An eagerness to satiate the or

men, together with a marked so

was displayed by Councilman Hal
Patton, now at Long Beach, Cab,
in the purchase of a present for

morning received by City Record

At the last regular council meet

Patton was going to California, it
would not be unfitting for him to
send to the aldermen back home
a crate of oranges. This morning
three crates were received by Mr.
Race, each of which was jammed
full of the fruit.
"To show my fellow councilman.

measure and then panned the bill.
The bill was never printed and
placed on the desks of the mem
bers of the house until on the day
of its final passage whereas the
rules of the house required that it
should have been there for three
days, according to the protest
which further alleges that all of
the proceedings surrounding the
consideration of the bill in the
house were had without suspend

If Governor Olcott to whom
copies of the protest have been for

expected that the fight will be
carried to the supreme court and
that the protests filed today will be
used as the basis of a case by
which it is hoped to knock out the
law as having been illegally passed.

sage and recall of House, Bill No.
9, providing a tax supervision
board for Multnomah county,
followed by the final acceptance
by -.onfereeB and ratification by
both houses of the original bill
passed by the House was a story
of the confusion of the pendenus
legal machine of the senate by
two young Salem lawyers, Ouy
Smith and Roy Shields, who
formed the amendments Insisted
upon by the local lawyers invalid
ated the measure. Then amend
ments, wherein the senate insisted
upon naming the commission,
mnde It special and local legislation
and therefore unconstitutional.
Messrs Smith and Shields are
employed, under authority of the
hglslature to pass upon the vali
dity of measures after passage to
guide the governor's action. The
bill was validated when the provi
sions wre eliminated and the ap
pointive power rested to the Gov
ernor, who, howev-.-r, refused to
take advantage of the situation
and answered that he would se
