HEAR ARGUMENT N
REFERENDUM CASE
Examination Has Disclosed
Frauds to Justify Suit
to Enjoin.
(National News Association)

(National News Association)
SALEM, Ore. March 14-Arguments
were heard today before the State su.
preme court in the University of Ore
gon referendum Casa case which in
wolves alleged frauds under the refer
endum phase of the Oregon system"
Before the law appropriating $503, 900
for building and extensions of the Uni
versity of Oregon at Eugene went into
effect, petitions asking a referendum
on the bills were filed with the Secre-
tary of State. Examination of the peti.
tons by friends of the University is
said to have disclosed frauds and ir-
regularities sufficient to justify a suit
to enjoin the secretary of state from
putting the question on the ballot for
next November.
Evidence introduced in the trial of
the injunction suit in the circuit court
indicated that the greater part of the
$4,000 names on the petitions were Sc
cured by paid circulators at a few
cents per name, and that in the case
of seven circulators gross frauds were
charged.
W. 1I6to Vi uduuco WclC SCCulCu, IL
Is alleged, by hanging the petitions
in a saloon in Astoria, and another list
OF 100 names from The Dalles is said
to have contained the names of men
dead for years. Evidence was so con-
elusive that the defenders of the petit
tions had to admit that 3778 names
were fraudulent, being forged and in
addition some 1926 names were pre-
sented in a form declared void by a
previous decision of the State supreme
court.
Elimination of those names brought
the number of unattached names be-
low the limit required to call a refer
endum. The Secretary of State, how
ever, contends through counsel that a
part of the 1926 names should be con-
sidered good-enough of these being
claimed to insure the referendum.
The University won its case in the
circuit court, the judge scoring the
fraudulent means used In securing
many Of the signatures. In the briei
filed on appeal. the University con.
tends that even the names unassailed
by direct evidence should be looked
upon with suspicion because of frauds
admitted on the remainder of the peti
ton.
The final decision in the case is aw.
| aited with keen interest by both the
friends and opponents of the Oregon
system of popular government. Among
the notable outsiders who have mani
tested an interest in the proceedings
are Governor Harmon of Ohio, Cover
nor Wilson of New Jersey, and Rt
Hon. James Bryce, British ambassador
at Washington and author of "The
American Commonwealth" From each
of the three men named have come
requests for copies of the brief fled
| in the case.

north side was. represented at the
boards meeting by Attorney Henry U
johnson, who strenuously objected te
any widening of the street, saying tina,
sixty.foot street, such as it is now
is all right and should not be changed
In any manner.
Other property owners stated thai
they believed only ten feet should be
added to the street from the north
side and that none should be addet
to the south side property. In this ev
ent the street would not be made ev
en- with Main street east Of Fifth. but
1t would be Of the same width, which
is seventy feet.
Some property owners believe thai
the street should not be paved with
brick, these favoring macadam, while
some are heartily in favor of paving.
