COURT DECISION
IKES SUCCESS
OF REFERENDUM
Portland, Or., May 20. Officers
of the Oregon Retail GIgar Men's
association, who wore responsible
for circulating petitions for a ref
erendum on the cigarette tax law
pissed at the last session of the
legislature caid when informed vt
J u lie e McMuhan's decision that it
mei-nt that the cigarette tax ref
erendum would go on the ballot.
Tin cigar dealers obtained 16,
000 signatures to the petitions
which must be filed before May
27.
C. C, Chapman, who attacked
Lhc ballot title, claimed ft was
void because it described the
measure as the "cigarette and to
bacco tax bill'' and contended that
the title should have been "ciga
rette, snuff and smoking tobacco
tax bill." Judge MuMahan grant
ed a temporary restraining order
last Friday, when the suit was
filed.
Stating his reason for attack
ing the referendum, Mr. Chapman
said today:
"I was fighting to uphold the
cigarette, tax because I believed
that every legltmircte effort should
be made to protect the revenue of
the state and I favored the ciga
rette tax because it falls with leso
severe burden oa tho pocket books
of the people than any other meas
ure. Industries, property and
necessities are carrying all the
buidens they should carry and the
tax on the cigarette is neither
onerous, nor does it strike indus
try, properly nor necessities.'
Chapman said that the situation
nov.' is that the measure will go
to election and the fight will have
to be mado there.

DEMOCRACY OF
WEST PRAISED
Westerners aro more enterpris
ing, more progressive and more
democratic than eaotcrueivi. ac
cording to Dr. Carl Gregg Doney,
president of Willamette univer
sity, wiio recently returned to
Salem from a stay In New Eng
land, where he spent most of a
year's leave of absence from the
university here. Dr. Doney spoke
before the Salem Rotary club nt
its! weekly luncheon nt the Ma
rion hotel this noon.
He recommended that Informa
tion be dispensed to the easterner
concerning the west. Iack of
knowledge was given as one great
rctr.un why more people do not
mrve west. "In general only the
enterprising come west," Dr.
Dotiey stated. "The rest of them
stay there, which accounts for the
faet (hat westerners are mure on -tervrising
than easterner." If
somp. system were u:ed to help
them get here, nnd they knew
what the west is like, large num
bers of people would come wert
to make their homes, the sneaker
indicated.
iJemocraey Is more perval'-nt in
the. west than fn the cat due to
tho fact thai there aro no strata
here of sufficient proportions to
permit any one particular cla to
associate together. In New Eng
land there are many millionaire
enough to form a claws by them
rsel ves. Ii i kew ise there a re ma ny
who reprcrieiiet a cert, in cultural
aristocracy. "Hut out here." .taid
Dr. Doney, "they have to hobnob

enough of them to form a clasj of
their own."

feated by such proceedings and
a complaisant judge."
The court a decision in full fol
lows:
'The code provides that appeal -
may ho taken to tins court wnen-
ever any person desires to chal
lenge the sufficiency of the title
framed by the attorney general,
but the code further provides that -such
appeal must be ta!:en within
twenty days after tho tltlo has been
certified to the secretary of state.
:ind further, that the decision of
this court shall bo final.
"It takes timo to get signatures
lo an initiative or referendum pe
tition, and tho legislature evident
ly had this in mind whe-. it pro
vided (hat the nppeal must be til
ed within twenty days, and that
there could be no appeal from the
decision of this cofrt.
'In tills caso the relator failed
to flic tho appeal within the timo
allowed by tho code, nnd by those
proceedings nttempts to secure an
order of injunction, which if al
lowed nt this late date, would ren
der all signatures now obtained by
tho proponents of tho measure
valueless, nnd deprive them of the
opportunity to complete their pe-
tit fon within the time proscribed
by law. If this can be done in this
case It can be done in all cases
and every attempt to Invoke either
the Initiative or referendum could
be defeated by such proceedings
and a complaisant judge.
"To grant tho prayer of tho pe
tition would e.stnbllsh a precedent
which would within itself consti
tute tho gravest nssault ever made
upon the principle of direct legis
lation. It would give Into tho
bands of the judge of this court tho
power to defeat every attempt of
tho people to enact or repeal laws
by tiio Initiative or referendum.
The people never Intended to place
such power into the hnnds of any
official. Kor these reasons the pe
tition Is dismissed."
