Arrested for a Forged Order.

Arthur b. 7. Laughlin, boy haillng
from London, Ontario, was arrested Sat
nrday by Patrolman Pickett for defraud-
ing George H. Mccoy, the Pearl street
restaurant keeper out of a weeks board
by means of forged order. Laughlin
says that he came to Portland two weeks
ago intending to go to England as a
oattleman on one of the steamers, but he
could not secure place. He only had a
little money with him and as soon as this
was gone he had to devise some means of
living. Knowing that te would not be
trusted on his own account he secured n
Palace theatre heading and wrote the
following note, which he delivered to Mr..
Mccoy and thus secured a weeks b GARD
and lodgings:
This lad is working for me and is
getting 81 per week. Please trust him 60
one weeks board and I will be in to
settle for 1t. II you can get him room
please do SO and will be responsible for
pay.
(Signed) B. WOLFE.
Saturday Mr.. Mccoy called at the
Palace theatre to obtain what he supposed
was due him for Laughlin's board, and
was much surprised to find that the or
der he held was worthless. 1t has not
been decided yet, what disposition will
be made of Laughlin. for the police are
inclined to believe that the boy was
honest enough when he wrote the order
and thought that he could obtain work
and pay his board when it came due.
He now offers to ship as a oattleman and
assign his pay to settle the bill.

ofacer webster Has a Shock.


Yesterday morning while Officer
Webster was patrolling his beat he sud-
denly fell and rolled into the gutter. 1t
was very stormy. and perhaps for that
reason, no persons passed by him. Final
ly he managed to crawl to Fickett's drug
store near by, and got some medicine,
and then feeling somewhat restored, he
started for his home. When he got inside
his home he fell again. DR.. Bray was
called and said that Webster was suffer
ing from stroke of paralysis which had
affected his lett leg and side. Last night
DR.. Bray said he could not tell how the
case would turn out but he hoped for the
best.
Officer Webster Is a powerfully built
man, over six feet high. and about
middle age. He has been on the force a
number Of years and is an efficient
officer.

picious nature was found on his person

The Agricultural College Appropriation
Unconstitutional.

Unconstitutional.
To the Editor Of the Press:
1t is q matter of surprise with many
that the constitutional point so we'll
taken by you in the Saturdays issue of
the PRESS was not referred to in any of
the discussions had upon that appropria-
ton.
The power of legislature in matters
of legislation are by Article 4, part and
section of the constitution limited to
making and establishing cali reasonable
laws and regulations for the defence and
benefit of the people of this state not re-
pugnant to the constitution, nor that OF
the United States.
For one legislature to undertake
legislature, az to it's appropriations :of
money, is an assumption Of power not
authorized by the constitution. Every
legislature has absolute control over it's
own appropriation bills, subject only to
constitutional limitations
If the Legislature Of 1897 has power to
direct the legislature of 1899 to pay the
Agricultural college s25, 900, it has the
same power to order 1t to pay fifty, on
one hundred thousand dollars. Appropri-
ations of money involve taxation. BY
section of article of the Constitution
a legislature cannot SIN any manner
surrender the power Of taxation but if
one Legislature can by it's action compel
q subsequent one to appropriate and pay
specific sum of money it involves the
surrender of constitutional right.
ARTICLE of the constitution Is the only
authority given the legislature to endow
"oollegs, academies and seminaries of
learning" and reads as follows: sit
shall be their (the legislature's) duty to
encourage and suitably endow from time
people may authorize, all academies,
colleges and Summaries of learning with
in the state" This language is too plain
to be misunderstood. These endowments
are to be made, not without reference or
regard to the wants and necessities of
lneS6 1nSUlUuG1Ong, uuU AfoiH Ulf00 to
time'' as their needs may require not
without regard to the ability of the people
to respond to taxation, but as the "cir-
oumstances of the people may authorize. -
Two points are here involved, fret, the
present necessity of an institution
second, the ability Of those who are to be
taxed from which to raise the money.
Tho same objection applies to long list
of academy grants in this state requiring
an annual appropriation for ten years
after their passage. These grants are ali
legally dead after the legislature, which
passed them are defunct; and the only
thing that gives them subsequent life o,
vitality are the new appropriations made
by subsequent Legislatures.
Leaving out the constitutional question
1T is safe to sag that the people Of this
state have had enough of this kind Of
legislation especially when bold, un
blushing attempt is made to scoop from
the state treasury a quarter Of million
CT dollars, mortgaging the credit Of the
