BUY MORE BLOODED STOCK HOME RULE PUZZLES SOME CITIES REMAIN DRY; OTHERS REMAIN WITHOUT LAWS. George:' E. Farewell, "Attorney for Wholesale Liquor Dealers, Says There Is No Confusion. Incorporated cities that voted "wet" in counties that voted "dry" at the recent election where local option elections were held, will be allowed to sell liquor as soon as the Governor of Oregon proclaims that the home rule amendment to the constitution has carried. This is the opinion of George E. Farewell, representative of the whole sale liquor dealers, who outlines other effects of the amendment as follows: Incorporated cities In "dry" coun ties that did aiot have a local option election must remain "dr'y" for two years. Incorporated cities that voted "wet" in counties that voted "wet" may sell liquor as soon as the County Court de clares the vote carried and sets aside the order of prohibition, without wait ing for the adoption of the Home Rule amendment. Councils in incorporated cities that are "wet" may elect not to grant liq uor licenses Five Counties Affected. J. R. Knodell, superintendent of the Oregon Anti-Saloon League, expresses views that coincide only In part with those of Mr. Farewell. According to Mr. Farewell the only counties In the state that will be affecteoVby the Home Rule amendment as soon as it be comes operative are Linn, Douglas, Hood River, Josephine and Wallowa. These counties have all apparently gone "dry," but several of the Incor porated cities voted "wet." All these cities that voted "wet," Mr. Farewell says, may sell liquor under the regula tion of city ordinances and the crimi nal laws of the state as soon as the Governor proclaims the amendment a part of the constitution. In Yamhill, Benton and Lane coun ties, where no local option election was held, the incorporated cities must re main "dry" with the county unless they are voted "wet" two years hence, as provided by the local option law. Dry counties that voted "wet" may dispense liquor without waiting for the amendment to be proclaimed. These counties are Crook, Gilliam, Klamath, Malheur, Morrow, Polk, Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla and Un ion. Opinions on Law Differ. There Is a wide diversity of opinion concerning the meaning of the Heme Rule amendment. Attorney-General Crawford Is preparing an opinion on the measure, which will be finished In a day or two. Other attorneys, when asked for an opinion, would not dis cuss the bill offhand and asked time to read It over and compare the amendment with the provisions of the present local option law. Following la an opinion Mr. Fare well submitted: First Where counties (or subdivis ion thereof Including cities), hereto fore "dry," vote "wet," no city therein voting "wet" can license saloons until the County Court enters an order set ting aside the former order of prohi bition, which muBt be done forthwith after the canvassing of the vote. Second In case, however, such city was formerly "dry" by help of out side precincts, but "wet" by vote with in city alone, and no vote on local op tion was taken this year. It is not clear whether, the amendment can give the city power of issuing licenses until the same territory votes "wet." It will take a tet case to decide. I believe, howev er, the County Court can be compelled to vacate such order of prohibition, within the city, as soon as the Gover nor has issued his proclamation that the constitutional amendment has car ried, or the city can ignore the order and issue licenses. The amendment Is nblert to the local option law, nui cal option law will keep cities In those counties 'dry" for two years. Outshle. Vote Not Binding. "In Linn, Douglas, Hood River, Jo sephine and Wallowa Counties the sit uation is different and they present the only cases where the provisions of the home rule bill will really become op erative. Cities that voted 'wet' In these counties, when the home rule amend ment becomes effective, will have the right to sell liquor. They will not be bound by the rural or the outside vote. This is the object of the home rule amendment and nothing more. There is 'nothing confusing about the measure, it means just what It says that Is, to give each city a right to govern itself so long as that govern ment Is consistent with the local option law and the criminal laws of the state." J. R. Knodell, superintendent of the Oregon Anti-Saloon League, suld; "The home-rule amendment is the greatest monstrosity ever seen in Ore gon legislation. It first throws the state wide open to the sale of liquor and then it closes it up tighter than ever before. It has written the present local option laws into the constitution, but in doing so, it has brought on two extremes that will not be satisfactory to the extremists on either side of the liquor question. It does not help the man who really wants to clean up It opens and then shuts the door to the liquor traffic. It cannot be satisfactory to either extremist. Cities Left Without Iaws. "The counties that voted 'wet' un der present local option laws are wet' without the home-rule bill and will remain so until they are vqted 'dry' under the local option law. But when the home-rule amendment Is declared adopted there will be no law to govern the sale of liquor In cities In these 'wet' counties unless the city councils adopt Ordinances prior to the adoption of the constitutional amendment. In the 'dry counties that contain cities that voted 'wet', the cities must re main 'dry' until the amendment Is a part of the constitution and then they must hold an election and vote on the question before they may sell liquor. Local option law in 'dry' counties that did not vote on the question of local option at the recent election, will re main In force until an other election is held. "I hope something can be done wlth the . home-rule bill to clean up the liquor traffic, but I doubt It. The men behind it will soon find they have a big fight on their hands. They will be caught between the two extremists, the law cannot be satisfactory to el- ther the radical prohibitionist or the advocate of the saloon without re straint. I hope they may be able to make something out of It but I can't see how." (Continued on Page Four.) Will Muke Polk Comity "Jerney Inland of Pa lllc CmM." A letter from J. B. Stump, of Mon mouth Oregon says they are getting Jersey crasy up that way and have de termined to make Polk county the Jer sey Island of the Pacific coast. They have bought another carload of Jer seys In Kentucky and Clark Hem bree of Monmouth and Ross Nelson, of Independence, started after these cattle on the !7th of October. The load consists of twenty-one head of richly-bred, high-class cattle, and while east these gentlemen vWll attend Mr. Spann's auction sale and will more than likely make some additional purchases at that time. Mr. Stump and Mr. Nelson are both highly pleased with the Jersey Island i cattle which they purchased last spring. It being the first Importstlon direct from the Island to Oregon. Mr.) Stump writes that May Blossom has j improved wonderfully and Is develop ing Into a great cow. We shall have more to say about the Kentucky Jer seys upon their arrival In Polk Coun ty.

Such order being supported by a vote outside of the city, only. It follows that such or der of the County Court Is a nullity after the passage of the amendment. Third In case a city was formerly "dry" but at the recent election the city within Its limits went "wet," and at the same time the entire county or subdivision thereof including such city went "dry," the County Court would have no power to order the city "dry." as the Home Rule amendment prohlbltsjt. Fourth The status of all precincts within a city whether "wet" or "dry." remains unchanged under the amend ment. Fifth No "dry" precinct or pre cincts as subdivisions of the city can be authorlned by the County Court as "wet" territory until the same subdi visions go "wet" under a local option vote. Sixth No city council can license the sHle of liquor In any precinct of a rlty while a valid order of the County Court stands declaring It "dry" under the local option law. ' Seventh The council of a rlty may refuse license, slthough the city votea "wet." And this extends to any pre tlnts therein. Eighth The "dry" status of a county precinct Is not changed by the amendment, even If made "dry" by the help of a city being included In the district. IxkwI 0ion Iw ModiM-d. "I can nothing complicated about the amendment. " (aid Mr. Fare well.
