A. L. Smoke, who with

not even excepting Hood River
His letter follows:
This country has got the
Emmett country beat for
market. The farmers can sell
everything they raise. Butter
is 45 cents a pound and eggs
50 to As cents per dozen But
for fruit the Emmett coun-
tr.; has them all be at. The
apples on sale in Portland

Emmett's third class. Their
fruit has no flavor. The Dali

but absolutely lacking in fla
vor. They talk about the
Hood River apples, but they
don't know what apples are
compared to Emmett app es.
Yet land is selling here at

acre-all standing on edge
and covered with second

! latons to its own streets and Great
ing new relations with reference tc
other highways?
l desire to register in advance
my objection to having the City
of Emmett included within an
other municipal corporation, and
20 having its public streets under
control CT any authority outside OF
itself
l believe in good roads. 1 be-
lieve in Highway improvements. /
admit that the new Highway Dis
trict law may have many commen-
dable features. But l am adverse
to seeing the City, so far as it's
streets are concerned, made the
appendage of something else.
If the City is Incorporated into
Highways District-that means
taxing and bond-issuing author
ity, outside ourselves, and power
will be given to impose upon
us burdens by taxation Tor the
purposes cf the whole district.
1t means that we will surrender
the right to tax ourselves for
ourselves alone, and grant to
another authority, with different
interests and different purposes,
the power to impose burdens uEon
us.
1t mears tie surrender, in a
large measure, of our rights to
apply our own revenues to our own
advantages.
1t means certain bond issues in
cumbering our p. operty and, oRly
N a small measure, made for our
benefit-if at all.
AS with all attempts at the
creation of new kinds of municipal
organizations, it means blunders,
guesses, litigation, and opportun-
tiles for the supre me court to
guess the meaning of new sta
tutes, expressed in language that
may be read either forwards or
backwards with equal intelligib lity
1t means the putting of new
creature or the lava new species
of corporate authority-into the
hands of inexperienced men-men
in the management of
large or complex business affairs; |
and it means that such men will be
clothed with a wide authority in
the control of the highways and /
streets, in the contracting of pub
lie debts, and with the taxation OF
our property, in the almost &c tain
prospect of greatly increasing those
burdens under which we are now
justly complaining.
l believe that the City should
have exclusive control of its own
streets; that it should not be en-
,trangled with the management of
The rural highways, and that no
outside authority should have a
yoice in taxing its property aside
rom the school district, the coun-
y, and the state. In other words, :
believe in home rule, and that, !
or all purposes Of government and
axation, We should, as much as !
,ossible, be a unity unto ourselves. {
