To tho Editer: , in your paper of recent date you hare an editorial en titled "A Neglected Industry." Kindly permit mo to differ from you in somo .ways. Tho poultry industry in Med ford and vicinity is not neglected, but is being developed along tho wrong lines. Not neglected, because at this tlmo Medford is shipping moro eggs than over beforo in its history. At present tho supply exceeds tho de mand. Therefore, having eggs for the market, wo must find a market for tho eggs. Portland can easily uso all tho eggs our valley can produce, but the express rato to Portland of 9t cents per crate' of 30 dozen eggs is prohibitive. What then is the rem edy? Organization and cooperation of all producers, largo and small. The benefits that will then' accrue aro many. Competition will die a natur al death. Eggs and poultry, and sup plies for raising tho same, can then bo handled through one office. In this way eggs can bo graded Just as fruit is fancy, choice and" culls for surely eggs should bo sold by weight. Feed can then be purchased at first cost What Petaluma has done, the Rogue river valley can also do, but not without organization and cooporatlon. Yours truly, S. V. NEALL.

PRESIDENT TAFT has attracted attention to the pub lic market as a source of lowering the high cost of living, by a public commendation ot the Dubuque, Iowa, market established sonic 0U odd years ago. According to sale cards sent out by the market man agement, the purchasing power of a dollar is greater in Dubuque than m almost any city in the land, due to the market. I - ( fyac- Dubuque hag one of the most, remarkable out-of-door markets in the world. All Dubuque goes to market, and everything finds a ready sale. Nearly everything is sold to the people direct at retail prices, but whatever is left over is disposed of at wholesale prices to the grocers or shippers. Dubuque women go to market in the cool of the morn ing and obtain garden produce as fresh as if gathered from the homo garden; or butter, eggs, tish, and poultry, 'low "s. etc., that are "strictly fresh." It is a common sight to see a well dressed woman trudging home with a veil filled basket in one hand and a pair of live chickens in the other. The city of Dubuque employs a marketinastcr, who has general supervision. He also inspects the qualit' of pro- luce and the accuracy or weights and measures, and should any person offer for sale fish, poultry, butter, etc., unfit ior use or attempt to use Jight weights or short measures he would be fined or barred from further par ticipation. The city rents the space along the curb front ing city property at stated annual amounts for each stand, varying from $6.25 to $12.50, according to size and loca tion, and this money goes into the city treasury. In re turn the city pays a salary to the marketinastcr for all cleaning incidental to keeping the market in an attractive and orderly condition. There is no reason whj Medford ?s proposed public market should not accomplish for this section what Du buque's market has accomplished for Dubuque, and why a foliar should not then go farther in Medford than iii any part of Oregdli. SOMETHING WJ. SCOTT, a farmer of the upper Rogue district, has evolved, in the Gold Hill News, a scheme which he asserts will revolutionize the finances of the world and make "the great god Money become the slave of the people instead of their being slaves to it." "Governments and administrations will rise and fall upon this wonderful dea." states Mr. Scott. In brief, Mr. Scott's scheme is for tho conutv to issuo non-interest bearing bonds men taKe our a national bank cnarter m the name of the Taxpayers' National Bank of Jackson County, Oregon, and under the national banking act, deposit the bonds with the government and have the treasury department issue national bank notes, for the use of which money the people would not have to pay anything. This is, like the greenback and fiat money schemes, an attempt .to get something for nothing. Non-interest bear ing bonds are a non-negotiable security. Not even the United States government with the wealth and resources of the entire nation, can borrow without paying for it. Neither Mr. Scott nor any one else will loan money with out interest, and the use of the money is usually worth the nrice paid for it if the price be legitimate. Mr. Scott's scheme contemplates that the people enter the banking business as a communit a form of socialism that would be bitterly fought. It would involve an entire readjustment of economic principles, resulting in a pro 'onged demoralization during readjustment. It is there fore impractical. There is this merit in the suggestion, however. It would enable the people to secure money at a lower rate 'f interest, provided they wanted to go into the banking business. Three percent bonds could be deposited as se curity with the treasury department, for an issuance of currency, though it is doubtful if the entire issue would o so accented. FLOREY IS OUT FOR RECORDER'S OEGICE Chauncey Floroy, deputy county assessor, has announced himself as a candidato for tho republican nomina tion for county recorder and will op pose Fred L. Colvlg. Mr. FJorey la well known through out the county, having been a resi dent of Eaglo Point for many years. Mr. Florey is said by his friends to bo admirably suited for the office.

Warden of Prison Tells of Success of Humane EffortsMen Sett Stand ard of Loyalty and Obedience. CANON CITY Colo.. March . "From statistics wo tlnn that of tho 350 criminal cases taken to tho su premo court of this state over GO per cent have been" reversed. Now comes tho questien: How many men caught In tho tolls of tho law can over hope to bring their casus to the highest court In tho state? And it Is not reasonable to assume that, wero tho supremo court to rule on all tho criminal cases had those men the money to provide for it only no per cent of our present prison population would be hero to day." In these words, Thomas J. Tynan, warden of tho Colorado penitentiary hero, whoso humane methods of handling tho convicts committed to his care, have brought forth tho praises of tho sociologists through out tho country, summed up the reasons why ho is fighting for the privilege and liberalities of the men and women convicts. Make. Useful Clt lens For several years Tynan has boon nn advocate of tho theory that pris ons and reformatories should not bo mere places of confinement, but should convert convicts Into useful men aud women, with an object in llfo and ability to earn nn honest living. Somo time ago Tynan aston ished penology exports through tho country when ho successfully put his convicts on their honor and let them work on tho roads of tho stato on their own parolo aud without being kopt under armed guards. "I bcllevo that noarly 75 per cent of the vast army of men In our pris ons today need not servo their sen tences behind prison walls," Tynan continued. "I bclluvo they could bo profitably worked in the interest of tho stato as well as themselves, In outdoor work so that, while techni cally serving sentences for certain offouBcs committed they could earn a reasonable and just wage. WestV Plan Tried "This 75 por ceo..

Yet thero is something In living be hind sombre gray walls that steeps a man's self respect In n filth and mire from which recovery Is seldom attained. "During tho last threo years wo have had over 60 per cent of our samo able-bodied population at work on tho stato road camps and on tho state farms, some of thorn 300 in lies from the prison, all working In tho free, open air with all Its attendant benefits, under skilled and compe tent overseers, with nn gun guards, no stripes, no lock and no ball and chain, but every latitude that could bo consistently given with safety. In thoso camps and on these ranchos the men havo been taught scientific road building, farming In all Its de partments and many departments of the building trades.

Wus It necessary to tag thoso men with a number? Was It accessary to shear their hair? Was It nocosHary to proclaim to tho world their crimin ality and advertise them as lost creatures?
