TO A SSUItE SECURITY.
A pertain bank advertises: "This is a safe bank, the
United States treasury deposits with it."
The bank in question is a safe bank, as all other loeal
banks are, but it is not made safe by treasury deposits,
though the government is made safe before a deposit is
made.' Interest-bearing securities must be deposited with
the United States treasury before the treasury trusts any
of its money with a bank.
Government and state require guarantee before depos
iting; why not give the humble citizen a -guarantee also
that his savings will be safe?
"Guaranteed deposits" means that the savings of the
masses shall be secured so that when men and women de
posit their bard earned money in banking institutions they
need not worry for fear it will be lost. This has been ac
complished in Oklahoma by a small tax upon deposits.
which provides a fund out of which the shortages of failed
banks are paid.
The democratic national platform says: "We pledge
ourselves to legislation by which the national banks shall
be required to establish a guaranty fund for the prompt
payment of the depositors of any insolvent national haul
under an equitable system which shall be available to all
state banking institutions wishing to use it."
Mr. Taft is openly hostile to all guaranty systems, but
the small depositors are as much entilled to protection as
the nation is. A bank guaranty plan, such as that suggest
ed by Bryan, works for the benefit of both banks and de
positors. During Jorty years the average annual loss to
depositors in national banks has been less than one-tenth of
one per cent of the deposits, and think of the suffering such
a light tax would save ,ai)d the feeling of security it would
provide both banker and depositor.
TIME FOR ACTIOS IS SO II'.
The rains of the past week have swept out the racks
placed across the Rogue below Grants Pass by the United
State fish bureau, allowing the fish to ascend the stream
Most of them are, however, effectually prevented from as
cending the stream by the faulty i'ishwavs over the dams,
A visit to the dams will convince the most skeptical.
.In one iish ladder the lish can get half way up, and there
they arc blocked in a solid mass. In another they can't
find the fishway; it is the one up the channel and has but
little water coming through. In the third fishway there
are other faults as glaring.
Enough can lie seen at a glance to show that in low-
water the Jisliways are an 4 useless. Now is the time
for (lie fish warden to act, as inaction will force the people
io laicc matters into their own hands to seek a remedy
in order to prevent the destruction of angling on the
Rogue.
THE WAT EH PROPOSITIOSS.
The cost of the water propositions before the people
h as follows: Rogue River, pipe and pumping plant (per
contractor's bid) $ 1!)7,S( K); Fish Lake ditch, pipeline,
154,100; Big Butte Springs, flume ami pipe, .f'Jb'-J, 110
(flume $110,000, pipeline, reservoir, etc, per contractor's
bid $152,410).
If a pumping plant is chosen, it will l. the Kay propo
sition and mean a saving in initial expenditure of from
$50,000 t o 1)5,000.
If a gravity system, the choice is between Fish Lake
ditch water, 1215 inches in quantity delivered to the city
for $151,100, or IKK) inches of Big liutte Springs water for
1,(L,41(), both within the amount of money available. In
case the latter proposition is accepted, it means the estab
lishment of a large mill with a payroll of 150,000 a year
upwards.

A nOMMTTNTCATIONS. ' '
To the Editor: I have read wit" In
terest tho Medford (Jotheiburif
ciation proposal of handling J'
loon, in our city nd think .t h,Kl
.1..., , honorable mayor ami
city council did mtl tliinkinK of
their own, and not allow any kind of
a proposition or propositi offered by
nverv Torn, Dick nml Harry whoever
sees fit to present one pertaining to
any deal to pass through their hands
and over their signatures without giv
ing it more thought and carry it out us
a business deal on business basis, as if
thev were iuteres-'d in it both finan
cially and personally.
This signing up with nny company or
corporation to sell for n term of years
everything the city hns is nil bosh, and
the sooner more brainB are instilled
into our city council the better off the
city will be in every shape and form.
Saloons enn bo handled in our city
and by our city nnd made to pay a
good revenue without the aid of any
company or corporation, nnd I beg to
givo herewith my idea of handling the
situation of that kind.
First Ifavo the city council pass an
ordinance limiting the saloons, bars,
family lirjuor stores or agencies of nny
kind to one for every 1100 inhabitants.
The granting of a license must cover
for 1000 inhabitants thereof, and no
license allowed or issued for nny part
of 1000 whatnver. For example, if
Medford has .1S00 people she would be
entitled to five saloons and the bnl
mice of 800 would be carried over until
Mill ford reached a population of (1000,
and nothing less, nnd then another li
conBC could or can be issued to cover
this 1000.
On the first dny of nny month, ns
decided by the council, of year, they
advertise for bids for tho sale of the
licenses for a period of one year, mak
ing the minimum nmont $1000, with
tho council's option of raising this min
imum ns it sees fit.
Council having full nuthority to re
.jeet nny or all bids submited nnd re
advertise for moro. One party may
bid for ono or moro licenses ns it sees
fit, council could neeept tlio same or
reject it in euso tho sumo was for the
total amount, and nsk for new bids for
this part that has been rejected.
This would bring to tho city the first
year, taking the same on the minimum
amount for fivo saloons, .foOOO, which
is the same ninount the Medford Ooth
enburg association nffcrn.
Tho next year it will bring moro rev
enue, nnd so on each year, and the end
of the ten years Medford will receive
from this source nlone at least half
again ns much ns tho Medford Gothen
burg association offers.
Why, then, tie up with tliemt
Also include in this ordinance pass
ed by the council that eneh licenso is
issued only on tin basis thn each one
receiving the same must keep at all
times the windows freo from obstruc
tions, so that, a pasorby may look from
one end of the room to the other nnd
no partitions of nny kind lo cut off
the view.
This would force thoin to conduct
the same in nn orderly manner nnd
illow everyouo to see in them just ns
they do now in dry goods and grocery
slori'S of our citv.
There nro nlso ninny other minor mat
ters to be included that could be ndded
lis wanted at thp time, nnd these points
carry with them more detail that it is
not necessary to explain herewith.
T think the nbove explains ilseli'
fully enough to show that tho doai
offered by this Modforil Ootlienbiirg
association is rotten to the core.
Let our council got busy nnd use the
thinking powers that their mothers gave
tliein. Yours trulv,
A. HAII.Y HEADER.

Purity and More

"Water is put up in all its nat
ural purity. This might
mean little if I should stop
there. However, the quality
of this water is such that
most doctors in the valley of
the llogiie recommend it for
weak stomachs and kidneys.
And, as an ounce of preven

why not use it at the table

Many
signs of this character about Medford. We
always find a desirable tenant before a good
building lias been "to let" more than 24
hours, and land owners know we can always
find a purchaser if a reasonable valuation is
put on property. Consequently Medford
does not impress the honieseeker as beiug
"under the hammer." This is as it should
be.
