OREGON LAW REPUBLICAN
IN FORM SAYS BORAH

Senator w. e. Borah, Idaho's junior
representative in the United States
senate, and one of the greatest con-
stitutional lawyers in the senate, ac-
cording to the opinion of his col
leagues, declared this afternoon to a
representative of the Star Mirror that
he did not believe the supreme court
of the United States would uphold the
contention of the Pacific States Tel
egraph and Telephone company, that
the Oregon initiative and referendum
law was unconstitutional.
Said Senator Borah:
Il do not suppose l will be consid-
cred as seeking to influence the court
in expressing my views on matter
pending before it. My view is that
the initiative and referendum law now
pending for consideration before the
supreme court is constitutional The
clause of the constitution which
guarantees to every state republican
form of government rises the word
republican as contradistinguiShed
from monarchial or aristocratic. Any
form of government uses the word
government by the people was in the
minds of the fathers republican
form of government. In other words,
as Mr.. Cooley in his work on 'Constitu
tional Law says they nowhere un-
dertake in the constitution define a
republican form of government and
evidently expected that the states
would vary At the time the constitu-
ton was adopted, Rhode Island was
operating under a royal charter in
which the citizen was referred to as
a subject. On the other hand in
Pennsylvania, they had but one house
in the legislature, had no governor
but simply a commission. 1t is ap-
parent to my mind that the direct ma
king of laws by the people does not
violate the guarantee clause of the
constitution.

| think at about number ten-you will

legged victims of Mrs. Louise Vermila
who the police are watching while they
are investigating the peculiar passing
of her relatives and intimate assoc
iates.
The tenth is Mrs. Fred Vermila, the
wife of the suspected woman's son
who died of gastritis as the other nine
apparently did.
Surgeons say the symptoms OF
arsenical poisoning and gastritis are
often confused. Several of the dead
left insurance policies in Mrs Verm-
ila's favor.
From letters received by the police
and from separate Investigations, new
facts became known today in part as
follows:
That while Mrs Vermila has said
one of the members on the death ros-
ter, Richard T. Smith, a conductor,
was only a boarder at her home, a
former roomer asserts the two claim
ed previously to have been married
and that they lived together as hus-
band and wife.
That R. N. Burlington, a brother
in-law of Smith, had made love to
the widow so as to investigate suspi-
cions about the reason for his rela-
tives demise.
That Smith died during convulsions
and after drinking some substance,
but that the doctors gave the cause
of death from descriptions of the
symptoms given by the widow as
acute gastritis.
Bruington's story relating to con-
talks he had had with the wild
ow while f.was cossting her was ex-
pected to develop new interest. IN a
talk with the police inspector of Pc
oria he said Mrs. Vermila had had
periods Of mental depression in which
she was fond of talking of death and

An adverse decision would be a
severe blow to direct legislation. One
case hangs upon the enactment of a
law in Oregon, through the initiative,
which requires telephone and tele-
graph companies to pay tax of two
per cent upon their gross receipts. The
Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
company contests the legality of the
tax upon the ground that the law is
unconstitutional.

Japs May Take Hand.

Shanghai, Nov. BY firing on the
Japanese steamer Yuen Kiang, the
rebel battery at Hankow has probably
opened a field for Intervention by the
Japanese in the Chinese struggle.
The vessel was passing the batteries
flying the Japanese flag when the
rebels fired. Only few shots were
fred, but Japan may possibly seize
the opportunity to demand reparation
for the insult to the flag as it did in
the Tatsu Maiu incident, or may send
an army into the field ostensibly to
protect the Japanese subjects.
