N NO wnv can ledford become the city beautiful as
easilv and as cheaply as by planting ot simtlo trees
along residence streets. With plenty ot water, witu abun
dant soil and with a climate that will grow almost any
thing, no excuse can be offered for not beautifying the
citv
"Competent real estate authorities from experiences in
other cities, estimate that well grown trees of ten years
or over increase the value of abutting residence property
at least twenty per cent. The value of individual trees is
pstinmtod at from $250 to $300 apiece. The cost of plant-
i iug and caring for the trees for ten years in comparatively
H2 little and the gain to the municipality is great.
The tree planting should be under nnn.icipai control,
so that regularilv and care will be exercised. Left to in
dividual owners "trees will not be planted, or if planted
not cared for. Tho money spent on this public improve
ment differs from that spent on other public improvements
in that its value increases in each passing year instead of
deteriorating.
It is no more sensible to trust tree planting aild care
to individuals than it is to trust the curbing and paving
in front of their property. Street trees give-the best re
sults when publicly cared tor, planted according to spec
ifications and cared for as the street is cared for.
Public tree planting is not sentimental, foolish or a
fad. It is a business proposition. It is so recognized in
many of the states. It has been adopted largely in south
ern California, and as a result has added great attractive
ness to the cities. Riverside- is a good example, "yith an
estimated population of 15,000 last year $6000 was spent
for street tree purposes. The trees were planted, watered,
trimmed and maintained from a tax levy tor the purpose.
In 1909 Riverside planted over 2500 street trees,making
the total since the movement began of over 60 miles of
street trees. Magnolia avenue is famous throughout the
country, and her streets show what can be done with a
definite policy of systematically planting all the improved
streets of the city.
Medford should follow the example of Riverside and
as the most progressive city in Oregon be the) first to in
augurate tree planting upon a modern basis.

Ex-Mayor Rose Denounces it
And yet tho law has been on the statute books ot Oregon for sir
years, and Is In tho law, word for word, for which Mr. Rose pleads
so earnestly the local option law The search clause Is In evory
criminal law of every state In tho Union.
Why have not tho liquor men and their aid society the courage
and honesty to admit this? They must deceive the public or their
causo is lost. '
"Prohibition is a Fallacy"
So ox-Mnyor Rose declares. Tho fallacies of prohibition cannot
hold a candlo to tho FALSEHOODS of the liquor men and their aid
society. Read tho following telegram, received In Portland Satur
day afternoon:
Topeka, Kansas, October 20, 10.
It 1b, with feelings of regret and shame that the undersigned are
conipOllod to denounce as misleading and false tho statements of the
mayor of the capital city of Kansas concerning conditions In our
state. We condemn him as a traitor to his city and state, and wholly
unworthy of tho high posltlon"he holds. Our prohllbtlnn law is the
most drastic and far-reaching ever passed by atiy legislative body,
and It Is well enforced throughout our citv nnd state.
There is not one ojmmi saloon in Knnvis, and the statements of
Mayor Blllard are an outrage upon our city and state. Our stato Is
exceedingly prosperous. At least 75 per cent of our people Stand
solidly for our laws.
Tho National Association of Manufacturers and Business Men.
and outflltlo brewery associations, organized by one Hlnkle, from
Milwaukee, has perfected a local organization In Topeka of which
Mayor Blllard Is vlco-presldent. Tho sole object of this organization
Is to aid and assist the liquor forces In other states where prohibi
tion questions are pending.

BOWERMAN AND SPECIAL INTERESTS.
CORPORATIONS chose a faithful servant in the person
of Jay Bowcrinan, assembly nominee for governor,
to lead the attack on popular government and progressive
legislation. ,
'Mr. Bowerman is seriously smirched in the J. Thorburn
Ross scandal precipitated by the failure of the Title Guar
antee and Trust bank of Portland.
Mr. Bowerman, while a member of the senate in 1907,
was a .member of the committee which killed the Miller
bill requiring that state funds be deposited by a state
board in approved banks paying interest on such deposits
into the state treasury, and secured instead the passage of
a law under which the state treasurer alone deposited
$395,000 of school funds in J. Thorburn Ross' bank, which
afterwards failed.
Mr. Bowerman. according to the Oregonian, responded
to the request of Mr. Ross' bank, and as "Joinder" (tho
code name he was called by), killed the Jackson bill, which
had already passed the house and provided a judicial re
view of the lawsuit whereby trudge Marquam lost the Mar
quam block to the Ross bank.
But Mr. Bowerman's legislative record shows him all
along to have been a staunch supporter of corporation j
measures. TTe helped defeat the SO-cent gas bill, and its
defeat enabled the Portland Gas company to water its I
stock to an immense degree at the expense of the con-j
sumers of Portland. He refused to vote for Oswald West's
bill restoring to the public domain a million dollai-s' worth
of tide lands claimed by the TTarriman railroads. lie vot
ed for a constitutional convention, which has as its object
tho elimination of the initiative and referendum. ITe voted
against the railroad commission bill limiting railroad em
ployes to M hours' continuous work.
Mr. Bowerman's wierd record shows him opposed to
popular government. ITe voted for the Mariner bill to
legalise the assembly, ile refused to take Statement No.
1. ITe said in a senate speech that he would rather vote
for a convention caudidate than a direct primary candi
date, lie orjfnuiwd and "stacked" the assembly and re
fused to permit his campaign committee to declare for the
direct primary and Statement No. I.
The only way to effectually defeat the effort to kill
tho direct primary and to defeat the effort of special in
terests to control Oregon's government is to defeat Jay
Bowerman.

