states that no such qualification may ever oe demanded ana rurtnermore, that the supreme court has Interpreted this con stitutional provision in a manner entire ly In consonance with its plain reading. It is said there are about 20 voters in the little town who permanently re side there. There are said to be about three times as many men from Portland, wno noia property mere ana -vote there, and this big majority of the "outland ish" naturally permits them to run the town as they see fit. In the original charter granted by tne legislature, uan j. moo re was named as mayor, and C. T Henry, A. G. Long, Kdgar B. piper, p. L. Willis. M. F. Henderson, E. C. Johnson, Albert E. Butterfleld, Paul Wesslnger, John F. IiOHTln. Ottn J. Kramer, nil nt Pnrlland and E. M. Grimes of Seaside were named as councllmen. - Then in July of last year there was 'an 'alleged and pretended election." the complaint states, "at which a large num ber of the votes cost were by nonresi dents, by individuals residing In Multno mah county and outside of the state of Oregon." ' , At this election Mr. Moore was main elected mayor and he still holds that of fice. The present councllmen are near ly all Portland men: A. E. Butterfleld, C. II. HUL A. C. Johnson, J. F. Logan. A. C. Long. Dan J. Malarkev. cv H Pre. cedeuer, Edgar B. Piper, R. W. Wilson, and W. P. Grimes and Albert Johnson. The comDlaint avers that the "entlr machinery of the election" was In the hands of the Portland men. The Question seems to he a hnnl- nnn and seems 10 strike at one of the fund amentals of American democracy as or dinarily conceived by the average cltl ten. Can a man reside In one town and still vote In another town, or Vote in both Portland and West Seaside? While there are elemets that lend a touch of opera bouf f e. with tho wealthy port landers holding all the offices and hold ing the common council meetings up there, nevertheless the. West Seaside: men see only the serious side since Marshal Lindsay began selling their is that of providing a municipal water as the Tucker spring. The movement ystem for the cltv. The tlan Is to bring in the water from' what Is known to do this is being taken up by the residents 'of the hill section of the city, who made a fight in the recent election for a mayor and councllmen whom they believe will be favorable to the pro ject. To secure funds for this purpose it will be necessary to submit the prop osition to a vote of the taxpayers. READS PAPER 111! ATOriEMEHT Rev.

Sii Washi.'istO'S St.. bet Ith anil Fcrif. Rev. N. B. Mlnaker was unable to prepare his paper for the Baptist Min isterial association this morning be cause of the Inconveniences arising from the recent burning of his church. The series of papers on Socialism was consequently Interrupted and Kev. John Bentzien read a paper on "The Reason for the Atonement." He treated the subject from a technical, theological standpoint and brought a number of scriptural quotations to substantiate his arguments. The purpose of his paper was to explain the reason why the atonement for the world's sins was made through the death and suffering of Christ, when God could as well have exercised it by tne mere omnipotence of his will. Divine justice was the keynote of the paper, and was the ex planation of the atonement, because the thought that sin must be punished is paramount. The paper said that human nature demands above all things a penalty for wrongdoing; that when a crime is com mitted desire for punishing the criminal is stronger tnan pity for the wronged one. This feeling In man is a reflec tion of divine Justice, and this divine justice demanded that Christ should surrer in expiation of sin. The awak ened conscience Is a copy of divine Jus. tice. It is justice punishing the wrong aoer ana it is wnat prompts so many criminals to confess their crime even when unsuspected. The paper met with general approval, and in the discussion that followed there was no dissension. W v - n ' i ) v - - '- '13 x I 3 S , ",aft J . V , V ' " ?
