Medford has been so busy building a city that little attention has been paid to school matters. As a result, little interest has been manifested and a growing feeling of dissatisfaction has spread throughout the city. JMeinbers of the present board are all successful busi ness men and have given a business adminitratiou. As none of the board were educators they left the details of school management largely to employes. The tune has arrived, however, when die school board should consist of educators as well as business men. "Women, who are most closely brought into contact with the schools, have had no representation upon the board. They are more vitally interested in them than any one else. The careful mother eloselv watches the progress of her children and is quick to note flaws in the educational system. .Realizing the need of trained educators upon the board, and the justice of having one of their own sex as their representative, with whom they can discuss the sit uation in a way impossible to discuss with men. the mothers of Medford have united in support of a candidate and placed Mrs. E. S. Parsons before the voters. "Without any question, Mrs. Parsons, is one of the brightest women in Medford, is in every way, the best qualified of all the candidates named. She has the prac tical and theoretical training, she has the energy and ad ministrative ability, the tact and common sense necessary to successfully fill the situation. If you have the best interests of the public schools at heart, you will work and vote for Mrs. Parsons for school director. g tho past six years write Commercial Club.

To the Titanic Band EIGHT JIKHOKS Two thousand fathoms down Into tho silent deep, Eight gallant heroes drown, While waters upward creep. Down in that awful dark, Hearsed in the cruel sea, Eight heroes stiff and stark, Have died for chivalry. Of all Tltanic's host, That sunk beneath tho wave, Theso merit praise tho most, As bravest of the brave. On tho deserted deck, Onco scene of mirth and song, Facing tho final wreck, They cheered tho awe-struck throng. Masters of music they A email courageous baud, Each man assayed to play As calmly as on land. "Nearer My God to Thee," That waB tho hymn they played, Facing eternity, Yet undismayed. Hartley, tho leader's name, Great hero of that day, A Btranger to tho coward's shame, His was tho Master's way. Ho sacrificed himself for all, His duty hold him fast Ho heard alono its clarion call, Abovo tho slreu's blast. Humo, Taylor, Clerk, and Wood KlniB, IirayJey and Brancoux, Each man has by his death made good And to tho last proved true. For all theso souls wo pray, Reward whero'er they bo And at tho Judgment Day A crown for bravery. That sweet and holy hymn, Stolo on tho lambent ulr, And then tho lights grow dim, And God was sought in prayer. Tho feoblo tongue or pen, Halts at tho wicred task, Of praising thoso bravo men, Forgot them not, wo aHk. And whon you hear that hymn Throughout tho coining years Think of thoso gallant men, Who calmed their fellow's fears. Over tho angry deep, Under tho sombre sky, 'Neath which theso horooH sleep, Lot anthems rlso on high. Mon of red Saxon blood, Uncovor them with pridu, Proclaim tho 1Iou"h brood Most worthily havo died, And when tho ships that plough tho doop IMiBs o'or tho uumarkod graves, Toll, toll, tho boll for htm who sloops lloneuth tho Bad sea waves. ily Bishop B. D. Usahor. SPECIAL LEGISLATION. TlIE restaurant men want a city ordinance prohibiting saloons from serving free lunches. Thcv alreadv have an ordinance prohibiting the lunch wagons that formerly did a rushing business during the night. The confectioners tried to secure an ordinance prohib iting ice cream wagons and succeeded in enforcing a stiff license that cut down their number. The jewelers have secured the passage of an ordin ance virtuallv prohibiting iewelrv actions bv excessive license. . ,. The grocers would like to forbid the sale of produce, the butcher to cut out the meat stalls at the public market. All of this is special legislation and treads closely upon the constitutional rights of those affected. But there is precedent enough. Doesn't the tariff levy on the many for the benetit ot the tew, and it the national law helps the big manufacturer, why shouldn't the town laws hell) the local merchant ? It is an Anglo-Saxon characteristic to want to regu late the other fellow, in religion, politics and business, par ticularly when there is a profit in it. The newspapers would like a statute forbidding the use of telephone poles in competition with newspapers, but the council and the people preferred telephone poles, and if newspapers, that pay taxes' rent and payrolls can stand the competition of telephone poles that pay nothing, and fulfill no useful function in the community, and the grocers and b utchers can stand the competition with market, and the confectioners with the ice cream peddlers, the restau rant man ought to be able to compete with the meager saloon lunch. power t aid umi pioloct her groat and grow I iik Interest, "Sum-ago la a duty thai should bo porronnod by ovoi clllaon of ovr Htnto. otherwise democracy Ih it fall, uro; It In iv duly that.

"TpOUR initiative taxation measures, drawn up by a eoni " mittee ot five senatoi-s, seven representatives ap pointed for the purpose by the hist legislalture, with the board of state tax commissioners are being circulated for signatures. The first bill provides for a constitutional amendment giving definite authority for the taxation of incomes. If this amendment is adopted a law can then be enacted carrying out the purpose of the amendment. The in come tax law recently enacted in Wisconsin offei's a splendid basis for such legislation. The purpose of the second bill is to amend Section Ooij-I of Lord's Oregon Laws by placing therein a provision ex empting from taxation all household furniture and effects actually in use in homes; also all wearing apparel and similar personal effects actually in use. This class of personal property is entirely unproductive and its com plete exemption is amply .justified from considerations both of equity and practical efficiency in taxation. The third bill abolishs double taxation and the ini quities of the present system of taxing credits. The' State of Washington several years ago enacted a law to this effect and it has proved highly satisfactory. The fourth measure amends the inheritance tax law to conform to the model law on this subject recommended by the National Tax Association. This model law has re cently been enacted in New York and will doubtless be approved by many other states in the near future. The administrative work under the proposed law is placed in the hands of the Hoard of State Tax Commissioners. si.;- -( -a,"- ..so .t.MF.IUCAN .' w.
