Big Boom.

Washington, March 2S-Ameriean cx-
ports are booming and now average

year while now, commerce figures show,
exports are leaving American ports at
the rate of $7,500,OO0,0OO annually.
They averaged $2l 100000 daily during
February. Plans are near completion
for the cooperation Of all government
departments in fighting organization
to back up American exports in their
to keep American trade aheae.
Fortified with a doubled appropria.
tion, the commerce department IS organ
izing world trade advisory group Of so
experts. This is in addition to the army
of American consular Officers, scattered
over the world.
The war finance corporation Is plan
ming to give financial support on a big
scale to individual exporters and firms
To collate activities of all depart
ments a national foreign trade advisory
committee is being organized, inciuding
representatives Of all departments.
Where necessary, measures have al
ready been taken to draw the teeth Of
the long heralded German under-selling
campaign scheduled to be0in with the

Makes Analysis

He dayotes considerable space to a
minute analysis of the distinction be-
tween the legislative meaning of the
words claw. - "aet, " statute" or
measure" and n mere resolution such
as was brought before him, stating;
"Tt appears from the above that
the referendum may be ordered upon
BILLS or laws. 1t will be observed
that the word resolution nowhere ap-
pears in the constitution or in the
statute relating to the initiative and
referendum. 1t is manifest to my mind
that the power of referendum is in
tended to apply only to the law max
ing power cf the legislature, and any
attempt to refer under the provisions
Of the initiative and referendum laws
constitutional and statutory, the reso-
luton transmitted is contrary to the
law in such ease made and provided.
The legislative declaration that is
sought TO be referred is not law nor
an act under the name Of resolution,

luton ratifying the 18th amendment

not subject to the referendum. =

ATTORNEY. GENERAL
BROWN DECLINES TO
MAKE BALLOT TITLE
EXPLAINS Difference In Mean
ing Of Resolution, Bill, Or
Proposed Act Or Law.

Some days ago reference was made
in these columns to an effort on the
part OF Portland interests hostile to
the prohibition law, TO secure by petit
tion the referendum on a joint reso-
luton passed by the last legislature
ratifying the national prohibition
amendment. At that time the opinion
was expressed that the petition would
have 20 be turned Down on the ground
that the referendum could not be in
vOked on a mere resolution. In order,
however, to make the matter absolute
ly clear and beyond question, it was
submitted to Attorney General Brown,
who, after making most thorough in
vestigation of its constitutional bear
ings, has presented voluminous opin-
ion showing that under the general
election laws it would be impossible
for him to write ballot title for such
a petition.
Act in Question
The act in question IS resolution No.
4, which ,reads in the fist section:
Z "RosoE ed, by the legislative as
semhly of Oregon, that the proposed
amendment to the constitution Of the
United States of America be and Che
same hereby is ratified by the lcgisla-
tive assembly of the s,atc Of Orc
gon.
The attorney general goes on to quote
at length from section S475 of the
amended general laws Of Oregon, and
several othcr paragraphs, showing that
it was the distinct purpose of the
amended law to provide for the refer
endum on bill. or measure, or pro
posed act or law. The attorney goes
on to state:
"'lmpclled to keep within the limi-
,ations Of the law, it is my duty as
the attorney general of this state, to
decline to prepare ballot title for
the petition you have transmitted to
this office. The law specifically de-
fines my authority duties and pow
ers in the premises. Nowhere under the
statutes or under the constitution am
| directed or have | the authority to
prepare Il ballot title for a resolu-
tion.
