A RTEM.US Y. PEAXE. who signs himself "Onnlmn of
tho Sleepy Seventh Ooinimny" has answered in the
ri- ".. . r tit t , a
.ueuioru oim tne Ainu Triimno s eutronni iv a more or
less personal at tuck upon its editor, whioh is reprinted in
today's issue, so that hoth sides of tho armory question
ean bo presented. The Mail Tribune will however stick to
tho text, leaving tho courageous captain a mononolv of
personalities, which however entertaining, have nothing to
do with tho issue. Suffice it to say that the Mail Tribune
is not, nor anyone connected with it, financially interested
in thojNhtntoriuni.
"Sleepy Seventh" is a good name, and one that is likely
to stick. If the officers of the company were not asleep,
wity uiu uiuy win i uiim it was iqo uue ro introduce legis
lative bills in the usual method, befortf requesting the
Jackson delegation to introduce tho armory appropriation
unit as a matter ot tact, it was because tho officers
thought that a special bill was not necessary, and that the
19.11 appropriation of $40,000 annually for two years Tor
armories was alive, although it expired by limitation Pec.
31, 1912. Yet Captain Peanc savs:
"Tho officers of the sleepy seventh, were In touch with tho representn
lives before they loft Mcdford anil have been ever since they hnvo been
away and the conclusion reached by Mr. Carkln was to ask for $20,000 at
this time and endenvor to secure tho balance In tho future as $2.1,000 Is tho
largest amount over asKed for in the state for an armory."
Yet, within the last ton days officers of the Seventh
were under the supposition that a special appropriation
bill was unnecessary, and argued to that effect in the Mail
'lMbuuo office, and were shown tho statutes in question in
the Mail Tribune's copy of the code and session laws.
Furthermore, members of tho Jackson delegation two
weeks ago were ignorant of the fact that tin armory appro
priation was sought. Mr. Peanc further savs:
"Tho law requires first the sunt shall be raised by tho town or city
asking for an nrmorr. then a like amount shall bo raised by the rounty, after
which tho state will appropriate an amount vqual to the amount raised by
both."
This is the point raised by the Mail Tribune. The
Sleepy Seventh asks Mcdford to annrom-iiitn &L0.000 for
an $80,000 armory, telling the people that the state will
contribute half, and then the state is reouestcd to imt un
1 Art" rf 1 ,4.4-lSX rl t i m . .
omy jfzo,jw, so tuat u an .u,uuu structure is hunt, another
appeal must bo made to the state with a chance of its re
jection, or Mcdford must make up the $15,000 deficient v.
It is not a business proposition.
Premature haste was shown in issuing the call for the
bond election, before it was known what tho state would
do. As a matter of fact, city 6ff icials were assured bv the
military men that the $40,000 was already available" and
the "Sleepy Seventh" dreamed that it was. Cantain Peanc
informed the council that the $40,000 was already available
in the hands of the military board, and it was unon this
a. ... - " 1
supposition, the bond elpction was called. The state
funds are not available until 90 days after legislative
adjournment, and thero is plenty of time to call bond elec
tions after the appropriation bill passes.
In a published statement issued last Sunday, signed bv
Messrs. Peane, Osgood and Foss, as officers of the com
pany, the following assertions arc made:
'Tho special election for tho purpose of raising the sum of twenty
thousand dollars with which to assist In tho building of an armory. In tho
city of, Mcdford. will be tho first step toward securing from tho county an
equal amount of twenty thousand dollars, and from tho state legislature an
amount equal to that raised by tho city and county together or forty thous
and dollars with which to purchase tho site, and erect tho building."
Instead, of Medford's contributing a quarter, as repre
sented, we find it really contributing a third. Instead of
an $80,000 armory, we ect a G5.000 one. if f hn hill nnRo
Yet tho same legislature gives Eugent $25,000 for a $50,000
armory. Roseburg $20,000 for a $40,000 itnnorv. AVh v ,Wc

It was because of the undue haste and unbusiness-liko
methods, as well as the discrimination shown against Mcd
ford, as compared with other cities, that the Mail Tribune
made its protest, and suggested that Mcdford wait uutil
it knows what it is about before voting $20,000. We don't
know whether we are to have a $65,000 armory, or an
$80,000 armory, or any state aid at all consequently
colored pictures are fakes and elections at this time un-
called lor.
There arc many other crounds tho nrmnrr nnuA hi,
attacked upon because it is unnceded and unproductive
cud therefore an economic waste, because it fosters militar-
slnco they havo been away nnd the
conclusion reached by Mr. Carkln
was to ask tor $20,000 nl this tlnui
and endeavor to sccuro tho balance
In the future as $ati,000 Is (hn larg
est amount over asked for In the
stale tor nn armory, and then onro.
Kver.v communication received has
been carefully kept from tho want to
bo a socialist by George Millar says
nit, except ono and that ono was Im
mediately published to try lo hurt
tho armory vote, tho very next mall
bringing a letter of caution from tho
some writer not lo publish tho cor
respondence.
I wonder If Mr. Putnam's words of
praise for tho uatutorlunt' nro due
to any shares of stork he might have
and a careful thought for the month
ly rental yes.
Now would It bo better to drop tho
armory question and let sonio other
town get all the good that U coming
or to drop the on and only Mr. Cut
nam and go on Just as thounh noth
ing had happened.
