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Is repealed," Dr.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permanently repealed by subsequent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

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.
