HONG KONG KOLUM
IF you wore gdin&lo' tiy and borrow s6r7i? money, would
you fii-st place a blanket mortgage on your home and
then try to peddle it V
Or would you first secure the assurance of receiving the
money, and then make the mortgage, confirm to the terms
of the loan?
"Which would be flic business-like procedure?
If you followed the first plan and could not secure the
money sought, your home would be uselessly encumbered
You would have to undo what you had done to free your
home and your credit would suffer by the useless trans
action. To plaee a blanket mortgage upon flic city for a mil
lion dollars without knowing whether or not the money
can ))(! secured, without adequate legal advice to govern
the transaction, is the attempt of those who are initiating
the move fov a special election to submit re bonding to the
people.
Leaving out of question the; question whether the re
bonding is advisable or not, it is certainly follv to act be
fore it has been found whether the bonds can be sold and
at what terms.
Hacked by the unlimited credit of the British empire
and the French republic, which have never defaulted in
meeting interest or other obligation, the five per cent
bonds ol the war loan are oliercd at 90 cents on the dollar.
What would be the price of a million dollars five per cent
bonds of the city of iMedford, making a $1,800,000 obliga
tion upon an assessed valuation of .-H .-00.000 ! Let us find
out before we involve ourselves in a needless legal tangle
and destroy the city s credit.
There is plenty of time for a rebonding election after it
has been ascertained that the bonds can be sold. It is a
case of haste makes waste, it is neither good business nor
horse sense to proceed before the money is assured. J1 is
the rankest follov and can onlv lead-to disaster.

KUROPATKIN
Titti Iyctrograd annonnceinent that General Ivuropaf
kin has been placed in command of the Wussian arm
ies shows a surprising reversal of public opinion in .Russia
for Kuropatkin iui been in disgrace since the defeats of
the Russo-Japanese war defeats for which Kuropatkin
was made the scapegoat for an inefficient, corrupt bureau
cracy. Ivuropatkin is a fitting successor of the Grand Duke
Nicholas. He is one of the world's military geniuses,
1 hough he lacks the position and iron nerve to defy the czar
and the bureaucracy as Nicholas did. The German influ
ences surrounding the Russian court are responsible
largely for the failure of Russian munitions, and Nicholas
has evidently been sacrificed to shield them, as Kuropaf.
kin was ten years ago.
Russia's need is great. Kuropatkin is patriot enough
to forget lite undeserved humiliation of the past for his
country, as Nicholas is bearing his own humiliation today,
for Russia needs both.
lexei Nicolaievitch Kuropatkin is a man of many ac
complishments soldier, scholar, histerian: geographer.
statesman and administrator. Tie is 07 years of age, an
hereditary noble of Pskof, descendant of the ancient czars
of Moscow. lie entered the army at 18 and has seen ac
tive service in every part of the great empire, from the
frozen Arctic to Arabian deserts, from the Halkans to the
Pacific. I To has received everv decoration Russia bestows
for valor, is a born leader of men and au idol of his army,
Kuropatkin fought throughout the Russo-Turkish war
after helping reorganize the French cavalry in the years
following Hedan. lie was the first successful governor of
Trans-Caucasia and pacified the wild tribes of Turcostan.
His record as an administrator is as brilliant as his military
Career, He is the author of several books and has added
materially to the scientific knowledge of the age.
It niavbe that Kuropafkin is destined to lead Russia fo
victory for Nicholas left the Russian armies intact;
though sacrificing subject border districts to military
strategy. The new life and energy of the Russian armies
in halting the German rush, at any rate, indicate a master
still at the helm.

To the editor; I noticed in II. V.
Wilson's letter to tlio Trillium, my
pinto was mentioned, o I will stato
to tho people, my condition for the
past five years.
I had two smalt Houses, j rented
one and lived In tho other, they came
to mo with a petition to pavo tho
street, I" would not sIkii It, I know r
could not pay. for ifivltiK, hut they
paved Just the same nnd said I owed
the city about $800 at 0 per cent.
What could 1 do? I will tell whnt t
did do.
