ballot, voters in the county gave
their approval to seven. All 79
precincts if the county were com
piled in the totals and all were

The laws which received a ma
jority vote at the election Tues
day are now in effect; and it la
not necessary to wait for the for
mal canvass of the votes and proc
lamation of the result by the gov
ernor. 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.

SCOTT WILLING TO
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 9.
(AP) State highway commission
Chairman Leslie M. Scott, speak
ing before the East Side Commer
cial club here today, said that the
highway commission is willing, ft
the people desire, to shut down
on all new construction. 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.
Declaring that the commissioa
plans to build permanently, Scott
said that Washington, starting
later than Oregon In highway con
struction on a large scale, baa
saved money by not being forced
to rebuild to suit heavier traffic
Scott urged that counties Quit
force account work and let by eon
tract, tor economy.
