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.

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.
