State Supreme In Government Court Declares In Oregon the state is still the paramount unit of government es tablished by the people, according to an opinion written by Justice Burnett and handed down by the supreme court this morning deny ing a petition for rehearing in the case of the city of Hillsboro vs. the public service commission. The opinion upholds the right of the commission to regulate water rates paid by the city of Hillsboro to the North Coast Power company for the use of fire hydrants. The activities of a city or town and the legal voters therein in forming or amending a municipal charter are circumscribed by the constitution and criminal laws of the state of Oregon, the opinion holds. The law making power vested in the legislative assembly still exists with all its original force so far as concerns municipal corporations, Burnett declares.

Mr. D'Arcy Is very much against America entering Into this league and after reading article 10 dis cussed freely his Idea of it.

He spoke In favor of protection of American industry, and com pared the standard of American la bor to that of other nations.
