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

The sheets of the petition bearing

"The statute does not. contemplate
that the verity of this petition, as to

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

"Hut there is still a much broader

Tho Southern Pacific company
pave tho Asset company the sum of
$1,100 for the property, which is
necessary for the Coos Hay line, now

Asset company had not her offer,
however, and hesitated in ncceptini?

that negotiations with the Pacific

PRESIDENT TRANSMITS MESSAGE
10 CONGRESS DEALING WITH
IMPORTANT PUBLIC MATTERS
.Washington, Doc. 21. 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.
The Immediate establishment of a
rural parcels post Is u rged In 1 ln
message. The president unit tho po
sition that (he post would not destroy
the business of the country store
keeper, but that increased business
would follow.
On the question of wind her Amer
ican shipping should pay lolls
through the Panama canal, tho presi
dent said:
"I am very confident that Ihe Putt
ed St a I os has the power to re
lievo from the payment of lolls any
part of our shipping that congress
deems wise. Wo want control. It is
I'nlted States money that built It.

of many governments in subsidizing
