, Issues i at uommg tlection.
With thifual yesterdy of County
Clerk J. H Coffey to transfer to the
-lty authorities th county fegistratlon
list used At the election last Tuesday.
City. Attorney Iga Roche Will, according
, to program, 'ask for writ of mandamus
' tomorrow ompeIlln; the county to turn
over the list to the city, for use at the
election on city; propositions scheduled
for December. si
Dependent upfcn the action of the cir
cult court the question will' be taken
before the supreme court of the state
tor final adjudication. All Is part of
.tin amicable, arrangement between tho
city and -county authorities to insure
the absolute validity of the 1275,000
worth of bonds and the 10-year bonding
proposition involving $45,000,000 to be
voted on .at th city election, r,.
The city authorities desire to remove
'every, shcidow of doubt from the pro
posed band issue. A decree from the
supreme court fixing the registration
at the forthcoming election will fix at
the Urn a the validity of the bonds.
-. , jBoit Win Settle Doubt. '
t ."The wital questions In the matter,"
'said District Attorney W. 11 Evans yes
terday, , first, if the 191) registra
tion used at the election last Tuesday
was good: when made, is it good now?
Second, should the city . use : the regis
tration, lists of 11 J or If UT Third,, is
no registration necessary at all? These
are facta the city and county authorities
want threshed out and settled. It in
believed that the course followed will
expedite matters to a quick solution of
the problem, and guarantee the bonds."
Mr. J-ans stated that as far as he
could ludgo, the question of registration
a applied to the recent interstate bridge
bond election was different from the
on confronting the city. , ;
It 1 possible, too, that the legal ac
tion' t be taken by the city author
ities la order; to determine the valid
ity of, the old and new registration lists
aa applied to the forthcoming munic
ipal election, may result la the elim
ination of registration requirements en
tirely , Or again, it may result In a
constitutional amendment legalising the
: regtattmtlon formality , "
' ; oia raw th Toia. '
Aoaordlng to an opinion handed down
In tfc case of Eugene D. White against
the - commissioners of Multnomah
county In 18J8, "under the constitution
of this state, every law which requires
previous registration as a prerequisite
to th right to vote Is ipso facto void."
Th constitution as amended ' now
naaa): . . , ' , ;
"in an elections not otherwise nro.
vided for by this constitution, every
ciuxen ei ui uniiea state, of the
age of II years and upwards, who shall
have resided in the state daring the
six months Immediately preceding such
election;, and every person of foreign
birth of the age of II years and up
wards, who shall have resided in this
state during the six month lmmedi.
ately preceding such election, conform.
ably to th law of th United States.
on th subject of .naturalisation, shall
oe enutiea to vote at ail elections u
thorlaed by law" i. :
Th question her arise whether th
put has th right to impose registra
tion restriction on th electorate, when
th constitution states specifically that
an persons unaer certain condition as
Aown above shall b entitled to vote. '.
' 1 Totinf X Vstd Might, " '
Th opinion wa further voloed ia' th
raa of Whit, against commissioner
that The right to vot is a vested right
in praesentl to be exercised In futuro
n a fixed day, and law requiring previ
ous registration In order to exercise the
right on the day do not merely prescribe
'v rule of procedure, but impose an ad
ditional substantive requirement - v,
v , If a court decision should sustain this
folding of former year no registration
would be necessary for the city election
scheduled for .December 8. N matter
what the outcome of th suit to b
brought by the city against th county,
a decision of th supreme court pro
viding th ways and means of registra
tion . for the election will assure th
validity of th bond to be voted upon.
In om way th situation 1 analo
gous to that brought up previous to
the eleotlon Just held authorising th
issuance of interstate bridge bond.
Voter of the city are scheduled to vote
t thi election on measures authoris
ing the issuing of 1275,000 bonds and
a bonding act which in 10 year will
involve ome $45,000,000.
t. The city authorities do not wish to
take any chance on invalidating the
bond Issue and will take the means
outlined to secure a court decision aa
to whether th old registration lists,
new registration nets as provided for
LISTS
In Chapter 823 of the IBIS statutes, or
,i tio registration whatsoever, shall apply
; ; at this election. ; ,
. v .' . The election law of 1918 provides
.that It shall be the duty of every eleo
. v tor In the tte to register prior to the
regular general election in 1914." If
thi statute Is held to apply to the city
election, an election could not possibly
r j b held at the present time, as only
.,; about 8000 voters have registered up
to th present dates. The city know-
Ing definitely, however, that this rul
.i in; would apply to the election, could
-call upon the voters of the city to reg
i; V lster before the day of the election.
Another Angle to Tangle.
,-,:; ';.- Another contingency confronts the
i city In that by law the voting pre
;HJ clnot of the county, must be reappor
,', tlbned in December. As provided by
chapter 288 of the 1913 session laws,
"it shall be the duty of the county
court In the several counties of the
state, at the regular December term
jtpreoedlng the general election, to set

