BRVAX'S act in resigning from the cabinet is now known by all honest minds to have been a timely, wel-advisetl and powerful demonstration which has grimily availed to keep us out of this foreign war. This inestimable service lo our country and humanity at large may well compensate .Mr. llryan for the abuse f a section of the press and the depreciation of tho ignorant. Mis resignation was the Diggest act of his career, and as suredly the bnt vest, in view of the criticism certain to be encountered from his own partisans as well as opponents. It showed the bold, intuitive genius of the man, and that absolute devotion io principle which has illumined his entire public career It proved him the foremost ex ponent of true demoi raev in our count ry-Mho greatest living force in holding this republic to its' just traditions. nryaugaw uie war ikio rising ami uiirateneng to carry the administration with it He measured the powerful in fluences thitt were seeking to push the nation into the maelstrom of worldwide war. He estimated the irrational cmov or n stupid or sinister press, falselv claiming to voice Jhe sentiment, of the whole people, lie knew that lhe eonvputions of his office held him to certain subor dination and sileu.-e. Ho rpalized that he must meet this great public danger in the open as a free man, without warty or official tninuuels. lie acted accordingly, and pel imps wo shall never fully know how much reason we hne to be glad of his decision. There is probably one pornm who entirely realizes it--tho president of the United State. Mr. llrvan Hung himself into the breach with charac teristic and sagacious daring and instantlv effect i vol v or- plumed the countei revolution against war, that has iHiined ihe phots of the war party. It was a brilliant, mas ;a.i)ly and iuioiunarnble piece of work, and as a public scr PHJij cannot be overestimated.

Last I'rlday'H Mall Trlbunn haa a valuabln editorial treating on our prcHcnt cltydebt and what It will be. under tho .MedynskI plan; nnd bIiow liiK how our debt will then compare with that of other Oregon cities In tho ratio of debt lo nHaeHRcd valua tion. for limtnnce the Tribune riKiirea that our debt will then bo 40 per rent of our valuation, while Salem'rt In only ! pui-cent, ItoKoburj-'H in por cent, Ciikciio'n 14.1 percent and Al Iiiiu.v'h 7 per cent. 1 nuiHt admit a nomewhat I.iiko ills crepanoy betwepn the Tribune's flR ureH and my own In Home of my for mer artlclea on thin debt .situation. And on looking tho matter up I must further admit that u part at leant of tho dlBcroyatio Ik "one on mo." I did not allow to fuller facts that when the Medyimkl bonds are nold they are supposed to wlpo out" our piesent unpaid pavliiK debt, now counted oh a debt on tho city, though If tho lloncroft paving act Is any good It Is really a dubtou tho Individ mil proporty ownors, though of course the city iR.bolilnil them with the bond holders, anil will havo to pay tho debt If tho propertvowners do not. Hut on the othor hand, tho Trib une's figures for our future debt, un der Mcdyiiftki, are much too small, so far as covering the total amount our city must pay Interest on. Thus tho Tribune loaves out entire ly our city school dobt of $121,000, of which umouiit at least !T. por cent fulls on property Inside the Med to id corporation. Also to get the trim amount of debt wu must be taxed on, should be added , another $12,000, as Mod ford's proportionate iharo of tho countVs Interest bearing debt, and still further must be added $11,- 000 of the city's flouting wnrrants. Adding those other amounts to tho Tribune's figures will leave Medford piOlng tines on fl.KOi'.ono, aftor tho MedMiskl plan gets lu action, nnd that Is about as near $2,000,000 as "you can put your ringer In your eo" as tho saying Is. And it also routes mont awfully rlo to a 50 por cunt debt on our total valuation. Hut there Is still another very Im portant consideration right lu this connection, which our people sown- Ingly have paid hut little attention to. and vet it is one of tho most remark able fMturos lu this most remarkable ficheiuo. Now It will tuko a little pretty closo attention to understand this now fea ture, especially If you 8ro not much used to thinking about financial mat