THE D fllü Y TIDINGS EDITORIAL ESTABLISHED D i 1876 G. J. READ, Managing Editor ASOLÀND DAILY TID IN G S THE COUNCIL’S POLICY In another part of todays paper will be found a resolution unanimously adopted at last nights council meeting. This resolution has more significance than the usual nrusty, moldy Wlidreas’s and Therefore’s that adorn customary resolutions that a legislative body adopts. • . In this resolution unanimously, and regularly paased seven men, all of them well known citizens, all of ilsem enjoying the respect and confidence of those with whom they conic in daily contact, all of them hearing a reputation for honesty and integrity that is al»ove reproach, solemly hind themselves to do certain things regarding the future of Ashland, . provided they receive the necessary consent from the voters. And now lets see just what these men, pub licly declare they will do. 1 First—They go on record, as pledging themselves, to build, a reservoir for the city of Ashland, and to make needed improvements in the city distribution system, at tlje lowest^i^ssible cost, and furthermore that in the event bonds to the amount of $450,000 are voted to only issue the amount necessary to do the job right. Second—They further pledge themselves,, to give every possible site in Ashland creek, due considera- -tion, and declare that they as tax payers of this city, are just as anxious that the reservoir he economi cally and projierly located as the refit of the citizenry. In the preamble to the resolution, it is set forth that they have acted only upon the advice of compet ent engineers, and from the store of data at their command. In other words, they have not advanced one single pet theory of their own. They have not relied upon their own general, knowledge of the situa tion to find a solution for the communities needs. They have secured the best talent available in order to get the facts* Having these facts they are ready . to act In so doing they are but fulfilling the obli gation they-assumed when they took office* ~ We commend this resolution to the people of Ashland. It deserves your most careful considera tion. We know from our eon tact with these men that there never was aunore <cencientiohf} instrument drawn. We know that the inspiration Sifek o ( it wM^ only that the people might know exactly what woultT he done, to just what length the members as individ uals and as servants of the people, would go to serve their city. It is a sincere statement, and deserves your most careful consideration. Read it carefully. ASHLAND SHOULD BE PROUD “ If the Southern Oregon Normal school does not make the substantial growth and success that we have eVery reason to expect, it will not be the fault of the people of Ashland.” Concluding his gen eral remarks while acting as chairman of the Cham ber of Commerce Forum Luncheon yesterday, Presi- m w ic « . v u i p u t u e u i a t ins coinmana, or that any com munity con Id expect to have bestowed upon it, by a man in his position, with the above statement.

They have made kmwn the fact in unmistakable terms, that when the proposition is right, when those projects which stand for the better things in life, come up for con sideration, there is a whole soulcd cooperative move ment that spells SUCCESS in capital letters. It has been demonstrated in the past, President Churchill gives concrete evidence of it, at present, and we know that it will be ever so in the future.

I t was cir cus day and the children of the surrounding blocks had all by one inetuod or another won admission to the big tent on the hill east of the town. Yet not quite all the children. For under one of the oak trees was a baby carriage in which a little girl of two lay fast asleep. And far above her, perched lightly but firmly in a swaying fork of the j oak, was a long-legged girl of , twelve. She sat where she coul<j j peer easily down on her small sleeping sister, yet high enough to be completely hidden from casual view. She was a thin youngster, . with short curling hair of yellow. The curly hair did not hide the fine square head, a noble head for so small a girl, set well on the little square shoulders. Her wyes were blue and Mack lashed, her nose nondescript, her mouth large, her chin square and her little jaw line long und pronounced. She wore a soiled sailor suit of blue galatea. Caught In the crotch of two opposite branches was a doll almost as large as the sleeping child below. It was a queer, old- fashioned doll, with a huge china head that displayed brilliant black hair and eyes as blue as those of; her little mistress.
