Long Fight For Admission
Waged in Territory,
- Then in Congress
I Coo tinned from pale tl
resolution was adopted to take a
vote, la case congress did make
territorial efflcers elective. It
should be aeted that the terri
torial capital bad been moved to
Salem by thef '56-51 legislature
and that the '51-2 session was
held in basement rooms, ot the
Oregon Institute, and that the
'52-3 session was also held there,
and that the old school was char
tered In its own bnllding and be-,
came' Willamette university.
: The proposal tor : statehood
again came up in the '52-3 legis
lative, and an amended, bin

father ot Sam L. Simpson, the
poet), passed the boose by a
good majority bat was defeated

legislature of 1856-7,
meeting in the Holman building,
still standing, on the comer
north ot and opposite the present
Statesman building, quickly pass
ed an, act to again submit the
question of statehood, and a con
stitutional convention. The vote
was taken at the June, 1857,
election, and carried, with 7617
for and only 1697 against. In the
nine years of territorial existence
th question had been voted upon
in the. legislature nine times, in
one form or other, and by popu
lar ballot four times.
Anti-Slave Decision
Is Made by Voters.
The constitutional convention
met at the courthouse (old court
bouse) in Salem Aug. 17, 1857.
and concluded Its deliberations
Sept. 18. There" was a special
election, Nov. 9, with a favorable
rote of 715, negative, 3215. At
,the same time slavery was voted
down by a majority ot 5082, there
being 2645 for and 7727 against
permitting slaves to be held in
Oregon. And there was a vote of ;
1081 to allow free negroes to live
In Oregon and 640 against. Ter
ritorial Governor Geo. L. Curry,
Dec 9, 1857, sent the informa
tion of the' resnlt to congress.
Oregon bad adopted a state con
stitution; that meant a stat-3.
But. she knocked in vain and
lor a, long time at the doors ot
congress. The issues that were
beavy-with eoming war clouds
grew warm and warmer. There
.la a book by Judge Charles U.
j Carey on the "History of the Con
1 stitution of Oregon;" a large and
' good one. And still others might
be written, if all the 60 members
of the constitutional convention
. could come baek from their graves
and -speak as they did in the old
wooden court house. Great men
were in that body.
In June, 1858, members of two
legislatures were elected In Ore
gon : territorial with a council,
state with a senate. The state
legislature met July 5, and elect
ed Joe Lane and Delaxoh Smith
C. S. senators. Lane drew the
long term. July - 8th, John
Whiteaker, who had been elected
governor of the state that was not
yet admitted, was sworn in, by
Judge R. P. Boise. He was gov
ernor of a state that did not ex
ist. A very few laws were passed
by that legislature, none of them
to take effect until Oregon be
came a state. So things drifted
along, while the admission bill
was up in congress, in an epochal
struggle. The state legislature
held no September session, as
provided by the constitution.
- But the other one, the terri
torial legislature, held its regu
. lar . session, beginning December
6. 1858, and ending in January,
1639. However, not many laws
. were passed, those that were en
acted, being generally on mining
and other local subjects.
It began to be evident that,
while Lane wanted to be U. S.
senator, he was not anxious to
push the admission of the state.
He was in a "hot box," between
Oregon's interests and the de
mands of his slave holding friends
of the south. It was a mix-up
of interest that destroyed him, po
litically, and sent him to a priv
ate life, almost that of a hermit,
for a dozen years.
- The admission fight of Oregon
In congress was a stormy one;
the story too long for reciting
here. The concluding words of
Bancroft concerning her admis
sion are: "She had at all events
come into the union respectably,
and had no enemies north o r
south."
And. again, this Is her 75th
birthday as a state.
Sworn in as Oregon's first state
governor July 8, 1858, John
Whiteaker began serving his
term Kerch 3, 1859.

Support of City
Bonds in Water
Deal Now Asked
City officials last night were
awaiting an answer to- a recent
telegram to PWA headquarters
at Washington, D. C, before de
ciding whether or not they could
proceed with selling enough city
water bonds to purchase the Oregon-Washington
Water Service
company's system here. PWA is
being asked if it will accept as se
curity for the loan It has allotted
Salem the water bonds of long
maturity. It is hoped the shorter
maturing bonds can be offered
for sale because they will bring
a higher price.
The bonds mature serially
starting fire years from date of
issue and running out In 40 years.
City officials believe they can get
at least 88 to 90 per cent par val
ue on sale of the shorter term
bonds.

