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. The very
idea of thluklng tho pcoplo of Med
ford would vote for his re-election af-

started off the week lu a stroiiR posi

sharply over recent levels, but cattle
values were spotty, due to w Ide rnnno
