What is the so called "home rule"
amendment? 1t is plan to change the,
Michigan local option law so that the
voting unit will be the city, village or
township instead of the county as at
present. 1t is distinctly wet measure
as advocated by the Michigan home
rule league. which is the anti-Prohibi-
ton organization of the Michigan sa-
looms who are backed by the brewers
and distillers in many other states than
Michigan.
The liquor people don't like it because
certain cities that want to stay wet are
compelled to 60 dry by the vote of the
county in which they are situated. If
they can Elk things" so that the cities
and the several townships will each de-
eide for themselves whether to remain
wet or dry, such cities can stay wet
whether the townships like it or not.
But you may be sure that any meas
ure favored by the liquor men has
something in it for 1.-The trade and
this one is no exception.
Home rule" indeed! About how
much home rule would the dry town
ships of county enjoy with large
wet city in their midst? Of what avail
is large dry majority under such cir
cumstances? 1t is bad enough when a
county that has voted itself dry is COM
PEELED to submit to the overflow of
booze from an adjoinging wet county,
but it would be indefinitely worse with
smaller local option unit

improvements at Lake Orion

The owners of the resort at Lake
Orion have had very successful sea-
son in every one of the different depart
ments connected with this beautiful
Lower Michigan resort. The hotels,
passenger boats, row boats, canoes,
picnic ground. bathing beach and
amusements park all have proven in
adequate during the past season for the
number of people who were there.
AS result the company has decided to
spend $25,0 between now and the
opening date next May for the I'm
provement of it's property.
Lake Orion with these improvements
will undoubtedly make one of the finest
lake resorts in this Country. A large
number of men and teams are to be
employed, the advertisement of which
appears in an other column in this
paper.
