under those of their own charter. They
know that the election will come in No
vember, and admit that the general law
Is strong enough to change their pro
cedure to that extent. 'Admitting it,
they plunge themselves In a morass of
doubt and uncertainty. City Attorney
La Roche is trying to untangle the
puzzle. He says there is a case pending
in the supreme court which is expected
to show how far a general state law
can override a city charter adopted un
der the "home rule" amendment to the
constitution. He Is waiting for that de
cision. So are the candidates, the city
auditor and the other necessary and In
cidental city election machinery.

Family Loses All in Fire
Medford,' Jan. 28. Cash and clothing
contributions are given by Medford peo
ple to help the family of H. L. Van De
Mark, consisting of himself, wife and
three young children, who are destitute
as the result of -a fire which completely
destroyed their home In the mountains
near Derby. S. M. Hawk, father of Mrs.
Van De Mark, was bardly burned at the
fire While trying to save a few belongings.
Portland's municipal election,
which is scheduled for the coming
year, is very decidedly up in the air.
No one, unless it be the supreme
court, knows when the candidates
for mayor and the two city commis
sionerships, which are to be filled
at the November election, have to
make their appearance under the
law in order to find places on the
official ballot.
Cities, under the constitution of the
state, are supposed to have the power of
home rule," and to be given the au
thority to regulate their Internal affairs
according to the desires of their voters,
as expressed through their charters.
Portland, acting on this supposed au
thority, has adopted the commission
charter, which does away with the old
primary nominating system so far as
the election of municipal officers is
concerned. Under the provisions of this
charter, the municipal elections fell on
the first Monday In June. It was re
quired that all candidates for city office,
either for the mayoralty or for city
commissioner, should file nominating
petitions signed! by not less than 100
qualified electors, with the city auditor
not more than 40 nor less than 30 days
before the date of the election. Due
certification of these petitions by the
auditor placed the candidate upon the
official ballot, where the one receiving
the highest number of votes was elected
to serve.
LAW 18 AMENDED
Then the legislature of 1915 amended
the election laws by providing that any
candlate for any elective office might
file a "declaration of candidacy" with
the secretary of state, county clerk or
city auditor, as the case might be, and
accompany the declaration with a fee
specified in the statute, this to take the
place of the nominating petition. It
was provided that in all cities of 2000
or more inhabitants these declarations
should be filed not later than the thir
tieth day prior to the nominating elec
tion. Next, the legislature of 1919 switched
the election laws around again, provid
ing specifically that the election of all
elective officials, including those of a
city, and beginning with 1920, should be
held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November.
This statute provides that the city
auditor of cities having more than 2000
Inhabitants shall certify to the county
clerk not less than 40 days before the
general election, a statement showing
the offices to be filled at that election,
upon receipt of which the county clerk
Is required to post notices of the elec
tion, which is to be at the same time
and at the same balloting places as the
general state and county election.
MUCH COXFU8IOK
It is also provided that the city audi
tor, not more than 30 nor less than 28
days before the election, shall arrange
the city ballot, certify It to the county
clerk, file the original in his office and
post a copy in his office and keep it
posted until after the election. There
are various other confusing demands
written into the statute, many out of
harmony with the former procedure
of the Portland election.
So the question has arisen to vex
City Auditor Funk, and City Attorney
LaRoche, not to mention' the potential
the city campaign really swoops down
candidates for city office, as to when
upon everybody. In the first place, is
it possible for candidates for municipal
office to get on the ballot by simple
declaration of candidacy, as authorized
by the law of 1915? If so, must they
file their declarations not less than 30
days before the primary election, or,
since Portland has no primary election,
would the limitation shift over to the
general election and allow them to file
not less than 30 days prior to that elec
tion? Also, If the state law overrides
the Portland charter) what becomes of
the charter provision which says that
candidates may file their petitions of
candidacy not more than 40 nor less
than 20 days before the city election?
CITT OB STATE t
Simmering it all down, the city au
thorities would like to know whether
candidates for municipal office will have
to get into the race prior to the pri
mary election in May, or whether they
may wait until 30 days prior to the
general election in November before put
ting themselves on the ballot. They
would also like to know whether the
