Attorney General Holds That Councils
Cannot Ask Vote Vntil Next No
vember Misinterpretation of Early
Deci-sloiis Cause Tangle,
Salem. Ore., Jan. 17. "My conclu
sion in respect to the Home Rule
Amendment and the time of voting
under it Is finally expressed In my
opinion sent to T. J. Anderson, Re
corder of Harrisburg. in which I say
that the city council is not author
lied to call a special election on that
question until the first Tuesday after
the first Monday In November, 1911,
but may hold such election in connec
tion with any regular city election
before that time,' said Attorney Gen
eral Crawford. His attention had
been called to the fact that some cit
ies and towns in the state had evi
dently either misinterpreted prior
opinions on this question or had found
inconsistencies in them.
"If there have been special elec
tions held in cities under the amend
ment, I would express it as my opin
ion that they are not valid and will
not stand, but what the courts would
do in reference to these elections, of
course, I am unable to say. I have
advised in some instances that It
would be more expeditious and satis
factory to the cities concerned If
they would take their case ints the
courts immediately and determine
once for all the course to pursue.
Opinion Not Clear.
"Perhaps' in some of the early op
inions given from the attorney gen'
erala office shortly after election, 1
was not as explicit on the point in
volved as I might have been. In these
opinions there being so many of them.
I devoted my attention exclusively to
answering the specific qoestions
asked, and It Is barely possible that
the intent of these opinions was not
fully clear to those who were reclpl
ents of them.
"My contention Is simply this: That
the last clause of the Home Rule
Amendment requires that the amend
ment Is. subject to the local option
law and as a result it would be plain
ly the natural Inference that elections
held under the amendment would te
held at the same time as the elections
provided for In that law.
"When I say that cities may call a
"special election on the question of
"wet or "dry" In conjunction with a
regular city election, possibly I am
stretching a point to some extent, but
it seems plausible that it was intended
under the amendment. Inasmuch as
the amendment refers to control of
. the sale of liquor In cities and towns
that regular elections would include
regular citv elections. In the local
option law provision is made for vot
ing at regular elections, which, of
course, would be regular state elec
tions, I think that the point Is plain
that the elections under the Home
Rule Amendment are subject to this
local option law.
Liquor Control is Aim.
"The interpretation that the Home
Rule Amendment may extend to regu
lar city elections is not positively
certain in my mind, but I am of the
opinion that the courts would be In
clined to sustain a liberal view of the
subject and not construe its provi
sions strictly on this point, because
it is apparent that the whole amend
ment is intended to deal with the con
trol of liquor in cities and towns.
"As I understand it. Grants Pass
has the question up as to whether a
city election there, called especially
to pass on the sale of liquor, is valid.
and I have advised them to take'the
case into the courts as being probably
the only satisfactory manner of set
tling the dispute. As there are no
precedents covering the amendment.
opinions expressed as to its provisions
are given to a certain extent in the
dark as to what construction the
courts might lav down In this con
nection."
In some of the opinions it Is evi
dent how a misinterpretation may
have been placet! on the language
userl in the nrlnions sent from the
office. Frr instance, an opinion writ
ten for the county clerk of Hood R:v
er rounty says that a special election
mav be frailer "at any time." The
Attorney-O'-m-ral explains this by say
Ini. It whs meant at any time subject
to the local option law and that he
sent a second supplementary opinion
to Hood River explaining the position
he had taken.
Only Snvlal Point Covered.
In reference to this opinion he says
he m'-rely answered the questions
askeij him specifically without going
Into a general dissertation on the
accounts for much of success in the
merchandising of coal. The way we
screen and store this much needed

amendment, owing to the fact that
there were so many requests for sim
ilar opinions the first few days after
election and it would be practically
a physical Impossibility to have re
sponded at great length to every one.
As far as cities contemplating hold
ing special city elections called for
the special purpose of voting on the
"wet" and "dry" question, the Attor-,
ney General would advise that such
elections be held at the time of the
regular election to make certain that
the result will hold as valid and
good. To cities that have held such
elections, he advises recourse to the
courts for definite settlement, but at
the same time gives It as his opinion
that such elections are invalid.

FORMER REAR ADMIRAL

San Francisco, Jan. 17. Without a
plan for the future. Rear Admiral

He said he would leave for New York
soon after first visiting rnenas at
Mare Island. He retired yesterday
under a cloud.
Only newspapermen calld on him.
He said: "After I reach Kew York
have not planned what I will do.
First of" all, I will take a good long
rest. Further than that I do not care
to make a statement."
Old Soldier Tortured.
"For years I suffered unspeakable
torture from indigestion, constipation
and liver trouble." wrote A. K. Smith

WILL START WEST
UMATILLA PROJECT
That construction on the West
Umatilla project will begin this year
is the assurance given by Director
Newell today, says a special to the
Journal from Washington. Secretary
Ballinger had asked him to report on
the feasibility of the west unit. New
ell already had data that enabled him
to report, which he did at once, and
Ballinger Instructed Newell to pro
ceed with the enterprise. Newell im
mediately gave the orders and prep
aratlons are already under way.
An erroneous impression has been
created that the final surveys on that
unit have been made. There has
been an adequate reconnoissance,
which justified the reclamation
service in recommending the west unit
as feasible and desirable, but the fi
nal working surveys had not been
made up, nor had rights of way been
secured.
Such work will now be pushed with
vigor and as rapidly as possible, so
that Newell is certain actual con
struction will be under way in the
coming summer.
The securing of rights of way will
determine largely the speed the ser
vice can attain In getting gangs of
workmen upon the ground, but the
hearty cooperation of persons Inter
ested in the northern part of Umatilla
county, which Is assured, will hasten
the work.
At first $290,000 will be available to
inaugurate these works of preparation,
to complete surveys and to secure
rights of way. ;
The money for the west ualt will
come from the regular reclamation
fund, which bears no interest, making
it more desirable than money from
the certificates of Indebtedness fund,
which bears 3 per cent. The total
amount to be expended will be from
$1,125,000 to $1,250,009, and perhaps
more.
The situation Is apparently about as
good as could be expeced, and It Is
difficult to see how the project can be
hindered by any objections that might
be raised. The reclamation service,
instead of being prejudiced against
the Umatilla project, is partial to It,
and regards it as the best one yet un
dertaken by the government.
