THE PROHIBITION PARTY.
What's the use of a national prohibition party
The question is proposed by the flying visit to Medford
Monday of Eugene W. Chal'in.
For the forty years the national prohibition-party has
been in the lield it has accomplished nothing. What has
been done for the cause of prohibition has been accomplish
ed through local option laws and state movements and the
Anti-Saloon league.
As a national party, the prohibition party is a needless,
excuseless superfluity. Even those who believe in prohibi
tion will not desert their parties to vote for the prohibition
candidate for president.
A political party, to become a national party, must
represent many issues, not narrow itself to one, and that
a theoretical and impractical one, in no wise vital to the
life of the nation and its toilers.
Prohibition is a local issue. Every community prac
tically can settle the problem as it pleases. It is not a na
tional issue, and should it ever so become, it will be through
the capture of one of the old parties by those who believe
in prohibition, and not through the prohibition party.
What is the use of Mr. Cha fin's making a campaign 1
Even the lovers of temperance will not vote for him. Jt is
a waste of energy, time and money that accomplishes
nothing.
VASHI-OTO.N, Sept. 8. The foreat
liumau i giving considerable emphasis
Ihia iumuier to the protective revenues
that stutes are going to receive from
the national forests. In this connection
it is dwelling much upon the possibili
ties of a good income from forests in
California. It appears that the forests,
under the charge of the federal gov
ernment in that state, now yield more
than the national forests iu any other
state from what is called "special
nso business." This includes money
paid for the use of water power devel
oped within national forests. The state
of California, a bureau bulletin says,
will receive about oi!,000 a year on
account of water power rents.
The bit; fight between congress and
tho president over proposed legislation
on this subject has not been settled. It
will probably bo renewed tho coming
winter, although at a short session it
is hardly .to be expected that a gen
eral law, such as the president wants,
can bo passed, l'owerful corporation in
terests in California have sent repre
sentatives here to present their side of
tho case, but tho efforts to enact a
statute that would givo tho water pow-
r companies he best of things, have
thus far been thwarted.
California is also ouo of tho three
lending states for the past year in the
amount of timber sales from national
forests. Tho proceeds to tho statu from
these Bales, under tho 25 por cent clause
will be over tSO.OOU it is now officially
state. The timber on national rorests
iu California is comparatively very ec
ccssible. The largo population in ter
ritory closo to tho California national
forests is another factor.
The revenues from graz.log on those
forests is large and is growing but tho
grazing business on national forcstB is
now largest in Idaho, Oregon ami Utah
Tho burouu is actively promulgating
information about the grazing of such
lands for sheop.
Just received, a complete
line of water bags, syringes
and everything in the rubber
line, each article guaranteed.
WATER QUESTION PUBLICITY.
Had the water committee given publicity to its consid
erations last spring, the discussion over the problem, which
is now convulsing the city, would have long ago ceased
and the chances are that a source of supply been settled
upon, agreeable to council and people.
Whatever decision is made, the people must be taken
into consideration, for it. is their money that is paying
the bills, and to attempt to decide upon any system no
meeting public approval will result in proline in junction
suits.
Of course, every man hi Medford, even though he has
not seen the different sources of supply, has constituted
himself a hyd ran lit; engineer and is gravely deciding points
at issue. But there is just so much talk that has to be in
dulged in, anyway, and the sooner it is through with the
sooner the problem will be settled.
All inquiry and discussion is a good thing in public
business and should be welcomed bv officials.
