To the Editer: I soe in your val uable papor under date of tho 15th inst. an article entitled "Buy at Home." You say in that article that you cannot hoe why people don't buy at home. I can tell you why I sond off for things that I could buy in Medford. It is because I cannot soli my jirodncts In Mod ford and as I can save money on some things by sand ing away for thorn, I do It. Now, I want to ask one question and would like to seo it answorod in your papor. Why do tho dealers in Medford sond to California for gar den truck whon it can he bought in Medford from the farmers? Now thoy may bay that thoy don't do that, but thoy do, for I have hauled nice garden truck to Medford, and could not sell It. when thu dealers woro buying from California. 1 took some nlco onions, boots, carrotH, parsnips and turnips to MooV ford not long ago. I stonned at 4, More, went in and told tho doalor what I had. He took some turnips. 1 called his attention to the onions. Ho said ho could not uso thorn. J had occasion to stay there a few min utes. While I wug thero, he tele phoned to tho commission company and hud some onions sent up. I looked tlioni over, and 1 had as good or bettor onions than ho got. Now why did ho buy tho turnips? Hccauso tho commission company did not bavo thorn. Lust spring I was hauling garden truck to Medford. 1 saw California Jottuoa soiling for 10 cents the head. I offered to furnish tho samo houso with lottuco as nlco and fresher for 510 cents por dozen. Ho would not buy. Why, Is it possible that the doalor was sotting that lettuco for loss than 80 uouts? If so, why did he chargo 10 conts por hoad for it? I wont Into ono of tho commission houses. Thoy had Just unloaded a car of cabbage. I asked him whore ho got so many nlco cabbagos. Ho said California. I a&kod him if ho could not buy from the local funn els. Ho said ho did not know. 1 said I had two nolghbors who had aero of cubbago thoy couldn't sell at any price. I saw a anan on tho streets that dny with sovoral sacks of nlco cabbago. Ho said ho hud boon to ovory store In town but could not got an offer on his cabbage. My neighbors' crop stood lu tho field and spoiled. I hnvo had $100 worth of gardon truok rot this winter, could not sell at any pice. $tlll Medford has shlppod In several carloudn. Why? If tho doalor will buy my truck in proforonco to California truck, then T will ho) from htm 1 VUMFU. Coiiiiul Point, Miuoli lb. HONOR MEN AND THEIR WORK. p ISTITIONS are in circulation, probably inspired by political motives, asking the county court to abolish the convict canip on the Crater .Lake highway, on the grounds of economy. .It is probable that a majority of those who sign do not understand the situation, or the motives of those originating the move. According to printed figures, the couniv is navinir for this labor about 7.3 cents a day, 2o cents per man in wages, II cents in food, 9 cents in clothing. The county paid last, summer 2.50 a day for labor, and Foreman John Grieve is authority for the statement that as high an average of efficiency per man lias been and is being secured from the honor men as wits secured from the free men. The camp was established the hitter part of October and the first of November. The cost of initial buildimrs and supplies has all been charged against the camp, so that every day the men are employed lowers the average of cost. Most unfavorable weather conditions have been encountered. Koads have been impassable. Snow has blanketed the ground. Storms have rendered it impos sible to labor all of which has increased the cost for work secured. In other words, the camp has not had a fair trial as yet. AH work done has been at a disadvantage. Cost of securing supplies has been abnormal. Tho weather has been a severe handicap and yet excellent results have been secured. The county, having paid the initial expense, should continue the camp during the good weather in order to get back the money already invested in lower cost per diem and greater progress of work. A season is now at hand when' far greater results can be secured for the monev than has been possible in the past and the experiment will not be complete until a few months of workable weather have been experienced to balance the winter's iuelemeuev. The camp was established as an experiment to demonstrate the practicability of the honor system in Governor West's prison reform policy. Xo other county in the state was willing to try the experiment, not even Marion, where the prison is located.' As a consequence. Jackson county received a great deal of free advertising and is still receiving it. The success of the camp for it litis been a success lias demonstrated not only the most humane and practical way of handling prisoners, but has thereby immensely benefited humanitv. It has called attention to the fact that there is honor in every penitentiary and that decent treatment brings a response. Xow that Jackson county has made a success of the honor camp, ten counties have made application for honor men, and the demand greatly exceeds the supply. The men will not be left a minute," if the county court does not want them, but as a business proposition' they should re main now for good weather. It is probable that the most advantageous wav 'of handling the honor men in where they can work rain material, and another year will find such a course adopted throughout the state. There exists in every county, even in Jackson county, individuals who never get busy except to stop some one else from doing something. They never circu late petitions except to undo and never sign petitions ex cept to prevent some one else from accomplishing some thing. They tear down and never create. They nev.er originate but waste their energies in trying to check others. This class objects to most forms of progress. One never sees them circulating petitions for subscriptions to upbuild "the coinmnnit.v. If tlu;y would spend one half the time in creation that the.y spend in demolition, one half the energy in cooperative development work that they spend in cooperative knocking, Jackson county would have twice its population today. A HINT TO THE WISE. A ITENTJOX is called to the communication of a. -- farmer published elsewhere. It is one of many of similar note. This complaint must be based upon more or less of a foundation of fact, for it is widespread. It is injuring the commerce of the city. it is the merchants' first duty to sec that merchandise can be bought as cheaply in Medford as elsewhere. If it cannot be, Aledford cannot hope to hold the trade. The merchant who seeks exorbitant profits not only injures the community, but cuts his own throat, just as 'the landlord who demands unreasonable rentals is eventually rewarded with vacant buildings. Merchandise is sold at reasonable prices in most Aled ford establishments, at prices that compare favorably with those of other cities. In' some lines, however, there is complaint, regarding some .individuals, with the result that the stores in adjacent towns handling the same lines have profited at the expense of Medford stores. It has long been alleged that combination and trusts exist in certain lines here. No particular objection can be found with such combinations, which are economic necessities, provided they share the benefits derived thereby with the public. The trust that cheapens the cost of products to the consumer justifies its existence. The trust that exists simply for selfish profits made by in creasing cost to the consumer is unjustifiable and doomed to failure. The successful trust has ever been the one that divided the profits with the public. "Farmer" asks why some .Medford grocers buy Cali fornia products instead of Oregon vegetables. The Mail J nbune is unable to answer. The grocer should certainly practice what he preaches, patronize home industry. It is to remedy the existing condition of affairs, to provide the farmer with a home market for his produce that The Mail Tribune has so long agitated the puhlic market, and that the city council is to establish such an institution. Tilt re should be a concerted el fort among Medford merchant iwbi of .whom are winter time is in quarries, or shine in getting out road alive and progressive, to sec' that local stores meet all competition in the valley and do not charge too much, for I ratio always follows (ho flag ot reasonable prices.
