Delay is , Dangerous
NOTHING which the city council could have done would
play better into the hands of the water company than to
I make it an offer so patently below a reasonable sellingprice
: for its property here. Delay bolsters the company's position
through the return of commodity prices and wastes. Delay
permits the company to continue to take comfortable earn
ings off the property and to make virtually no additions or
, Improvements, worst of all delay will postpone securing a
grant from the federal government for construction of a new
supply system. If the delay is prolonged the city will have
to pay much higher prices for construction work. Provision
for the labor is needed now, this winter. It was a year ago
when The Statesman proposed obtaining the loan and going
ahead with the work. How lucky the city would have been
had it been able to build at the low prices of last winter,
which will probably never again return in our lifetime.
Delay, delay, delay, all this plays into the hands of the
water company, and injures the position of the city. If the
council now proceeds to condemnation of the property the
delay will extend to months and perhaps years. It does seem
that reasonable men ought to get together without so much
horseplay and agree on a fair price. Each could afford to
make some sacrifice rather than have the costs and uncer
tainties of court determination of values.
Some members of the city council believe they will be
able to borrow from the government and put in a competing
system. That does not seem reasonable or fair. Surely the
federal government is not going to make grants which will
make, existing investment valueless. The company through
its connections will resist such grants ; and can undoubtedly
hold the matter up and defeat the application. Meantime
there is delay; no work is provided for idle men; no advant
age is secured of low construction costs.
How much is the property worth? September 30, 1931,
Baar and Cunningham, the city's own engineers, estimated
the value at $875,000. A year and a half later, with prices
at a new low, the same firm estimated the plant as worth
$695,000. Meantime however commodity prices and labor
costs have risen to virtually fall, 1931 levels. The president
himself has announced his determination to restore prices
to levels of around 1924-1925. This means that the 1932
estimate will not1 hold now and will not hold as time passes.
Going back to 1926 the city's own engineer, Ernest Willard,
csuiuateu i'um tvw,vvv. look, vlsloning a still better day
delays tne greater tne prospect oi prices reacuuig io ieveis. j dawning for the mentally Inflict
Certainly it would seem more reasonable for the city to use ed. His voice, as that of one cry
" the first estimate of Barr and Cunningham, $875,000, as a
basis to figure on. In any event the offer of $705,000 is not
reasonable, in view of what has happened since the time the
last estimate was made. That offer is not even intelligent.
j What irks us is delay. We have steadfastly supported
acquisition of the water system by the people. We want this
accomplished at the earliest possible moment at a fair price.
Delay will prove more costly to the city than raising its ante
some now. , It is not fair dealing for the municipality to. put
a gun at the head of the. company and force it to sell at costly
sacrifice to the investors who own its bonds and stocks.
These individuals are just as human as the voters of this city.
The council would do well to go into a private huddle, formul
ate a mice ranee for its committee to negotiate within, and
nnre speed. When a price is finally agreed on it will take all
i hands at the wheel to get the federal government to advance
'money to buy the plant, as well as to finance the new con
struction."

Puree of the Jackson County Feudists
mHE conviction of Judge Earl Fehl of Jackson county by a
JL jury in Klamath county on a charge of ballot theft is the
last nail in the coff m of the Medford insurrectionists lea Dy
L. A. Banks, convicted murderer, and by Judge Fehl. Con
sidering the bitterness and tension which the Jackson county
feud aroused, it is nothing short of remarkable that five men
have been convicted of the crime. That Judge Fehl, whose
actual narticination in the lif tine of the ballots was not
charged, and whose connection was that of a conspirator, al-
tvavs difficult to nrove. was found guilty in a neutral court
in a county where feelings had not been aroused should be
adeauate Droof of the desperate character of the venture
which Banks And Fehl were engaged in. They had visions
not only of seizing the government of Jackson county, but of
spreading their power to a wider area. In a season of wide
spread social unrest it was not bej'ond the bound of possibil
ity that they might have succeeded.
