AN ATTEMPTED HOLDUP.
MEDFORD wants the Hill line and should do every
thing possible to make its entrance into the city
an easv one.
The Hill line comprises a total of 15,000 miles of rail
road and to have Medford a terminal point means every
thing to the future of the city.
Hill's railroad will furnish another outlet for fruit to
the markets of the world. It will afford a means of mak
ing Medford a distributing as well as a manufacturing
center. It will be a leading factor in the development of
both country and city, for there can be no extensive de
velopment without railroads.
The Hill people pay as they go. They ask no subsidies
and no bonus. They demand only a square deal. Attempts
to hold them up for exorbitant amounts are not square
deals. i?timn
Such an attempt that is delaying and may block the
entrance of the Hill railroad inlo Medford is being made.
Efforts to secure a right of way across the I. J. Phipps
alfalfa ranch along Bear creek bottom, at a fair figure,
having failed, condemnation proceedings have had to be
resorted to. K ' ' 8 i S SHIOH
AYliilc the railroad was trying to negotiate with Mr.
Phipps, lie optioned the place to C. E. "Woolverton, who is
said to have made a small payment down, at an alleged
valuation far in excess of the actual valuation of the prop
erty. This has the appearance of being done to liold up
the railroad, for Messrs. Phipps and "Woolvertoii demand,
for the 1.76 acres required for right of way, $S000, and an
additional $30,700 for "damages."
The land lies outside the city limits along Bear creek.
Of the 1.76 acres wanted, 1.15 acres is meadow land, the
balance washed out creek bottom. It is absurd to claim
that this land is worth $1500 a lot cut into small town lots.
It is equally ridiculous to claim that the railroad will dam
age the property. In fact, it will enhance its value, as it
will make it desirable for numerous purposes, whereas it
cannot be sold for town lots today.
Adjoining property owners asked and received $500
an acre for property needed by the railroad, and an at
tempt to secure $38,700 for 1.76 acres is "hold-up," pure
and simple, and should be frowned upon by the community,
for it is not the Medford spirit.
THE
TN THE current issue of Hampton's Magazine, Hen
- rietta Crosman, whose acting so delighted Medford
theatergoers last week, has an article on so-called "dra
matic schools," which every stage-struck girl, and there
are many, even in Medford, should read.
The dramatic school is usually a despicable graft, where
mediocre maidens are encouraged in the belief that they
have "talent" in exchange for their money.
The stage presents an unaccountable attraction for silly
young girls. At some stage in her life, nearly every sweet
young thing, flattered by relatives and friends, conceives
the idea that she has talent, and if opportunity offers, falls
a willing victim to the unscrupulous fakir, who cares only
for her coin. That this entails a needless sacrifice of
womanhood is made plain by Miss Crosman, who summa
rizes as follews:
"Girls, do you really feel that you must go on the stage?
Are you sure that years from now you will not be a total
failure as an actress and as a woman? For the odds are
great that if you are not successful on the stage you your
self will follow the path that so many others have trod.
Necessity is a difficult thing to face, and necessity makes
many a woman do a lot of things she would not think of
doing if there were any other way to face the condition
that confronts her after failure. I could tell you cases of
girls by the score, girls T myself
from their simple country ways to an acceptance ot the
mean licentiousness of the big cities after reaping the in
evitable fruit of original incompetence. The pity of it is
that all this annual contribution of bright-eyed, ambitious
young womanhood to failure
one bit, has not added one per cent of worthy acting to the
annals of the stage.
"I want "you to understand that to one with genuine,
talent and they are comparatively few the stage is
just as safe as a business office. But the stage attracts
more young women without an iota of talent than the busi
ness office. It is terrifying to consider the legion of young
people absolutely unfitted for stage success, who, after
trying in vain, sink to the easiest and briefest way of mak-
mg a living.
"There is a great deal of talk today about the conserva
tion of inanimate things. I think there should be a greater
conservation, the conservation of humanity. And as for
that portion of humanity with which I am in constant
touch, I know that the sacrifice of American girls unsuited
to the stage is criminally unnecessary, and that there could
be a worthy conservation here; the conservation of our
daughters in their homes."

CITY CHARTER AMENDMENTS
City Attorney Porter J. Noff Answers Criticism nntl Tolls tho Why
ami Wherefore of tho Proposed Chnnps nntl Their Necessity.
To the Editer:
It is plainly evident from W. K.
Phipps' communication in tho Sun
day Mail Tribuno that ho is dis
pleased with tho charter amendments
recently proposed and that ho is an
gry at the council for submitting
them to tho people.
