ISSUE CALL To HELP UNIVERSITY
APPEAL DRAFTED BY STUDENTS HERE

Calling upon the people of Eastern
oregon to aid the state university at
ne special referendum election to be
held next month. the Eastern Oregon
students at the L. of o. drafted an ap-
peal, a copy OF which mas been sent
the East Oregonian for publication:
The S.1dent Appeal.
The Eastern oregon students at the
University of oregon. take this means
of expressing thrir regret that extern
sion of the University's facilities have
been delayed by the referendum.
We are in daily contact with condi-
ions at the university and realize
how difficult il is becoming to han
die the fast increasing student body
without a corresponding increase in
the facilities.
The university has had no new
building for seven years, and the las,
structure erected was a library. The
appropriations under the referendum
call for 100000 for a new admins
tration and class room building and
$4,000 to make extensions and re-
pairs to four other buildings. We
know this added room IS greatly need
cd. the attendance at the university
having doubled since the last new
building was put up
Deady Hall and Willard Hall, the
principal class room buildings now,
were built in 1876 and 1885, respect
lively.

COURT RULES HOWEVER THAT
THERE Is NO STATE LAW
AGAINST SELLING LIQUOR
WITHOUT LICENSE SAVE IN
THE COUNTRY.

BY an opinion handed down in the
circuit court today by Judge G. w.
Phelps the lawyers for the defendants
in the vice cases are overruled in
their contention that the home rule
amendment gives cities exclusive reg
ulaion of the liquor business. Judge
Phelps also ovrruled the defendant
lawyers on the point that the present
state law does not bar liquor selling
on Sunday save on the part of regu-
lar dealers but on the question of
whether or not those charged with
selling liquor without license may
be prosecuted by the state the judge
rules that there is at present no state
law covering such offences save where
the selling is done outside of any
regularly Incorporated city or town.

PORTLAND. Ore. Sept. 2s.--In
decision in the federal district court
by Judge Wolverton the initiative
freight rate bill passed by the people
November 5. 1912. is declared uncon-
stitutional and void.
The bill fixed an arbitrary classifi-
cation of railroad freight rates in re-
lation to which carload rates bear to
less than carload rates. The bill was
drawn in the interest of merchants Of
Medford, Ore.
The decision in no uncertain langu-
age condemns the initiative measure
as unconstitutional and highly in
congrous."
The suit against the measure was
the result of the filing of temporary
injunctions on the part of all the rail-
roads in the state. The judges OF the
federal court spent seven months con-
sidering the case.

RIGHT TO REGULATE LIQUOR SALES

AS a result of the opinion rendered
by Judge Phelps the trial of the local
vice cases is to proceed save where
parties are charged with selling with
out license 1t is understood the
case of Audrey Wilson is to be called
tomorrow morning for trial.
In passing on the question as to
whether the home rule amendment
takes regulatory power away from
the state Pudge Phelps said in part:
This amendment has been the
cause of much discussion and some
conflicting judicial opinions The
questions raised here has never be-
fore been decided by our courts so far
as am aware. and therefore there
are no precedents to follow. While
the amendment undoubtedly vests in
the cities and towns of the state an
exclusive power to "license. regulate,
control or to suppress or prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors therein" 4"

lWALLA WALLA SHOW
WILD WEST FAILURE
ATTENDANCE AND PERFORM
ANCE POOR AND LOSS IS
HEAVY FINANCIALLY.

Not only was the Nalla Walla wild
west show a failure from the stand
roint of attendance and performance
but it was also big loss financially.
This IS known. not from guess work
nut from careful information that has
been gathered by local people who
attended the show and were in posi-
tion to know just what the show cost
and what it produced in revenue. 1t
is generally computed that the show
lost money to the extent of $4,000,
though if the Walla Walla fair man
agement expended the money they
claimed they were spending their loss
is nearer $4,000.
Parties who are present all through
the Walla Walla show declare the paid
attendance was approximately $4,000
for the three days The first two days
saw 5000 people out each day and on
gram. Not only Walla Walla but
the whole country was flooded with
passes, so the admissions were far
from being all paid admissions.
No Outside People.
Walla Walla's keenest disappoint-
ment however. comes from the fact
the crowd at the show through the
three days was almost exclusively from
Walla walla and the immediate
country. There was almost no out
side people there and from a trans
portatiOn standpoint the show was a
negligible quantity. w. c Z. Pruitt.
who was in Walla waIIa all through
| the show and remained Saturday ev-
ening, declares that by o'clock Sat-
I deserted. 1t is asserted merchants
did less business during the wild west
show than they would have done un-
der normal conditions

by the HambWg-American line, went
out on strike Monday and they were
supplanted with non-union workers
The officials of the line, however, dc
not give credence to the theory that

between them and their former EN-

At least one man lost his life IN the
fire. He was Second Officer Herman

draughts were due to the failure, the
firemen say, of the officers of the shiT
