Some say a million and even a million and a half. No one can be deceived by such statements. The new high school building in Medford, many, many times larger than the present court house and large enough for a county courthouse cost only $165,000 complete. It. I. Stuart and Son, building contractors have examined the blue prints of the courthouse at Grants Pass anti assert that the Josephine County Coftrt House can be duplicated today, tile, marble and all at present building costs for $133,000, that one twice that size with tile, marble and everything can be built for around $200,000 or $210,000. Will anyone say that a building, twice the size of the Grants Pass courthouse all fixed up with • it ’s tile exterior, and marble interior is not large "enough and expensive enough for Jackson County’s needs! Building’contractors further state that it will cost practically the same to provide adequate quart ers in Jacksonville, whether the county court dis cards tffe present building and builds a new building or whether it tries to make use of the present build ing by remodeling, fir-proofing and otherwise mak ing it up-to-date. The County court has stated that provision for a new court house must be made either in Jack sonville or Medford. The only issue before the voters November 2nd is whether the new building shall be constructed at Jacksonville, convenient to about 2500 people or at Medford where the con" venience of the remaining 22,500 will be best served. The question for Vie voter is not'whether the county will get along with the present quarters by making some small additions at little cost to the taxpayers as against building a new building in Medfor<Lbut the real question is whether the county shill tax the people now. to build an adequate build ing costing $200,000 to $210,000 at Jacksonville or whether the county seat shall be removed to Med ford, thus obviating the necessity of levying any tax now'for the building of a court house. In other words the ultimate cost to the tax payers will be the same, whether the county seat remains in Jacksonville or is moved to Medford. But there is this difference, that if the county seat remains in Jacksonville the county court will have to* levy an immediate tax to re-model the present building or build a new court house, while if the county seat is moved to Medford no tax will be needed for five or ten years at the end of which time the people of the county will be better able than now to build a court house. Other People’s Children Western Oregon enjoys the advantage of pos sessing fine facilities for training the teachers of our children, having normal school in Monmouth and Ashland. These institutions, however, do not serve the vast inland empire of eighteen counties in east ern and central Oregon, and the rsult is that the children of that great section of Oregon are now denied the opportunitis afforded the western part of this state. The natural division of the territory east of the Cascades constitutes a geograplueal bar from our present normal schools, yet two-thirds of the area Of the state is contained in eastern Oregon. In this great section there are eighty high schools, 'With an nrollment of 5500, but the children are handicapped by the lack of trained educators, who cannot afford to ‘travel long distances to attend normals located in western Oregon. As a matter of simple justice and fairness to the thousands of ehildrea of eastern Oregon the people should consider carefully the measure 8n the ballot known as the Eastern Oregon Normal School bill. Its pro(>oneuts are merely asking tho same treatment now accorded the young people of the western jmrt of Orqgon. The affirmative humber on the ballot is 310. More than eighty-five ¡icr cent of the county and city superintendents of Oregon favor this measure, urging that the great inland empire should have the privilege and facilities for training its, own youth who would l>e better adapted to se n e their people as teachers and who would lie a i»ennaueut asset to Oregon. - ■ .
