invasion, or to build permanent roads
within the county, but debts for per-
manent roads shall be incurred only
on approval of majority of those
voting on the question"
Attorney Generals Report,
In his opinion the attorney general
finds as follows:
THE effect of this amendment
considered in connection with the or
iginal section is to remove the limi-
tation of $4,000 on the authority of
the counties to incur Indebtedness,
for the purpose of building perma-
nent roads within the county, but alSo
places the limitation upon indebted
ness incurred for this purpose, that
ii shall be incurred onl yon approval
OF a majority of those voting on the
question. The question submitted is
whether the county can car spe-
cial election to submit this question
Of incurring such additional indebt-
edness.
II find no provision either in the
constitution or eny of the statutes au-
thorizing a county to call a special
election for this purpose or for any
purpose excepting in certain cases
specifically provided for, as for the
purpose of submitting the question of
the creation of and maintenance of
county high schools. county high
school fund, etc.
Counties not berng municipal cor
porations in tho fullest sense of the
word but only SO far as they are SO
created by the constitution, they have
no power to legislate and cannot leg
! islate by the initiative under section
la of article " OF the constitution
even as a district because no provi-
| sion has been made by law for such
| legislation, and even if the statute in
! cluded counties, it is not entirely GER
/ tain that they would have that au'
! thority under the constitution as the
/ court has held that municipality
and district are synonymous, a
/ least to the extent that municipality
| is a district, but the question whether
I a county is included in that term MAJ
never been decided.
"In any event, the counties nave
not so far been invested with legisla
tive authority by way of the initiative
Having no such authority. they can
not initiate a bill authorizing th'
calling of special elections, and ther'
being no authority of law already ex
isting for such elections being called
in my opinion, county courts or tn
people of a county, cannot call a spe
cial election for the purpose OF vot
ing on the question of mourning ad
ditional Indebtedness for the purpos
of building permanent roads. TIL
vote required as a condition preceden
to the incurrng of such indebtedness
must, therefore, be taken in connec
ton with the general election"
The second question the attorne
general answers in the negative b
saying:
Answering this question I woul
refer you to the provision of the sec
ton of the constitution above quoted
and especially to the last clause, read
ing as follows: but debts for perma
nent roads shall be incurred only o

BUSINESS MEN
OWN SMALL FARMS
HERNuSTON CLAIMS UNIQUE
RECORD FOR HER CITIZENS
Majority of Those Engaged in Busi-
ness or Following Professions are
Owners of Real Estate.
Especial Correspondence.) }


Hermiston, Ore, March 25.-A fact
that many never have thought of is
that the majority of business and
professional men in this city own
real estate. 1t is doubtful if there is
any city in the Northwest where the
percentage of real estate owners am
.ong residents of this class is so large.
I've have here forty seven business
men, out OF a total of fifty-two, who
own real estate. In several instances
where there is more than one men,
Der of a firm, each owns a tract of
Land. Then there are those who are
employed as clerks who also own
property. In the reclamation service
too is to be found a goodly number of
land owners. People looking over
section, with a view to locating. al
ways want every indication that the
people already there have faith in
the place. One can talk week about
the future of a community, the value
b Of the land and all that, yet, If he
MAS no money invested and the home
seeker learns of this, the arguments
80 for little. In Hermiston, however,
there is no danger from this source.
Our business men are increasing their
stock by adding new lines and increas-
! ing those already in. Not only that
but they are backing up their word
by investing in property, either busi-
ness, residence or farm. This IS the
best possible evidence of what those
already here think of the place.
