In Its amendment or nullification." That the Supreme Court decision. Involving the question of the right of the State Legislature to enact law calculated to repeal ordinance of a city pursuant to powers granted It by its charter Is of the utmost Impor tance Is the opinion of City Attorney La Roche and cither attorney of Portland, says the Oregoulan. "The decision," said City Attorney La Roche, "recogulxeM absolutely the principal of home rule. It holds, as I understand It. that the Legislature shall not niiiend a city charter or pass laws which might repeal mea sure enacted under powers granted by the charter of the city.

Involved in the general proposition are such Issues as the police pension system, local option laws, anil home rule legislation. The home rule principal seems to be established clearly In the decision. I consider the decision the most Important since I have been In the position of City Attorney. The decision Is taken by attorneys as uu Indication that the police pen sion act as passed by the legislature will be knocked out now iu the case now before the Supreme Court.
