MACHINE. CAUCUS KtiKcnc, Ore., Dec. ?, 1914. fo tho Editer: I wish to thank you ngaln for your continued interest and assistance In my, campaign for tho organization of the' atato legislature on a different bas'la from control by caucus and leg islation through trades and deals. 'Whilo Bomo of my friends thought I WjU. lhwfse id contlnuo this fight after the Portlarld rteoplc had made. Btich a strong bluff to tho effect that their control was cissurrcd, tho indl cA'tlpns now aro that tho grip of the c'ftufcus Is weakening, and that they realize this. The probabilities are iWh stronger now thari they were d'weck ago, that wo shall bo ablo to organlzo tho houso la tho public in tcrcst nnd without tho speaker or any other member being so bound by promises that ho cannot vote on any iflMSfiro as hls conscience dictates. Pcrsorialfj', there Is nothing In tho speakership for a man who is run ning ander the pledges I am making, for my principal plcdgo is that 1 am not using this power to gain support, eV ia force members to act against' their better instincts. It' is not a' personal matter with me at all. 'it fe a matter of seeing whether legislating can't bo done on a fair, epea and above-board basis without fay secret caucuses or the abandon neat of tho right of free choice oa the p'arl of any member. iky e'lght years experience, Instead of naklng mo think that this is a aopeleas ambition, leads me io be lieve, fhat it can bo done. Our mom iertf aro all well-meaning men, but they are1 itf the grip of a vicious sys tem, which renders (heir good Inten tions' Ineffective. if IL Is your plan to continue to call attention to tho essential wrong ness of attempting to gorern this democratic state- through a secret caucus, based on county lines and sectional jealousies, nothing would pleases me more than to soo you con tlnuo to put the wholo controversy on a high plane of political principle and fair dealing. A caucus Is nothing but log-rolling on a grand scale, and it is the practice of log-rolling which is most apt to bring our legislature Into disrepute Thanking you for your attention to this Important matter. Yours very truly, ALLEN BATON. u ML MEWS ; BEGIN NEW YEAR A hericrf of gonpel meet nipt nnilur triu'lfiirntliip of J. K.

A fako commission man can start in business ami be trusted without question by farmers, whom bo proceeds to bunco out of their year's crop. Orchardists have consigned Their fruit to commission men they know nothing of, to rceeivo back a deficiency- bill. At the sank time both the farmer and fruit grower were busy knocking co-operative organizations which market crops to the best possible ad vantage whoso books ard open1 to all and whose' affairs nro honestly administered. , ' ' "Wireless telegraphy nnd other bogus concerns have no trouble in selling thousands of dollars' worth of stock here, but a legitimate home enterprise eitn't'giH iv cent where the fakir gets a dollar. Tho Nevada or distant mine swin dle reaps a good harvest, while development money is re fused excellent local prospects. Perhaps it is tins fondness for gold bricks that makes the land owner shy at. irrigation which would quadruple his output. It must be some snch hidden lure that makes the farmer hesitate to agree to raise the one crop that lie is sure of a slated market for sugar beets, which would at tho same time build np an enterprise in the valley as suring n payroll. Perhaps, however, it is simply ignorance or perhaps pure business. Most sections are willing-to pay a substantial bonus to secure a beet sugar factory, so profitable are they to the surrounding country. Although there are many such fac tories in Utah, they still seek more, as witness the follow ing from the Salt Lake Tribune of December 24: A commute ronrcscri tlnrf the' residents of Salt Lake county Interested 'In tho establishment of a sugar factory In the county are. this afternoon, making tho Knight Sugar company through Jcsno Knight, president, a proposal to Induce the Knight Interests to inovo their sugar factory from Raymond, Alberta to Salt Lake county. Tho committee met this after noon at the Cimmerclal club and formulated the proposition which was to b5 presented to Mr. Kttlght. ...,, According to members of the committee the farmers of Salt Uike. count) agrco to preaerit gratis' to the Knight Sugar company, 100 acres of land In any section of the county desired. They ngreo furlhermlro to furnish 50.000 tons of sugar beetd tho first year of the factory's operation and each succeeding year sufficient beets to supply tho factory s need. The) also Kuaranteo that. It desired, tho farmors of Salt Lake county will sun scribe 49 per cent of the capital stock of tho company which may bo forrried to operate the company. ,., The committee. It Is understood, will guarantee tho IMah-ldaho Sugar .quantity ofsugarJtajortheUhjJ company to contlnuo rurnisninj? irunr TO TALK CHARTER AND EXPLAIN IT To the Cltlicna of Mcdferd: A committee of 21 citizens of Mcd ford, appointed by tho city council, have, after nearly a year's work and study, drafted a new chnrter for the city. "While it contains absolutely nothing now or untried, It win In troduco some Important and highly desirable changes In Bedford, es pecially along tho lines of putting the city's business on a business-like basis, requiring proper bookkeeping, and roports fo tho people that aro In telligible and enablo them to under stand easily Just what is dono with their iiioney and whother economical ly speql or" otherwise. . , t Wo feel cortafn that a proper un derstanding of this charter, will, In sure, its hrty approval amf adop tion. There has not been a single vaflj objection raised to It. Dut there Is somo lack of understanding. To tho end that this understand ing may bo removed and tho charter voted upon understanding!)', wo earn estly urge citizens to meet lot its discussion. Let any interested citi zen arrango a meeting, whether in a hall, a church, a lodgo or oven In privato residences. A card addressed to tho secretary of the commission will bring somo Ino to any such meet ing to help In tho discussion and es pecially to answer any questions. Tho commission challenges tho bring ing of any valid objection to the char ter. If It is thcro wo want to know It. In view of tho positlvo knowledge of Improvements and econlmlcs that havo followed tho adoption of this form of charter In every city that has one, do wo not owo It to Medford, as good cltlzons to either support this charter or given fair opportunity, to have any supposed objection ex plained and dlsciiBhcd?
