VEIL OF SECRECY IttiXT.
Forced by tlie threatened holdup of the bond ismie b.v
other eoiinciiineii, the working nuijority of the water coni-
niittee has broken its long silence and taken the public into
its confidence far enough to admit that no actual choice
of il source of water supply has been made, but that options
have been secured upon W'asson canyon, Fish Lake Ditch
water and the Slinger ranch
Butte, and that final choice depends upon surveys now
being made.
Just what there was so sacred about this information
that the veil of secrecy should be wrapped around the in
formation and the knowledge carefully withheld from Un
people who are paying the bills and who have every right
to know every step taken, when such knowledge does not
block the securing of options, is a mystery to everyone
except the members of the committee.
This information could not in any way interfere with
the committee's plans. It was absurd to withhold it. The
water system is to be built for the property owners and
residents of Medford. The supervision has been entrust
ed to the water committee, and the progress made is of
vital concern to everyone.
The water committee seems to think that a question
as to its progress is a reflection upon the integrity and
honesty of its members. " I f
body else," is the tenor of reply made. No one questions
the honor of any member, but the assumed right of inl'alli
bility and "none of the public's business" policy is assail
able.
A little diplomacy by the committee, a little roi
lion of the rights of the public, would have avoided al
friction. For its own sake,
ful to let the light shine upon
public affairs breeds distrust
Months have elapsed since
a report. Honds were voted
AVasson canyon a permanent
secured. Since then it has been found that less than b;i
the desired quantity is flowing there. What wonder that
with an acute water shortage
want information regarding progress to secure an adt
quale supply 1

.There is nothing surprising
republicans in California, and the triumph of the machine
forces. Jt takes more than oik; skirmish to dislodge a po
litical machine that has been t rimuphant through bribery
for :t() years or more.
(lood government, like liberty, is obtained only by eter
nal vigilance. At tin; least
forces of greed, special privilege and corruption are busy
seeking graft.
The California republican machine, under the lead of
Herein, has managed to control the political destinies of
the (iolil state formally years. It has honeycombed Cal
ifornia with corruption and made its government a farce.
Jt is a true enemy ot the
mends til good government

I'YancisJ. Ilrnev fought
because he had the courage to, there was no abuse too great
to be heaped upon him, and the victory of the machine at
the primary, the triumph of grafters and bribers, is jubi
lantly hailed as a rebuke to those who would punish the
betrayers of the people.
The machine victory in California a machine publicly
rebuked and repudiated by I 'resident Roosevelt- a ma
chine financed by the Southern I'aeit'ic and the big busi
ness interests wanting special favors a machine tbe ally,

and bribe takers can have but one result, a democratic
victory in November.
It invariably follows that when one political party be
comes rotten to t In core, and efforts to reform it within
the party fail, repudiation follows at the polls -and that is
why Mrvan will carry California.
