HOME MANUFACTURED COINS
CIRCULATE IN BAKER CITY

Baker City in eastern Oregon Is
nothing II not original. When cur
rency becomes somewhat scarce in
other parts of the country, the whole
thing was treated as huge joke by
the business men OF that section of
the state. The banks went right
along paying out real money" to
their deposltors as II a scarcity OF

N not "oh ho!" Az least that is the
way the average Bakerite puts the
case now that the rest OF the state
has caught It's breath and things
financial are again In a normal con-
dltion
A week or two after the squeeze
was In full blast two or three Baker
City people conceived the idea of Is
suing gold currency" on their own
hook and evolved a plan OF manu-
factIring two ounce slugs or but
tons. OF native gold which OF course
could not bear the stamp of the gov
ernment but would be worth their
weight Just the same. Fred Mellis,
a mine owner, and James Howard,
an ex-banker az Sumpter. are said TO
be responsible for the design used on
these slugs, a number OF which werA
hammered out OF pure gold and
which weighed somewhere near two
ounces. The effect of having these
slugs passed around Baker City had
a good effect on the people, for the
natural inference was produced that

WANTS LOCAL
HOME RULE

DR.. j. F. Reddy, mayor of Med
lord, has filed with the secretary oi
state an initiative petition for ar
amendment TO the constitution Rivinp
home rule to cities and towns and
relieving them from the operation
OF the local option law.
amends Sec. 2, Art. XI. to read
corporations may be framed un-
uer general laws but shall not be
created by the legislative assembly
by special laws. The legislature as.
semoly shall not enact, amend or re-
peal any charter, or act of incorpora-
ton OF any municipality. city or
town. The legal voters OF every city
and town are hereby granted power
to enact and amend their municipal
charters, and the exclusive power
to license, regulate, control and tax.
or to suppress or prohibit theaters,
race tracks, pool rooms, bowling
alleys, billiard halls, and the sale OF
liquors subject to the provisions of
the local option law OF the state of
Oregon within the corporate limits
OF any municipality. is vested in such
municipality"
DIR. Reddy submitted the following
argument for his measure:
THE purpose of this amendment
Is to obtain practical home rule for
all cities and towns in Oregon.
Laws which may be necessary
and wise for seaport, may not be
advisable and good for an inland
town.
"The proposed amendment gives
to the voters OF each city In Oregon
the right to regulate their own local
affairs and to make such laws as the
majority OF the people of that town
wish to make.
THE majority should rule. No
law can be passed, of course. except
by majority. and the proposed
amendment merely prevents n minor
ity ruling. IL gives the majority
this power which they certainly
should have.
1t does not seem fair that people
living In eastern Oregon should vote
as to what regulations should be ap-
piled to the local affairs OF a city I'm
the Willamette valley, nor on the
other hand should the people OF the
Willamette valley govern the local
AFFAIRS OF cities In eastern Oregon.
II Is impossible to make any law
which Will be equally suitable for
all towns and the proposed amend
ment gives the taxpayers and voters
OF each town the right 20 govern
their own local affairs within the
city boundaries.
THE proposed amendment is home
rule for cities. Persons who have
somo pet measure or policy which
they are afraid to submit TO a vote
OF the people will oppose this amend
ment. IL can be opposed only by
those persons who are afraid to abide
by the rule OF the majority OF the
people.
"Ail others should support It,"
