HOME RULE is IMPOS.
SIBLE

So called home rule by cities in
the regulation of public utilities, is
an impossibilty.
This principle has just been in
dorsed in decision by the Oregon
Supreme court holding the state has
the supreme control over regulation
and rate making.
In the case Of the city of Hills
boro VS.. the North Coast Power Co.
the court held that charter pro-
vision requiring free hydrant SER
vice was null and void.
The Public Service Commission
decided that the city must pay $500
am onth for each hydrant, and that
free service to the city in any form,
by a utility, imposed an unequal
burden upon the other users of SER
vice and the taxpayers generally.

Lillian Russell the great actress has
contributed $500 to the Republican ma
tional committee for the printing of the
Declaration of independence. She did this
upon hearing that the Democrats were
raising fund to print the League Of Ma
lions.
1t will not now be surprising to hear
that Weston Vernon, Frank w. Beane, j.
M. Blair and Augustus Gordon, life long
Republicans, have changed their politics
in order to support Cox and the League
of Nations. 1t is so easy, you know, for
a Democrat to turn Republican just to
turn Democrat again to support Cox and
the League of Nations.
Senator Harding and the Republicans
need not be ashamed at the array of col
lege presidents that are supporting them
They are the presidents of Harvard, John
Hopkins, Cornell Columbia, Leland STAN
