W i 1 V rrnt u rvB m n d l h c h w m n ti ra JUDGE GALLOWAY FILES DECISION HOLDING FOR IN Guard Special Service. Salem, Or., Dec. 21. Judge Wm. Galloway, in the circuit court for Marion county, filed his decision in the University referendum case at 1 o'clock today. Ko holds the petitions filed against the University appropriation of $503,000 to be fraudulent and invalid, and sustains the plaintiff on every point of law and equity. H. J. Parkison is held up for reproach for liis part in the circulation of the petitions, and on the equity point, the court holds that those who are defending the peti tions are not "in court with cHan hands." The injunction asked for by the plaintiff, S. H. Friendly, is granted and made permanent, restraining the secretary of siate from printing the title of the referendum on the official election ballot. Tho opinion of the court is lengthy and prepared with ev ident care, and goes fully into the the points oi law ar.ckeqtuty involved. The right of S. H. Fpemlly to bring the auii is suiMtiiii;tted. for, as a citizen, he is fully as ant lo he in- tcrcstcd in a petition that has hemi filed as in one that has been rejected, r.nd in the case of a rejected petition tliere are express provisions in the law for the brfhifiinff of mandamus roceriinfi-i nsrainst the secretary of Rtnte to compel the fllinc; of the peti t iOil it It is tVtlUt mfii:-!' decision holds that it wa tent ion of the legislature u. Tl)p the in- hut any citizen should have the risht to man damns the secretary The sheets of the petition bearing no form of petition heading t!iereqn are declarer! void. "The statute does not. contemplate that the verity of this petition, as to the material statutory requirements hereof, shculd depend on the oral, testimony of any one. but requires i tain this fact, but filed them with the that it bear upon its face the evi- others. These names form a part of donee thereof at the time of being these now admitted to be fraudulent, circulated, and at the time t;f beiuR Doubtlesn few of the reputable sicn tendered for filing- Mu--: less, then, ers of the petition knew their names could we entertain tho oral testimony were being- used as articles of traffic in explanation of the present condi- , tien of the po'.Uim as to its form, I when it is surrounded with sue, f m::ss of fraud, charged and confessed in this ease, and by one who at least is indirectly if not directly responsi- bio therefor.

"Hut there is still a much broader view of this case that this court, tie in;; an equity court, might lake of tup wnoie rnniier, , moral side thereof, and motives which prompted the circulation oi nic pe tition; the manner in which it was done and the connection of H. .1. Par kifon therewith, and his acts re-zard-ing the same." .fudge Galloway says: "The right of petition, reserved by the constitution, to refer to a vote of the people any mea.-ure passed by the legislature, was not intended to be used to settle or adjust private and Incal grievance;-; hut the richt con- t.-mnlntos the right to nnW the honest spnttniont of disaffected ers upon public matteis oniv I'.vi- deite in this cas" disclosed that ..

President Taft sent another of his promised series of messages to congress today. This time ho dealt with currency reform, Panama canal tolls, and various governmental questions. . On tho subject of currency reform and in connection with the forthcoming report to congress of tho monetary -commission, President Taft said it was exceedingly fortunate that tho "wiso and undisputed policy of maintaining unchanged the main features of our banking system, rendered it at onco im possible to introduce a central bank." Ho gave his approval to tho proposed national reserve association, but as to its man agement, he said that was tho work for tho bankers. Howev er, ho urged that somo form of government supervision be do vised, and that currency reform should not bo mado a political issue.
