‘Home Rule’ Plan
Hit by Kowalski
An appeal to vote against the
proposed ‘ Home Rule” amendment
to the state constitution has been
issued by Fred Kowalski as pres
ident of the Roosevelt-Gamer
club.
This amendment would allow
counties with populations over 62,
000 to reform their county govern
ments with the power concentrated
in the commissioners court.
Kowalski is of the opinion that
this strong concentration of power
in one small group is undemocra
tic and likely to produce evil con
ditions.
Under the proposed “home rule”
the commissioners would be able to
appoint practically all office hold
ers in the county.
The largest mass of copper ore
on record was found in a Minne
sota mine in 1857; it measured
45 feet in length 22 feet at its
greatest width and more than
eight feet in its thickest part,
weighed 420 tons and contained
over 90 per cent of pure copper.
