MILLER HAS T|EO

Initiative Legislation Impossible I'm
der Home Rule Bill as Passed
Through Detroiter's Efforts.

1.-The Miller amendment to the home
rule bill, making it necessary to Be
cure the signatures of 25 per cent OF
the registered voters to initiate leg
islation, renders the initiative prac
tically imperative and tends to de
.stroy its purpose" said Corporation
Counsel Hally, author OF the original
bill and who also framed the amend
ments recently submitted TO the leg
islature. "a
Mrs Hally pointed gut that, under
the Miller amendmeHt, Ii would be
necessary to secure the signatures OF
one-fourth of 10000 voters, for that is
the number now on the registration
books, whereas, under his own draft,
one-fourth of 1000 would have been
sufficient, that being the number OF

ton. ~
The amendment also provides that
the signatures must be obtained by
the election boards in the various
booths on election or registration day,
which, he says, would be a most
cumbersome process and lead TO end
less confusion. 1t would also oper.
ate to defeat the petition in question,
for ne election boards would have
neither the time nor tho inclination
to bother with the details In addition
to their other duties and registrars
and inspectors. In other words. the
Miller amendment practically kills the
initiative, Mr.. Hally says.
With reference to his opinion as TO
the 2 per cent tax Limitation, which
has created such wide discussion
among the politicians and has caused
some OF the department heads to
seek legal advice on the proposition
from other lawyers, Mr.. Hally said
that the home rule law does not def
nitely fix the limit of taxation at 2
per cent of the assessed valuation.
In his opinion. however, this was the
clear intent of the legislature and he
believes that any court would take
the same view OF the proposition
This being true, IL would be unsafe
for the city to exceed that limit, he
said. Ii would be inviting a choice
aggregation of law suits, citizens
would In many cases refuse to pay
their taxes on the ground that the
levy was illegal and the city's bonds
would be pnmarketable E~cause OF
the cloud resting on them. The only
safe course open to the board OF esti-
mates, Hally declared, is to see to IL
that the appropriations are kept we'll
