Califoruie Tourist Cars.

The idea that an inferior class Of peo-

BY no means necessary for the traveller
to spend large sum Of money IN order
to enjoy trip to the Pacific Coast.

WOULD DESTROY HOME RULE
County Option l. Radically Different
from Nebraska Local Option.

County Option 10 Radically Different
from Nebraska Local Option.
There is a great difference between
local option as defined by the Nebras-
ka law, and county option as defined
by the Anti-SalOOn league. Local Op-
ton guarantees home rule and pre-.
vents outsiders from debating to
tOwnsmen as to what policy they shall
pursue. On the contrary, county Op'
ton would give to voters In country
precincts and in villages the right to
say what another town must do In re-
spect to regulating or abolishing the
liquor traffic. County option would
destroy the principle of home rule.
whereas local option sustains that
principle. The one is antagonistic to
the other.
For instance, say that the taxpayers
of q town had voted for license while
other towns in a county had voted
themselves dry. the policy of county
option, if adopted by the legislature,
would enable the voters of the dry
towns and country precincts to. COM
bine and force the wet town dry. In
other words, outsiders could ran a
town regardless Of the will Of the resi-
dent taxpayers. The state would of
course retain the power to tax the
property of townsmen while at the
same time depriving them of the right
to control the policy of the town gov.
eminent which they are taxed to main
tain. Voters outside the limits Of the
town, whether they be taxpayers or
not, would, under county option. have
the right to vote upon question con-
corning only the people Of the town.
which would be radically unjust. de-
structive Of the principle Of home rule
and wholly unamerican.
There II no argument that can b
offered in support of county option
which cannot be met and overcome by
those in defense of the right of a COM
munity to manage its own affairs.
