There is a restaurant and a nursery of fice, but no place for the passenger to stand or sit. Meals are sold and trees are sold, but no tickets. If the Southern Pacific will only lease its right of way at a dollar a vear, we will all go into the business of erect- u,-.i.u fnr rent mi the eitv's Diuiii thoroughfare.

These figures are nearly double . i . , .... . : those of a year ago on n mil oi me reaseu rates ijui, m ,.fCi.ft last winter, bill not nearly what they should be. Aiildi.nd. with no more inhabitants than Medford, has water receipts from three to four times the size of Med f..v,l. The fact that the (Iranile City has a belter water a,,nr,lv docs not account for the difference in receipts for the water departments oMIic two cities. In June Ash hind's water rentals at a lower average rale than those in effect in Medford, totaled $2100. Medford totaled 71. a difference of over $1700, due to poor management. Whether il is incompetence in the water department, or defective measuring apparatus, or some other excuse, the fact remains that Medford realizes less from water than any city its size. The rates are high enough, but con sumers are not forced to pay for the water actually sup plied. About a million gallons of water is pumped a day in Medford in summer. This is supposed to be sold at 10 .nts ner 1000 trillions, which would be an income of about $100 a day. Instead of Ibis, the actual income is $20, or 2 cents per 1000 gallons. "What becomes of the balance. Why is it not collected Take one instance which (lie shows the management : A business block pays from $.") to $K a month for water. But little water is used. There arc no dentists, barbers or oilier large water consumers in the building. The owner alse has a good-sized residence, a large family and a lawn, which is kept green through constant use of water. The water rental al his home was $1.2" for June and he used at least Ion times the ipianlily of water used in the block. Take most any lawn that is kept green. Examine the water bill, look at the meter. Yoii will see the discs fail to revolve. This shows where pari of the trouble lies. But it does not explain nil. Why arc not these meters inspected and kept, in repair? No individual or firm would run his business as the city runs its water department. If private ownership obtained, water used would be paid for and water rentals would o(tial those id' Ashland. Why is water used not paid for liowY Why is it not ehargeiW Municipal ownership of a lighting plant proved a fail ,;ure in Medford on j tint id' the inefficiency and incom petency in those trusted by the city to manage it. Private ownership is not a failure, simply because business met hods are applied. Municipal ownership of waler in Medford has always been a failure, for the same reason that lighting was a fizzle. But there is no good reason why il should be. 1 1 is not a failure in Ashland, in Baker City or other towns the size of Medford. Have Ihese places any more brains or ability or honesty than Med ford I Why, then, can Medford not secure efficient management of municipal affairs If with the present inexpensive waler system, income sulticictil to tiav expenses cannot be realized, bow ean Ibe municipality hope to make hot li ends meet mulct- a far niort expensive plant with many limes the investment? If tin city cannot secure and retail water at a profit from a stream in the heart of the cilv, how can it expect to front a stream 20 miles away? It is up to the municipal anl horil ics anil lo the water department to prove capacity and ability by running tin present system at a profit, for lite water is here and tin consumers are here, and the profit should be. If this can not be done, they should not be trusted with a costly sys torn, for management which cannot make a small bnsincs with a proportionately large income pay, cannot make tin same business with a much greater capitalization and but slightly enlarged income pay.
