COMMUNICATION.
t-
To tho Kdlter: William J. Scott'3
nnswor to nil criticism of tho Scott
bonding and banking plan, how it
would work for the benefit of tho
taxpayers. Assuming that tho pre
Hmlnary steps had boon taken, the
county had Issued the bonds, depos
ited Bamo with treasury at Washing
ton, had taken out n charter for the
Taxpayers' National bank of Jackson
County, Oregon, organized same,
and tho treasury department had is
sued the, currency, taking $3,300,000
for tho amount, and 100 years for
the time as a bnsls to flguro on, the
bank sets aside as a road fnnd
$1,300,000, loans tho remaining
$2,000,000 at G per cent per annum,
payable semi-annually, it would cam
for the taxpayers $120,000 a year or
?10,0Q0 per month, in 20 months
$200,000 oft this accrued interest
could be added to tho road fund,
making the $1,500,000 the county
proposed to spend for good roads
last Soptcmbcr. Tho bank still has
tho $2,000,000 loaned at 0 per cent,
earning $120,000 per year, which In
100 yoars has Increased $12,000,000,
total $14,000,000 at simple Interest
tho interest could bo loaned as it
accrued at the rate ot $60,000 one
half yearly.
At tho present assessed valuation
of Jackson, county, $3S,000,000. a
levy of one mill on the dollar in 100
years would create a sinking fund
of $3,800,000, $500,000 more than
necessary to take up the bond issue
of $3,300,000. The sinking fund
could be kept loaned at a low rate
ot interest and would pay the run
ning expenses ot Jackson county in
all departments. This is the writer's
reason for making the assertion. Ad
ministrations will rise and fall on
the economic principal hero present
ed. Tho plan here proposed will put
the supply of money in the hands of
tho whole people, and not leave thorn
as now, and as they will-be to a
greater extent if the proposed Ald
Tich contral bank plan is put in op
eration, at the mercy of a small band
of unscrupulous financiers. Can you
beat it?
WM. J. SCOTT.
(Why not loan the entire $3,300,
000 and spend only the Interest year
ly, so avoid all taxation? Or better
yet, increase tho assessed valuation,
and tho bond issue to the extent that
tho Interest received will not only
pay county expenses, but glvo ovory
ono a salary in addition? Editor.)

AND
' PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
iijl? IT'S ri good thing, why not inss it along, " says
County Commissioner Jamos Owens in declining to
be a candidate iorve-eloetioh. "Mr. Davis and I together
drew a little over $200 as salary for the past year. AVe
gave so freely of time and attention that it seriously inter
fered with our efforts to make a living."
And about the only appreciation (he county court re
ceives is abuse.
Gold Hill clamored for a new bridge across the TJoguo
for twenty years. ,lt got last year the best bridge in
southern Oregon and vilification has been the appreciation.
Tn response to popular demand, fine bridges were
built over the Rogue between Eagle Point and Sams val
ley, over the Rogue at the mouth of "Big Butte and across
Big Butte, to give the upper river section connection with
the railroad; miles of the best macadamized roads yet
built were constructed:' new highways were extended in
various portions all clamored for for vears in brief the
past year was a record breaker for'construction and im
provement that opened the way for further development
and the appreciation has been vituperation and scandal.
All this construction could not be accomplished with
out money. In satisfying popular demand for improve
ment, the income of the county was exceeded taxes were
necessarily increased, hence the reactionaries, always
sveking chances to howl down progress, saw opportunity
to veil and are veiling.
The warrant shavers and cent-per-cent sharks saw a
chance to make some nionev at public and individual ex
pense, so they at once manifested their usual patriotism
by forcing county warrants below par that they might
buv cheap. Now these same patriots are clamoring for
Dunn's election, hoping by shutting off all improvements,
to apply all revenues (ovarii a reduction of the indebted
ness, forcing warrants to par and enabling them to reap
a fancy profit. There is no reason why county warrants,
a G percent securitv. should not be worth par.
The flame of discontent, always smouldering in the
heart Of the pessimist and the inossback whose main occu
pation is setting upon a ten percent I'irg, has been assidu
ously fanned by Ashland, a city that has usually played
a discord in the harmony band of Jackson county progress
and which ruled the county, politically, for many years
which now seeks to regain its lost domination nmf restore
a do-nothing regime.
In 3904, Geo. AV. Dunn was elected county judge Dur
ing his term. Joshua Patterson of Talent was 'eomntis
sioner, so that Ashland absolutely dominated the count
court and little was done for other sections of the coun
ty. Tn 1C0S Judge Neil was elected, but during the vears
1909 and 3910 had little voice, Patterson running affairs
with Owens' assistance still the Ashland regime In
1910, Davis was elected in Patterson's place, giving .Med
ford its first representation in the county court so that
for one year only has Ashland not been dictator from the
howling one would think it a century of crime.
The county court attempted in one year to make the
improvements that should have been spread over a series
of years that had been long needed and long demanded
that because they were not made brought about the defeat
of Dmra and Patterson. They could not all be accom
plished, but a good start was made. N
The issue is simply, shall Jackson county continue to
progress, or shall we go backwards i Can we afford to lie
down at this critical stage? "Was any country ever made
or benefited by retreat.' Shall Jackson coulitv .join the
class of the Willamette valley reactionaries .'
The county credit must 'be restored, but there art
other ways than bv the do-iiothinu- nolicw The oonnfv
should and must continue road and bridge building, but
it is as vain to attempt it upon a large scale upon the tax
receipts alone as it would be for a city to attempt to pave
the same way. The outstanding warrants should he re
deemed by a bond issue the running expenses and im
provements kept within the cash income, and a svstcm of
highways built by the proceeds of a bond issue. '
A broad constructive policy is needed not a pinhcad
policy of stagnation.
