Geer introduced the following
resolutions, whkh were laid on the
table :
W iiekeas, The legislative assem
bly of ttie state of Oregon did, at
its regular session in January,
1885, enact a law providing for the
registration of voters preceding
each election ; and
Whereas, His excellency, the
governor, did in his inaugural ad
dress, delivered in January, 1887,
declare that said registry law was
in lull force and effect, notwith
standing the decision of the
supreme court to the contrary ; and
Whereas, His excellency, the
governor, did among other things,
declare mat there cannot be founo
in our constitution auy warrant by
which the supreme court can sus
pend by an order the operation of
a law which that constitution espe
cially declares shall never besus
pended but by the legislative
assembly of Oregon, duly enacted,
is a law of the state until it is re
pealed by the legislature, and that
its operatic n can be no more sus
pended by the decision of the court
than it can be by an order of the
executive; and that there can be
no mistake alxut this lelation, ami
that the courts have no appellate
legislative power under ihe consu
union to revise the judgment ot
the legislature in this regard, and 1

Resolved, By the house of rep
resentatives that any communica

his excellency explanatory of his
apparent neglect of duty in the
undoubted non-enforcement of the
registry act of 1885, which he
plainly declares to be a "law of the
land," anil therefore be it
Resolved, Further, that since it
is the dutv of this house that no
laws should bp passed except those
winch the public interest actually
demands, his exc
cdlencv, the gov-
!, if compatible
with his sense of duty, to indicate
to this house where the necessity
exists for the passage of a registry
law, as recommended in his recent
message, if such a law already

executive authority.
THE RAILKOAD lOMJUSnlOAfcUM.
More Concerning Their Eemoval from Office
bj Governor Penooyer.
lt is said that much consterna
tion was created in the office of the
railroad commission Wednesday,
when each of'the members, Hon.
George A. Waggoner and ex-Senator
J. II. Slater, received from
Governor Pennoyer the following,
terse epistle :
Hr: You are hereby removed
from the otlice of railroad commis
sionei of Oregon for cause. Said
removal takes effect at this date.
Yours respectfully,
Syi.vesek Pknxoykr,
Governor of Oregon.
, Concerning their removal, which
was noticed in the Herald's tele
graphic report yesterday morning,
the .-alem Statesman says: ''The
recipients of this letter were non
plussed and indignant, but they
take the mat.er very coolly and
rely entirely upon the legislature
to set the matter right. They do
not believe the governor has power
to remove them except for cause,
and that cause must arise through
some fault in themselves as offi
cers, such as malfeasance, incom
petency or other legal impediment
existing in the officer himself.
Neither of these is charged by the
ro ernor, and it is alleged that he
acknowledges entertaining the
highest opi'iion of the members of
the commission for integrity and
competency. But the wonting of
the order of removal lei'ves a
stigma upon the men removed
which the' consider unjust and
the truth or falsity of which ought
to be established by legislative in
vestigation. "This sudden and unexpected
action was the subject of discus
sion in the lobby and among mem
bers all the afternoon, the general
drift of sentiment heard by the
reporter being that this act of the
governor was an arbitrary en
deavor to wipe out what was in his
eyes an obnoxious commision and
thus nullify the law which created
it. It is generally thought he over
reached his powers, and that the
legislature will at once investigate
the matter thoroughly. The result
most generally predicted by the
knowing ones is the reversal of ths
governor s action and the estab
lishment of a railroad commission
with well defined powers and
means of enforcement of decisions ;
also, that this commission will be
made elective by the present legis
lature until the next general elec
tion, w hen the people will choose
its members.
"A reporter visited the governor's
office with a view of ascertaining
if possible whether there was any
thing in the acts of the commis
sioners as otticers that caused their
removal, but he declined to be in
terviewed, saying th;i' his message
co.'!t:iii!fd he desired to express
iiii the subject at the present time."
