NEFF'S SPECIOUS PLEA FORMER CITY ATTORNEY RORTKR .J. N1OT litis published a defense of the city council, in which ho praises it as one of tho host over, .hi this ho makes the following assertien: There lina boon nn apparent tneroaae In tho Amount of taxes levied Tor tho current year but this Increase Is only Apparent and not ronl. In other words, twelve minis ten. Tho tax lew ns fixed by the council is twelve mills, as against ton mills for last year. The amount of money raised this year in Bedford on the now assessed valuation is $1)7-1.170, as con trasted with $rS)8,28l raised a year ago upon the valuation of that year. The increase in city taxation is twenty per cent. The decrease in assessed valuation is six per cent. Tho net increase in taxation is $75,885). Yet Mr. No IT says the increase is "only apparent, and not real." Continuing, Mr. Xeff says: lCvery year for ninny years Jackson count) litis levied n special road lax. Under the law one-halt of the Amount of this tax collected within the Med ford road district (which Includes the city of .Medford) Is turned over to the city for street nnd road work. Last year tho county levied n 3 mill road tnx ono-half or 1 Mi mills of which was turned over to the city. This onr lie county levied no road tnx. In order that tho city may receive the same amount as last your It Is necessary that the city Include In its levy thts l Vi mill tax. In addition, the asscticd valuntlou of the city was cut by the county assessor about $:i70,000.00 over last year. Tho net result Is that the 12 mill levy this year will not yield a dollar more than the 9.9 mill levv, last year pins the Ufc mills of the road levy which the city received from the county. The city tax levy was fixed November -I. The supreme court decided the Ashland road ease in December. The county court fixed the county tax levy on December 125), and did not decide to include the road levy in the general levy until the last moment, after the Klamath court house ease decision. Therefore, tho council fixed the city levy ignorant of what the county levy would be or of its effect upon the city, with the avowed intention of raising and spending more money than a year ago and the road levy cannot be cited as an excuse. Mr. Xeff fails to explain why it is necessary to keep city expenditures above city income. This may be busi ness efficiency in the opinion of Mr. Xeff but it surely is not in the eves of the ordinarv business man. WHAT A VOTE MEANS A VOTE for the members of the present council is a vote to Approve increased taxation in times of depression. Sanction contempt of public opinion only made amenable since the recall was invoked. Favor extravagance in civic affairs instead of curtail ment and economy. Indorse inefficiency in public office and multiplicity of salaried officers. A vote for the business men's ticket composed of Atessrs. Medynski, Emerick, Sargent, Miles and liar graves, is a vote for Lower taxation. Efficient business management. Ecouomv in public affaire. Reorganization of city affairs upon an efficiont basis. People who vote ior members ot the old council should not complain about high taxes or inefficient administra tion. Those who want it should vote for it. Protests Mitchell's Election A word to the people and voters of the First ward: Why should anyone vote for Mitchell to servo a second term af ter ho has made such a miserable failure of tho first term It Is n fact that he would have been re called if his term had not expired. Tho fact that he Is trying to run the second time Is not gall or nerve but simply a lack of sense.

Swine and sheep prices started off the week lu a stroiiR posi tion, and lu same Instances advanced sharply over recent levels, but cattle values were spotty, due to w Ide rnnno In quality and a narrow outlet.
