State Supreme

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.

D'Arcy Opposes
League In Talk
To Fair Voters
At a meeting of the Marion
County Women's Republican club
held yesterday afternoon in the city
hall Judge Peter D'Arcy spoke of
the history of the two political par
ties and of the league of natiqns
with detailed discussion of artlole
10 and the effect which he thought
America's entrance into it would
have upon the nation.
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 said
he did not think that Washington,
Jefferson Adams and others of
those . men who founded the gov
ernment would favor a plan "here
by America would be compelled to
fight the wars of other nations
whose lands were gained by auto
cracy. Judge D'Arcy told the meet
ing that he thought that this for
eign council would control the des
tinies of America Instead of the
senate, which he said had been the
bulwark of the liberties and tradi
tions of the American people since
the government had been formed.
He spoke In favor of protection
of American industry, and com
pared the standard of American la
bor to that of other nations. He
predicted much rivalry with Eng
land over the supremacy of com
merce and said that he thought in
five years America would feel no
beter toward England than she
fele at present toward Germany.
The Judge spoke of the campaign
expenditures and said that each
party must spend amounts to reach
people in every state, but he said
he thought some were forgetting
about their own expenditures win.,
thinking of the others.

Smaller High
Schools May
Have To Close
Many of the smaller high schools:
in Oregon face the prospect of sw
ing compelled to close their doosa
through Inability to employ teacnv
ers, according to 3. A. Churchill,
state superintendent of public In
struction. Jacksonville in Jackson county
has appealed for permission to sus
pend for the year with a proposal
to send their high school students
to Medford by wagon, paying these
tuition under the provisions of tMr
high school tuition fund act. Mat
rill, in Josephine county, also faces
the same prospect, Churchill states.
Other towns and communities ars
faced with the sa mat problem.
Should it become necessary to
suspend thece schools, Churusuu
states, they would not necessarily
lose their rating as standardise
high schools, as permission to clean
could be granted in an tniergen9.
Some of the districts propose Mi
transport their high school student
to adjoining districts by wagon
each da. This plan may be adapt
ed in some of the districts where
the roads permit of thesuccesaf ut
operation of wagons during; tho
winter.
Rural grade schools are just be
ginning to open and no report
have vet been made as to the teach
er shortage, although the situation
is expected to show a serious con
dition in the more remote rural OU
tricts.
