Is to obtain practical nome ruie ior ji

The proposed amendment gives to the

to make such laws aa the majority of
the people of that-town wlah to make. ;
The majority should rule. No law, of

merely prevents ev ntfnority ruling. It
rives the majority thla power -which

The" negative arrument opposing the
measure is as follows: ', .
AtgnpieBj Aralssi.
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

power waa conferred bv an amendment

tion of 1908 and ' made ' effective by an
act or tne legislature or mm "Tor carry-Ina-

- 1"The, "effect- of this amendment.' If
adopted,' would be to divest sheriff a and
district -attorneys of the power-to sup
press poolrooms-and Sunday i saloons,
and give municipal authorities power to
run a town-as wide open taa they de-aire.-
The constitution - now provides
that cltv chartera rnuat be "subject to
the constitution, and criminal laws' of
the state - The .amendment proposed
leavea out".-. this Important-clause." ,
Morning Oregonlan, January 88, 190.
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. Because cities apd country In
counties . are an indissoluble whnl
wnat arrecta one affects the other.
6. ' Thla-Treasure Is a violent rever
sion or the entire structure of our aov

MILTON WATER SUIT
Four Hundred Settlers De
fending Eights Against
Elam Corporation.
(Special Dispatch ta The Journal.)
Pendleton, Or., April 2. There la
something more than cold-blooded liti
gation and a mercenary division of
water in the water right and Irrigation
ault now being heard at Milton, in
which Elam'a Peacock Flour Mill com
pany of that place baa made over 400
settlers In the valley of the Walla Walla
river defendants.
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. Is flghtlnr for a
right to Irrigate its arid lands which
have been converted from waste tracts
Into gardena, vlneyarda and orchards,
now valued at aeveral 'hundred dollars
per acre. The outcome of the ault and
the itnal division of tha water from the
two mountain streams Is being watched
In eastern Oregon with more than usual
Interest.

This road is a thing of th'e present. It is in
operation a part of its length. It is earning money. '
It penetrates a country of amazing productivity
and mineral wealth. It is the sole means of trans-
s portation. Its future is as certain as that of any
railroad enterprise in the Nation.
Of a total distance of 80 miles, 34 have betfn t
completed and in operation. Tourist travel has
been attracted and the promise of great freight,
traffic is startling. The balance of construction ;
is going ahead rapidly. A short time will see this
remarkable line the most popular in California.
The real estate owned by this company is val
ued at $2,000,000. Over $4,500,000 has been spent
in construction work. The capital stock is $5,000,
000, fully paid up. San Francisco is wide awake
to the profitability of the investment and its people
are buying bonds eagerly every day.
The par value of these bonds is $100. Within a ;
few months they will be worth far more. Interest ,
at the rate of 5 per cent is guaranteed. At the
present sale prices, "$92 for cash and $96 on time,
they earn 52 and 5.21 per cent respectively. The
wealthiest people of California have bought
heavily.

month. Many people buy
a bond each month. ' .
If bought for 'cash at the
