The IcppiuM Gazette KbtpMiKh"' Marc' i 30. IN-:!. ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. riA'-LW. r.wt.i .Five I Warnock Kucerod at the 1'ontotnoe m Hoppnor Oregon, as second-class matter. Thursday Doc. S, 190-i vx roniTsiATu cox ui tioxs. Heretofore, that if, with'n a few months ago, the business iuterests of Heppner have been in harmony in a way that ere adm rable which added greatly to the founda tion of the etateuaent that tlepp ner wa9 one of the best towns in the state of Oregon. For this we were justly proud. But, in the course of human events, new com plications have appeared that have caused too much bid. feeling and strife for the good of this commun ity. On every public question the Gazette has been free to ex press honest opinions. Today, this town is confronted with a condition that is the cause of much turmoil and agitation, caused by a recent order of the sheriff of Morrow county, in which ho says that there must im mediately within one week's notice be a radical change, au entire re construction of former conditions that have existed at all times dar ing the history of t:ns county. With all respect to such a good and efficient officer as Sheriff Shutt, the Gazette is of the opin ion that the leoent order as pro mulgated bv the sheriff is too sweeping and radical to be put in to effect or to bring the desired re sults. In mnking this order Mr. Shutt consulted no one. He iguored the city council, the District At torney and all associated author ity, but nt the meeting of the council Monday evening he ap pears, and asks this body to back him up. Judge Galloway, in the circuit court of Marion county, recently decided that tha city authorities have full jurisdiction in regulating all affairs of city government for the reason that they were dele gated this authority by act of the legislature when the charteis wore granted. This decision ti be pnssed upon by the supreme c.urt, and until this is decided, the re spousihilitv rests up-ju tlie iui-m bers of the city council. At the meeting of the council Monday evening, only three mem bers out of the six wero present, and to take decided actiou upon the impulse of the moment with out a valid oidinauce to back them up, the question was put asid 1 for more careful investigation, Hud an ordinance was oidered drawn for a foundation upon which the council could act. The writer of this article &s a member of the city council be lieves in careful and conservative action for the best interests of the town. That reforms and change? in the city of Heppner are needed there is no question. "We must have firm, conserva tive and decisive action in the af fairs of city government. Gamb ling, so far as possible, should be abolished. The selling of liquor to habitual drunkards and to minors should be stopped. Let the city council quietly and firmly so inform the saloon men. If these rules are violated, for tin j first offense revoke the license of j the man who violates the order. I We are not living in Kansas, j We cannot do everything with a summersault. Don't, punish the man who is trying to do light, but instead of fines and arrests, strike at the root by shutting off the license of the man who will not conduct an orderly place. i 1 I GIFTS s riffm ia,iM iiiawii J! mwji FA H !
