BUteen tiiiiee oi urni mim i" ,tTi N NO wnv can ledford become the city beautiful as easilv and as cheaply as by planting ot simtlo trees along residence streets. With plenty ot water, witu abun dant soil and with a climate that will grow almost any thing, no excuse can be offered for not beautifying the citv "Competent real estate authorities from experiences in other cities, estimate that well grown trees of ten years or over increase the value of abutting residence property at least twenty per cent. The value of individual trees is pstinmtod at from $250 to $300 apiece. The cost of plant- i iug and caring for the trees for ten years in comparatively H2 little and the gain to the municipality is great. The tree planting should be under nnn.icipai control, so that regularilv and care will be exercised. Left to in dividual owners "trees will not be planted, or if planted not cared for. Tho money spent on this public improve ment differs from that spent on other public improvements in that its value increases in each passing year instead of deteriorating. It is no more sensible to trust tree planting aild care to individuals than it is to trust the curbing and paving in front of their property. Street trees give-the best re sults when publicly cared tor, planted according to spec ifications and cared for as the street is cared for. Public tree planting is not sentimental, foolish or a fad. It is a business proposition. It is so recognized in many of the states. It has been adopted largely in south ern California, and as a result has added great attractive ness to the cities. Riverside- is a good example, "yith an estimated population of 15,000 last year $6000 was spent for street tree purposes. The trees were planted, watered, trimmed and maintained from a tax levy tor the purpose. In 1909 Riverside planted over 2500 street trees,making the total since the movement began of over 60 miles of street trees. Magnolia avenue is famous throughout the country, and her streets show what can be done with a definite policy of systematically planting all the improved streets of the city. Medford should follow the example of Riverside and as the most progressive city in Oregon be the) first to in augurate tree planting upon a modern basis.

Why have not tho liquor men and their aid society the courage and honesty to admit this? They must deceive the public or their causo is lost. ' "Prohibition is a Fallacy" So ox-Mnyor Rose declares. Tho fallacies of prohibition cannot hold a candlo to tho FALSEHOODS of the liquor men and their aid society. Read tho following telegram, received In Portland Satur day afternoon: Topeka, Kansas, October 20, 10. It 1b, with feelings of regret and shame that the undersigned are conipOllod to denounce as misleading and false tho statements of the mayor of the capital city of Kansas concerning conditions In our state. We condemn him as a traitor to his city and state, and wholly unworthy of tho high posltlon"he holds. Our prohllbtlnn law is the most drastic and far-reaching ever passed by atiy legislative body, and It Is well enforced throughout our citv nnd state. There is not one ojmmi saloon in Knnvis, and the statements of Mayor Blllard are an outrage upon our city and state. Our stato Is exceedingly prosperous. At least 75 per cent of our people Stand solidly for our laws. Tho National Association of Manufacturers and Business Men. and outflltlo brewery associations, organized by one Hlnkle, from Milwaukee, has perfected a local organization In Topeka of which Mayor Blllard Is vlco-presldent.

BOWERMAN AND SPECIAL INTERESTS. CORPORATIONS chose a faithful servant in the person of Jay Bowcrinan, assembly nominee for governor, to lead the attack on popular government and progressive legislation. , 'Mr. Bowerman is seriously smirched in the J. Thorburn Ross scandal precipitated by the failure of the Title Guar antee and Trust bank of Portland. Mr. Bowerman, while a member of the senate in 1907, was a .member of the committee which killed the Miller bill requiring that state funds be deposited by a state board in approved banks paying interest on such deposits into the state treasury, and secured instead the passage of a law under which the state treasurer alone deposited $395,000 of school funds in J. Thorburn Ross' bank, which afterwards failed. Mr. Bowerman. according to the Oregonian, responded to the request of Mr. Ross' bank, and as "Joinder" (tho code name he was called by), killed the Jackson bill, which had already passed the house and provided a judicial re view of the lawsuit whereby trudge Marquam lost the Mar quam block to the Ross bank. But Mr. Bowerman's legislative record shows him all along to have been a staunch supporter of corporation j measures. TTe helped defeat the SO-cent gas bill, and its defeat enabled the Portland Gas company to water its I stock to an immense degree at the expense of the con-j sumers of Portland. He refused to vote for Oswald West's bill restoring to the public domain a million dollai-s' worth of tide lands claimed by the TTarriman railroads. lie vot ed for a constitutional convention, which has as its object tho elimination of the initiative and referendum. ITe voted against the railroad commission bill limiting railroad em ployes to M hours' continuous work. Mr. Bowerman's wierd record shows him opposed to popular government. ITe voted for the Mariner bill to legalise the assembly, ile refused to take Statement No. 1. ITe said in a senate speech that he would rather vote for a convention caudidate than a direct primary candi date, lie orjfnuiwd and "stacked" the assembly and re fused to permit his campaign committee to declare for the direct primary and Statement No. I. The only way to effectually defeat the effort to kill tho direct primary and to defeat the effort of special in terests to control Oregon's government is to defeat Jay Bowerman. W. K.

