FIAT OF PEOPLE IS SUPREME
Unless Higher Courts Interyene
Question of Local Option VIII
Be Voted Upon Noyem-
ber Z.

Presiding Judge George, of the stat
circuit court for Multnomah count.
declined yesterday afternoon to enjoi
the county officers from submitting
the question Of local option to a vot
OF the people.
In lengthy decision handed dowi
by the court in the case of Henr.
weinhard VS.. Lionel L. Webster ct al
it was held that the suit was brought
to enjoin public officers from enforc-
ing the local option acts provisions in
the coming election, on the ground that
the act itself is invalid because It is
unconstitutional.
The court was not clear that the
act is inactive. and therefore must
leave the act where it finds it.
Tt is clear" the decision says,
that the legislative authority can not
delegate its power to make law. but ac-
cording to the general consensus of ju-
dicial authority in this country 1t can
itself make the law. and the law can
delegate power to determine some
fact or state of things upon which
the law makes or intends to make its
own action depend"
The decision goes deeply into the
law as it stands on the statute books.
and then takes up the question of veto
power. In that respect the court
holds:
IF the act of the legislature is re-
ferred to the people by direct act
of the legislature even approved by the
governor, the approval of the governor
is reversed by adverse vote of the
people. The fiat of the people is SUI
preme. Yet, however, it is claimed
that where the people themselves en-
act the law and approve it in the elec-
tive will expressed by the people, in
such cases the governor can reverse
the will of the people and reject by
veto law enacted by the people.
"The veto power of the governor
means what it says: The veto power
of the governor does not extend to
measures referred to the people. To
hold that the veto power does extend
to the initiative and referendum is
to negative the will of the people
1.-The power of the court to enjoin
an election in this country is very
questionable and certainly only in a
clear case, if at all, courts should ever
enjoin semblance of an election by
the people. The court will decline to
act in this case"
The effect of the decision means that
the question Of local option will be
submitted to a vote in November, as
the law provides, unless some inter-
vening action is taken by the supreme
court.

New York. Oct. 26.-While the
North sea affair has caused nothing
approaching alarm in marine insur-
ance circles, says a Times dispatch

driven to consider seriously the risks

Inquiries are numerous for war

probable that a good deal Of bushes
will result.

Special Committee Of Council
Turns Down Proposal for Erec.
ton Of Brick City Hall,
COST WOULD BE TOO GREAT
Alteration Would Necessitate q
Expenditure of About $685..
900 In Excess of Present
Contract Price.

The proposal for the construction
OF brick city hall has been turned
down by the council committee APP
pointed to investigate the feasibilit,
of the matter. There Is doubt tha,
the foundation would carry the addi-
tional weight, and the cost would be
so much greater that the council is
not anxious to make the alteration In
the plans.
when Councilman Belland advane-
ed the idea at Monday nights meet
ing Of the council a special committee
consisting of Mayor Suprenant and
the members of the committee on pub
lie property was appointed to confer
with Architect Schacht and the con-
tractors, Messrs. Ferguson and Hous-
ton. Yesterday meeting OF the COM
mittee, architect and contractors was
held. and it was agreed by the COM
mittee to make an adverse report.
The report will be submitted to the
council at the next meeting. one week
from Monday night, and probably will
be adopted. settling the matter def
nitely.
Mr.. Schacht expressed the opinion
that the concrete footings upon which
the stone basement rests would not
hold the weight of a brick building.
and his idea was shared by the con-
tractors. This objection to the pro-
posal for alteration OF the plans was
a serious one and practically determin-
ed the adverse report Of the commit
tee.
The question OF the cost OF brick |
structure was also discussed at length. |
1t appeared from the statements OF
the architect that pressed brick. with
terra Gotta trimmings would entail
an additional expense OF fully $4,000, |
of which amount $4,000 would be re-
quired for the terra Gotta work. This
Is more money than the city could af-
ford to put into the building. for II |
would bring up the total cost to about
$4,000.
In view of these objections to the
the committee determined to
make an unfavorable report, and the
hopes of those who expected the coun-
Ill would make provision for the erec-
ton Of an attractive building were
blasted. The building OF the new city
nall means the expenditure Of about
$1,000, as the plans stand at present.
and the city, as everyone knows. is
not overburdened with funds. Indeed,
are wondering where the
money is to come from to pay for the
lall, although the payments will
doubtless be promptly met,
Architect Schacht s"A
-egested at yes
.ay's conference that tiling be used
or flooring and wainscotting, and that
Pullman plateglass be used for the
windows. These alterations would
mean an additional cost of $4,000. The

,estion to the council, without recon-