'STANDING VOTE AT A
MASS MEETING IN AUDITO
RIUM LAST NIGHT.
The Attorney General has Knocked
Rotvn the Man of Straw Which the Homo Rule Association Set Up.
Rend this excerpt from tho address of Hon. E. C. Dronaugh, for
mer JudBe of the circuit court. Speaking of the home rule amend
ment lio'sald:
"It Is merely a repetition or the famous, I should say Infamous
Heddy hill. That bill was snowed under deep by the voters of Oregon
two yeara ago.
"I notice what purports to be an opinion by tho nttornowgonernl
of thls'stnte. answering in the negative tho question as to whether
or no this proposed bill will put It within the power of municipalities
to nullify .tho criminal laws of the stato of Oregon. I did not know
that anybody had announced the proposition that it would. The
liquor men have put up a man of btrnw and have asked tho attorney
general to knock It over for them. Nobody who has studied tho law
supposes for a moment that it will enable municipalities to nnnul
the criminal laws of tho state of Oregon. Dut it will do a fow
things which I would like to place before you to meditate upon.
"Perhaps you know that we have In this state a law which provides
that no license shall bo granted to n person who has been convicted
of soiling liquors to minors, or permitting minors to loiter about his
saloon; that Is, It Is the law except in the city of Portland.
"Wo have another law which prohibits scaloonkeepors from sell
ing liquors to habitual drunkards. There is another law which pro
hibits the opening. of saloons on Sunday. There Is another law
which prohibits the licensing of saloons within a certain distance of
a public school building. Tho proposed, so-called home rule bill will
put it within the power of every municipality to evade those laws.
Vow, Mr. Liquor Man, will you ask lllo attpmcy Jeneful whether that
statement Is true or not? And sec what lie says. 9
"I am not hero tonight to abuse anybody, t am not here to ahuse1
men who may disagree with me. I am hero td express surprise that
the liquor men should have been shrewd enough td secure such an ar
ray of reputable and honorable men to stand sponsor for their bill.
Many of those men I know personally, and I know that, if tho true
inwardness of that bill had been explained to them, their names never
would have, been at the foot of It and their influence never woul4
have been back of It.
"Therearo other things this bill proposes to do. Has It struck you
that It Is at all significant that the clause, 'subject to he conslu
lonal and criminal laws of tho state of Oregon,' comes beforo the
clause relating to the suppression and regulation of tho sale of liquor?
There is alBo a clause put In the end for the purpose of misleading I
can see no other purpose for It 'Subject to the provisions of the
local option law of the state of Oregon, within the limits of the
municipality.'
"Jti s provided in this act that no municipality may amend its
charter so as to be in conflict with the criminal laws of the state, or
with the provisions ot the constitution; but this act docs propose Ik
offect to amend tho charter of evory municipality so that that munici
pality may enact ordinances, regulations and laws, which set at de
fiance the laws ot the state regulating tho sale of liquor. It will also
practically nullify the local option law, because, It you read tho criti
cism of tho Oregonian this morning, you will note that the Orcgoniaa
called attention to the fact that It would practically do away with pre
cinct vote and will limit tho operation of the local option law to the
municipality an an entirety. It will do more than this. In many parts
ot the state where there are small towns there are largo precincts
which Include a whole or a part of the town, and a part of the country
as well. This law gives the right to the municipality, as a whole, to
vote upon the local option law, but there Is no law that gives a part
of a precinct outside of a city the right to vote upon the question of
the prohibition of tho sale of liquor, and therefore all such pre'clncts
outside of the municipality will bo doprlved of that right. Also !
tho munilcpallty, In many cities whero it is not possiblo to carry tho
city dry. a vote may be had upon a precinct, or combination of pre
cincts. "That Is true In the city of Portland, and In many of the parts of
the city peoplo who do not want the saloons In their residence neigh
borhood have voted their precinct dry. They would be deprived of
that right If this bill becomes a part of the constitution of the state
of Oregon. And, think of it. I say this is the most outrageous nnd
nudnclous nsault that has yet been made upon the rights of the peo
ple of this state.
"Then again, if this amendment Is adopted. If any county or
precinct votes dry, it will be within tho power of tho liquor men to
create a new municipality, however small, within such dry territory,
which will be Invested with authority to llctwiie the sale of liquor
within the municipal limits and thoreby corrupt the whole district
and set at naught the wilt ot the people."
