County Home Rule Charier Top!c
For Republican Women's Session
A home rule charter fori
Jackson county should be "a
simple and broad instrument
which will keep strictly with
in the perimeter of state re
quirements and still integrate,
without conflict, the rights
and privileges of all residents
of the county whether they
live within or outside incor
porated areas."
The speaker was McLeod
Maurice, Gold Hill, who with
Mrs. Thomas Rutter, talked
Monday noon for the Medford
unit of the Oregon Federa
tion of Women's Republican
clubs at the March luncheon
meeting, held at North's
Chuck Wagon.
Mrs. Rutter is chairman
and Mr. Maurice a member of
a committee appointed to
study home rule and make
recommendations' The nine
member committee, with
eight in attendance, voted six
to two last week to draft a
home rule charter and submit
it to the voters of the county
at the next primary election.
Mrs. Rutter, main speaker
for yesterday's meeting, opep
ed her talk by pointing out
that county government was
organized 100 years ago as
"an arm of state government"
when Oregon was largely
rural, and that the structure
Is now outmoded because of
the radical changes which
have taken place throughout
the years. She said that home
rule would "return to the
county power to make its
own decisions" adding that

this power would not include
judicial functions
The committee chairman
emphasized that the group
had not voted on possible
forms of county government
under home rule, but had vot
ed to attempt to write a char
ter as a first step in the right
direction.
Will Hold Hearings
She said that after drafting
the document, a series of hear
ings would be held in order
that citizens might express
their opinions, and revisions
made if needed. The commit
tee will be aided by the Bu-
reau of Municipal Research in
Oregon in drafting the char
ter. She named the committee,
giving brief backgrounds, to
indicate the varied view
points" represented. Memuers
are Earl B. Day, former coun
ty judge; Maurice McLeod,
retired executive of General
Motors; Eugene Ricker, retir
ed Veterans Administration
official; William Jess, Sams
Valley farmer; W- E. Davies,
Eagle Point farmer; Gerald
Werner, retired banker living
in Ashland; Frank Farrell, at
torney; P. G. Humphreys, en
gineer for The California-
Oregon Power company.
Mrs. Rutter outlined some
of the reasons advanced by
committee members favoring
home rule. These include the
fact that under the present
system, no requirements are
set up for those holding coun
ty office; that -there is loo

mucn state control, that no
meetings of the court and
other officials are held and
that control is exerc'scd by
the members of the court
through budgets; that thers
is too much "fragmentation"
and too little centralization:
that a smaller number of of
ficials might be possible; that
a centralized purchasing svs
tern could be employed.
The chairman also pointed
out that under the present
system, the county would he
less prepared to take 'emerg
ency action should the time
come when the O and C mon
ies, which now pay for eoun
ty government, would fail to
meet these costs.
Authority Needed
More authority and respon
sibility are needed in county
government in the opinion of
the majority of the commit
tee, according to Mrs. Rutter.
She said that Mr- Rickcn and
Mr. Wenner had been the dis
senting voters, Mr. Ricken be
lieving that the county court
should institute such changes
as could be brought about
under the existing system, and
that Mr. Wenner believed it
would be well nigh impos
sible to bring about the need
ed changes by vote of the
county residents.
Mrs. Rutter stressed that
adopting a county charter
would in no way commit the
county to the county mana
ger system, which she said
many voters dislike. She said
that the charter would out
line such matters as represen
tation, administration, fiscal
responsibility and an em
ployee system.
Mr. Maurice stressed that
under Oregon laws, special
legislation was enacted for
Portland and Multnomah
county and then made avail
able to all other counties
when and if each one reached
the same population level as
the metropolitan nrea at the
time it was enacted. Thus
Lane county, having recently
reached 150,000 level, finds
automatically available to it
laws and powers enacted for
Portland and Multnomah
county in 1915-
Indicating that this is a poor
situation, Mr. Maurice said
that the 19G0 census gavel
Jackson county a population
of 73,000 persons, of which
40,900 live In the 10 incor
porated municipalities, leav
ing 33,000 outsiders "who
can't exercise any portion of
the rights to which residents
of the smallest Incorporated
municipality are entitled.
Ho continued by saying "To
my mind, the value or our
voting is impaired if we can
not vote to settle matters of
concern to the county, as well
as city, state and national af
fairs." He pointed out, how
ever, that a county charter
could not relievo the court of
the responsibility of fulfilling
and enforcing existing and fu
ture general laws enacted by
the state legislature.
Mis. E. A. Littrell, club
president, presided and Mrs.
Edward Sickcls introduced
the speakers. Mrs. Littrell re
ported on a meeting of Repub
lican women held in Salem
last week, and announced an
informal reception for Con
gressman and Mrs. Edwin
Dtirno March 31 when the two
will be in the county.
