Everybody will welcome the cash, and if the measure reaches a vote, there is little doubt it will earn. That the proposed bond issue shtJuld be enlarged to do for the entire county what the rebonding proposition is calculated to do for .Med ford is the suggestion of an or- chardist, who writes as lollews: Your county bonding scheme Ih all right nn far ns It rock, but It docs not do for tlm farmer what tho Mpdymikl plan docs tor the city lot owner. Tnlie my own case, which Ik the enso or inan others. I bought hoiiic land nnd inndo a part pnment, giving a mortgage for tho balance. I built u bungalow nnd planted an orchard and mndo other Improvements, nnd for flvo jonrn have taken excellent care of tho place. To do this I have had to borrow monoy, as there in practically no Income from n young orchard, and tho drouth has crippled farm operation)). I.lko tho lot owner, I have made permanent Improvement)! which ben efit tho county. The money borrowed Ih duo. I have no way to meet It. Ih Jochflon county going to we me cleaned out after all 1 hnvo done? Wh dooH not the county pome to my rccup by atotumlng my Indobtodtienn and lot the entlie county pay It In future taxation? Make tho bond Ikhuc largo enough to take care of nil the farmcrn' mort. gagt'i. Don't rorce uh into imnimiptey ami urive us out or tito country. The case is a parallel one "to that of the city home owner, but not to the vacant lot owner, who bought as a speculation and was caught, and who ha- made no use of his proper! v and never intended to make tin v. Tho count v s under ,iu.t as much obligation to act as wet nurse for the orchardisl as Med foul is for the lot owner. If the community is going into paternalism and assume personal obligations and pay the debts of the lot speculat ors as provided under the Medynski plan, tin re is much more reason whv i! should assume the debts of hose useful members of society who have made two blades of grass grow where one grew before. Lot us by all means bond both city and county for the benefit of tliose hard up. Le! us prosper temporarily indi vidually by the permanent bankruptcy of the community. It shows our patriotism and high citizenship. Let us lax ourselves rich. Let us lift ourselves into prosperity by fugging1 at our boot-straps. THE HOGGISH METROPOLIS THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC! haendeavorod to tissisl Ihe lumber industry of interior Oregon by making rates for shorter hauls from the interior to California less than the rate for the longer haul from Portland. This commendable effort .on the railroad's part is meeting with strenuous opposition on the pari of Portland, which litis filed protest with the interstate commerce commission, claiming that Portland's waterways entitle it to a lower rate, The result of this effort, if successful, will be the shut ling down of numerous interior mills and the cheeking of tho development of Oregon, in order to build up one city, already too large for its territory. It is the same shortsighted, pinhead policy that Port land has always pursued the, throttling of Oregon for its own selfish development. And Ihe result- of this policy is that Oregon is Ihe least developed of Pacific coast states and Portland over-built, with, according to an investiga tion by the United States department of labor, the highest percentage of unemployed men of any city in the United States. The federal investigation shows 2(1 per cent of Port land wage-earners out of work, and 17..'. per cent working pari of the time only. This is due directly to the lack of development of the state, lade of industries in the state, for which the Portland policy is responsible. As long as Portland can ship cheaper than any othei pari of Oregon, as long as Portland concerns combine to maintain a monopoly, this condition will continue to exist nnd Oregon remain undeveloped. .lust what the affected regions think of Portland is shown by the following dispatch in the Portland Oregon ian: CAItlrOX, Ore., Oct. 21'.. There wan a lane ntloiuhtnro of merelinnla, fanner and laboring men nt a maun nicotinic held hero tonight under the auaptrea of the Hoard of Trade to protest tiguliiHt tho tight being made l I'oillund huwiiiIIIk upalimt then new Willamette alloy lumber ratox to Northern California and Snu KrauelHcn bay polntx, uhlrh have JiiHt been printed b the Southern Pacific railroad Thin town, and the rountiy for 10 mile around it, are dependent upon the Carlton mill, nnd when the mill In operating ever) man's hoii hax work, the uioiolmuu do a thriving IiiihIiipm and even body Is ntoiiporoim.

And that also on the too fnvornhle (iHfluniptlou tbnt Medford property will bo able to stay where It now In, Instead of going down the toboggan us It certainly will when Kehl's-Mcd-ynskl plan Is adopted, nnd at property goes down, taxes will go up, and as taxeH go up, property will go down ngain, and then taxes wilt go up some more, and there you have It. .Mr Felil says the paving will cost no more under Mcdynskl's than ns originally aBsesacd. lint he carefully avoids any discussion of the self evi dent fact that under Medynski, the burden will be mostly lifted front the vacant lots nnd placed 'on the backs of the homo owners. Thin Is probably a pretty ticklish point with Mr. Fnhl for he and his crowd, are by nil accounts, pretty ex tensive owners of paved vacant lots themselves. And see how fnlr nnd truthful Mr. Felil Ih In his personnl remarks about any one else who bus the temerity to point out tho enormity of the Medynski schema, In the papers. For Instance ho says I do not pny my own paving assessments. Now I have no paving frontage ex. ccpt 104 feet on South Oakdnle. On this I hnvo made thiee rull yearly payments, principal and Interest, and aftPr that paid the Interest for two mote years, having paid, as tho rec ords will show, $r,:i.'i In all. In fact, tho present yenr Is tho rirst I have not mndo out to pay something on my paving. Yet the Just and truthful Mr. Fchl would have you believe that I, like mnny of tho chief boos ters for tho Medynski plan, have paid nothing at nl) on my paving. Had not three disastrous fruit years put mo o'n the blink, 1 would not owe one dollar on my paving as sessments today. Knually misleading nnd unjust nro .Mr. Fehl's assertions as to the Irriga tion of my orchard In tho year I'JH, Ho says I used the full flow of two liydrunlH, ono itjn Holly street nnd one on Oakdale that .oar. As a mat ter of fad I did not use a diop of vvnter from llollj street and never it full flow at any time rrom Oakdnle. I wax only pormlttod to uso tho vvntor fiom 2 to 4 o'clock In tho morning when It would pother Vviso hnvo gono to waste, anyway. I Irrigated only a small part of my orchard and paid full schedule rntes for nil 1 used. Aside from this 1 pny $10,50 every threo months for wator for my Iioubo on Oakdale nnd my son's house on Stewart avenue. So much for Mr. Fehl's ehnrgn of "favoritism." shown mo on the city wnt'er question. Now, In nil truth and fairness, I ask the Voters or Medford what reli ance can be placed upon the state ments of a man who will dollberntoly publish against auother who ventures to oppose this Medvnski plan, such unjust untruthful and libelous state ments ns ho has published against me?
