Monday before Judge Calkins at the county court the demurrers to the liquor Indictments were ar gued by R. G. Smith, In behalf of de fendants, and by District Attorney! Mulkey for the state. The Issue 13 whether or not the local option liquor law is In force : in Grants Pass since the adoption of the home rule amendment to the constitution. In other words, wheth er the defendants, Williams, Hearn, Pilkingtou, Whltsett and Howell can be tried now for violations com mitted prior to the adoption of the home rule amendment. Counsel for defense argued that the constitution is self-operating, and as soon as the home rule amendment was proclaimed by the governor that cities had the right to license and to regulate the sa loons. It was contended that this case was exactly the same as the Medford case of Hall vs. Dunn". Counsel for defense cited another case from Kentucky which was al most Identical with the one tried here. It was held In that case that the state could not prosecute for vio lations of the law after the enact ment of a general law taking a city out of loal option territory. At the time the Medford charter was amended local option was In force In all of Jackson county, in cluding the city of Medford, but af ter the amendment to said charter In 1905 the prohibition order made in June, 1905, In pursuance of the first local option election held In November, 1904, was annulled by the amendment to the charter. In Hall vs. Dunn, 52 Ore., page 486, the court said: "Prior to the amendment of the fundamental law of Oregon mention ed, the legislative assembly possess ed plenary power to alter the char ter of Medford so ns to take the ter ritory embraced within the boun daries of that city out of the provi sions of the local option liquor law." Of course, If this could then be done by the legislature, It can now be done by an amendment to the con stitution." District Attorney Mulkey contend ed for the state that the home rule amendment was not effective until an election was held In Grants Pass! on the question of prohibition, and that such election could not be held( until November, 1911, or November,' 1912, and that the local option order made In 1908 by the county court under the local option law would continue In effect within Grants Pass. Therefore the defendants could be prosecuted for such viola tions. The following was the brief on de murrer argued by R. G. Smith, Esq.: "The home rule amendment pro vides that the exclusive power over the Rnla of Intoxicating liquors Is In vested In Incorporated towns and cities. The amendment repeals by Implication all laws In conflict with It. Prior to the enactment of this amendment the city of Grants Pass had been Incorporated and given the power to prohibit, regulate and li cense the sale of liquors within the city, but that authority was suspend ed by the voting of prohibition un der the local option law.. Under the local option law the authority to enact prohibition In the county Is vested In the voters In the county. By a majority vote prohibition can be enacted throughout the county. The home rule amendment gives the exclusive power to regulate the li quor traffic within Incorporated towns to the municipality. The two arp absolutely Inconsistent. The au thority to prohibit ran not be vest ed In both a municipality and the county that embraces the municipal ity. Therefore the latter act Im pliedly repeals the locnl option law In relation to the vote by counties and any order made In pursuance of snche election. One or the other must yield.