ters, so I will illustrate tho matter first b ii little parable: Mr. Smith owes Mr. .lonos $100. Jones u uius tho money, and Smith hasn't not it. Which Inst two condi tions are sure tn prevail In an acute degree. In Medford now and a good deal aiuter under Modynski, especial ly It Smith and .In pen depend on days work or raising fruit for their grub Smith writes out his note for J 100 and oes to tho hank and asks to borrow that amount on the nolo. Tho bank CMdalns to Smith that his credit Is not quite so gltt-odged as it used to !, und that $75 Is the limit on this floa uote. Smith takes tho mono) ii ud Rmw away owing the hank J 100. II nays Jones the $75 and still ones him $!tft. llo thus owes $1S". todat, where osterda he owed only $to. nnd has nothing to the good to how for thp extra $2 Now mii' Hi's rondinon alter this truliSMi lO'ii otih M good deal wor and more of It, Is what Medford's condition will bo tinder the dispensa tion or th6 Mcdynskl plan, tho blessed. When the clly has taken over bod ily tho $r.('0,000 of unpaid paving debt, which tho property owners now owe to somebody; and lu ndditlon thereto creates a new debt of $170, 000, representing the paid up paving debt, mid which nobody now owes to mi) body, but Is to be used to carry out the free gift enterprise known ns the refund: and the city has made Its bond issue of $l,ori0,00(j to cover these debts, then what? Just this Out of whatever amount tho $1,030,000 bond Issue realizes In tho bond market, the lucky fellows who have their names In the grand refund, free gift, Jack-pot, will get theirs In full. Then whntever Is left from the bond sale will go toward reducing the unpaid paving debt, of $5(10,000 the city has taken off the property owners. Now keep your mind on this next statement: lly whatever amount this new bond .Issue has to be discounted, that Is by whatever sum less than the full $1,0110,000 they are sold for, then by Just that much will tjia unpaid paving dobt bo left ns an nddltlonnl debt on the city; Just as thnt addi tional $21 was left on poor old Smith's back, In tho above parable. And thnt uncancelled pnvlng debt will draw Interest for tho taxpayers lo pay, day and night, seven days In the week Juat as all tho rest of our city debts are doing and will continue to do. As lo how much of n discount tho bonds will have to be sold for, one man has as good n right to guess ns onoiner. i nongn ono man's gnos may bo very much nearer tho right figure than tho other man's. Our original six- per cent paving bonds sold at HO cents on tho dollar, nnd that too at a time when all of Med ford's prospeots worn bright and promising, and our credit gllt-edgeil, II Is n pretty safe guess to mi) Hint now these five per cent bonds, Issued nt n tlmo when Medford's pros ent condition nnd future prospects are so deplorable and the furthor fact becomes known that the weakness of our city charter makes possible even still further acts of such crnzy fin ance ns this Medynskl plan, thnt the discount will bo of a magnitude to make the former pnvlng bond dis count of four per cent, look like n good henlthy promlum. That tho bonds will bring ns much as !iu cents on the dollar looks to me like a wild nnd fevered dream. And us to soiling them on "the popu lar loan plan," which Is the only al ternative the Medynsk: act leaves to the city council from selling them for the best price offered, that Is a wlldor d renin yet. Itlght around home hero Is the only chance of putting out n popular loan of any magnitude, and where Is there any bank or capitalist near here who will put any of his be loved kale Into shnkv ."i por cent bonds, whun people are falling over themselves to borrow nil thero Is looo at S per cent on the best real estate tecurlt ? We auk vou where? Hut don't all speak at mice. Anyhow, If anv such good luck hap pens as the bonds selling for 00 cents on the dollar, oven that will leave $IOo,ooo of the original unpaid pav ing debt for us to pay Interest oil. While if thoy bring only so cents on the dollar, which Is a much more llkol figure, thou It will b $200,000 left to add to the $2,000,000 Medford must bogln to dig up Interest on, tho morning after tho bright sun of tho Medynskl millonlum begins to Irrndl ate the landsonpo.
