Ashland. On, NOY. I

Ashland, Or, Nov 10.
To the Editor:
The present city charter LOCKS
ahout as much like the original
draft as a kitten does Il porcupine'
and a kitten is a cat, and porcu-
plne is a cat with stickers on him.
In other words, he has been amend
ed. he is like our city charter. When
| read these amendments to the city
charter, thought of those words
once used by a master: ION. i'm
proyident soldiers, had thy watch
been good, this sudden mischief
never could have fallen"
But you say, why not amend the
city charter; has not the constitu-
ton of the United States been
amended nineteen times in the past
l5O years, and if so great a docu-
ment as that can be amended, why
not our charte? To be sure that Is
true-and there is certainly room
TO ramendments; that is, some OF
the amendments ought to be repeal
ed at least. The amendments to the
United States constitution have us
ually been to keep the authorities
from doing certain things; the first
fifteen amendments were somewhat
OF that nature. But in our case, 1t
has been more often TO enable the
authorities to put through some pet
scheme. or course, as long as the
city council remained the agent OF
the people, 1t seems all right to make
most any kind of an old amendment
to the charter, but under the pres
ent management, the people being
the agents of the council, it is diff
.ferent, don't you see. A year ago
the people ordered the city council
to build a reservoir, to conserve our
water, to make it possible for the
people to 90 through with their
crops during the dry season and
make a living, hut under the present
management, the council being the
boss of the people, instead of the
people being the boss Of the coun-
ell, they ignored the order. Since
this self-constituted change they ac-
tually got bold enough to order the
people to change the charter, so as
to make the thing legal that was IL
legal before, and if the people had
amended the charter, as demanded
by the council, IL would have been
legal then to have taken these funds
and done whatever they liked. You
noticed that they did not mention
taking over any Of the accounts that
are usually IN the req, IL was inese
monied accounts that they wanted.
Their purpose being to make the wa
ter consumers pay a larger proper
ton OF the taxes than they are able
to get from the real estate at the
present time; S5 per cent don't seem
enough to get out Of the real estate.
But the people just got a little stir
red up, and would not make this
change, Notwithstanding that the
mayor, city attorney and the record
er all tried their elyel best to get
them to do IT, and even told the
people that the honor Of the city

Abandoned Baby
Taken To Home
Of Grandfather

Miss frankie johnson, sister o
the Mrs. Riggs, who abandoned hel
two-year-old son with Mrs. Pearl
Stevens, S42 Blaine street, Wednes
day, arrived in Ashland Saturday
morning, in response to a telegram
sent to her father at San Francisco
at Mrs. Riggs suggestion. She left
in the afternoon of the same day
for Frisco, taking the baby with
her.
The child was Mrs. Riggs by a
former husband, from whom she re
ceived a divorce, the custody of the
baby being awarded to its mother S
father. The second husband, named
Riggs, deserted his wife, according
to the police. Possession of the
child was in some way regained by
the mother, who, when she aban-
doned it here last week, left in its
clothes a note asking that a wire be
sent her father in San Francisco
Am left alone in the world
and can't do anything else. A brok-
en-hearted mother"
Chief of Police Hatcher has been
informed that Mrs. Riggs was pick
ed up while walking in the direction
of klamath Falls and taken to that
city.
Mls. Riggs is described as a rather
tall, slender young woman of about
twenty-three, with auburn hair and
freckled face.
WOuld-be AdOpters
Since the Riggs baby was aban-
dOned here Wednesday several ap-
pllcatiOns from woultbe adOpters
have been received by Mrs. Pearl
Stevens, with whom the child was
left. Inquiry develops the fact that
babies are in strong demand in All
land and anyone knowing OF infants
in need of a good home would do
well to make the fact known here,
An Ashland lady who tried to lind
a baby for adol tion in California
encountered many difficulties and
few available infants which were de-
sirable. This condition was not be-
cause there was any lack Of home
less children, but appeared to be due
to the fact that the state paid $40
per month for taking care OF babies
md those who had the business were
not inclined to let it get away from
them.
In the Golden State, according to
the informant, it Is the custom to
farm out" homeless waits in bat
ches Of six or less to women who
care for them at the price above
Some receive good
while Others do not, and
in no case Is child so well off as
1t would be in a good home where
1t had been adopted.
Miss Minnie Beaver, who recently
returned from Portland, where she
was employed as a nurse in the AL
bertina Kerr baby home, states that
,hildess parents encounter similar
difficulty in finding Oregon child |
rem to adopt. While the Kerr home
was always overcrowded, few of the
children were available for adop-
ion, partially because of the unwil.
ingness of those whose parents were
living to give their consent ard part
y because the superintendent ap-
1eared unwilling to let them co.
Even abandoned babies were kept a
'ear and half before anyone was
allowed to adopt them. Miss Beav-
,r says that some doubt as to wheth-
n the infants can legally be held
