 acts on them.''
 No Right to Delegate Power.
 The claim that section 199 is unconstitu-
 tional is based on the premise that the
 legislature has no right to delegate to q
 City Council, organized under a charter
 and elected for another purpose, the pow
 CT to put a state law into effect at it's own
 convenience.
 Never before has the legislature of Ala
 bama delegated such power to a council.
 The Alabama supreme court has passed on the right to refer such questions to the electors, but never to another elective body.
 In other states the question has arisen. and some supreme courts have ruled enc
 way, some the other. The Alabama court will have to decide before the law in this state Is known.
 However. taking the whole code. includ- ing section 199 and applying it to the local organization, the attorney has found one
 other point which can be attacked. He states that the code does not provide that the president shall be elected by the coun- cl, but by the people. He ayers that it
 may be that President Parker is illegally elected, and that there should ben presi- dent of the council until the people have elected one.
 In Precarious Condition If this be true. he states that 1t places the city in d very precarious position, that it may mean all the action taken
 under the new organization null and void.
 that It tangles up the cty's improvement
 ordinances and causes trouble generally.
 In case Mayor Ward should accept the
 present organization without attack, and the matter is not decided by the supreme court, it leaves the city open to suits for
 recovery and other mx-ups at any time The lawyer states that in order to re-
 move all these difficulties, both for Bir-
 mingham and other cities in the state. a practical plan might be to get the legis- lsture to repeal the objectionable sections. which in reality were amendments. It Is known that 4 number of legislators are
 considering. should the legislature meet. securing a two-thrds permission and hav- ing the sections repealed. These facts are practically those which will be presented to the Mayor. officially, by his advisors today. and he will map out his plans accordingly.

state in manner that will give
fair and proper representation for
the state at large is a serious prob
lem that now confronts the people.
Under the present system it is an
easy matter to work a combination
of special interests for certain pop.
ulous districts. Eastern Oregon
with her vast territory, cuts but
little figure in legislative matters.
No one can successfully deny the
fact that each county ought to have
a representative.
We are we'll aware of this fact
here in Morrow county. In the
matter of legislative representation
the News has expressed the exact
belief of the Gazette.
The source of lawmaking should
at all times be kept within the
hands of the whole people.

Within ashort time two murders
have beer committed, one in AS
toria and the other in Portland.
The cause of the murders has been
over two dissolute women who
have been parading under the dis
guise of respectability, but who in
fact were not worth the powder
and lead that it took to kill their
paramours. In Astoria the COR
oner's jury went so far as to ex-
onerate the murderer, with the ex-
cuse of execution of unwritten law
to remove a despoiler of homes.
And now the Portland murderer is
Offering the same defense. Port
land papers have recently devoted
considerable editorial space to the
dangerous unwritten law custom.
1t Is time that something should
be said against such dangerous
custom. The revolver is of very
little, if any, use in modern times.
The companionship of guns usually
leads to the hangman's moose or
the penitentlary. The carrying of
concealed weapons should be made
a felony.

NksTRKCTING THE STATE.

'.Ihe Grangers of the state are
Kv0w proposing plan for redistrict-
ing the state for legislative pur-
Kysees SO that no district will elect
mose than one member, thus con-
ttsmp,sting the division of thickly
nsopuiated counties into as many
districts as each has members of
rSaseelesislatnle. If such an appor-
stsonnent be made solely on popu-
Astioa, 1t will not remedy the
siaouble sought to be relieved.
Tbs fact is, that in state situated
rsss Oregon is, with but small area
Exa waich population is congested,
"a basis of population alone is not
ttzse true one for the best and most
seGRitable results. The idea of a
Representative system of govern
fMent is to keep the source of law
Euakng as close as possible to the
wsshole people and to make combi-
rn9tions of special interests and
Hocaaities difficult and impractlc-
exile.
The News believes that the basic
Eprincdple of legislative representa-
tien should be one member of the
glewe- house from each county in
the state, the surplus Of the total
sa0eubership of the House to be d.
-Tiaed among the larger counties,
rxzotcounty to be allowed more than
seee-sixth of the whole number.
This would do away with three
tbad features which now obtain,
~lIz: the gerrymandering of the
state in its thinly settled portions
for political purposes; the trading
hisesween counties where there are
more than one county in district
rby which not the best but the
most feasible geographical candi-
eaGete is selected, and last and worst,
vSne placing in one locality such q
Legislative power as can dictate by
combinations the entire policy OF
gane state.
The state senate should be pro-
~ided for in a similar way, allow
