Glaring Defects In . Act i By
Last - Legislative Assembly
Defined In Decision.
Justice Moore writing tbe- opinion,
tbe Sapierue Coart ia tbe case of the
City of Portland against John B.
Coffey, county clerk Multnomah
county, decided tbat tffstjpermaoeot
registiation law, passed at FBol reoent
session of the legislature, is ibilid.
As a result tbe old registration
id effeot.
Justice Moore bases his opinion upon
defects in the permanent registration
law, one of whioh might prevent a
person otherwise entitled to vote from
doing so. Be says if a certificate of
tegistration held by a person who bad
registered, bat bad moved from ? the
preoiuot in wbiob be registered should
be destroyed, under tbe aot tbe voter
could not thereafter exeroise the right
of suffrage. Tbe opinion says, in part:
"Any eleotor (under tbe aot) who
may complete his residenoe during tbe
period in wbiob. the registers are olosed
or who may attain the age of 21 years,
may register daring the a period of
four mouths next preceding tbe clos
ing of tbe registration for tbe eleotion
in which he desires to vote, (Section
7.)
"As long as an eleotor resides in tbe
pieoinotfrom wbiob be registers be
shall not be required to register again
unless be shall fail to vote at any gen
eral eleotion, or unless he changes bis
political affiliation. (Section 12.)
"When an eleotor removes from a
preoinot in which he is registered and
gains residence in another preoinot, be
must register tjy surrendering to tbe
county clerk his oertitloate of regis
tration to be oanoeled. .
"It will be remembered thatseotion
6 of the enaotment deolared tbat no
eleotor who is not registered shall be
entitled to vote at any state eleotion,
provided tbat in case' tbe Supreme
Conrt should bold tbe above provisions
for compulsory registration invalid,
then, and in tbat case only, tbe eleot
or may register with the judges of
eleotion upon eleotion day.
"Examining otber provisions of tbe
act it will be kept in mind tbat when
an eleotor is registered he shall re
ceive from the oonnty clerk a dupli
cate oopy of registration as a certifl
oate of eleotion. When an eleotor
mores from one preoinot in wbiob be
is registered and gains a resideooe in
another preoinot be is required to reg
ister ty surrendering to tbe proper
official his certificate of registration
and qansing bis former registration to
be oaooelled. ;-
" 'In case snob certificate of regis
tration bas keen lost or has been de
stroyed in any natural calamity, snob
eleotor shall produoe before tbe offi
cial registrar, or tbe county clerk,
two witnesses, wbo shall sign an affi
davit under oath that snob is the
fact ;
"From the language thus quoted it
is fairly to be implied tbat unless tbe
eleotor can substantiate in tbe man
ner prescribed tbe faot of the loss of
bis oertifloate, or tbat it has been de
stroyed in some natural calamity, the
voter cannot therefore exeroise bis
right of suffrage. Hence if tbe certi
ficate were torn up by a child or de
stroyed by a pup or any animal, bis
right to vote in any eleotion is for
ever gone, tbe unreasonableness of
whioh provision would seem quite
apparent."
