Charter Commission First

\X/ HEN, on next Monday evening. the re-
w port Of the Council Charter Change
Committee is presented 10 special meeting
of the Council. that section of the report urg-
ing legislation that will permit Richmond to
select Tor itself the form of government ii
prefers should he segregated and assigned
for speedy deliberation and action Com
peIline reasons support and urge the adoption
OF this police.
In the first place ii will facilitate the
transaction OF the Councils business. for pro
tracled argument is unlikely 10 illumine the
question OF charter submission. Members az
Council either believe the people should have
the right 10 select charter commission and
to pass on the charter that commission
frames. or they have no faith in this Gle
mentary principle OF democracy In either
case, long arguments not likely to change
their CONVICTIONS This matter. then. can be
got out Of the way and Council permitted Ia
pass 10 the really controversial aspects nf
the proposed charter amendments.
IN the second place and this reason is
even more important-thc General Assembly
conrenes shortly in regular session Ii must
pass the enabling act that will permit an cleo.
ton to be called. Al such election. il the
measure that has been framed is approved in
It's present form. the voters will decide. first
whether charter commission shall he
named. and second, who shall compose that
commission.
- u - 'FulSl! mat .SSiSl5flNs processes arc
slow and rather unwieldy, Time will be re.
quired to introduce the bin. refer il to appro-
pirate committees allow for reasonable dis
cussion therein and obtain tho concurrinc
action OF Senate and House of Delegates Tn
less therefore the bin is introduced in tho
early days of,ihe session. there Mill he danger
Of its being crushed to death in the rush az
other business.
There i yet another reason why Council
should not delay. The people demand the
right 10 decide :or themselves how they Shall
be governed Ot all the larger cities and
principal towns oi the state, this right is
withheld from Richmond ;,lonc-tho capi,al
and metropolis OF the Commonwealth is So
/ lected for this peculiarly odious discrimina
/ ton.
Richmond rebels at it, and properly rebels.
/ II there must bc some discrimination i'm this
regard. il should he the other way about bur.
\ OF course. there ought ia he none ana need
y" none. Home rule is principle OF demo

| produced the CHIEF apostle of American
| democracy to deny it is little less than an
