BIRTH
CON
THE RAILKCAD CONTRACT
WITH Hit' spirit of the proposjiJ to loan inuni-ipnl
credit to aid the development of latent resources
by the construction of a railroad to the Blue Ledge mining
district, the Mail Tribune is in hearty accord.
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.

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

THE U. S. Dept. of Agriculture In Experiment Station Bulletin
No. 142 says tliat ten cents worth of wheat supplies almost
three times ns much protein nnd ten times ns much energy ns
round steak, and with some other cuts of meat the difference is
even greater.
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

.To the Editer:
If .Medford is voing to build a rail
road to the Illue Ledge mine, why not
go at it in 11 busiiioss-like way? 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? Should the pres
ent lop-sitled proposition carry it
would be a long time before thy. road
would bo built, if ever. There is a
higher court than the Comemrcial
club, and the .Merchants asaocitt
tion. First Mr. Ilullis) prosed to de
posit .f;lO,(MIO to the city's credit to
Hiv interest on the bonds and to give
a bond that ho would take the road
over iu a year or two and reimburse
Medford for the loan of :100,OI)0. 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?
