SUBSCRIBE TO THE HIGHWAY.
The Crater Lake highway commission of tho Commer
cial club has begun its campaign for subscriptions to build
& scenic boulevard to the world's greatest natural wonder.
What the mossbacks of the supreme court, through tho
intervention of the Salem hog, has prevented the state
of Oregon from doing will be done by the people of Med
ford, Jackson county and other sections of the state by vol
untary contributions.
Mcdford, undaunted by the failure of its long com-
paign for a highway to the national park a failure due to
the reactionary character and lack of comprehension pn
the part of the provincial citizens of the Willamette val
leyis showing the world a new wrinkle in the way of
aggressive progress, cutting the Gordian knot and solving
the problem in a direct and practical fashion.
The live citizens of Mcdford are freely signing the sub
scription. In the first 30 minutes of solicitation thirty
names were secured, an average of $100 a minute.' In the
first 24 hours of work practically $10,000 has been sub
scribed. Every progressive citizen is placing his name
on the roll of honor, and proving to the entire coast that
Medfordhas the stuff that makes cities, and that Jackson
county is the most enterprising of the counties of Oregon.
The Crater Lake highway subscription will of itself be
the greatest advertisement this community has yet under
taken. It will speak louder to the country at large of the
character of our citizenship than anything else possibly
could, and attract greater attention than the winning of
the sweepstakes prize at the Spokane Apple Show.
After all is said and done, it is the class of citizenship
that makes the city. Energy, enterprise and progressive
ness can create a metropolis and thickly populate a desert,
whereas a place with every natural advantage, whose citi
zenship lacks public spiritedness, will never amount to
anything. Medford not only has the right citizenship, but
the location and the natural advantages. It is to develop
these advantages and make profitable Oregon's greatest
scenic resource that all are signing the popular subscrip
tion to build the Crater Lake highway, to benefit not
only Jackson county, but all Oregon and the entire coast.

It is questionable -whether the council could legally
let paving contracts under the bids made by paving con
tractors Tuesday night. In the first place, determinate
quantities had not been figured, and in the second, no
estimate of cost had been figured by the city arid property
owners did not know what they were signing for when
the residence streets.
The paving bids were all disappointingly high. How
ever, they demonstrated one thing, and that is that the
cost of hard surface pavement is excessive for some of
the residence streets, and that such pavement is unneces
sary. A crushed rock macadam pavement is sufficient for
many of the residence streets. Such pavement has stood
the test of time, and while not equal to a hard surface
pavement, is good enough for the needs of some streets
and has the merit of cheapness, as well as being easily re
paired. Perhaps an oil macadam might fill the bill.
One reason the bids seem high is that the cost of all in
tersections is included. Last year they were not. On
some of the streets, part of the cost of intersections was
figured, but the balance paid by the city. For instance, a
bid of $5.75 per frontage foot including intersections fig
ures $4.15 without intersections.
The city is handicapped through the fact that only
large concerns with extended financial connections are
able to finance the contracts. If the city could pay in cash
instead of in bonds, smaller contractors could figure, but
as it is only large firms can do so.
Owners on certain streets will be content with rock
macadam. Others will want hard surface, and the only
solution is for the city to readvortise for bids, giving de
terminate quantities and specifications for cither hard sur
face or macadamizing, as desired by property owners.
Prospects are new bids will bring cheaper offers all
around and result in material saving to the city, as well as
to the satisfaction of the property owner.
