TTSTlTir a population of 25,750, Jackson county now
ranks fifth in tho list of count ies of Oregon. In the
past decade the increase has been J2,(w8, and the gain Vo
per cent.
By the census of 1000 Jackson county ranked eleventh
on the list. The increase and development during the past
ten years have been greater in this section than in any oth
er section of the state, barring only Multnomah county.
Medford 's population of SftlO shows a gain from 1790
in 1900 of 'YJ2 per cent, leading all cities of the country,
except one, in percentage of gain. Though the population
of other Orogon cities has not been made public, it is prob
able that Medford ranks fifth ajnong the cities of Oregon,
being exceeded only by Portland, Salem, Astoria and Eu-
gene. In the past three; years Medford has passed Baker
City, Pendleton, The .Dalles, Albany, Rose burg, Grants
Pass and' Ashland. The same percentage of growth for
another decade will give Medford between '10,000 and 50,
000 population in 1920, and there is no reason in the world
why she should not attain this population.
The census of 1920 ought to show a population of 150,
000 for Jackson county. Lts area and resources will amply
support many times this number of people. The entire
Rogue River valley should be an immense, continuous
orchard, with a family upon every ten acres. Thousands
of men should be employed manufacturing lumber, quar
rying granite and marble, manufacturing lime and cement,
and thousands more in mining. The creation of a jobbing
center at Medford, of tourist resorts at Ashland, the open
ing up of scenic attractions, like the Crater Lake national
park, and our climalo will do the rest.
But these things will not do themselves. Medford
supplies the major share of the initiative and enterprise
of the county, and Medford must redouble its 'energy that
the future may fulfill the promise of the present.
It is in our own hands to realize our own destiny and
to make Mat destiny what we choose. We are on the right
road, but cannot afford to stop for a minute. Keep the
ball rolling.

npllli parallel between business and government is clear-
ly portrayed in an article by" Lincoln Steffins in
the December Everybody's. In it he skillfully shows that
business is government and that the management of one
corresponds exactly to administration of the other.
"Small businesses are little monarchies, as all primi
tive states were and some states are today," says Mr. Stef
fins. "The head of a little shop or of a small', competing
factory is the absolute ruler of his private business. And
public business used to be called the king's business; and
it was his. Even the people were his, his subjects. They
had nothing to say about the public business ;they had no
more representation in the government than the depositors
of a'bank have in their, bajik, .And that seemed liijtural
and right to kings and people once. Jut so many kings
abused their power that the management of public busi
ness passed gradually out of the monarchial stage into the
republican form and we see the beginnings of democracy in
.politics. And that's where business manairenient seems to
be going.
"A corporation is a republic. It has a constitution and
flections. There is a property qualification; only stock
holders vote; not tho workers, for example; but it is a
representative government. And if the stockholders of
a corporation would attend to their duties as voters, they
could, as in polities, govern. Hut, as in politics, thev neg
lect their duties. Thev nay out their nionev. fake their
shares, and leave the business to the parly in power. In
-the case of banks, the citizens, so to speak, deliver their
money in hard cash, just as citizens turn in their taxes,
and the depositors, like the taxpayers, don't know and
don't, ask what is done with the money. All this is the op
portunity of strong, active personalities.
And, just as m politics, strong personalities seize the
riunity. They organize a machine or a party they

collect this money, stock and power, as political" hosscs
coueci naiiot.s, com rihut ions and influence. The boss in
business has his ring of followers, who herd the voters, and
lie nominates them on tickets; one ticket in business, two
in politics, and so tbe boss puts in office his friends, men
who are loyal to him, presidents and directors who rep
resent him, not the public and not the stockholders, but
the hosts. So the business boss "controls" the corpora
tions, and, having the people's money, uses it to buv up
the' people's political bosses, so he has'a "pull" in politics,
too. The business boss is the boss both of business and of
polities.
"Xo wonder he has power. His power is enormous.
We call it financial power and wo think of moncv. Ami
money is a part of it. .Money is the footstool of credit, and
cretin is me very crown ol financial power. Hut the con
trol of credit comes through the control of banks and rail
roads, and public service corporations which corrupt and
control cities, states, the I'nitcd States. It is sovereign,
the money power, but the money power is not based on
money; not alone; certainly not on "their money." It is
founded upon the control of men, presidents of companies,
dircctoi-s and stockholders, depositors, and the public. In
other words, financial power is not merely financial, it is
political. It is a matter of the management of men."

Spokane, recently.
"If you should be dropped blind

vatlon you might easily Imagine your
self In n Jewish synagogue. You
hear Moses speaking to Isaac, Reuben
whispering soft words to Judith nnd
possibly Uenjamln, Aaron, Lovl and
Joseph In a heated controversy over
money matters.
"When I first took charge of the
Spokane nnd Colvlllo agencies six
years ago, I thought the Spokano Ind
Inns a very religious lot of people but
I soon found out that It waa In name
only, nnd that they wero not nt nil

Hundreds of Indiana havo asked to
have their names changed, and today
they arc "Tom Dick nnd Harry".

NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
The next hie attraction to be seen
in thitf city is that slerlinu New
Knjrlund play, "'Alonjr the Kenne
bec," which will be jriven in all its
entirety, wealth of rurnl scenery, the
,'ront quarry scene with its working
drills nnd n real steam engine, at the
.Medford theater, Friday, November
I). The company is one of the best
traveling nnd numbers many well
known players, including some clev
er specialty nrtisls. The characters
are all unitiuc i" originnlity nnd
there nre several types entirely now
to the stage. ln all. the play in iK
entirely will compnrc favorably will)
tho best of New England plays, such
us "The Old Homestead." "Counly
Fair" nnd "Shors- Acres." The com
edy duel scene in the third act N
very ftiiin'i mid is sad to surpass
Ihe celebrated duel scene in Joseph
Jefferson's jlliiy of "The Rivals."
Like all New England plnys, laugh

the humor is so carefully blended
with sentiment thnt jusl as you are
on the verge of tenrs something hu
