This was the conclusion of Secretary of State Hal Hoss, yes terday after his department had looked up the matter. The matter seems to have been decided by the late Federal Judge Bean in the case of Bradley vs. Union Bridge & Construction company, in 1911. In that opinion Judge Bean wrote: "The canvass of the vote and the proclamation of the governor is only official and authoritative evidence of the result of the elec tion, and is not made necessary to the enactment of the law itself. The law is adopted or rejected at the time the vote is cast, and net when the official canvas is made." Applicable Chiefly To Dry Law Repeal The only measure which carried at the polls and whose time of going into effect is particularly important is the prohibition re peal act. Tuesday's balloting there fore wiped the law off the statute books, so state courts will now be unable to try any person under this law or to sentence any man for manufacture, sale, transporta tion or possession of intoxicants. The federal Volstead act how ever continues in force and state officers presumably would turn of fenders over to federal courts fer prosecution. Also, since the state constitution still contains a pre vision against manufacture, sale and transportation, which carries the words "self-executing" it may be possible to proceed by injunc tion or abatement against those violating the provisions of the constitution. City ordinances are also still In effect; and most of these, provide penalties similar to those of the old Anderson act. Some general laws were not re pealed, which have sections con cerning pronibitlon enforcement. (Turn to page 2, col. 6) SCOTT WILLING TO PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 9.

He inti mated that possible 'hanges in the automobile license law would nec essitate such a curtailment. The commission, he said, is committed to a policy of no more primary highways, and is staunch in its position that it will author ize no debt Increase. Scott said the commission also believes more revenue must ac crue to the state from big tracks. He said that 1,000 tons of freight daily is passing over the Columbia river highway, and 1.300 tons over the Pacific highway, through Oregon City.
