After discussing briefly the Calves
tor and Des Moines systems and crit
icizing :he former as an almost entire
separation of the people from then
civic duties, Admiral Chadwick con-
tinued.
THE system adopted in Newport Z.
l., and very successful thus far in its
operation. is in great degree a re-
turn to popular government. 1t is when
analyZeG system of a small body OF
administrators. six in all. who are
completely responsible for the manner
in which administration is carried on.
But all power of taxation, appropria-
tion of funds. appointment to the more
important city offices. is in the hands
of a body OF l95 which We call the
Representative Council. In principle
the system is not unlike that of Wash
inCton. where there is an executive
commission Of three men appointed by
the president and subject to Congress.
There is no analogy whatever between
the Washington usage and the Calves
ton plan. The Washington commits
sion has not plenary powers any more
than has the board of aldermen at
Newport. The latter as well as Wash
ington is the Galveston or the Des
Moines system. plus a large popular
supervising body"
Admiral Chadwick declared the Dcs
Moines charter to be long step from
the crudity OF the Galveston system.
Its vital defect, in his view. is in leav-
ing the whole money power in the
hands of one small body of men. He
continued:
The essential difference between
Des Moines and Newport is that in the
latter there is an entire separation of
the spending power from the power
authorizing expenditure. This, how
ever. is n deep and vital difference; a
difference the necessity of which has
world wide recognition. The whole
evolution of government has been to-
ward such a check"

I'VE may as well enter into this
discussion with the distinct under
standing that there is and can be no
such thing as perfect form of city
government. 50 long as ii has to be
administered 10 imperfect men.
NO matter what the form of city
government may be. its efficiency will
be determined very largely by those
entrusted with its administration. All
that any of us can hope to do is to ap-
proximate the ideal as near as possi-

very small majority, notwithstanding
the fact that the MuItnomah delegation
traded everything In sight and used The
big stick In clubbing reluctant members
into line In support Of the measure. SO
strongly was the fight made on both
sides that It was the means Of killing
several important measures and among
them the appropriation for the portage
road at the Dalles.
The decision announced by Justice
Bean justifies the position taken By the
legislative delegation from this county
and that of the county court for the
contention has been firmly adhered to
at all times here that the legislature
could not by special enactment create
private corporation.
Among the most active In support Of
the measure in the lobby were Ed
Wright Of the Morning Oregonian. the
alleged father Of the bill. who. it will be
rmembered, made trip to Europe re-
Gently upon the strength Of its passage.
The bill as passed abolished the pilotage
laws Of the state and placed the control
CT the towage and pilotage in the hands
Of commission Of five members three
Of whom were to be residents OF Multi
nomah county and OF the remaining two
members, one to be named from Clatsop
county and the other from Columbia
county. Another provision in the meas
ure gave the commission the power to
bond the district as provided for con
sisting Of Multnomah, Columbia and
Clatsop counties. to the extent oil sew
eral hundred thousands dollars and with
the funds raised from the sale Of bonds
the commission was empowered to pur-
chase tug boats, hire pilots, etc, and the
interest on these bonds was to be met
by a tax levied for the special purpose
in the counties named.
Representative John G. McCue who
led the fight against the bill, when
informed of the decision Of the Supreme
Court by an Astorian representative,
said:
Il am very much pleased with the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court in declar.
ing the law unconstitutional for 1t ius-
tifies the contention that we held and
the arguments that the Chtsop county
delegation put forth during the fight on
The measure. The fight was probably
the most intense of any during the ses-
non and Multnomah's great strength
IN numbers and the great commercial in
iuence which she rules throughout the
remote sections Of the state were suf-
tcient to compel many members to sup
port the bill who, if left to follow their
'wn inclinations, would have voted with
ne Clatsop county delegation. OF
curse the pilotage laws Of the state
will remain as heretofore" 4.

This County.
NOT BY A SPECIAL ACT
Judgment by Justice Bean is That the
Amendment to Constitution Elimi-
mated Creation Of Corporation For
Municipalities by Special Law.

| SALEM. Ore, Sept. 3.--In a decision
given out by Judge Eakin, OF the State
Supreme Court here today, the Port Oh
Columbia Bill, which was passed at the
last session Of the legislature, was de.
elared unconstitutional. The contention

which the Port of Columbia was sub

About two months ago Judge Cleland
sustained demurrer filed by the state
against Farrells complaint. Judge Gle.
land decided that the Port of Columbia

corporation. as contended by Farrell.
This overruling was appealed by Farrell,
and is the judgment reversed by Justice
Eakin.
fKA.
Chief Justice Bean made the Port Of
Columbia decision, deereeing the act un-
constitutional, because it is in violation
Of the recent amendment to the consti-
tuition, prohibiting the creation of
corporation by special act of the lesis-
lature. This opinion is given in the case
of Sylvester Farrell, plaintiff and appel
liant, vs.. the Port Of Columbia and its
board of commissioners, defendants and
respondents, appealed from the decision
of Judge John B. Cleland, OF the Cir.
ouit Court for Multnomah County.
by this amendment says Justice
Bean, after quoting the amendment to
he constitution referred to, "the power
o create corporation for municipal
purposes by special act was not only
but the creation of a cor
'oration by such an act is expressly
and it is no longer in the
