Hufdrri-Electric Initiative
DEClSlDrj EXPECTED
ENDS
Legal Number of Votes to
Place Measure on Ballot
Is Issue
The state supreme court yes
terday heard arguments of at
torneys In mandamus proceedings
filed by Josephine Othus and oth
ers to, compel the secretary of
state to place on the ballot at the
general, election in November the
proposed hydro-electric initiative
measure sponsored by the House
wiYes'Councfl of Portland.
The secretary of state refused
: to accept the petitions on the
ground that they contained the
signatures of only 13,750 legal
voters, or less than eight per cent
of the votes cast for the office of
Justice of the supreme court at
the last general election.
The secretary of state based his
decision en a rulingz of the attor
ney general who held that the
signatures of 14,5 50 legal voters
of the state were necessary in or
der to place the initiative measure
- on thcAballot, The attorney gen
eral arrived at this decision by
adding the votes cast for the
three candidates for justice ot the
supreme 'court at the last general
election and dividing the total by
two. ' ..' i . . .
Attorneys for . Miss - Othus
argued that under the constitution
the signatures of eight per cent of
the voters who cast their ballots
for one justice of the supreme
court ait the last general election
was sufficient. If this conclusion
was accepted by the court the at
torneys Said the 13,750 signatures
affixed to the hydro-electric ini
tiative petitions would exceed the
number required to place the mea
sure oil the ballot.
Oswald West and W. .3. U'Ren.
Portland attorneys, who appeared
: as defenders of the initiative and
; referendum law, submitted a plan
I to the court whereby .lt would re
. quire the signatures of approxi
mately 18,000 legal voters to get
the hydro-electric measure before
the voters. "
It was indicated that the court
would hand down a decision in
the case prior to the August va
. cation
The court yesterday also heard
arguments in the suit, filed by
Frank. Keeler tor restrain Stanley
Myers, district attorney of Mult
nomah; county, and, Sheriff Hurl
burt from using certain bonds
and records taken from his offices,,
before t tbe grand . Jury. It "was
said that the - records and bonds
were taken from-Keeler's office
after he; was arrested on a charge
of failing to obtain a license to
operate a brokerage business.
Arguments, also were heard by
the court in the mandamus pro
' cecdings filed recently to compel
the eownty clerk of Jackson coun
ty t o " accept petitions signed by
15 per cent of the voters there
looking- to. the removal of the
courthouse from Jacksonville to
Med ford. The clerk refused to
accept the petitions under an old
statute-requiring the signatures
of 40 per cent of the voters in
referring county measures.

Una, but H. D. Hallenbeck, an

and her former building superin

"not far away" and could be pro
duced in time for resumption of
the grand jury inquiry next
Tuesday.
Superior Judge Arthur Keetch
reiterated his declaration that the
grand jury could make no report
on its investigation unless it indi
cated the alleged kidnapers of the
evangelist. This was the declara-.
tion that drew the recent charge
from Rev. R. P. Shuler that the
grand jury was being "muzzled."
Dennis Collins, garage attend

today when he announced from
his home town that contrary to a
statement by Deputy District At

woman who traveled with Ormis

Cadman Sees Radio as
I Great Righteous Force
NEW YORK. (Associated
Press) Radio can be made a
great force for rigbteousnejss in
matters involving national norals
and behavior if . it is guided by
"sound thinking, accurate infor
mation, reasonable temper; and
magnamily f feelinog," j believes
Dr. S. ParkCs Cadman, president
of the Federal Council of Church
es, j- i
'When employed as it should
be, with respect for other people's
views, radio also can be made a
powerful agency for the reconcil
iation of differences," he said.
"Religious people are1 tjsually
right in what they affirm and
wrong in what they deny. They
are strongest in their agreements
and weakest in their disagree
ments. To emphasize the former
and decrease the latter for the
reconciliation of right minded
men and womeii should always be
the aim of the.radio preacher. He
need not sacrifice his principles
in doing so."