Home Rule Killed For Good
When Prohi Law Passed
High Court Rules
. (CatlBB trwm pr 1)
peal ot a repealing statute re-
Tires the old law.
"It is dangerous to subject tne
constitution to such niceties of the
law," the court held in refuting
plaintiff - BpellantB contention
that home-rule had been revived.
"Since the clear Intention ot the
people in the adoption ot the pro
hibition amendments nas seen as
certained, the court should func
tion by giving effect to such In
tention and not invoke a some
what shadowy rule of construc
tion frowned on by co-ordinate
branch of the government." In
the latter phrase the court re
ferred to a law passed in the 1933
second special session of the legis
lature. In which the lawmaking
body expressly stated that repeal
of one constitutional provision,
which had repealed a former pro
vision, did not revive the original
constitutional enactment.
The court, later In the decision,
adopted for the sake ot argument
the premise that home-rule by
state constitution was In effect.
Even so. Justice Belt contended.
the Knox law would be constitu
tional as an exercise ot the police
nower ot the state. H e cited
Straw vs. Harris in which the
court held that the state could
never so surrender Its powers to
cities that It would lose its sover
eignty." In the same decision the
court held: "Municipalities are
but mere dependents or agencies
of the state, charged with per
formance of duties for and on its
beb.alf.but subject always to its
controL".
State Pre-eminent
Ruling Declare.
"The heart and soul of the
home rule amendment, pertain
ing to the delegation of rights to
cities," said Justice Belt, "is ex
pressed in the provision that snch
rights 'are subject to the constitu
tion and criminal laws o f t h e
state'."
The court ruled that the title
ot the Knox law was adequate to
meet constitutional requirements
and also that the measure was not
primarily one to raise revenue
and thus not subject to the em
ergency clause.
The decision did not go Into
the question of whether or not a
city may concurrently license
wine and beer selling stores along
with the state although the decis
ion points out that "The Oregon
liquor control act purports to rest
excluslve-authority upon the com
mission to regulate and to control
the sale of alcoholic beverages
throughput the state."
In presenting the appeal Elton
Watkins of Portland appeared for
the City of Klamath Falls with
A. L. Learitt, city attorney there,
on the brief. George Neuner, at
torney for the state liquor con
trol commission, and Jay Bower-
man, appeared for the respondent-
defendant.

Army and naval preparedness
do not cause war the prepara
tions are rather the symptoms
of other conditions, predominate
ly economic, which bring inter
national conflict. Such was the
view expressed Tuesday to the
Kiwanis club by Miles H. McKey,
assistant attorney-general, speak
ing during the national defense
fortnight now on throughout the
nation. McKey is a lieutenant
colonel In the Reserve Officers'
corps.
McKey said the United States
was exceeded by 16 other nations
in the sire of its standing army.
He said the nation's army did
not need to be large but It did
need to provide the nucleus of
trained men for officers in case
of a war. McKey said army lead
ers had male advance plans for
the "enlistment" of various in
dustrial plants in time of war to
use these, with trained officers,
as the basis for the country's
preparedness.
The regular army of the Unit
ed States has only 125,000 men
although army officials wish this
number Increased to 180,000, Mc
Key explained. The national
guard has 185,000 men and the
reserve officers corps 114,000
men.
McKey said the navy, nnder
recent congressional enactments,
was to be brought to the treaty
strength agreed upon at Wash
ington in 1922. He said Japan
had already served notice that
in 1936 she wished ft more favor-

Wilma Stortz Succeeds Irma
Oehler as President;
Gifts Presented
With an impressive ceremonial
yesterday afternoon in the school
auditorium the Salem high school
Girls' league installed officers for
the second semester and wel
comed incoming students. Ac
companied by Marion Chase's soft
ly blended violin music, last
term's officers gave their places
to- the newly elected directors of
the organization while Wilma
Councilman read the simple rit
ual. Retiring officials and Miss Ma
bel Robertson, advisor,- received
corsages as the gifts of the league.
Tracing briefly the broadening
status of women in the world,
Miss Robertson drew for Illustra
tion upon two recently witnessed
plays, "The Barretts of Wimpole
Street" and "The Doll's House" to
point the conclusion that th e
group of more than 700 girls
gathered for the meeting might
contain an Elisabeth Barrett
Browning or an Eva La Gallienne.
One of the main purposes ot the
league founded at Salem high
school six years ago, is the de
velopment of the personality of
Its members as Individuals In ad
dition to recognition ot the finer
qualities of womanhood.
That the league has just com
pleted one ot its most successful
terms of work both with its mem
bers and in respect to its service
to the community is the opinion
of Dean Robertson. The retiring
president, Irma Oehler, Is a young
er sister of Gertrude Oehler, first
president of the Girls' league
here.
Miss Oehler's gavel was yester
day handed to Wilma Stortz. Ruth
Yocom was Installed as vice-presi
dent by Catherine Headrick, retir
ing from that office. Marjorie
Saixord, incoming secretary, re
ceived the records from Cornelia
Hulst, retiring. To Maxlne Hill,
newly elected treasurer, were giv
en the funds and financial respon
sibilities of the league by Marjor
ie Johnston, last semester's treas
urer.
The musical program which fol
lowed Included a trumpet solo by
Margaret Ann Kella accompanied
by Lois Burton and a vocal solo
by Cora Edgell accompanied by
