The foregoing proposed amendment la itirely suDerfluous.'- inasmuch as - all citlea ana towns in tne state or uregon do no enlovvthe dullest nosslble .home rule, having, absolute self-government tne rignt to maae ana amena tneir own charters and: enact their own laws, sub ject only to the constitution and the eneral -criminal laws of the state.

It, la clalmt'J by the advocates of the proposed amendment that It Is a step In the direction of "majority rule." This assertion Is fallacious. Law emanates from the supreme power In the state that Is, the people of the whole state and to permit the people of a munici pality to override lawa enacted by the people of tha whole state, or to aet at naught the moral sentiment of the peo ple of the state, would be the worst form of minority rule. Tke proposed amendment would un dermine the supremacy of the state. It would create an authority within mu nicipal bounds Independent of and doubt less In many, oases onnosed to the au thority or tne state, it is essentially vicious anu anarchistic in lta tendency. There can be no doubt tnal the petl tlon for the ' enactment of the proposed amendment had its origin among those who are intent upon exploiting the vicea of city life for their own profit, and who care luue or notning ror tne integrity of the state and the moral welfare of Its citixens. The people of Oregon cannot tolerate sucn tampering witn ner constitution, and the vote against thla measure should te so - overwhelming as t to dlscoura any future attempts in . the same rectlon. . ' Therefore , we . object . for five rea sons: 1. It la a saloon measure Intended to Intrench tha-saloon and nulllfythe local option law. ' 2. It makes 'the cities principalities Independent ' Of S the criminal lawa and police powers of the county and state. a. it assumes ror the citv indeDnnd enoe from the county, vet does not nro pose to provide for expense of vice and crime 'to be borne-by citlea alone. . 4.

The oldest settlement in the eaat end of Umatilla county waa made where Milton now stands, and for almoat 60 years settlers have been encroaching upon the arid lands of that section, us ing the waters of the Walla Walla and Tnmalura rivers for Irrigation and re claiming desert tracts from year to year. As the settlement grew the di vision of the water from small streams became more and more important aad each aettler held vigorously to his water right. Finally the entire valley is settled ana tne rights or the set tiers had become so widespread that the flour mill began ault to protect lta own rignts, wnion aeemea to be endan gered by the increasing population. In order to preserve Its alleged rights, the mill company made every settler on the Walla Walla and Tumalum rlvera a de fendant in the ault to restrain them from using water which the mill com pany claimed, ana tnus tne entire val ley, one oi tne most productive ana vultf ul In Oregon.
