That tribunal held that the question
of whether 4 state still maintained q
republican form Of government guar
antced by the federal constitution
after it adopted the initiative and ref
erendum. was a problem for Congress
and not a judicial one for the courts.
The decision was based on the claim
Of the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph Company that tax upon
1t, imposed by the initiative and refer
endum method IN Oregon, was uncon.
stitutional. The initiative and refer
endum provisions in Missouri, Cali
forhia, Arkansas, Colorado. South Da-
kota, Utah, Montana, Oklahoma, Maine
and Arizona, hung in the balance.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision Of the court. None of the
justices disscnted. The court gave a
similar decision in fererence to an
