PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 8. (AP) A test case to determine the scope of the 'thome rule" provision In the Oregon constitution as it relates to liquor will be undertaken lmmedl taely as the result of the action of the city of Klamath Falls In chal lenging the right of the atate to en gage in the liquor business through operation of state - owned liquor stores. Dr. Will Inn 8. Knox, chairman of the committee appointed by Gov ernor Meier to make recommenda tions to the legislature on liquor regulations, said today he was pleas ed that the question had been brought to a point where final de termination may follow. Welcome Test We had planned to bring a teat case as soon as the 18th amendment Is repealed," Dr. Knox said. "We welcome this test case and every thing we can do will be done to ex pedite It." v The chairman said he hoped It might be brought Immediately to the state supreme court without delay In intervening legal channels. He explained Vie legislature cannot amend the home .rule provision. This must be done by the people, If the act Is found to be In conflict with desired legislation. There has been considerable eon troversy among apparently equally responsible legal authorities aa to whether Vie local option law has been revived aa part of the home rule amendment of the constitution. Some believe this provision has been permanently repealed by subsequent liquor legislation. Others hold that the bone dry amendment of the constitution automatically reinstated tns act. The home rule act occurs In Sec tion a, Article XI, of tho Oregon constitution. It provides that "cor porations may be formed under gen eral laws, but shall not be created by the legislative assembly by special ia,ws. ' Cities Keep Tower "Tho leglMatve assembly shall not enact, amend or repeal, any charter or act of incorporation for any mu nicipality, city or town. "The legal voters of every city and town are hereby granted, power to enact and amend their municipal charter, subject to the constitution and criminal laws of the state of Oregon, and tlie exclusive power to license, regulate, control, or to sup press or prohibit, the sale of Intoxi cating liquors therein la vested In such municipality: but such munic ipality shall within its limits be sub ject to the provisions of the local option law of the state of Oregon. interim Worries j Another matter which has resulted OREGON vs. O. S. C. NOVEMBER 11 if $6.60 ROI'SDTRIP Portland In considerable confusion of thought In connection with liquor law,, con cerns the condition that will tslst between December 8, when repeal will become effective, and the effective date of Oregon's regulatory taxation laws. Statutes "regulating taxation and exemption" cannot, under the Ore gon constitution, beoomo effective until 00 dsys after the special 20 day session ends. By thst token. Oregon's new liquor laws would not become operative until around the third week of next March. Some legislators are wondering, therefore, what condition will exist between December 5 and March 15. Obviously, unless the legislature adopts a temporary measure, Oregon will be wlthouta ny liquor regulations whstever, except for existing city or dinances. Under the old laws, any one who desires may then set up a saloon outside of a city limit, sub mit the required petition and the stipulated license fee to tho oounty court, and tho court will be faced wlWi the administrative duty of granting a license to operate the sa loon. Temporary Act .Seen There are those who believe the legislature may enact a temporary measure to hsndle the situation. The emergancy statue may provide that all purchasers of liquor must first obtain a consumers' permit and thst the lssusnce of this permit would require the payment of a stipulated fee. The Journal said today that "such a requirement would, It Is pointed out, be Identical In Its legal status with the driver's license required of motor owners and operators, consti tuting a regulatory provision based on the police power of the atate, and not falling under tho range of taxa- , tlon or exemption." I It also would be constitutionally possible, It Is contended, for the legislature to give the proposed liq uor control commission the author ity to sell hard liquors and forti fied wines to the consuming publu 1 "at a reasonable price" and that the excess between the cost price to the commission and the sales price to the consumer would not fall wlthli the deflnlatton or exemption.
