"There is very little difference between Medford, Or." says Miss Ring, "and Broadway, except that the people arc likely to take you more seriouslv and it is a little more difficult to make the kind of comedy that Broadway likes go with a country audience." All of which is probably correct. Tho Broadway audi ences are composed, in the main, not of New Yorkers, who arc a very provincial 'lot, but of tho pcoplo of the Medfords of the United States who arc in New York on a sight-seeing trip. It is an acknowledged fact that the Broadway shows are kept alive by the transient population of Manhattan. A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. of pavement, March eAnt. cent. Banner SI. 1911: show.

No man who' labors with ltts fiands in Jnukson County, or who depend niou wages fohis1 maintenance nnd Kiiptort, can find 'a good reason why he should not vote in favor of the bon d itisue of one and n half million dol lars io be expended all within Jackou County upon Jackson County rtuulx, and so far as tho authorities can control the matter, be paid only to Amcri ean resident laborers. We can see why the tax payer who pays into the (,ounty Treasury a considerable amount of money may hnve fears thnt tin burden of indebtedness will increase his taxes, and yet we think that his fears arc groundless. Thnt amount of money properly expended in Jnck son county within the next four years will build three hundred miles of permanent nnd scientifically built roads, and this three hundred miles of road would be divided up and placed over the county nbout us follows : Fifty-six miles running from the California line through Ashland, Tal tnt, Phoenix. Medford, Central Point, Gold Hill, and Woodville to the line of Josephine County; Sixty miles more will cross the county in the other direction commenc ing we will say nt Ruch postofficc on theApplegntc, running through Jack sonville, through Central Point, through Agate to Eagle Point, and from thence straight north to Trail; About 16 milefrom Eaglu Point to Butte Falls; About 20 riiles tip Big Butte: About 20 miles or more from Englo Point up Little Butte creek; From Bntte Falls to Prospect; From Agate to Sams Valley postoffice and to Beagle and down io Gold Hill on that side of the river; From Rach down the Applegnte ten or twelve miles to the Josephine County line; ' From Ruch up both Big and Little Applegate to the foot of the mountains; From Ashland to the Klamath County line via Wagner Springs; and From Woodville up Evans Ctcck through the populous part of t!it creek valley, and other roads which should be mnde permanent. That is to sa'v the three hundred miles of road at $5000 per mile will mtika great highways across tho county, through the densely populated portions both north nnd south, and east and west; and will make durable highways of same char acter up every creek of any1 consequence in the county. This work will re quire ah immense amount' Of labor for mertYid teams. ' ' It may be truthfully said that the present method of constructing high ways in Jackson County is the most expensive way in which our road work can be done. Without the bond issue we must pay tho labor by county war- rents, and these have been forced down by vnrious causes to about 90 cents en the dollar. One reason why they don't bring pnr is that their cireulu llon among the people is rieccshnrilly local; and another reason is that the person wio Invests inTCohnty'WnrraittK mtiHt await their final payment be fore he receives one penny of intercut. The poor man cunnot afford to hold his money this long,' and o It is bought up by monicd men whose wholo object Ls'to force down the put' valuo of tho Acrip to such a figtire that "in long run after waiting years until 'it is paid, their investment may cquhl par and 8 per cent per annum on their money. Wc cannot do 'very' raueh business in this manner. The county has been trying it; the county is oilly iN7,O00 In debt at 'this time, with an aHsessed valuation of pcftrly $40, 000,000. This Is uot a very heavy indebtedness for such a wealthy cofn rounjty. Some of our citizcnV viy thut we should go on and levy a tnx heavy enough to produce a'targu 'amount of (none'y Tbr Tom! purposes. This would be a burden upon the present tax payers, while the bond form of indebtedness would distribute tho burden alonjf a period of twenty years nlid others will help pay it who come after us. Let us suppose thnt the eity of Ashland, or Medford, or Cential Point, or any other city of the couilty would attempt to pave their streets by paying out city warrants. Tlmy would soon find that their warrants would drop to 73 cents on the dollhr. Hid even lower, Jackson County Warrants at one time brought 8 per ceint instead of (1 per cent as how, and when thoy brought 8 per cent Mr. Beck n,an of Jacksonville will tell uny citizens of tho County that he bought more than $T)0,000 of Juekoon County Warrants nt 30 cents nn the dollur. Is it business to attempt any great enterprise in this maimer? )Ve do not do it in our pavingcontrncts; wo do not do It when we In. nuguratonn expensive water system; wo'do'imt do if lriotir Joh3drdrstrlfitM ','hen wo' want to build a fine school house, because it isn't good business to atlempt Itriri airih'etfe lntltances the people contract a BONDED IN PEBTEDNE8S. It is said that our county crt'rtft ani its assistant advisory board do not know how to build scientific! rondfc? This is probnbly true. They do not know how to' liUildH(eeI)jridgct, across Roge 'er, buVtlicy havo had good ones built'. The pqOpWwho furnished tho money, to construct tho railroads in this valley did nbt know hliw to bit ild railroads bilt'thoir money brought people hero who did. The, City Coimei" of Medford, nor any member of if, could uot have laid the 24 miles of wuter main from tho mountains to this city; tho engineering difficulties were beyond their capacity, but thov had it done by employing Hitch engineers a s understood the work. So there is no argument in tills. ' Some carping critics suy they aro afraid of graft, fnny bf us hnva spont our lives in this couutry and wo haye noyor known graft to bo attached to tho expenditure of public funds. Tho cities of Ashland and Medford have expended, through tiielr common council!, jare suniii of money 'during the past two years In public Improvements, and I have hot heard any of Hiobo officers being Veered h graft, or'any other' tormof corruption; ' Their Judg riient may havo been 'criticised; but We are all liable to err.
