Text: and the remainder to read as prepared by the Attorney General. See Blitz v. Neuner, 194 Or 1, 240 P2d 1193; Allen v. Van Winkle, 136 Or 173, 298 P 241. 3. We have given due consideration to the ably-presented contention of the Attorney General that the statute under which this proceeding is brought is an unconstitutional attempt to confer powers other than judicial on this court. But, notwithstanding the persuasiveness of the argument, we are of the opinion that we should not at this late day overrule a long line of cases beginning with Davis v. Van Winkle, 130 Or 304, 278 P 91, 280 P 495, in which we have accepted the responsibility and discharged the duty imposed on us by the statute. Motion to dismiss denied, ballot title revised.
