Member Audit Bureau of Circulation. FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR No. ffl Three Marion County Cases Also Decided By Supreme Court In Find ings Reported Today. An act of tho 1925 legislature requiring Hint tho quantity of hops picked by pickers in Oregon be estimated by weight and not by boxes is constitutional, ac cording to an opinion of the su premo court handed down today in tho case of C. A. McLaughlin, Polk county grower, against Joseph N. Hclgerson, district at torney for Polk county.' The opin ion afirms Judge W. M. Ramsey or tho lower court for Polk coun1 ty. Justice Hand wroto tho opin ion. McLaughlin brought suit to restrain the district attorney and sheriff from enforcing tho penal provisions of the act on grounds that tho act was unconstitutional and that its enforcement would injuriously affect his business. Suit Is Dismissed The appeal was from a decree sustaining a demurrer and Uis missing the suit. Tho demurrer was sustained on ground that the complaint did not etate facts- suf ficient to constitute a causo of suit and that the court was with out jurisdiction of the - subject matter of the suit, both of which are sustained by the supreme court opinion.' It is stated that though tho complaint recited every conceivable injury that might result from enforcement of the act, hut still fails to show suf ficient cause. Tins, says the op inion, notwithstanding the fact that the complaint was very skill fully drawn. The opinion denies tho plain tiff's contention that the statute deprives him of his liberty to contract. Permit Refusal Upheld Judge L. H. McMahan of the lower court for Marion county is affirmed In the case of the Na tional Thrift asosclatiou, appel lant, against V. E. Crews, state corporation commissioner, a mandamus proceeding to compel the corporation commissioner to issue a dealer's permit authoriz ing the association to sell certain securities. i The opinion was wrltton by Justice Belt. The corporation pro posed a scheme of selling "thrift tickets." "This scheme," says tho opin ion of Justico Belt after describ ing the proposed scheme, re minds us of Get-Klch-Quick Wal- llngford.
