the fundamental injustice of unequal representation
Rather its purpose was to give the cities limited
amount of independence under a Home Rule consti-
tutional amendment or legislation. This usually guar
antees the city freedom from legislative interference
in its own local affairs, gives it the right to raise
revenue without legislative interference and to pick
any type of local government the people desire At
least that was the theory of the who fought for it.
First adopted in 1875 by Missouri. Home Rule
charters were eventually granted in 10 states But

Not Even Gas Stations
CONSIDER the amazing case of Ohio, where Home
Rule was voted into law by the people in 1912 and
where 33 cities are supposedly still enjoying its advan-
tages But one after another these advantages have
gradually been whitfield away. In 1915 the cities lost
the right to fix their gas and electricity rates. In
1925, they lost the right to create municipal courts
BY 1884, they couldn't establish requirements for
licenses to operate gas stations Ten years later
they lost the power to prescribe qualifications for their
own policemen and in l943. the power to establish
retirement system for their firemen
But the best case history of how state leeisla.
ture can try to tyrannize and plunder a city is
the story of New Orleans. For years it was the
pawn of the legislature, dominated by the Long
machine Its debt was scandaous its police depart
ment reeked with graft. Gambling dens and houses of
prostitution operated wide open milking the people
OF $3OOOOOOO year. Forty-eght hundred slot ma
chimes took in millions more, large slice eventually
finding its way into official pockets
Then, IN 1916, 4-year-old war veteran named
deLesseps (Chep) Morrison caused political sensa-
ton by defeating the Long machine and winning the
election for mayor Immediately he fought to restore
order and independence to the CITY,
