REFERENDUM
QUESTION
ARGUED

Whether merely technical defects
| in a printed form shall defeat three
referendum petitions of over 5000
voters each, is the question to be de-
cided by Judge Galloway, of the equi-
ty department Of the circuit court
The case came up for argument on
mandamus proceedings this after
noon, in the instance of the petition
for the referendum on the Universi-
ty tax of $125,OOO per annum, which
was rejected by Secretary of State
Benson, upon the opinion of Attorney
General Crawford, and in two In
junction cases.
Two other referendum contests
were argued before the court. Ma
larkey and Logan appeared to Sc
cure lnjunctions against the placing
on the ballot of the proposed law to
break up the graft supposed to ac-
crue to Sheriff Stevens, of Portland,
in the boarding of prisoners. They
also demanded an injunction against
placing the official free pass bill on
the ballot by the secretary of state.
That is another graft the referendum
is aimed at and will destroy IL left
to a vote of the people. County
Judge Webster argued in favor of the
people having right to kill the
Stevens graft, regardless of technical
objections.
The big fight of the day was put
up by Tillmon Ford and M. e. Pogue,
to compel the secretary of state to
put the University tax bill on the bal
lot. Acknowledgement Crawford and
his assistants, Van Wrinkle and Bing-
ham, appeared for the secretary of
state, and to sustain the University
managers in keeping their bill from
going TO a popular vote.
The main question in the last case
is whether a new tax can be imposed
on the people without their consent
being secured under the referendum
clause of the constitution.