AND THREE THOUSAND IS DIG.VANT CITIZENS n' A 'STANDING VOTE AT A MASS MEETING IN AUDITO RIUM LAST NIGHT. The Attorney General has Knocked Rotvn the Man of Straw Which the Homo Rule Association Set Up. Rend this excerpt from tho address of Hon. E. C. Dronaugh, for mer JudBe of the circuit court. Speaking of the home rule amend ment lio'sald: "It Is merely a repetition or the famous, I should say Infamous Heddy hill. That bill was snowed under deep by the voters of Oregon two yeara ago. "I notice what purports to be an opinion by tho nttornowgonernl of thls'stnte. answering in the negative tho question as to whether or no this proposed bill will put It within the power of municipalities to nullify .tho criminal laws of the stato of Oregon. I did not know that anybody had announced the proposition that it would. The liquor men have put up a man of btrnw and have asked tho attorney general to knock It over for them. Nobody who has studied tho law supposes for a moment that it will enable municipalities to nnnul the criminal laws of tho state of Oregon. Dut it will do a fow things which I would like to place before you to meditate upon. "Perhaps you know that we have In this state a law which provides that no license shall bo granted to n person who has been convicted of soiling liquors to minors, or permitting minors to loiter about his saloon; that Is, It Is the law except in the city of Portland. "Wo have another law which prohibits scaloonkeepors from sell ing liquors to habitual drunkards. There is another law which pro hibits the opening. of saloons on Sunday. There Is another law which prohibits the licensing of saloons within a certain distance of a public school building. Tho proposed, so-called home rule bill will put it within the power of every municipality to evade those laws. Vow, Mr. Liquor Man, will you ask lllo attpmcy Jeneful whether that statement Is true or not? And sec what lie says. 9 "I am not hero tonight to abuse anybody, t am not here to ahuse1 men who may disagree with me. I am hero td express surprise that the liquor men should have been shrewd enough td secure such an ar ray of reputable and honorable men to stand sponsor for their bill. Many of those men I know personally, and I know that, if tho true inwardness of that bill had been explained to them, their names never would have, been at the foot of It and their influence never woul4 have been back of It. "Therearo other things this bill proposes to do. Has It struck you that It Is at all significant that the clause, 'subject to he conslu lonal and criminal laws of tho state of Oregon,' comes beforo the clause relating to the suppression and regulation of tho sale of liquor? There is alBo a clause put In the end for the purpose of misleading I can see no other purpose for It 'Subject to the provisions of the local option law of the state of Oregon, within the limits of the municipality.' "Jti s provided in this act that no municipality may amend its charter so as to be in conflict with the criminal laws of the state, or with the provisions ot the constitution; but this act docs propose Ik offect to amend tho charter of evory municipality so that that munici pality may enact ordinances, regulations and laws, which set at de fiance the laws ot the state regulating tho sale of liquor. It will also practically nullify the local option law, because, It you read tho criti cism of tho Oregonian this morning, you will note that the Orcgoniaa called attention to the fact that It would practically do away with pre cinct vote and will limit tho operation of the local option law to the municipality an an entirety. It will do more than this. In many parts ot the state where there are small towns there are largo precincts which Include a whole or a part of the town, and a part of the country as well. This law gives the right to the municipality, as a whole, to vote upon the local option law, but there Is no law that gives a part of a precinct outside of a city the right to vote upon the question of the prohibition of tho sale of liquor, and therefore all such pre'clncts outside of the municipality will bo doprlved of that right. Also ! tho munilcpallty, In many cities whero it is not possiblo to carry tho city dry. a vote may be had upon a precinct, or combination of pre cincts. "That Is true In the city of Portland, and In many of the parts of the city peoplo who do not want the saloons In their residence neigh borhood have voted their precinct dry. They would be deprived of that right If this bill becomes a part of the constitution of the state of Oregon. And, think of it. I say this is the most outrageous nnd nudnclous nsault that has yet been made upon the rights of the peo ple of this state. "Then again, if this amendment Is adopted. If any county or precinct votes dry, it will be within tho power of tho liquor men to create a new municipality, however small, within such dry territory, which will be Invested with authority to llctwiie the sale of liquor within the municipal limits and thoreby corrupt the whole district and set at naught the wilt ot the people."
