hardly an objection worth urging in this
day Of rapid communication. The degree
of illiteracy among the population, Of Mex

larger than that in some Of the southern

recalling as it does the history of the pro-

Oklahoma and Indian territory each
have about the same number Of inhabi-
tants. and together had in the census of
1900, 100000 people. Here is certainly
ample population for one. il not two,
states. The character OF the Oklahoma
population is gratifyingly high. The large
number Of Indians about to become citi-
zens in Indian territory, and the fact that
the two territories together make one
state OF respectable area, fully justify the
provision for ultimate union OF the two.
1t is, however. unfair to, Oklahoma, if
not to the other territories, to postpone
admission until 1905. Oklahoma is en-
titled to immediate admission; it has won
that right by being far better prepared

at the time of it's admission.

The compromise as reported is that New
Mexico and Arizona shall be admitted in

the new state may become a separate

Home Rule the Best.

The Minneapolis Tribune has had a
series of editorials which seem to be aim
Ing at the general conclusion that the
home-rule city government is a myth. and
that cities without home-rule charters
have more genuine home rule than those
with it. A part of the argument seems
to have been based upon confusion as
to the home rule amendment to the con-
stitution and the amendment of 1892 for
bidding the legislature to pass certa in
kinds of special legislation. The difficulty
of getting relief from the legislature for
local troubles that require a legislative
enactment has been experienced ever since
1892; but very few thoughtful persons
would care to so back to the old evil sys-
TEN of special legislation.
The home -rule amendment authorized
legislation for certain classes Of cities
without reference to whether they have
home-rule charters or not. The legisla-
ture. for example, may pass general laws
relating to the affairs Of cities of over
$4,000, all cities over $4,000 having some
differences in their hon1e-rule charter
privileges from cities under that number.
But this does not mean that if such a
general law be passed to suit the require
rnents Of Duluth, say, it imposes any bur
den on Minneapolis. Such a law will al
ways be one designed to extend the limits
of possible home rule. No home-rule city
is forced to take advantage of it; its own
course is governed by the terms of its own
charter Instead of home rule having the
effect, so far as the principle is concerned
of entangling the cities of a class in con-
ditions which require appeals to the legis-
lature it is the one way Of escape from
such entanglements. Not less home rule
but more. is what is needed. The origina
enabling act was not perfect. and changes
must be made from time to time in the
direction of more home rule, Duluth now
thinks that it may want to take over a
l,rhting plant. and finds that 1t has nt

plants? That is q municipal matter which
cities should be left to determine for them

lighting plants would be a different mat
ter. That would be restriction OF home
rule. A liberal home rule act is really
a means of obtaining for municipalities
all of the advantages of special legisla-

legislature lays down certain broad gem
eral rules governing city OF a class. and
authorizes the people to do what they
please in the way of government within
those limitat tons. thus escaping that curse
