Of county division Such move under present conditions
would be absurd However the question has been raised
through resolution passed by the commercial organization at

However the legislature at all times has the privilege of
peang amending this law The next legislature could if it
wished amend repeal this law and create any county
saw fit to create if the East Oegonan understands the law
correctly The obstacles in the path of such would
be possible gubeaoria veto the referring of the matter
