NEEDED SAYS GARY
Head of Steel Trust Recommends
Several Remedies for Existing
Evils Healthy Competition Is
Needed Most of All, He Says.
XXTlTllO'UT lapsing ink) Hie realm of complaisant solf-
salisfael ion, so disastrous to progress, Mod ford and
tho Uogne. "ttiver valley have many things to bo thankful
for this Thanksgiving day. .11 has been a year of steady
growth, legitimate development, and material progress
everywhere.
It is a greatly enlarged and unproved Mod Cord that
greets tho eye of the stranger today from what it was a
year ago. !Many substantial business bloeks have replayed
the flimsy structures of earlier days. Well paved streets
extend everywhere in business and resideneo districts,
instead of the stretches of knee-deep mud of last Thanks
giving time. Countless new and artistically designed resi
dences adorn these newly paved thoroughfares.
"What has been true of Modi'ord is equally true of the
other cities of the vallev. Ashland's progress has been as
remarkable as Medford's. Central Point, watered and
sewered, is also paved, Jacksonville has constructed a
municipal water system. Gold Hill is to do likewise. Magic
Point has been built anew, and Talent has risen from the
flames larger and finer than of old.
In the vallev a record acreage of orchard is iiterallv
laden with fruit buds, and all signs point to the heaviest
of yields. Not only will a greater number of young trees
come into bearing, but the older orchards will have record
outputs. More and more land is coming under cultiva
tion, and a greater use of water is making for larger re
turns through intensive farming.
There has been a substantial revival of mining during
the year, with prospects good for great activity during the
coming year. In many other lines steady progress is the
record of the year, particularly in the development of in
dustries. The coming vcar should be the greatest in the history
of southern Oregon not from a building or real estate
standpoint, but in the way of industrial and commercial
development, in the establishment of factories and plants
to utilize natural resources and provide payrolls. "We
have left the era of speculation and entered that of devel
opment. The Rogue River valley's future lies with the people of
the valle Nature has supplied the materials necessary,
and only courage, energy and brains need be applied to
make it not only the greatest orchard in the world, but
a veritable hive of varied industry. .
God lias supplied the raw stuff, it is up to man to make
the finished product. Let us be thankful for the task
that awaits us.
A WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 29.
Judge Elbert II. Gary, chairman ol
flic board of directors oC the United
Stated Steel coqtomtion, took tin
stand today before the bonato 00111
inittco on commerce.
''"What is needed is a fair, hcultln.
competition," Gary told the commit
tee. "Unrestricted competition ulti
mately results in monopoly and re
straint of trade."
Gary recommended the following
remedies l'or existing trust evils :
The forcing of the interbtato com-,
morco corporations to take out fed
oral licenses ;tho giving' of publicity
lo the affairs of corporations; elim
inating of ovorcnpilalizntioii; pre
venting discrimination among per
koiis and locations; conducting ot
business strictly according to iIk
law; the creation of a corporation
trade commission, orapowored to
grant, suspend or revoke licenses
subject to court review, the rcdu;
tiou of prices by this commission lo
be subject to nppeal.
Tho steel magnate declared that
the corporations uro u benefit to the
puople, adding:
"'Tho largo corporations make pos
sible economies and tho coni ervation
of natural resources Economy i
due to the fact of one mill producing
one kind of product instead of try
ing to hao one mill produce all
kinds." i
NEWSPAPER ETHICS.
SUSPECTED STAGE
ROBBER CAUGHT
Marked $5 Gold Piece Is Found on
j, Young Men at Roseljurg, and They
Arc Taken Into Custody by the
" Sheriff.
, 'ROSBnUKQ, Ore., Nov. 20. Kd
,v.rd Jurgins and Fred Foster, both
youijg men in their early twenties,
uro under nrrost hero today as the
daring highwaymon who hold up the
stngp nt Drain hist Saturday.
' They wore arrested at the Jurgin
farm iiino miloe from Hosebnrg by
Sheriff Quino. A marked $5 gold
piece which was taken from C. A.
rtiokor, n passenger during the hold
up, was found In their possession.
I The authorities expeot them to enu
foss and doolaro that the youths ad
mitted thoy wore in Drain just pre
vious to tho hold-up.
Both wore nrmod with automatic
revolvers of tho snmo pattern used
by the highwaymon.
BOTIE the Portland Orcgonian and the Portland
Journal long ago exposed the unfitness of Congress
man Lafferty for office. Yet both continue to carry paid
reading matter, singing Lafferty's praises.
One column refors to Lafferty as unspeakable and an
other says in big black type, "Dig business tried to break
him with scandal and lies, but thev haven't vet downed
this fighting congressman."
This raises a nice question of newspaper ethics which
leads the Portland Spectator to the following pertinent
query:
"Having exposed A. "W. Lafferty, and having shown
that he was not a proper representative of the decency
and manhood of Oregon, the Orcgonian hikes A. "V.
Lafferty's money and permits him to publish in its col
umns fulsome notices of himself, attesting his splendid
superiority to everything on earth, including the truth.
"The question, then, is this: Do you think that a news
paper should for money endorse through its advertising
columns anything or anyone which it knows to be fraudu
lent or unfit, and which it has condemned in its editorial
and news columns? What is your answer'?"
But why cite the Lafferty instance alone? Don't both
of these Portland dailies accept advertising from wildcat
mining promoters and other fakirs, advertisements that
spell fraud on their face, and thereby permit their read
era to be buncoed in order to make a profit themselves?
And do not these preachers of morals permit their col
umns to be defiled by nasty advertisements, bordering on
the obscene, of wonderful cures b.v, "specialists" and other
medical fakirs, whereby unscrupulous sharks are permit
ted to pray upon unfortunate, afflicted and disease-
smitton humanity?
What is the answer lo the Spectator's query?
THANKSGIVING
We Avish to express our appreciation of
the ninny favors shown us by people of
Medford and the valley.
