AVnUlon, asks whether it is not a misappropriation of county funds to pay road supervisors their salaries unless Ihey comply with the law and erect sign boards at road crossing, and therefore a. misdemeanor on the part of county officials to pay these salaries when supervisors ignore the law. Section (:u i ot Lords (ode reads as follews: " lOvery supervisor shall erect and keep up at the forks of every highway and every crossing of public roads, with in his road district a guide or finger hoard, containing an inscription, in legible letters, directing the way and speci fying the distance to the next town or public place situat ed on each road, respectively; provided, that the road i supervisors shall not be paid after submitting their report to the county court until they have shown to the satisfac tion of the court that the provisions of this section lr.ivc been complied with.'' Section OolS provides the following additional pen alty: "Any supervisor of roads who shall neglect or refuse to perform the several duties enjoined upon him shall forfeit for every such offense not less than 5 nor more than $50, for the use of his county, to be recovered before any justice of the peace having jurisdiction ot the same, m the name ot the county ceurt: and it is hereby made the duty of the court to sue for the same: provided, that if any supervisor conceive himself aggrieved by the decision of the justice of the peace, he may appeal to the circuit court, as in other causes." These statutes like many others, have been more hon ored in the breach than in the observance. Not a county in Oregon has enforced them. It would be straining a point to say that failure to meanor on the part of the county court, but there is no reason whv thev should not be enforced. That is what they were made laws for. and .Jackson iHnmtv might as 1 Til 1 i 1 i i il 1 i wen icau uie stare in uus regard as in outers. The law gives Mr. "Walden and other taxpayers a rem edy however. Upon complaint the count v court would have to act under section 1)318, while any taxpayers "can enjoin the county officials from paying any supervisors until they have complied with the iaw and erected sign posts. It is certainly the duty of the prosecuting attorney to inform taxpayers concerning the law. That is what h is elected for. The village press has described itself as a "lousv calf.'' rather than a braying from the noise they make, and UpOJJ this subject if 11011C OtllCl. OPPORTUNITY TIIE Lord helps those that help themselves. Medford has a chance to help herself and all southern Oregon as well. Medford can build a railroad to the 131ue Ledge, open ing the greatest copper mining camp in the northwest, developing the greatest natural resource, providing work for many men and prosperity for the community. Medford has waited for ten years for the .Southern Pacific to Imild this branch feeder and it can wait ten .years more with the same result nothing doing, unless Hill started a line. Medford has waited three years for the Hill system to build nothing doimr until the Pacific and Eastern is com pleted to a junction with the if the Hill system built it but it will be the best of all if the people built it themselves. It will arouse us from our unwonted lethargy, unite tho people for the common good as they have not been united for months. It will still further develon the Med ford spirit the unselfish one uie spine tnac nas made the community. A united community, pulling together, can accomplish any end and fulfill any hope and the building of a railroad to the Blue Ledge, is an object worthy of tho utmost effort. What Medford has accomplished so far, she has ac complished alone, without help from without. She has grown almost overnight from a stragL'linc unkempt village. iiito the best paved, sewered and watered city of her size in the world. Medford is now a well known name throughout the country and Medford citizens accomplished it by their own energy, stamina and brains. "She flies with her own wings" is the state motto ol! Ui'egon, but .Jackson county is the only part that really flies with her own wings, and the time is'ripe for her great est flight. The railroad to the Blue Ledge must be built and Medford must build it. Opportunity is knocking, let us open the door. ,;( '. THE QUICK OR AN EFFORT has been and is being made lo unite the rest of the county against Medford to have the coun ty line up politically with Ashland as against this citv. One of the sponsors of this movement is the Ashland Tid ings, which has dubbed Medford "His Swineship." Ashland for nianyvcars controlled the politics of the county and was supremely selfish in its control. The remnants of the old political ring seek to renew this con tra I and to this end have named George W. Dunn as their candidate for county judge. There is no reason why to arouse uie rest 01 the county against Metjford, except the village animosity and jealousy with Avhieh Ashland has long regarded Medford. As a matter of fact, Medford has done and is doing far more for evary section of the vallev than Ashland ever dreamed iof doing. Medford money and Qncvt;y have given the stimulus that increased population and raised valuations of all realh in the county. Medford has broue-ht in tho ;i nihil that is developing orchard and farm, that is opening uprrlulll,ix' .

Oregon Trunk and no rea- for all and all for one spirit, THE DEAD? the attempt should be made mines and establishing industries, 'that is utilizing waste water power and irrigating the desert, that built, tho Paci fic & Eastern and will build to the Blue hedge. Tho interests of tho count' are tho interests of Med ford. Tho city can only grow as the country develops, and it is Medford that is responsible for most of the de velopment. ludgo Dunn fully reflects the unprogressive and re actionary spirit that dominates the Ashland ring, that fought road bonds, that wastes its energies in knocking, instead of cooperating in creative development work. What did .Judge Dunn ever do for any portion of .Jack son county, during his life long residence as a citizen, or in his official capacity as county judge ( What move did he ever originate or promote or assist for the upbuilding of Jackson county Tudge Dunn points to his record, which only shows the negative virtue of economy and inaction. His path is strewn with the blighted buds of lost opportunities. lOven when Jackson county woke up and began to do things he continued in slumberous lethargy and played no vital part in its development. Shall the people of .Jackson count v return to the long since discarded wavs of a dav Or shall we continue the march of progress into a brighter future? Do Aye want a dead one as leader or a live one i That is the issue before the people of .Jackson count v at the primaries, April J9.
