Be Established. SALEM, Ore., May 20. Declaring that to grant the prayer of C. C. Chapman in his attack on the. ballot title to tho referendum petition on the cigarette license law "would tablish a precedent which would within itself constitute the graves! assault ever made upon tho people of direct legislation," Circuit Jmlge L. II. McMahon today dismissed the petition. In his order of fl!sm!ftl he called attention to the fact that tho code grants 20 days after certifying of the ballet title to take an appeal from the decision of the circuit court in such case. He points out that In the present case the relator failed to file his appeal within the time allowed b: the code and attempted to secure an order by Injunction, which, If allowed at tiiia late date "would render nil e:natures now obtained by the pro ponents. or the measure vuiueicss nnu deprive them of the opportunity fo complete their- petitions within the time prescribed by law therefor. If this can he done m this case ft can bo done in all cases and every nt tempt to invoke either the initiative or referendum cotild be defeated by sscb proceedings and a complaisant judge.1 Dealers Hold tax Referendum Sure PORTLAND, Ore., May 20.
