KEENE, Appellant, v. JACKSON COUNTY, Respondent.

Affirmed by Court of Appeals, 3 Or. App. 551, 474 P.2d 777 (1970).

O'CONNELL, C.J., dissenting.

I would grant the petition for review in this case. I am of the opinion that neither this court nor the legislature has the constitutional power to require an attorney to defend an indigent unless the attorney is reasonably compensated for his service. I shall not at this time set out the reasons which support this conclusion. See, however, the following references which lend support to my point of view. Johnson and Douglas v. Superior Court, 2 Ariz. App. 407, 409 P.2d 566 (1966), (but see State v. Superior Court, 2 Ariz. App. 466, 409 P.2d 750 (1966)); Hill v. Superior Court, 46 Cal.2d 169, 293 P.2d 10, 14 (1956) (dissenting opinion); People v. Randolph, 35 Ill.2d 24, 219 N.E.2d 337 (1966), noted 16 DePaul L Rev 499 (1967); Knox County Council v.
