EVERY property owner or taxpayer in the Medford
school district, and every parent of school children,
should take a greater interest in the public school system
than has been taken in the past.
Medford has been so busy building a city that little
attention has been paid to school matters. As a result,
little interest has been manifested and a growing feeling
of dissatisfaction has spread throughout the city.
JMeinbers of the present board are all successful busi
ness men and have given a business adminitratiou. As
none of the board were educators they left the details of
school management largely to employes. The tune has
arrived, however, when die school board should consist of
educators as well as business men.
"Women, who are most closely brought into contact
with the schools, have had no representation upon the
board. They are more vitally interested in them than any
one else. The careful mother eloselv watches the progress
of her children and is quick to note flaws in the educational
system.
.Realizing the need of trained educators upon the
board, and the justice of having one of their own sex as
their representative, with whom they can discuss the sit
uation in a way impossible to discuss with men. the
mothers of Medford have united in support of a candidate
and placed Mrs. E. S. Parsons before the voters.
"Without any question, Mrs. Parsons, is one of the
brightest women in Medford, is in every way, the best
qualified of all the candidates named. She has the prac
tical and theoretical training, she has the energy and ad
ministrative ability, the tact and common sense necessary
to successfully fill the situation.
If you have the best interests of the public schools
at heart, you will work and vote for Mrs. Parsons for
school director.

To the Titanic Band
EIGHT JIKHOKS
Two thousand fathoms down
Into tho silent deep,
Eight gallant heroes drown,
While waters upward creep.
Down in that awful dark,
Hearsed in the cruel sea,
Eight heroes stiff and stark,
Have died for chivalry.
Of all Tltanic's host,
That sunk beneath tho wave,
Theso merit praise tho most,
As bravest of the brave.
On tho deserted deck,
Onco scene of mirth and song,
Facing tho final wreck,
They cheered tho awe-struck throng.
Masters of music they
A email courageous baud,
Each man assayed to play
As calmly as on land.
"Nearer My God to Thee,"
That waB tho hymn they played,
Facing eternity,
Yet undismayed.
Hartley, tho leader's name,
Great hero of that day,
A Btranger to tho coward's shame,
His was tho Master's way.
Ho sacrificed himself for all,
His duty hold him fast
Ho heard alono its clarion call,
Abovo tho slreu's blast.
Humo, Taylor, Clerk, and Wood
KlniB, IirayJey and Brancoux,
Each man has by his death made good
And to tho last proved true.
For all theso souls wo pray,
Reward whero'er they bo
And at tho Judgment Day
A crown for bravery.
That sweet and holy hymn,
Stolo on tho lambent ulr,
And then tho lights grow dim,
And God was sought in prayer.
Tho feoblo tongue or pen,
Halts at tho wicred task,
Of praising thoso bravo men,
Forgot them not, wo aHk.
And whon you hear that hymn
Throughout tho coining years
Think of thoso gallant men,
Who calmed their fellow's fears.
Over tho angry deep,
Under tho sombre sky,
'Neath which theso horooH sleep,
Lot anthems rlso on high.
Mon of red Saxon blood,
Uncovor them with pridu,
Proclaim tho 1Iou"h brood
Most worthily havo died,
And when tho ships that plough tho
doop
IMiBs o'or tho uumarkod graves,
Toll, toll, tho boll for htm who sloops
lloneuth tho Bad sea waves.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
TlIE restaurant men want a city ordinance prohibiting
saloons from serving free lunches. Thcv alreadv have
an ordinance prohibiting the lunch wagons that formerly
did a rushing business during the night.
The confectioners tried to secure an ordinance prohib
iting ice cream wagons and succeeded in enforcing a stiff
license that cut down their number.
The jewelers have secured the passage of an ordin
ance virtuallv prohibiting iewelrv actions bv excessive
license. . ,.
The grocers would like to forbid the sale of produce,
the butcher to cut out the meat stalls at the public market.
All of this is special legislation and treads closely
upon the constitutional rights of those affected. But
there is precedent enough. Doesn't the tariff levy on the
many for the benetit ot the tew, and it the national law
helps the big manufacturer, why shouldn't the town laws
hell) the local merchant ?
It is an Anglo-Saxon characteristic to want to regu
late the other fellow, in religion, politics and business, par
ticularly when there is a profit in it.
The newspapers would like a statute forbidding the use
of telephone poles in competition with newspapers, but
the council and the people preferred telephone poles, and
if newspapers, that pay taxes' rent and payrolls can stand
the competition of telephone poles that pay nothing, and
fulfill no useful function in the community, and the grocers
and b utchers can stand the competition with market, and
the confectioners with the ice cream peddlers, the restau
rant man ought to be able to compete with the meager
saloon lunch.

INITIATIVE TAX BILLS.
"TpOUR initiative taxation measures, drawn up by a eoni
" mittee ot five senatoi-s, seven representatives ap
pointed for the purpose by the hist legislalture, with the
board of state tax commissioners are being circulated for
signatures.
The first bill provides for a constitutional amendment
giving definite authority for the taxation of incomes. If
this amendment is adopted a law can then be enacted
carrying out the purpose of the amendment. The in
come tax law recently enacted in Wisconsin offei's a
splendid basis for such legislation.
The purpose of the second bill is to amend Section Ooij-I
of Lord's Oregon Laws by placing therein a provision ex
empting from taxation all household furniture and effects
actually in use in homes; also all wearing apparel and
similar personal effects actually in use. This class of
personal property is entirely unproductive and its com
plete exemption is amply .justified from considerations
both of equity and practical efficiency in taxation.
The third bill abolishs double taxation and the ini
quities of the present system of taxing credits. The'
State of Washington several years ago enacted a law to
this effect and it has proved highly satisfactory.
The fourth measure amends the inheritance tax law to
conform to the model law on this subject recommended by
the National Tax Association. This model law has re
cently been enacted in New York and will doubtless be
approved by many other states in the near future. The
administrative work under the proposed law is placed in
the hands of the Hoard of State Tax Commissioners.
