One Point Now in Question
Relates to Where Legal
Action Will be Undertaken.
UMATILLA COURT WOULD
BE BEST THINKS RITNER
Under Extreme Pressure East
Oregon Senators Stood
Pat Against Portlanders.

Senator Roy w. Ritner, pres
ident of the state senate, will
not sign the Portland fair mea-
sure unless required to do so
by court action. He announced
this position shortly after his
arrival home this morning and
notified Senator Gus Moser by
wire of his decision. Senator
Ritner takes the position that
the measures were not legally
passed by the senate and has a
written opinion from the attor-
ney general upholding the view
that 16 votes are required by
the constitution to pass a mea-
sure in the senate.

Suggests Umatilla Court

If the Portland fair boosters wish
TO try court action to force Senator
Ritner TO sign the measures they musS
do so within five days as the bills be-
come dead unless signed within that
time. A question now up is where
nandamus proceedings Will be started
II such action is determined upon. Mr..
RItner suggests it would be logical for
the Portianders to bring action In
tmatilla county. However the Mar
ion county court or the Portland court
might be used. Attorneys seem to pe
In the dark as to where the action Will
be started. The dispute over the num-
ber of votes needed to make n major.
tv arises out of the death of Senator
Hume.
Protected the Public
In an interview this morning Sena-
tor Ritner declared that one strong
reason actuating the II senators who
stood steadfast against the gasoline
tax for the Portland fair was that
those senators regard it as improper
tor such a subject to be passed upon
at the primary election Osuaiiy o"is
a one third vote is out for the primary
election and hence there would be bet"
ter opportunity to railroad a measure
through than there would be at the
special election in the fall where a
heavier vote is always cast. If Port
land wishes the people to vote on the
fair measure they have the opportun-
ity Of presenting the matter under in
itiative petition at the regular election
next November.
1t Is the general opinion that Port
land will proceed with exposition plans
even If the state refuses to bear so

done already that it will be difficult
