The parlor match is doomed, if a
bill introduced by Representative
Mann of Illinois, becomes law.
This refers to the striking, fire.
building brand of parlor match. The
bill prohibits the transportation of
white or yellow phosphorus matches
under penalty of a fine of $1,000,
and also provides that any manu-
facturer may procure from the cir
cult court a writ compelling the
owner of patent rights of other pro-
cesses to grant a license to the man
ufacturer at reasonable rate. This
latter clause is designed to prevent
any concern from obtaining a mo-
nopoly of other processes. Recent
Investigations have shown that the
use of phosphorus in the manufac-
ture of matches is attended with
such danger to the health of the
employees, that President Taft urg-
ed in his message legislation look
ing toward the abolition of present
conditions.

R. F. Kinyon, of Newton, Ia, is
in bad with the Postoffice Depart
ment and is the subject of fraud
order. Mr.. Kinyon is charged with
operating an up-to-date variation of
an old skin game. His newspaper
advertisements offered to let the
reader in on a great money making
scheme if he would send four cents.
Upon receipt of the four cents,
Kinyon is alleged TO have returned
a circular stating the advantages of
a fireless cooker and for particulars
the come-on was urged to send %
cents, in return for which he would
be told how to make money by ad-
vertising the cooker. If the good
thing came across with his quarter,
he was then informed that the ne
cessary drawings and literature
would cost $3.50 more. Thus Kin
yon is said to have established a
cumulative income from the gullible.
In addition to his other troubles,
Kinyon is charged with having abus-
ed a post office Inspector through
25 pages of a letter.

WILL START WEST
UMAT|LLA PROJECT

That construction on the West
Umatilla project will begin this year
is the assurance given by Director
Newell today, says a special to the
Journal from Washington. Secretary
Ballinger had asked him to report on
the feasibility of the west unit. New
ell already had data that enabled him
to report, which he did at once, and
Ballinger instructed Newell to pro-
ceed with the enterprise. Newell i'm
mediately gave the orders and prep
arations are already under way.
An erroneous impression has been
created that the final surveys on that
unit have been made. There has
been an adequate reconnaissance,
which justified the reclamation
service in recommending the west unit
! as feasible and desirable, but the fl
nal working surveys had not been
made up, nor had rights of way been
secured.
Such work will now be pushed with
vigor and as rapidly as possible, Sc
i that Newell is certain actual con-
struction will be under way in the
coming summer.
| The securing of rights of way viii
determine largely the speed the ser.
vice can attain in getting gangs OF
workmen upon the ground, but the
! hearty cooperation of persons inter.
ested in the northern part Of Umatills
| county, which is assured, will haster
| the work.
At first s2eo, 900 will be available tC
inaugurate these works of preparation
! to complete surveys and to secure
rights of way.
The money for the west unit will
come from the regular reclamation
fund, which bears no interest, making
it more desirable than money from
the certificates of Indebtedness fund
which bears 3 per cent. The tota
amount to be expended will be from
SLIPS 600 to s1,250.00o. and perhaps
| more.
The situation is apparently about a!
good as could be expeced, and it Il
difficult to see how the project can b'
hindered by any objections that nigh
be raised. The reclamation service
instead of being prejudiced agaiDs
the Umatilla project, is partial to it
and regards it as the best one yet TN
dertaken by the government.

there were so many requests for SIM
liar opinions the first few days after
election and 1t would be practically
a physical impossibility TO have re-
sponded at great length to every one.
AS far as cities contemplating hold
ing special city elections called for
the special purpose of voting on the
wet" and dry" question, the Attor-
ney General would advise that such
elections be held at the time of the
regular election to make certain that
the result will hold as valid and
good. To cities that have held such
elections, he advises recourse to the
courts for definite settlement, but al
the same time gives it as his opinion
that such elections are invalid.

EXTRA ELECTIONS
PUZZLE CITIES
HOME RULE QUESTION
UP IN NOVEMBER
Attorney General Holds That Councils
Cannot Ask Vote Until Next No.
vember-Misinterprctation of Early
Decisions Cause Tangle.

Salem. ore, Jan. 17-"My conclu-
sion in respect to the Home Rule
Amendment and the time of voting
under it is finally expressed in my
opinion sent to T. ]. Anderson, Re-
corder of Harrisburg, in which l say
that the city council is not author
tied to call a special election on that
question until the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November, 1911,
but may hold such election in connec-
ton with any regular city election
before that time said Attorney Gen.
eral Crawford. His attention had
been called to the fact that some cit
les and towns in the state had evil
dently either misinterpreted prior
opinions on this question or had found
inconsistencies in them.
IF there have been special elec-
tions held in cities under the amend
ment, l would express it as my opin-
ion that they are not valid and viii
not stand, but what the courts would
do in reference TO these elections, Of
course. 1 am unable to say. l have
advised in some instances that j
would be more expeditions and satfs-
factory to the cities concerned il
they would take their case into the
courts Immediately and determine
once for all the course to pursue

Opinion Not Clear.


Perhaps in some of the early op-
inions given from the attorney gen.
erals office shortly after election, l
was not as explicit on the point in
yolved as 1 might have been. In these
opinions there being so many of them.
I devoted my attention exclusively to
answering the specific questions
asked, and it is barely possible that
the intent of these opinions was not
fully clear to those who were recipi-
ents of them.
MY contention is simply this: That
the last clause of the Home Rule
Amendment requires that the amend
ment is subject to the local option
law and as result it would be plain
" the natural inference that elections
held under the amendment would be
held at the same time as the elections
provided for in that Law.
When l say that cities may call a
special election on the question OF
wet or dry" in conjunction with a
regular city election, possibly l an
stretching a point to some extent, bu
Il seems plausible that it was intended
under the amendment, inasmuch a!
the amendment refers to control Of
the sale of liquor in cities and towns
that regular elections would includ
regular city elections. In the loca
option law provision is made for vot
ing at regular elections, which, o
course, would be regular state elec
tions. 1 think that the point is plair
that the elections under the Home
Rule Amendment are subject to thi
local option law.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-01-18

Liquor Control is Aim.
THE Interpretation that the Home
Rule Amendment may extend to regu-
lar city elections is not positively
certain in my mind, but l am Of the
opinion that the courts would be in
clined TO sustain a liberal view of the
subject and not construe its provi-
sions strictly on this point, because
il is apparent that the whole amend
ment is intended to deal with the con-
troll of liquor in cities and towns.
"As | understand il, Grants Pass
has the question up as to whether
city election there, called especially
70 pass on the sale of liquor, Is valid,
and l have advised them 10 take the
case into the courts as being probably
the only satisfactory manner of set
Ting the dispute. AS there are no
precedents covering the amendment
opinions expressed as to its provisions
are given to a certain extent in the
dark as to what construction the
courts might lay down in this con-
nectiOn."
In some of the opinions it is evil
dent how a misinterpretation may
have been placed on the language
used in the opinions sent from tbs
office. For instance, an opinion writ
ten for the county clerk OF Hood Riv'
er county SAYS that a special election
may be called Eat any time" Th'
Attorney-Ge eneral explains this by say
ing It was meant at any time subjec
