JAY BOWERMAN, assembly candidate for governor,
and slayer of state normal schools, at Ashland wore a
tag labeled "Southern Oregon State Normal school. Plug
and vote for 340 YES. Will cost you 4 cents on $1000
valuation price two postage stamps."
Does this indicate another political flop to get the
votes? .
Mr. Bowerman is so rapidly repudiating all of his for
mer policies and turning so many political somersaults
that he is hard to keep track of. A human weather vane,
he veers with the popular breeze of each locality.
Mr. Bowerman in the senate champioued the Marriner
bill that legalized the assembly and restored government
by political convention; as acting governor, he organized,
with the assistance of public service corporations, tho il
legal assembly, stacked it and manipulated it for his own
nomination.
Before the primaries, Mr. Bowerman s placards read:
"Assembly nominee for governor." The object and pur
pose of the assembly was to repudiate Statement One and
knife every Statement One supporter.
After the primaries. Mr. Bowerman flops, and an
nounces his sn""ort of Statement One though as sonator
he never supported it. He drops the assembly title from
his picture poster to get the votes.
Mr. Bowerman as attorney for the Southern Pacific,
brought injunction suits to prevent the construction of
the Hill line into central Oregon. As state senator he
traveled to and from the capital on a Southern Pacific
pass and put in a bill to the state for mileage for $142.20,
which the state records show the- state paid. As acting
governor he helped frame the assembly slate before the
assembly convened, in a Southern Pacific attorney's office.
As a candidate before the assembly, he secured the votes
of not only the Southern Pacific but other corporations,
and as assembly candidate their active support in the pri
maries. After the primaries Mr. Bowerman disavows the as
sembly and corporation connections to get tin votes.
As president of the senate jLr. Bowerman helped defeat
the 80-cent gas bill. The defeat was followed by an in
crease in capital stock of the Portland monopoly without
any increase in real capitalization an immense watering
rt- stock and the people of Portland must pay interest on
this fictitious capitalization through Mr. Bowerman 's in
fluence. Yet Mr. Bowerman now says he has no corporation
affiliations to get the votes.
Mr. Bowerman boasted of his work as butcher of nor
mal schools, repeatedly pronounced the Ashland normal
school a graft, used the power and prestige of his office
to discredit higher education.
.Yet it is probable that Ir. Bowerman will now come
out publicly, as it is reported that he has clandestinely,
in favor of normals to get the votes.
Truly, !Mr. Bowerman, having no convictions worth
living up to, represents the decadent age "in which no
ideal either grows or blossoms, when belief and loyalt'
have passed away and only the cant and false echo of them
remains; and all solemnity has become pageantry; and
the creed of persons in authority has become one of two
things: an imbecility or a Machiavelism."

SLUMP IN PROPERTY VALUES

PROHmrriDN
WAKE UP, MR. ORCHARDIST.
ORCHARDISTS in the Rogue River Valley as a class
are strangely lacking in public spiritedness. They
do not seem to realize the benefits accruing not only to the
entire valley but to themselves individually, from making
adequate displays of fruit at the various exhibitions and
apple shows.
This does not apply to all the orchardists. A few have
proved themselves far sighted and liberal, but most of
them refuse to cooperate in any move designed to display
to the world the products of the valley.
Not only is the Medford Commercial Club obliged to
pay the highest figures for fancy fruit, but even when
these prices are offered, the fruit cannot always be ob
tained, as many orchardists will not take the trouble to
sort out their fancy products, even though paid for it.
It is not right or fair for growers to shove the entire
burden of advertising this section upon the comparatively
few members of the club. The least that they can do,
would be to offer their fancy fruit, especially when bet
ter prices can be secured than will probably be realized
by shipping on consignment. The club has found it neces
sary in many instances, not only to pay absurdly high
prices, but to provide labor for sorting and packing.
Notable among the exceptions to the above, are such
orchardists as S. V. Beckwith, who offers a car load of
Newtowns for Spokane; A. Conro Fiero, who offers a
mixed car for exhibition purposes at Chicago; J. E. Mad
den, who has contributed many boxes of Spitzenbergs for
both Vancouver and Spokane; R. n. Parsons, who has
supplied both pears and apples, and a few others who can
always bo counted upon.
CENTRAL PARK PROMISED.
(Continued from Page 1 )
tliut the parking would bo done at
the expenso of the Southern Pacific,
which will also provideo a fuietakar
under the supervision of the ladies
of tho Greater Medford Club.
On account of tho stringency in
eastern fiuuueiul centers and becniibo
tho present appropriation bus been
exhausted, the railroad cannot nt
this time carry out thee extensive
plans for park improvement origina
ly proopsed. Thohe will follow Inter,
but Medford is nssured of a portion
of the park immediately.

con will repeat the history of other
stntes that have tried nrohihitinn,
and after extended experience, re
pealed it as a miserable failure.
No law prohibiting the Mile of in
toxicants, no statute telling people
what they must and what thev must
not cat or drink ever has lu'en or
can be enforced, when it is against
the sentiment of u percentage of the
people. No matter hov strict the
espionage, no matter what expense
is entailed, people will secure what
thev want one wnv or another. No

Do you know what the first effect
of prohibition will lief Au lutinedl
ate stagnation of business of all
kinds ii depreciation in all propcrh
values and an increase in taxation
without lessening the effect of the
evil of intemperance.
If the people of Oicgon want ti
check the prosperity of the state i
place a wet blanket upon her dc
velopmont, to see property deprc
cinte in value while taxes iucreust
and at the same time little or ti
diminution in drunkenness, they have
only to enact the state wide prohibi
tion law.
Local option is the only jusi
measure. The home rule bill gives
the cities local option, enabling the
residents to control their oil v.
I do not think that state wide pro
hibition has nny chance of passing.
In every prohibition count v there i
a reaction against prohibitio .
Wherever it has been tried, it has
been found wanting, and the popular
wave reached its erest two vea-s
ago and is now reeoding.

Make Every Dollar Worth
More Than a Dollar!
An educated ad reader will never bo poor.
To "know advertising" is to havo a prac
tical knowledge of values of things of
when and how and whore to buy. No one,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
ever be unthrifty, or in nny sense careless
or reckless of exponses. J)r such knowl
edge makes for thriftfor saving. It makes
one proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
Tho intelligent ad rcador uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning the money that is spent
for them. And that amounts to substan
tial increase of the value of every dollar
of tho family revenue!
