CHICAGO, May 2. Besides dftor

Published evory evening except Sunday per eeut.fl tlio railroad in the "oBicial
Medford Publishing Company. classification " territory have agreed to
" Udd considerably to the burdens of the
O. PUTNAM, Editor and Manager. MiliI)l.rs uf package freight. At the
smno meeting ut which the rate in
creases were decided upon, the repre-ai-iitutivca
of more than 400 railroads
nerved that after July 1 they will not
. .
receive for Hhipment any pncKiigua in .
less tlmil enrload lota which ore not
marked plainly with the uuino of the
consignee, the station and atnte of eon
nignee, the Million, city anil statu or
destination.
It is estimated that this action will
save the railroads in tho territory east
of the Mississippi river aud north of
tho Ohio river to the seaboard, at
lease $2,0110,000 annually in loss aad
damage claims. On the other hand, it
will cost the shippers of package
freight probably as much, or even more,
tu perform the actual work required in
marking the shipments as prescribed
by the railroads. It is also stated by
the shippers that it will make impossi
ble any secrecy regarding tho Identity
of the customers of any business house
On the contrary, any business house
muy, after the new rules go into effect,
station men at railroad warehouses and
learn in detuil nil about the shipments
of competitors, to whom shipped and in
what amounts. That this will have a
tremendous effect upon this class of
business is confidently asserted.
PLEDGED TO STATEMENT NO. 1.
UP TO THE VOTERS.
Today practically ends the campaign
In Jackson county, in woll as tho rest
of tho state. It is up to the peuple to
ay whether they want n continuance
of ring rule in county affairs or wheth
er they want a now deal.
Present officials aeeaing eiecwun ,n....
pat on their records. They justify the
increase ' in nsaossnient of 116 2 3 per
cent and the high tnx'es following. They
iustifv tho poor roads, the lack of re
pairs on bridges, and all the omissions
and commissions of tho courthouse ring
and brnaenly promise n' continuance
They have practically concealed from
tho Diiblle tho conditions of their vn
rious offices. They have refused to
oxoert tho books, so that (he people
inlirht know in whnt condition Ihe
county's finances were. They have
covered up shortages and have stood to
gclher in the defonso of ench other and
in carrying out tho policy of secrecy
that has prevailed for several years.
Tai collections have been hopeless
lv muddled, huudreds of names left off
of the ussessmeut rolls, county finances
managed for tho benefit of certain In
atitutlons, properly on which tnres have
been paid has found ita way Into the
delinquent list, whilo double and thrihlc
assessments are by no means rare.
If the poople wish a continuance of
these conditions they will undoubtedly
re-elect both Judge Dunn aad Sheriff

JUDOB DUNN'S ADMISSION.
In one of bis numerous open letters
County Judge Dunn admits that ho re
duced the assessed vnluntlon on the
nolo lines of tho Condor Water i Pow
or company before slapping tho lit) 2 8
per cent tncreaao beeauso "They should
not bo raised beyond the sum for which
they wore assessed," which was ap
proximately the cost.
The board of eqnnlircition did not
show corresponding solicitude for other
taxpayers. If tho corporation's pole
lines should not be assessed above their
eost, why should other property! Why
should nionoy on deposit in banks be
assessed at 06 2-3 per cent more than
the actual amount of cash represent

THE REAL ISSUE,
Do not fail to remember that Stale
lnent No, 1 ia the real issue in the state
campaign, whether or not legislators
elected by the people shnll be servants
of tho people and carry out their in
structions or -whether the legislators
shall run things.
The iusue is elearcut between the
people and tho bosses. Tho triumph of
Statement rto. J at the polls means the
triumph of popular government. The
defeat of Statement No. 1 means the
restoration of machine rule, of the day
of bribery and corruption.