This is distressing. It is most unfortunate-
that city councils cannot
do all things at all timo to please till
people. Hut since human affairs
have been otherwise, ordered it may
be well io briefly examine into tho
matter and see whether Mr. Phipps
has any just grounds for his com
plaint. Mr. Phipps does not tell us which
of the proposed ninoudinonts has
aroused his displeasure, so it will bo
necessary to examine nil four of
them.
1. Ono of the atnondmonts pro
vides for lowing tho neoessnry tax
to support a public library. The la
dies of Medford have been laboring
to secure from Mr. Carnegie a dona
tion for a public library. Mr. Car
negio makes it a ralo to mnko uo
gifts of this kind unless there is pro
vision for supporting and maintain
ing the library after it is built. The
charter uiueudmcut i designed to
meet this reiiuiromeut, and it is sub
mitted at the instance of those who
are working to build up a free pub
lic library in this city.
No further argument on this mat
ter is necessary. If Mr. I'hipps
does not want a free public library
he docs right in opiosing tho amend
ment. Tho council is seeking noth
ing more than an expression of the
will of tho people of the city on this
matter.
'J. Another of these amendments
provides that if any assessment for
peoinl improvements, such as pav
ing, sewers or water mains, is set
aside by tho court or declared illegal
because of any technical defects in
the proceedings leaiting up to it, the
council may make a reassessment.
The officials of the city aro taking
great care to have nil preliminary
proceedings lending up to the making
of assessments for street improve
ments regular and in accordance
with law, but occasions arise where
this is extremely difficult. For ex
ample, the property owners may de
cide after paving hah been ordered
on their street that thoy want it
narrower or wider. 4The council
wants to follow the wishes of those
.who are to pay for tho improvement
and yet to chance the width of the
pavement after the work has been
ordered might be held by the courts
to invalidate the whole proceeding. It
is to meet situations such as this that
tho amendment was prupnred.
Tho city of Portland has a similar
provision in its charter, and it has
been held to be valid and legal by the
supreme court of Oregon in a recent
case. Tho city of Scuttle also has
such a provision in its charter, and
it was recently held to be valid and
legal by the supremo court of the
United States. No ono would ob
ject to a provision of this kind un
less he hnd in mind contesting his as
sessments nnd did not want the city
to have tho power to reassess his
property in case he succeeded in
knocking them out.
Mr. Phipps has recently petitioned
for it pavement in front of a largo
amount of his property in this city.
Can it be possible that Mr. Phipps
has in mind fighting his assessments
after this pavement is laid, and in
case ho finds somo technicality
which will render the assessment
invalid, does not want the city to
have the power to remedy tho defect,
in order that he may escape paying
for his pavement and make the tax
payers of the city, after paying for
their own improvements, also pay for
his out of their general tax. It is
difficult to imagine any other reason
for his opposition to this amend
ment. A third amendment authorizes tho
city to ashosH a portion of the cost
of trunk sewers or water mains
agaiiiht abutting property whore
I these trunk sewers or mains' can be
used by the property owners as lat
orals. It is probublo that this is tho
amendment which - arouses Mr.
Phipps' particular ire. Tho facts
with reference to this matter, no fur
as it affects Mr. Phipps, aro these:
Just boforo tho prosont administra
tion took office a trunk sowor was
laid at an expense of about .$20,000,
It has never been paid for and some
method must bo found for meeting
this obligation, eithor by general
tax or otherwise. For a portion of
its length this trunk sower runs
.along North Kivorsido avenue in
front of proporty owned by Mr,
Phipps, This trunk Bower servos tho
purpose of a lateral sower for this
proporty. All tin, other proporty
owners of the ciu must pay for lat
eral sowers in front of their property
and for district trunk sowors lending
to this mnln trunl- oAp. Tf ta'nc.
posed to iphesh against this properly 1 1
as much of the cost of this trunk
suwor as will equal tho cost of a
lateral sower in front of this prop
erty, and thou to pay tho balance of
this cost out of tho general taxes. It
is difficult to see how any fair
minded man can object to this ar
rangement. If tho whole cost of this
trunk sowor is paid out of general
taxes the result will bo that tho tax
payers of the city, after paying for
their own lateral sowors, will bo fur
nishing Mr. Phipps a sower in front
of his property free of cost. Surely
this would not bo fair. Hoar in mind,
it is not proposed to assess against
Mr. Phipps' proporty any more of the
cost of this trunk sowor than he
would havo to pay for a lateral sower
tor his proporty. Ho is escaping all
the cost of a district trunk sower by
reason of tho fact that tho trunk
sewer runs in front of his proporty.
lie. is only uskod to pay toward tho
cost of this trunk sc-er such an
amount as will cipuil its special hen
efit to him over and above its bene
fit to other proporty in tho city. He
can use the sower both as a lateral
and us a trunk sewer. We want him
to pay for tho privilege of using k
as a lateral just as other property
owners nro paying for their lateral,
and thereby lighten to some extent
tho burden of the taxpayers of the
city.
