Oregon's supreme court last
week upheld the contention of the
Observer: that an election for o r
against prohibition can o n ly be
legally held during N o vem b er.
T h e decision says “ if a city would
operate under the local option law
it must have the election on the
first Tuesday-after the first M o n ­
day in N ovem ber. T h e county
court has no power to entertain a
petition unless the same is filed not
less than 30 days nor m ore than
90 days before that day in any
year and it has no pow er to order
an election to be held at any other
time in the year.”
W a w ill not be responsible for the
neglect of subscribers to notify as of
changes in their address. N or w ill the
notification of a Postmaster that the sub­
scriber has “ Removed” settle the bill of a
delinquent.
M e m o ria l day at M o ro was very
quietly''observed;
relatives and
friends visiting the cemetery in
small groups to decorate the last
resting place of those who have
gone before. Those not so fo r­
tunate as to Teceive flowers from
out of town used the flowers that
were in bloom in the gardens of
the city and what w ild flowers
could be gathered.
As we grow older M em o rial D ay
is rapidly losing its strictly m ilitary
characteristics and becoming more
a nation wide day o f observance
in remembrance of departed ones.
But a few years ago part' of every
annual recurring M em o rial D ay
was given over to sports of differ­
ent kinds, but that is passing also,
until now every year as the beauti­
ful month o f M a y hastens to a
clcse we gather our garlands and
in the quietness and peace of the
grave yard we lay our flowers up­
on the last resting place of those
who have fought the battle o f life
upon a la r g e r and more com­
prehensive scale than that of a

Weights and measures given to
Oregon by th<j federal govern­
ment in the early ’60s have been
shipped b y Treasurer Kay to
Washington to be tested.
M r.
Kay is state sealer of weights and
measures, and the new law passed
by the last legislature will be
strictly enforced througout the
state; every place of business, from
a candy store to a warehouse, will
be forced to destroy every scale not
accurate.
Testing weights and
scales, through out Oregon, has
never been enforced because of
lack of funds. T h e new law pro­
vides that an assistant may be
appointed in each county for a
short period each year.
