SOME people ah so orookctMlint thov think ovoryouo else 1ms n kink of some kind. For tho benefit or this class, the Mail Tribune wishes to state, onee and for all, that it has no ulterior motive in its effort to keep the public market conducted as at present, that a change in methods or system cannot etteet tne paper save as u auecis wic entire community, and that its energies have been inspired solelv with the altruistic motive of lowering the high cost of liviinr in Medford. benefittinir both producer and con sumer, and attracting tho country trade that had drifted elsewhere. The market has done all this. Before the market was established, grocers sold Cali fornia produce while local produce rotted in the field for lack of purchasers. Farmers unable to market their t ruck, refused in turn to purchase their supplies here. Lack of a market made it impossible to give diversified farming the needed stimulus. The fight against the market has come from interested trades-people with whom it, to-a certain extent competes. These have fought it from the start, and are encouraging the effort to wreck its efficiency and effectiveness by mak ing it a political football, because it has lessened profits and lowered the cost of living. Bluntly, without the meat stalls, there would not, be inducement sufficient to attract purchasers sufficient to sustain the market. 3f the meat stalls are abolished to please the butchers, then the should bo abolished to please the grocer and truit dealer, and tho market be closed altogether. But the needs of the people as a whole, are greater than the needs of any one class, and class protective, legislation must give way to legislation for the whole people. It is because the Mail Tribune has taken this broad view, and because, when a conflict arises between a few advertisers, who help support it, and the many subscribers, who also help support it, the interest of its subscribers must be paramount, that it has endured boycott and abuse and probably will continue to. The Mail Tribune has no interest in city politics and doesn't care who draws the salaries, providing efficient service is rendered. But it realizes that back of the effort to remove the present market master, whose efficiency is not in question, is a sinister desire to cripple the market and destrov its efficiencv. WHAT WATER COSTS ELSEWHERE. THE San Diego Sun.of recent date contains notice of an application made by the Sweetwater "Water Company, which supplies the territory, south of San Diego with ir rigation wator, to the state railroad commission for per-' mission to increase the rates charged water users 1250 per cent. Says the Sun: On tho acreago plan, consumers are now paying nt n rate of $7 per acre, with a minimum of 350,000 gallons tu tho acre, and 2 cents a thousand gallons for all water 1n excess or tho minimum amount. A majority use over the minimum, and the average amount expended nn aero Is now about $7.50. If the Increase proposed by tho water company Is granted to give them "reasonable returns." the consumers say they would bo forced to pay $24.S0 for the 35(1.000 gallons, or would average about $25 or $2R pr acre per year. If the same amount of water Is consumed that they are now uMng. Kconomy is already practiced, and it is. used per acre could bo decreased with any good results, with water at $24.50 or more per acre, It Is held that the grower would bc so seriously handicapped that few would caro to engago In the business. When it is considered that the users of this water all paid a large sum either for a water right, or for the land with the privilege of securing water, in addition to the high annual maintainanco cost, it will be seen that water is it very valuable commodity in southern "California. The Rogue River Canal company's offer of !?50 per acre with an annual maintainance fee of $2.50 looks extremely reasonable in comparison with charges elsewhere. In submitting the name of George Tranna to the city council for reappointment as superintendent of the water department, Mayor Eifert made a move which will meet with instant approval on tho part of the public. Mr. Tranna as water superintendent lias placed his department upon a firm basis of efficiency, And is well qualified to 1... -111T..J..1. f .. ..1. 1.1.-1-- 1 1 !

The peoplq of , Medford, as citizens, and mombers ot ono municipal fam ily, Irrespective of politics, party, sex or occupation, nro chiefly concerned, n tho installation, maintenance and ojieratlon of all public utilities and services, from tbo point ot view of economy and efficiency of operation. That Is thcl,r first interest, the middle and the last. There Is no room anywhere for any public con cern over tbo good or 111 fortunes, politically, of any mayor's adminis tration, or ot any council cjlquo. Efficiency of service and economy of operation cannot bo maintained at their highest point If positions In our civil service aro mado the biennial reward of mere political activity. Whatever sins ot omission or com mission in this respect may Ho in tho shadows ot past years, tho present administration lias betoro a golden opportunity to distinguish Us regime by establishing tho civil servlco of Medford upon u lasting foundation of merit, and mprlt alone, That foundation onco laid, no futuro ad ministration with any hope or expec tation of public favor would ever daro do otberwlso than to build solidly upon It; and tho public inter est in tho structure so reared should remain sufficiently keeu to guarantee a recall campaign against any mayor who would then attempt to make the public sorvlco a football of poll tics, or a feeding ground for hi per sonal favorites, It appears plain to tho wrltor that no man dealing with public affairs, save the very dullest and most obsti nately Ignorant, cau fall to percelvo Efficiency Needed, not Politics S 1 II II I .

Favors School To tho IMItort With all duo respect for our lninfc orable county Judge niul ye editor, I should llko to wrlto a tow linos In uimtor to tho couuuitnlcntlou ot Mr, Sturm's In regard to our school supervision. Of course, vcry one linn n right to bin own opinion but forming too b'nsty an opinion Is a fault every on should mold. To judge tho work ot suporlwor by tho notes read at tho Parent- Tteachors meeting would bo as un fair nn to jtidgo tho merits ot n tectum by tho notes jotted down by some auditor us In both cases the notes were brief nnd to bo usod sim ply as" .reminder of tho fuller and more complete work. Surely, no ono would think that children were of less vnluo than fruit trees or roads, et wo have fruit Inspector and road supervisor so why not havo school suporvlorsT No ono would think of letting an In experienced ponton go to work on their place without watching nnd In structing them, no why should w allow Inexperienced teachers to go Into our school roomn and gain ex perience at the expense ot our chil dren, when by Intelligent school supervision, the supervisor, who has been a successful teacher, could cor rect their mistake before any dam- ngo wni done nnd gle thm vnluabb hints which provn of nlim to both teacher anil pupil. Then, too, he sees that each district receive tho benefits of the O. A. C. literature, and IT. S. Department of Agriculture bulletins without any expense or lots of time. Would Mr. Sturges. who I or wax a rond supurvUor, hire some stranger to work on his road and pay him wages without going to see how much or how well the work was douo? No!

Tho first one was that of (leorgo Tranna a water superintendent. Mr. Tranna has filled this pl.ico tho past year and hail mado good.

It Is tho same with n teacher. When teacher knows thnt the directors seldom If ever visit her school or Inspect her work, what Is to prevent her becom ing buy or careless? Mr. SturgoH say pictures do mil bring In nny money but If joti are simply looking nt monetary vnluos, neither docs music nor many of the other studies but who would wish to llvu without music, art nnd litera ture? As 1 understand education, It I the means by which person Is fitted to go lnlo tho world, mingle with people nnd bo able to converse Intelligently on all subjects of common Interest. Could he do so did he not know, nt least, n few of the world's most noted artists nnd their work? Who would wish to havo their children to bo dumb and embarrassed lu n company of er sons who were speaking on subjects eery ono should bo familiar with nnd have them realise they might have been conversant with the subjects had their parents or school director allowed these subjects to he taught when the supervisor udvlsed the bet ter method by which they might bo tniight. I can not see why any one who ha thoroughly Investigated tho matter, should In any way object to our system of school supervision. GLADYS H Mll.l.Klt.