Of course any taxpayer of tho city
who wants to pay for sower facili
ties for Mr. Phipps after paying for
his own will oppose the amendment.
Hut thoso who want a square ileal
all around will support it.
1. Tho fourth amondment relates
to tho assessing of the cost of open
ing or widening streets. There is no
provision in. tho charter covering this
matter and ono is badly needed. It
is perfectly fair and equitable. Simi
lar provisions aro found in tho char
ters of all modern cities. As mat
ters now stand, if a majority of tho
property ownors in any locality want
a now street oponcd thoy must eithor
pay their own share and the share
of their tight-fisted neighbors, or tho
city must pay it out of its general
fund.
Mr. Phipps proceeds with a wave
of his hand to brush aside as uucoii
stitutiomil and illegal these amend
ments. This is discouraging. He sajs
that our constitution prohibits "re
troactive and ex-post facto laws.
Kven assuming thnt these charter
provisions aro retroactive in their
effect, which is nut the case, will Mr.
Phipps bo good enough to cite the
provision of the constitution of Or
egon or of tho United States prohib
iting retroactive laws?
Surely Mr. Phipps does not con
sider theso aiiiendinonts "ox pot
facto" in their effect. Tho writer
had always understood that this term
applied only to criminal enactments.
Possibly Mr. Phipps has the impres
sion that the council is seeking to
line him for living on North Hivor
sido avenue. Such, however, is not
the fact. Tho council only feeoks to
have him pay for what ho gets and
not to saddlo tho cost of his own
improvements on the other taxpay
ers of the city who are already suf
ficiently burdened in paying for their
own.
Mr. I'hipps also goes into a resume
of tho pnst litigation of the citv. It
is not apparent whnt connection this
has with the matter in hand, but it
may not bo out of plnco to remind
.Mr. Phipps that in tho litigation with
Mr. Ilanloy tho city got just what it
ycut after, and got it for the oxact
prico it offered before tho litigation
started. Where necessary to secure
justico to tho taxpayers of the city
the administration will not run away
from litigation. The city has an at
torney paid by tho year and will bo
at no considerable exponse, and it
may be that after exhausting nil tho
resources of tho Oregon laws for do
lay, Mr. Phipps, liko Mr. Ilanloy,
will find it advisable to make "con
cessions." And while wo aro on tho subject
of tho Ilanloy case, the writer can
not refrain from calling attention to
the fact that Judge Caulkins has ju.-it
ordered a jury to try tho condemna
tion case of tho Pacific & Eastern
Hallway company vs, Phipps iir or
der that the compuny may save the
financial loss that would result from
tho delay of waiting until Septem
ber. It is just a year ago, almost to a
day, Hinco tho ,pidgo of tho same
court refused substantially tho same
thing to tho cityvof Jledford, though
the delay in that case meant suffer
ing, sickness nnd loss of life to many
of our people. No criticism is meant
to the action of Judge Caulkins in
tho ponding case, It is clearly right,
Hut what shall wo say to tho ruling
ill tho city case? Simply this, thai
the world moves and that spoodv
justico in Oregon is possiblo if wo
elect officers who will servo all of
us and not a few of us only,

I feel that just a word is in order
in explanation of tho frequency with
which charter amendments have boon
submit ted to the people of late.
Tho charter of tho city of Medford
is an oxcollout one. It was prepared
a number of years ago by Judge
Crowell, W. I. Vawwtor and other
puhlio-spirited citizens. Hut at that
time Medford was a village and the
charter was designed for tho gov
ernment of u village. As Medford
has developed from u village into a
city, it has boon found necessary to
have additional provisions to meet
the changed conditions, and it has
been thought best to retain our pres
ent excellent charter as a foundation,
making the uoconMiry additions from
time to timo.
It is easy to criticise nnd iihuso
public officials. Criticism was not
wanting when the council spent a
couple of hundred dollars of the
city's money last spring to send tho
mayor and one of 'their number to
California to investigate paving mat
ters. The fact that this trio resulted
ia breaking the paving combine iu 'owing doscrlbod proporty belonglnc
Southern Oregon and saved Medford to ,M tato, nnmely: A stock of
.fSO.OOO on the present year's work Is niorchnndlao, coiiBlstlnR principally of
a matter concerning which the critics Indies' furnlHliIng goodn nnd shoon of
