THE HIDDEN HAND.
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

To the Editor?
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,

With all duo respect for our lninfc

should llko to wrlto a tow linos In

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! He would simply laugh

to havo our children's drinking cup"

Is concerned, n man know ho

know that no ono will know wheth
er theytwork or not? 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

It I the means by which person

did he not know, nt least, n few of

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

who ha thoroughly Investigated tho
matter, should In any way object to
our system of school supervision.
