IJ2T THE PEOPLE RULE, MR. MAYOR.
TILE city clootion tloinomtrntetl in no uncurtain nuut
noi' tlfu o)iiiion of the people ut! Mod ford in nitinioipnl
affairs.
The armory bond issue was defeated by a two to one
vote, aK it should have been. There is no necessity for an
armory, it would be a needless luxury at this time.
The passage of the charter amendment expressed pub
lie disapproval of Mayor Eifert 'a course as plainly as it
could be expressed except by a recall election. It was n
vote of lack of confidence in he executive.
The election was a mandate from the people to let merit
govern appointments, and a protest against introducing
the spoils system in municipal affairs.
It is to be hoped that harmony will hereafter govern
city affairs. But there can be no harmony with a mavor
Land city attorney devoting
character and fastening jail senteuces on couucihnen. the
election was a public repudiation of such tactics. They
must cease if we are to have peace.
The Mail Tribune again begs Mayor Eifert not to
commit political hara-kiri by ignoring the desires of the
eommumtv and to remember that an administration is not
measured by its office holders but bv its constructive ac
jcomplishmcuts.
In any program for civic
will pledge the, administration its support, but it declines
to participate in petty squabbles over petty offices, and it
will oppose introducing the spoils system in the public
market.
It is to be hoped that Mayor Eifcrt's administration
wjll do something besides fight over appointments. But
to accomplish these results, the mayor must live up to his
campaign pledge:
If elected, my time, ami services wilt always be available to thu public
and suggestions and criticisms wilt at all times receive, most careful consid
eration. Whenever It la apparent that the majority of our cltlxens are
united In opinion opposite to my Individual views, I will yield to the major
ity, regardless of my personal oplulous.
If the mayor needed to be shown, the election was cer
tainly tin eye-opener. ,
SAUCE FOR GOOSE, SAUCE FOR GANDER.
UNDER the present administration, the city attorney
has become a criminal prosecutor rather than a legal
adviser. And he docs not confine himself to prosecuting
city cases, but drums up evidence for submission to the
grand jury. .
What originally was intended to land one of the coun
cilmen, who would not wear the administration's collar,
behind the bars, has resulted in the indictment and prose
cution of ten hotel men and liquor dealers of Mcdford for
selling liquor to minors.
The evidence was furnished by the city's gallant de
fenders, members of the national guard, some of whom, it
seems, are addicted to deploying in squads to "rush tho
growler" and arc studying other tactics than military.
According to the stories told the grand jury, a squad
of the brave boys in khaki, after the arduous duties of the
drill,, would repair to various refreshment parlors, and
order cups that cheered. Some of the soldier boys were
of age, some were not, and the dispenser did not discrim
inate, foolishly presuming that the uniform guaranteed
majority.
4 If the liquor dealers were careless and sold liquor to
iniuors, even though the offense was unintentional, they
should be fined to make them more careful. To avoid
future troube, they should have prepared blanks ready for
signatures of those whose age was questioned.
But the youths who pass themselves off as of age, can
also be punished, and their punishment is the quickest
way to check the habit. A state law provides a penalty for
those who represent themselves as of age when they are
not, and a Mcdford city ordinance makes it a misdemeanor
for a youth to enter a saloon or purchase a drink.
The evidence given by tho boys in khaki before the
grand jury is sufficient to convict all tho witnesses, and
the city attorney, who procured the evidence, should en
force the law. Both the liquor dealers and the youths
should be prosecuted.
To Maintain
A matter of the mot ritnl concern
this laud of sunshine and flowers,
a laud which lures men of capital as
well as men in search of permanent
homes, is the ninintainuncu of laud
values. Thu one item which U used
to deter investors from making realty
investments: in the Hogue river valley
at this time, is thu fact that values
here, with our'regulur crop produc
tion, our adaptability to produce so
many commodities, mid above all, our
uttrnctivu environment, has raised
prevailing valuations above those of
the sections which have not so much
to offer.
Heretofore our lands have brought
returns which justified tho valuation
placed upon them by owners. Each
investor in success, who came into
tho ownership of a tract of produc
tive laud here, Iiuh figured thnt ho
must make a profit on his investment
in addition to filling his own require
menls for a home. To do this, ho
must ndd to instead of decrease its
productive capacity. How can this

In this tiorthwcst country, with its
vnpt acreage of young orchards, moro
copiing into bearing each year, and
the older ones increasing in henring
capacity, tho problem of marketing
the output becomes moro and more
intricate. Tho nstuto grower even
now realizes that today a local mark

the freight" precludes shipment to a
distance. Only tho strictly fuuuy
fruit will bring satisfactory returns,
und that must go forward with a
standardized pack. The ultimate
problem therefore is how to reduce
the culls und the seconds to thu low-
lest possible proportion as related to
the strictly taney product. 'J he ans
wer is, "Water!"
Tho laud can only give returns to
justify present values when the
slight deficiency in natural rainfall
is made good by man from irrigation.
This is not a scmi-nrid dihtriut. Wo
nro free from some of the most puz
zling problems in irrigation uhich
distinguish those seiiiiarid sections
where alkali abounds and where seep
ago figures so largely as to bo an
actual menace. Here drainage is well
nigh perfect, the soil responds most
reudily to application of water, and
loss Hum one-half the water needed
in some districts is here required to
bring about ideul fruit conditions,
Tho fruit associations are rapidly
"getting next to tho markets" and it
is up to tho growers to aid and abut
thfcjr efforts by growing only tho su
perior (piality tho market demands.
Add the water which the canal com
pany is ready ami willing to supply
so reasonably, and enable the com
pany to get its forces to work at
once. It is not liku some visionary
