Jt is realized that Medford has passed the .stage where the ordinary conservative do-nothing policy would benefit city or country. The city must resort to the extraordin ary and assist in unlocking the doors of opportunity. But in doing this the city's interests should be safeguarded as much ns possible. The question is, does the contract sub mitted to the people to vote upon July 10 sufficiently safe guard the city in its investment? The Mail Tribune believes that if the Blue Ledge mine was in continuous operation the city could well afford to give the $.300,000 for the railroad. But it ttlso believes that u the city votes $.100,000 to transform an idle million dol lar investment into a profitable one the owners thereof ought to reciprocate by guaranteeing by surety bond a cer- ..?.. I f it. ! 1 i i inui annual revenue lor mo operated or not. Private capital would demand this guar-.. aiiii'i'i aim u i ne mine owners no noi menu ousuiess ana ine project siiouid lie dropped. The timber companies in the Butte Falls section furn- ished letters and telegrams and all sorts of promises of operation if the P. & li. were built, ft was, at a cost of !?J,iiU0,U00 and never a promise was made good. It opcr ates at an annual loss. The charier amendment month authorized the city to contract submitted not only 1...1.1-!.. .. it fl ijy lUKing over ine nariium $07,000, creates that much more indebtedness than author ized. The proceeding will, therefore, probably be held void by the courts and there will be that much valuable lime lost. Jt is proposed to build a railroad .for which not even a survey has been made, and it is impossible to estimate the probable cost without a survey. It is not even known whether it is possible in the future to extend this line toward the coast, or whether the -1500-foot pass above the mine and the 3000-foot drop to the Klamath river and the timber belt can be successfully negotiated. Without a sur vey, it is all guesswork. It is not, however, the waste a lot of space discussing this contract, which, with its extraordinary meager specifications, speaks for itself. It is lor the voters to decide sulficiently salegnarded. MILLIONS LOST ALONG GOLF COAST ! Ni:V OHI.KAXS. Jttlv r.

NKW.MAN. COMMUNICATIONS -f To the Editw: Two editorial in a rorcnt edition uf your Htper touehetl a theme 011 which there U too little written, .nml to which there it loo little tliouplit jrivcri. One wa under the hendtn? of "Cliiid PoveHv and Charity"; 'lhe ether. ".Mhn Loinr Ilia Plaoo nr Provider." Thw wore both pood, ami any one who did not road them at the time would do well to look up the number nnd read nml tudv them. Our country underwent one period of davorv. a period when the nogro was bought nnd fold, was mistreated and benteu. all for the purpose of gratifying the jtreedy, rHioious do irew of'tlie mlave-owuor. Wo washed that blot from the stnrs nnd stripes with tho hltiod of a million men. hut today we have another slave the workintr mun. True, he is Inrire lv reM)iiille for 1i!h own condition, for, Hiilike the former slnvp, ho hna tlic'riirht of the ballot. Hv slrntojne mauiimlntions liis owners have per suaded the worker lo cast hi ballot in ways Hint have welded the bonds of subjection abotil the modern slnvo until lie is in 11s pitiable a plight as the negro ever was. He is in a more pitiable plight, breuiiho the former' muster fed hi slave, while the mod ern owner leaves his to starve, or at the best. leaves him to the mercies of charity. The first slave was driven to servitude bv mere force of Htrengtli. He was taken captive and forced to work for his muster. Tho. modern slnvo is forced into servitude hv his own liallol, thus Mumping the ;slianii'fiil act with his own upprobii-1 lion. 1 do not speak of local conditions, of course. We are in tl nirnl sec tion where greater freedom reigns, but in the broader sense of view nothing eon save the worker but a system of cdtieutiuv I lit musses in tho art of easting the ballot. Train ing in that impp mnlter will be pro tluctho of hetlcr results than train ing at target practice or feiioing with the deadly sword. Twenty years npi a movement wits started through our public suhooW to educate the chil dren njAiiust the evils of tilcoliol. They weic (might that it cotifaiiied poison. What has been the result I Those school children of twenty yours ago have become men and wo men and Imve mu relied to the polls ami east their ballots. No power of the opposition can stop them; they tire Invincible because thuy are edu cated. The worker has for years listened (u the siren plea of tho monopoly. The mun who represent those con iiorns cry aloud for spueinl privi lege. The gUt of their hue aud cry is "(live us protection ami wo will give you higher wages." The woikur catches up the ciy aud (Hisses it on. "Protect lhe monopolies and they will xivu us better wages." And so it has gone on mid on, until now the monopolies are at a point whom thev onn force protection for lliem selve; they can foreo the ctst of living up uuil force the wotkeiV wages down. What wo neisi is some groat-hciot-ml hiiK-iuuitarimi (o stem tho ourrent of this ftilae philosophy and, like Harriet Ileechnr Stowo, turn the tidu in favor of the modem slave. Othov men besides Socrates, in their own time and wnv. have drained the hem-' lock 1 up rather than -nrmiili'i' their own toiiMctmii-.

If then, ono really desires to reduce her weekly meat and grocery bills, she need only make more use of her oven. Who evrr heard man, woman or child complain that Reed homr.made biscuits, muffin, cake and cookie appeared on the table too often? Instead the tendency Is "to make a meal of them" and the variety Is ro great that something you bake yourself could well be the chief feature of every meal. Home Baking is Simplified by the Use of K C Baking Powder Wit". K C you can make tbinf s moist and rkh yet have them light and feathery, wholesome and digestible. Biscuits may be mixed the night before and baked fresh for breakfast. Muffins need not b dry and heavy You can make cale so light that you can hardly get It out of the pan whole, yet it will not fall. t K C Is not like the old fashioned baking powderc. It Is double acting and continues to give off leave wng ga until the dough ta cooked through. K C is sold at a fair price a large can for 23 cents. This would be no object if strength and purity were sacri ficed, but every can is fully guaranteed under State and National Pure Food law and to please. We take all the chances.

Get the survey made, gut the right of way ami then gel up specifications mid ntlvcttisc for bids to build the rond, giving it to the lowest responsible bidder that can .furnish bonds to protect the city?

I fail to see anything iu his proposi tion where he proposes to make good tho wildcat scheme should it be vot ed down. If there nmt be a road built, let the county build il, for if it will benefit Medford it will be a benefit to the entire county. Then why should Medl'urd take all the risk? . .1, DLTMH1LL.