: "Said court may set off and estab

' According to . County Clerk J B
Coffey thi reconstruction of election
precincts must be made by the first

In a measure, nullifies the registration

At the present time Multnomah county

PIONEER WHO AIDED
THE WHITMAN COLLEGE
By a compromise between attorney
for Hollon Parker, who ia past 80 years
of age, .and Receiver Hill of the Walla
Walla Flro Insurance company at Walla
Walla, Thursday, the suit against Par
ker's big farming estate is dismissed
and Whitman college immediately re
ceives, an endowment-of $50,000 to be
used for a school of economics.
Hollon Parker, one of the best-known
pioneer of Eastern Washington, has re
sided for the past sight year in Port
land, at 103 Seventeenth street He la
almost bedfast Although in a big
rooming-house he lives entirely alone
in a room segregated from the rest of
the house.
In his room he is surrounded by an
excellent library and a collection of the
dally, file of local papers, and with
these he passes his time.
He came to Portland eight year ago
to visit th Lewi and Clark exposition,
and hi health became ao bad that he
was never able to return ' to hi, home
of nearly (0 year. . - . "
The Walla Walla estate, consisting of
nearly 2000 acre of farm land in one
tract, several smaller aections and con
siderable town property, is valued at
nearly $400,000, and he is said to have
much other property In different places
In the northwest When the proceed
ings were first started against him by
Receiver Hill, it was thought that he
would lose all, but by, the compromise
effected Thursday ' it i now believed

at 116,000 . in Multnomah county and

custom In Initiative elections to com
pare th signatures of the petitioners
on the election petition with their sig
nature on th registration lists, obvi
ously to prevent fraud. If the court
should declare registration requirements
Illegal, then no comparison could be
mad of signatures in petitions and
there would be no restriction on re
peating at elections.
A local option election contested In
1105 bears an analogy. The court said
at that time: "It will be noted that
the act require petitioners for a local
option election to be 'registered voters.'
The phrase 'legal voters' is also used in
that section, but it i evident! yt cm
ployed a a synonym of the term 'reg
istered voters,' and to avoid a" repeti
tion thereof. It will bo re
membered that the county clerk is di
rected to compare with' their handwrit
ing the signatures as they appear on
the registration books and blanks in his
office.
"Consulting these clauses In pari
materia, it is manifest that no elector
or legal voter is a competent petitioner
for a local option election unless his
signature appears on the registration
books of the election then pending, or if
no election be pending, then his signa
ture must appear on the registration
books or blanks of the previous election.
"The privilege of signing a petition to
lntltlate a local option election Is not a
right of franchise in which all electors
enumerated In the organic law (Section
2, Article II, Constitution of Oregon)
can participate."
A like opinion was handed down In the
case of Woodward agalnat Barbur (Ore
gno E8, page 70) by Judr Moore. He
said in part "A provision fh the Initia
tive and referendum ordinance cf the
City of Portland reanlrin th atv

Berlin, Nov. 8, -Perhaps no trial since
the Dreyfus c-uso In Paris has created
such general interest in Germany as
that of the Jew, Mondel Bellis, in Kleff

mind back to the day of the middle
ages, has caused thousands of people of
other faiths, and no faiths at all. In
Germany to evince the keenest interest

Kleff of a trial that seems as much out
of place in the new century as .would
be the "witch trials' at Salem, Mass.,
two centuries ago. -
It is not generally known that the
Beills trial Is the fifth "ritual murder"
case charged against the 'sews in the
last 25 years. Invariably these charges
have been the climax to a wave of anti
Semitism, or were brought to rekindle
the fires of hatred against the Jews
when persecutions were on the wane.
