FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY,
POWER COMPANY
FILES INJUNCTION
ASK8 FOR PERMANENT INJUNC
TION RESTRAINING CITY FROM
PLACING FRANCISES ON BAL
LOTALLEGED FLAW
The California-Oregon Power Com
pany, through Its attorney, C. J. Fer
guson, filed a complaint for an In
junction against A. I Lonvltt, police
Judge, from further making prepara
tions to place on the ballot of the two
franchises In regard to the Keno
Power Company being gicn a fran
chise to enter this city ,late )csterday.
Judge Kuykendall issued the in
junction and tbe merits of both sides
will be argued late today before the
court to ascertain whether or not there
Is grounds for making the injunction
permanent pending a request stated
in tbe complaint.
The complaint Is based on Section
108 of the city charter) which states
that all franchises shall first be
placed In form of an ordinance and
hhiil I tlrst be published twice in the
city official paper. The complaint
slates that such action has not been
taken in the instnnce of the initiative
nnd referendum the Keno Power Com
pany placed before the council several
weeks ago, or on the competing fran
chise introduced In the council some
time ngo, nnd nsks that the Injunction
be permanent until the proposed fran
chises nre published In full. The com
plaint further declares that It will In
crease the cost to the peoplo nnd tax
able property, of which the California
Oregon Power Company is a holder
in this state, and will not be legal.
Section 108 of the city charter fur
ther states such publication shall tako
place within a certain porlod before
the final passago of the affirmative
vote of at least two-thirds of all the
members of tho council and the appro
val of tho mayor. It does not refer
to Initiative franchises before the peo
ple. Under Section 58 of the city charter,
applying to the initiative and referen
dum, the charter guarantees to the
people nil rights under this state law
nnd the city council some time ngo
adopted nn ordinance further relating
to the state Initiative and referendum
law.
The pamphlets containing the two
ordinances In full, which It is proposed
shall be preset! ted, to the voters, nre
now In course of preparation, to be dis
tributed to the voters of the city under
the Btnte Initiative nnd referendum
law. The state law does not require
thut ordinances shall be printed In a
paper, but that they shall bo printed
in pamphlet form nnd distributed to
the voters.
The complaint of the power com
pnny is signed by Alex J. Rosoborough,
vice-president of the company.
The case Is set for hearing late to
day before the circuit Judge, when the
city will be represented by R. C.
Orocsbeck, city attorney, the Keno
Power Company by C. F. Stone, and
the California-Oregon Power Com
pany by C, J, Ferguson.
A permanent injunction would de
lay tho presentation of these fran
chises before the people until after
the election date set.

ONLY ONE REAL
SESSION FIGHT
CALIFORNIA SOLONS ACCOM
PLISH NOTHING REGARDING
LIQUOR LEGISLATION AFTER A
LOT OF FU8S
SACRAMENTO, April 27. After a
sixty-six day grind the Forty-second
California legislature is expected to
adjourn today or tomorrow sine die.
This legislature will go down in his
tory as one of little constructive work.
The measures of real importance
passed by the two branches could al
most be counted on ten fingers. Two
of the most important land coloni
zation and social insurance were
holdovers from tbe 1915 session.
..Less than one-fifth of tbe bills In
troduced will go on the statute books.
Close to 1800 proposed laws never
reached the floor of either house.
There was only one real, genuine
fight during the whole session one
that stirred the state from one end to
another, and that brought on by tbe
Rominger anti-saloon, anti-ardent 11
quor bill. After a spectacular fight
In the senate, the bill was passed by
that branch only to be beaten by tbe
assembly In a fight equally as spec
tacular. Practically nothing was done
by the legislature In the way of liquor
regulation, though at the outset boose
legislation occupied tbe main spot
light. a
