DOCUMENT FILED AT SALEM
Amendment to the Local Option Law
to be Voted upon in the
June Election.
The Portland Municipal Associ­
ation and the Oregon Anti-Saloon
League joined their arguments
against the Reddy “ home rule”
amendment which is to be submit­
ted to the people in June, and filed
only one document in the office
of the Secretary of State. The
opjxmeuts of the amendment assert
that it is a saloon measure and had
its origin among those who are in­
tent upon exploiting the vices of
city life.
The amendment proposed is to
section 2 of article-11, of the con­
stitution, governing adoption of
city charters. It eliminates from
the section the provision that city
charters must lie subject to the con­
stitution and criminal laws of the
state and further provides that
cities shall have exclusive power
to license, regulate, control and tax
suppress or prohibit theaters, race
tracks, pool rooms, bowling alleys,
billiard halls and the sale of
liquors, subject to the local option
law.
petition for the enactment of the
amendment had its origin among
those who are intent upon exploit­
ing the vices of city life for their
own profit, and who care little or
nothing for the integrity of the
state and the moral welfare of its
citizens.
Therefore, we object for five
reasons:
1. It is a saloon measure in­
tended to entrench the saloon and
nullify the local option law.
2. It makes the cities principal­
ities, independent of the criminal
laws and police powers of the
county and state.
.3. It assumes for the city inde­
pendence from the county, yet does
not propose to provide for expense
of vice and crime to be borne by
cities alone.
4. Because cities and country
in counties are an indissoluble
whole, what effects one affects the
other.
5. This measure is a violent re­
version of the entire structure of
our government.
SPLENDID DISPLAY OF
COPPER AND GOLD ORE
I'. J . Hard has a fine display of
ores in his Kugene office taken
from his mining properties in the
Bohemia district. The samples are
very rich in gold and copper and
indicate the wealth that exists in
the Bohemia district. Mr. Hard
has done a great deal of develop
lnent work on these claims during
the six years he has been ojierat-
ing them, having a KHXl-fixit tun­
nel in each at a depth of looo feet.
Splendid bodies of ore have been
opened up at this depth. Besides
the main tunnels there are a num­
ber of feeders. This spring Mr.
Hard expects to start his ten
stamp mill at the - Vesuvius mine
and liegin the shipment of copper
ore to the smelter at Tacoma.
Some of the samples of copper ore

wolves aud coyotes do not seem to

to make destructive raids on the
farmers flocks.
Since the bounty on these wild
animals was abolished several
years ago, they have increased
very materially and have proven a
source of great annoyance to the
farmers, especially to those who
live near the mountains. Before
the Ixmnty was abolished many
mountaineers made a good living
by killing wolves, coyotes and
cougars, receiving $2.50 for each
scalp from the couutv.
The fact that the county has
agreed to re-establish the Ixmnty
