THE DRILY r Q U Iff, ESTABLISHED IN 1876 A SH tA N D D A ILY T ID IN G S WAY Everyone Should Vote The suggestion that the people of Medford and Ashland refrain from voting on the bounty Unit school plan at the coining election is impractical, and under the circumstances, unwise. Theoretically the suggestion is sound. Thia question is one that does not affect the schools in either oity, and should be decided by the voters in the outside districts, which are affected. But the law provides- otherwise. This measure la on the ballot and there is no way to get it off. Nor is there any way to prevent a large -number of Med­ ford and Ashland voters from marking this ballot, regardless of how much publicity is given to the plea to refrain from voting. In other words, on this question the people of Jackson county face not a theory, but a condition. And the sensible thing is to meet that condition as it exists. InHtead of not voting on thia measure, we believe It would be far better for the people of Medford and Ashland to study the question carefully, obtain as much information upon it as possible and then vote the way they believe to be right. The assumption that the people of Medford and Ashland are for this measure, is no more justified than the assumption they are against i t There is EO more reason to believe thq city vote will aid the proponents of the measure than the opponents. The law prescribes this matter must be decided by the voters of the entire county. As long as that is the law and the manure is on the ballot, the only proper course is to follow out that law. Urging the people of Medford and Ashland not to vote, may aid either side in the controversy, de­ pending npon the disposition of the minority that ig certain to vote regardless of jrach a suggestion. And such a vote, instead of assisting the outside dis- trists in arriving at a solution in which a majority of them believe, might well defeat the will of that majority.—-MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. THE PORUM < a o -n s *\ 't t Ä H T Ä V - CWMTAV > V4HÒIX MAUB «5 M K T « / — ÔCUWLM^J « C l W lM CttH-^HO VL BasebaDitis Southern Oregon towns have been subjected this season to a severe attack of baseballitis. It has hit some localities with such force that funds have been found to put semi-professional teams in the field. For instance, Klamath Falls went into it on a com­ mercial basis and imported a lot of high-salaried men with the result that no games have been lost up to the present * - • Now, the other towns in the league have been faced with the problem of bolstering up their teams with high-paid players or of taking positions at the bottom of the lis t a^d the later alternative hasn’t been at all satisfactory to the fans. The Klamath News intimates that the same policy will be pursued for the second series, as shown by the following editorial: “ Our good friend, Editor Tuttle of the Medford News, a few days ago referred to the appeal being made to Klamath fans for financial support of the local baseball club... “ ‘We would like to know what the directors did with the money they g o t!’ he inquired in his estimable newspaper.' ' ' '• -, “ That’s easy. They spent it gathering together the best basebatlclub ever organised in Southern Oregon; a ball club that has yet* to be defeated by the Medford Pear Pickers, the Grants Pass Cavemen or the Ashland Lithians. They spent their money whipping into shape a team that has already won the championship of the first half of the divided season. From a Klamath standpoint, it wag a good invest­ ment. We fully appreciate Medford’s seeming con­ cern.” Medford has decided that the situation of the olnb in that city is so sente- that steps have been taken to add some higher salaried men to their team. Grants Pass is taking the same attitude and this week added one more man who will take some important position with the team. . While the trend to the addition of these profes­ sionals at high salaries is deplored, it is the only means left to keep up interest in the teams outside of Klamath Falls. The Klamath fans may think they art the only ones who can dig down and support a team. They » are to find that other cities also have baseball fans and are fairly will fixed financially. Klamath hasn’t any monopoly-on ball players and that team is going to be set back considerably before the next series is very old. It will take a united support of local fans to make it possible but we believe they will give it.—GRANTS PASS COURIER. sdtar VMHUT X 'MMslT,' /« C K O NBC* W 1A»V M’ A OANO/ PGAXMR X 0»O IBM /«-• k t . \ .^ÛUSAM.
