It ean only be understood by getting the council's view pointthat to propose taking away salaries and depend upon publie spirit for the administration of the city's affairs is criminal. Property restrictions upon the electorate long ago passed away. Village regulations attempting to modify state and national constitutions are as void as the paper they are written upon. Xo man loses his citizenship because he is poor or gains it because he is wealthy. In the rights of citizenship there is equality before the law and right to petition cannot be restricted Medford s city council notwithstanding. The council furnishes a spectacle of a little power being a dangerous thing. The members take themselves too seriously. They place themselves above the people and think they know better than the people what is best for the people. The Lilliputian statesmanship of the administration reached its height when prison was threatened petition signers. Hut it is a logical step in the program, fol lowing waste in management and consequent increased taxation. Grants Pass has reduced its levy to (,:. mills, on a smaller valuation than Mod ford's, while the council has iifcreased .Mod ford's to 112 mills necessitated to keep up the big payroll and to indulge in luxuries like the purchase of the Hamilton ranch, three-quarters of a mile above the intake of the water supply. But the people are supposed to say nothing and pay the bills. Petitions go into the discard, and as a last resort the recall has been invoked. It is the only way to secure a change. Every citizen, man and woman, should register at once in order to vote at the .Tanuarv election. But a few days remain for registration. Do not neglect it. FOR CHRISTMAS FUND !