- i That they did not succeed is due to the courageous battle
led by reputable citizens of Medford who were determined to
save their county from the misrule ot the "gooa government
congress", and by the Medford Mail-Tribune which in the
face of a slanderous campaign against it, fought for genuine
"law and order" in Jackson county. In a time of civic crisis
. like that, it was easy for fence-straddlers to cling to their
roosts, to refuse to take sides for fear of injuring their busi
ness. Thank God, there were men and women in Medford
who had courage enough to take sides; and enough of them
to take a stand for sanity and real good government. The
gratitude of the state is due to them, for the disease which
attained growth there, was ready to overrun the state.
It is fortunate too that the clean-up had been complete.
Even the Oregonian after the Banks conviction, proposed
that pending cases be dropped and peace be restored. That
would have meant to overlook felonies, to continue in office a
sheriff and a county judge who had conspired against the
very foundation of orderly government, the right of the
people to express themselves at the ballot Local Issues would
not haV been settled; and the old feud would have cropped
out at the next local election. Kow. while there still remain
a few cases to be tried, the rout of the Medford f actionists
has been complete; and that beautiful city should enjoy a
season of respite fro mthe factional strife which culminated
in robbery and murder. ' .

Former Commissioner of Health,
Few Tors City
IF YOU have not recently cleaned
out the domestic medicine chest do-
so now. TMs timely suggestion Is
urged by the department of health
of tha state of
Maryland.
-The medicine
chest Is likely to
contain many
bottles and boxes
that should have
been discarded
long . ago. They
may contain
medicines that
have spoiled and
become a menace
to health.
as a role, the
family medicine
chest contains aa
assortment of
soiled flrst-ald
dressings aad various medications, of
doubtful value. Many of the bottles
are poorly labeled and others are
without labels. Serious accidents
have resulted from the wrong use of
such bottles. - Often In an emergency
a needed medicine cannot be found
because ot the disorderly arrange
ment ot the chest, or the defective
labeling.
Discard Unlabeled Bottles
Whea you clean the medicine chest
discard every single unlabeled nettle
Never trust to memory. Separate
the bottles that contain poisons and
keep them away from the harmless
drags. Thm will prevent the risk ot
taking a wrong bottle when tn
hurry or excited because ot an accl
dent. Place aU the bottles and boxes
ia position so that the labels can be
dearly seea and easily read before
the drug Is put te use.
X want te warn every reader about
the danger of chocolate and sugar-
covered pills. These tablets should
be kept wen beyond the reach of aU
children. Cathartic and laxative pins
of this type are a common source of
eanger te children. Usually they are
ef a bright color, eaoeolate-covered
ana attractive to a child. They con
tain, in many cases, strong drugs
and whea taken la quantities are
dangerous aad may . prove fatal
Ifaay servients occur whea-chndreo-
mistake such tnedtttne tot candy.
Drugs marked "poisonous", should
have lam and clear labels. Thev
should never be taken except W the
exact amount prescribed by the phy
sician. It Is a good plan to discard
these medicines as soon as possible
It Is dangerous to place them oa the
shelf for further use.
Lose Valae With Age
Bear tn mind that most medicines
spell tn time. The curative value la
lost with age. Ia many Instances
their use may lead te serious In
testinal disturbances.
Now Is the time to clean the cabi
net and put It la order. Get rid of
all the old things that are useless.
See to it now and do not postpone
this needed cleaning ot the family
medicine chest.
Accidents occur even in the best
regulated of households. It Is essen
tial to have oa hand always a good
supply ot sterile gause, cotton, band
ages, a bottle ot borlo acid solution.
tincture of iodine and other flrst-ald
medications. When an accident oc
curs, you should be able without
hesitation to pick from the medicine
cabinet the neeeesary materials. Con
fusion and disorder of the medicine
chest are hindrances that should be
unnecessary.
