AMilnnd, Ore., Monday, Oct. 0, 1010 JOIN NOW. Every loyal Ashlander, every resi dent of this city who Is able to scare up a dollar a month which Is not ab solutely needed for the necessities of life, should hand in his application for membership in the Ashland Com mercial Club. No other fee or pay ment is required. This organization is now squarely on Us feet and every ,1ollar pMd In each month will be efficiently and economically expend ed toward building up Ashland, The city council has been liberal in fixing "ji.p the new room In splendid shape, and the recent move now provides the club with neat and centrally located quarters and at the same time has re duced operating expenses so that the flub is free to do bigger things. The club has been reorganized by . the enlargement of the board of trus tees and the fourteen members who ere now at the head of the organiza tion are "live1' ones, every one a busi ness man whose ability has been prov en in the business world. These men, -with the liberal and. enthusiastic co operation of every citizen of Ashland who desires to see things really move with some force In the right direction, can accomplish permanent results. The club Is the legitimate and effect ual agency through which great things for Ashland can be undertak en and put through. It is absolutely unhampered by any of the official or serai official red tape and legal re quirements governing the actions of an elective board or organization, and is thus flexible and easily adapted to quick and decisive action whenever necessary. The one dollar per month Is needed from every member, but be yond the mere need of the money and iflttttl.lt.il nti.tiPitntftnitr NATIONAL.

Every time a man sells land for a fair value to some one who will use it for agriculture or for house con struction, he helps on the productive forces of the community. A movement is on foot to secure a circulating library in Ashland on a small scale. One hundred people are wanted to buy a book each at one dollar and from this select! n a good start will be made.

Fresno, Cal., Herald: The people of the United SHntes are on the brink of suffering from their own laws, and from their own failure to invest igate the management of railroads from the point of view of what is best for the railroads, what is best for railroad employes and what is best for the people. We have In this county some forty nine commissions one to every state which are picking at the railroads first iu one state and then another until the railroads do not know what to do. Government by commission is only satisfactory when there is one resident of Ashland. Join the club now and begin to boost without fur ther delay. Show yourself and your associates what you really can do. Be a helper and a booster and a good fellow and see the surprising results all around. LAND VALUES. centralized commission, with central- greater than the dollar need is the izeQ Interests, and which rules for all call for the united backing of every tlie railroads ln all parts of the coun try. It Is obviously ridiculous, for In stance, to have one state demand such a rate for Interstate commerce and for another adjoining state to demand a different rate, either high er or lower. This situation merely means that the railroads are operat ing under different conditions in every state. The railroads are left in an even worse condition than ever, for now they are not only subject to control by forty-nine commissions, but by congress as well. How do they know what to expect? How can they plan for the future? They have no security that some state will not take a fall out of them next. In thts period of readjustment there are just two courses open for the proper management: one is gov ernment ownership; the other Is one federal commission having full power over the roads. It Is impossible that the railroads favor government ownership, but There are a great many -young men who would like to go into farm ing on their own account. But they are deterred by the high cost of land. Real estate offered low usually has some defect. Commonly it lacks ac cess by good roads. Or It may need much hard work and expense to pre pare the soil. A recent government report speaks of the targe amount of potentially good land lying idle In many states. It says that much of it is being held speculatively for higher values. It is certainly unfortunate that with food scare and high would-be land owners can not get well-located farms with good soil at moderate they would undoubtedly receive with prices. The old phrase about belli? "land poor" applies to many people. A persuasive agent induces them to buy at a good price a tract which he promises will advance in value. It Is often in Bonie distant city or state which the buyer never visited. He pays taxes year after year, often charges. A decade later he finds the land Is worth no more than he paid for it. lie Is out his expenses and the interest the money would have drawn in a bank. Meanwhile by placing a fancied value on it, he has discouraged people who would have paid a fair price and made it pro ductive as a farm or for dwellings. High prices for land tend to make rentals high, to discourage house building and farm Investment. Conservative business men deplore land speculation. It does enrich a small class of shrewd men who see .possibilities early. But others find open arms the dictates of one commission. ASHLAXI) HO! so (By M. E. Hampton.)
