OUT OUR WAY
By Williams
The Court House
Propaganda either careless or deliberate is
being circulated to the effect that regardless of tire
fact that Medford has offered to give the county the
free use of a modern concrete building containing
approximately twice the area of the present court
house, that somehow, someway; if the county seat
be moved to Medford, the taxpayers will be called
upon to build a half million dollar building. 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.
