OREGON CITY
OREGON
NEW CITY CHARTER
READY TO SUBMIT
SPECIAL SESSION OF COUNCIL
MONDAY NIGHT TO ACT
UPON IT.
The Charter Commute, composed
of Mayor, Recorder, members Coun
cil and ten eltl.ena, met limt evening
at the Council chamber to hear a re
port from the suheommltte, which
has had the principal work of prepar
ing n new charter In hand. The com
mute of the whole, after hearing the
report, accepted the new charter In
practically the shape It was reported
by the commute. A special meeting
of Council will be held Monday even
ing to hear tho new charter rend and
ratify It, If It Is acceptable, and pass
the proper legislation placing It be
fore the people for acceptance or re
jection at tho next election.
Tho principal changes recommend
ed In tho charter are these:
1. Election of Councllmen every
two years Instead of three, as at
present. By tho new plan each ward
will choose two, to serve two years
each, and there will be then three
Councllmen In the city to elect at
large, these men to serve one year
ench. Instead of electing three Coun
cllmen each year, to serve three years
each, we will then elect three to serve
two years snd three at large to serve
one year, a majority coming before
the people for election each year.
2. Dividing of the city Into street
Improvement districts Improve
meuts within these districts will be
charged against all the property In
the district, and not against shutting
property. Many Improvements are of
as much value to all the people of a
given section of the city as to the
property In front of which they are
made. At present abutting property
holders must hear one-third the cost
even If the Improvement Is detriment
al to their property. By this new plan
one will be taxed only his proportion
ate share.
3. City may build or acquire pub
lic utilities, such as public wharfs,
halls, railways, gas plants, etc., so
as to have them under municipal con
trol. 4, City required to bond Its present
Hosting debt at low rate of Intercut
and !hen It may not contract debts In
excess of Its appropriations, and such
debts shall not Iki legal: first of year
funds assessed must be appropriated
Into several funds for several forms
of work, and then Council must make
Improvements to only such amounts.
As Council Is a part of the general
committee, and had Its hand In the
work of formualtlng the new charter,
It Is believed that the new charter
will be ordered presented to tho pub
lic for acceptance with very few
changes from those that the commit
tee will recommend at the meeting
Monday evening.
HIGHLAND.
It Is said "All beginnings are hard"
so tho new school district, recently
cut from the old Is encountering a
tempestuous sea on Its new voyage.
There Is talk of returning to the
smooth and calm sea of the old dis
trict; also of an Injunction on the
school funds, etc. The County School
Superintendent will make a personal
examination of the condition and af
fairs of Isith new and old districts,
and after careful consideration ar
rive at a conclusion, probably.
The new district has elected Its of
ficers, (and good ones, too) has levied
a tax, has leased the M. E. church for
the present and will start on Its In
structing career In the near future.
Wo must state In this connection
that selfishness on tho part of some
Individuals Is at the iKittom of this
difficulty; If some people can't have
a school house right under the nose
they won't have any at all,
Highland School District No. 33
commenced school this week with
Miss Klma Blnhrn at tho helm.
Theso school operations bring us to
the subject of changing text-books
again. It beats all how the people,
like dumb-driven cattle, will bow and
submit to the galling yoke of the book
trust. And It beats all how our legis
lators, tho people's protectors and
champions, allow honesf, helpless and
confiding people to bo duped,
In our humble Judgment nearly

,The writer remembers very distinct
Ally how ho used the school books that
? other and older members of the same
family had used previously and learn
ed to read a common newspaper, too,
while with these wonderful new books
space forbids to sny very much.
In this matter of changing text
books, humoring a text-book commis
sion, and feeding, nn Insatiate book
trust, we fool like Patrick Henry of
Revolutionary fame, "We enre not.
what others do," but we are decldoly
in favor, of retaining; our old text
books, and' letting the trust retain Its
new ones, This process of bleeding
the people has been In operation lonir
'enough.