I nioVed Into a tent ko 1 could rent
my home, when the wlndljlew, I was
afraid, but I thought (hat pavliiK
must bo paid for, ovor $40.00 a year
Interest and a payment of nearly
$80.00 making- over $120.00 a year
besides my $20.00 sower assessment
and about 1 10.00 goneral tnx.
Then I went to work in tho country
at $12.00 per month, or worked at
any other kind of work I could not to
do. When 1 was In my tent I drank
hot water for, tea,. If I had coffeo I
could not afford any crenm or milk
In It, I did not buy what I needed to
oat or wear, I bollevo I paid about
$!G.00 for clothes In Ive years, I
had to savo every nickel to pay for
that street paving. I was worn out
with hard work and worry, 1 saw I
could not pay any more. I thought
they would take my homo and the
tears rolled down my cheeks. A lady
friend cnitio in, she said: "Stop work,
lug out when you arc not nble; top
worrying over that paving, they enn
not take your homo. Thou 1" found
that wealthy people wore, not paying
and that aftor I had paid initio tltoy
had put 2 mills In my taxes for delin
quent interest.
I nm slxty-nlno year of ago. Js
this justice?
There ar many flttBH over our city,
tho Stars and Stripes nro floating in
tho air, hut do I fenl I have been liv
ing In a froo country, to bo bowed
down with tlobt for tho benefit of the
public, for five ytKtraand would have
been for five more, If sonio one had
not opened my oyHj, hut I could no
longer pay for I linve nothing to pay
with.
While I wan paying all my monoy
to tho city, my houses got out of re
pair, so I could not rent thorn, and I
am down and out.
1 did not need this paving, the city
nt large did need it, and 1 am willing
to pay my part' In taxes the same as I
do tit-hoo! tax.
1 do not need tho schools yet I
never try to get out of paying my
share per dollar for building nehool
hottstM and keeping up (he schools
for the public.
I am a loyal cllliqn, 1 will pay my
part of all public tax, but I nm not
willing to be. murdered' by Inchos try
ing to pay this unjust dent.
Mr. Sargent spoko" of men with
$40, 0(10 having mi lnuolt tav. One
dollar of their property Is worth just
figure and will find that tlio pcoplo
In common circumstances will not
have to pay very heavy tnx. Howovor
Lwhen you got It figured, ploase com
pare what yon will pny each year,
with what I have to pay not Including
Uaxes, iim I pay over $160.00 bealtle
my sewer anil water, my valuation Is
about $1000.00.
If J should bo drowning In tho wnt-
.er of Hoguo river, would you pull
,tne out? Certainly, you would hear
my cry, then why not help mo out of
this drowning condition and pay your
own part of the city debt.
Look up tho law and see what It'
says about paving, where the paving
Is more than tho valuation, then yoti
will know whether tho city is in
shnpe to law It over tho people.
J)oes it riot look as If some people
hnvo a caso against the city?
Hid you read the letter from tho
Willamette valley? no you think any
more peoplo from that vnlley will buy
in Mcdford?
If the forefathers of Mcdford did
wrong, tho people on the pavomont
nro not to blame, all will have to
liolp right It.
Mcdford Is a fine llttlo place to
live In, good people, good schools,
good business men, good cllmato nnd
with Its lovely flowers nnd fruit sure
ly It Is idoal.
It Is too bad to let the news go
abroad that some of the council want
lo commence suit on sonio of Mod
ford's good cltlzons becattso they
have not got money to pay their own
part of the improvements and others
too, that kind of news will sail
through the air llko tin airship nnd
peoplo will shun Mcdford as tlioy
would the poison gorm of sinnllpox.
Ilyron said: "Spend money to make
peaco not to forco trouble." You
sponk of all wanting paving In front
of thorn if It. is paid In taxoa. We
wish nil could hnvo It, but, did. you
ever see a county or city where thoy
all paved at onco All can uso tho
paviiiK the same as all use the brldgo,
you tlon't build a hrltlao near ovary
one that Uvea on Hear crook. They
do not build a paved road out to the
Applecnto yet thoy all pay taxes.
People of this city are Intelligent nnd
know a city debt Is their debt as
much as a school debt Is mine.
