Excerpt from Home Rule in Iowa
In these days there is much said and written concerning home rule in local government. And yet, home rule is not a new idea in America - a proposed experiment in government. On the contrary, home rule has long been a cherished political heritage. But how many people today have a clear notion of what home rule means! What is home rule in Iowa?
To answer this question is the purpose of the pages that follow. Neither the time nor the means have been available for an exhaustive study of all of the phases of home rule, either in this State or in the other Commonwealths of the Union. An attempt has been made, however, to trace briefly the development of home rule as a factor in local government, to indicate the present position of the local areas in Iowa and the resulting evils of special legislation, to point out the necessity and effects of classification, to show the impracticability of rigid uniformity in the government of local areas, to present the home rule charter system in the light of its successes and shortcomings, and to suggest a general division between State and local functions. The real scope and limitations of the paper can best be indicated by pointing out the actual studies made by the writer in its preparation.
