The veto power of the governor
does not apply to initiative measures
adopted by the people, so holds the
attorney general in an opinion given
yesterday morning to Governor
Chamberlain on an inquiry made by
Deputy District Attorney John Nc
Court of this city.
The opinion is in part as follows:
In accordance with yours of recent
date, enclosing letter from John Nc
Court of Pendleton, Ore, relative to
the powers of cities to amend their
own charters, and requesting opinion
of this office upon the subject of said
letter, I have examined the questions
referred to in said letter, and be-
lieve the counsel has not thoroughly
examined the case of Kaddadiy VS..
Portland, A Oregon 11S, for he states
that said case holds that tho governor
has the power to vetJ initiative meas
ures as distinguished from measures
IL on which the referendum has been
exercised, etc. / find on referring to
said case, subdivision of the opinion
of the court, page 146, that Judge
Bean holds that the veto power of the
governor is not abridged in any way
except as to such laws as the legisla-
ture may refer to the people.
Section Is of article v of the con-
stitution provides that every bill
which shall have passed the Legislative
assembly and before 1t becomes a law
shall be presented to the governor.
find no other section of the constitu-
ton providing that any bill whatever
shall be presented to the governor. 1t
is only those which passed the legisla-
tive assembly.
Therefore laws enacted by the leg
islative method do not go to the gov
ernor, and he can never exercise his
veto power on them. Judge Bean
held further in said case above mem
toned that the governor could ex-
ercise the veto power on all measures
except those which were referred by
the legislature to the people, that is
upon all measures passed by the legis-
lative assembly, and those are the
only ones which go to the governor
at ALL
The reason he cannot exercise the
veto power upon those referred to
the people, is by virtue of the provis-
ion of section / of article w, of the
constitution as amended June 2, 1902,
which provides: THE veto power of
the governor shall not extend to meas
ures referred to the people" And
the said case of Kadderly VS.. Portland
construes that provision as applying
and excepting from the veto power
those measures which were enacted
by the legislative assembly and at the
same time referred to the people for
a popular vote to determine whether
they should or should not become
laws.
The veto power in such cases can
not be exercised by the governor, but
the people themselves exercise it at
the next regular election or at any
election called for the purpose of vot-
ing upon that measure.

In the Cayuse wreck on the o. r. &
NJ. yesterday filed suit in Portland
asking 500, 900 damages from the rail-
road company for a broken back and
paralysis which resulted from his in
juries. The complaint enters into the
conditions causing the wreck, in full,
stating that the track was not proper
ly ballasted, that the ties were defec-
tive and that the company was negli-
gent in many ways. The Chinaman
claims to be but 3S years of age, al
though he looks much older. 1t is
said that there is little hope of his
broken back ever becoming sound
again. Chinese of Portland are direct
ing the case for him.

At the Opera House.

The 25th and final edition of the
Devils Auction rewritten and
modernized, was presented here Tuesday,
May 7, to large and appreciative
audience, whose only regret was that
they were witnessing for the last time
this famous stage production which has
made for itself reputation second to
none. Such electrical and scenic effects,
bewildering transformations, superb
costumes and clever acting have rarely
if ever, been seen on our local stage. The
cast was large and varied, carrying as it
did some 20 or more, besides the chorus
and ballet, and was bound in some part
to appeal to the tastes of all.
Mr.. Thomas "Mephisto" was excep-
tionally strong and played with an
arrogant dignity and complacency that
commanded admiration, if not approval
of the entire crowd. In direct contrast
was the Crystalline" of Miss Marie
Elmer, who won the hearts of the audi
ence in her immortal role of fairy
protectoress, and who by the bestowal
of the much sought Golden Branch
frustrated the evil designs of Count
Fortunio," creation of "Mephisto,"
and smoothed the way for Carlos" a
poor shepherd, whose persistent wooing
of "Madaline" led him nearly to the ends
of the earth. George M. Topack, as
"Tobey" donkey, afterwards trans
formed into a man, played the leading
comedy part, and was as good as a
whole minstrel show, keeping the audi
ence in uproar all the time. Only words
of approval and satisfaction have been,
heard from all sources in regard to the
production and also congratulations to
the management, who in return promise
US still more attractions of prominence
and quality in the near future.

Side Tracked.

Mark Twain tells of an incident which
happened on one of his lecture tours. He
delivered one of his most comical adj
dresses to quite a large audience in
country town, had exerted himself to the
end, but had utterly failed to cause an
audible smile. He had finally closed
with the impression that he must have
been failure. AS the audience was
leaving one of the gentlemen came I'D to
him and said, "Mr. Twain, we enjoyed
your address very much as it was ex-
tremely interesting, but do you know
there were may times during the evening
had just all l could do to keep from
bursting into laughter, some of your re-
marks were SO very funny"
II you will attend performance of
that comedy DRAMA "Side Tracked"
you will find something quite as funny
