carcass about. From all appearances
tho deer had been dead for about
ten days and there Is no telling how
long tho two had been fastened by
their harfls. Tho deer . which was
nllvo appeared In fairly good condi
tion considering tho difficulty it was
in and when released by tho trappers
tho animal lost no time In making a
getaway.

LILIPUTIAN STATESMANSHIP
TltlC city administraTion does not realize how much of
a joko it lvallv is. or it would never have soberly pro
posed the arrest of citizens signing initiative pot it ions
because they wore delinquent in assessmentsin other
words, penalizing people who were hard up.
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.
