MILITARY SERVICE 'AS A CURE-ALL
"I
N Hie vcara to t'oinc, none of the ninny ainnzing phe-
noniHiin of 1010 will can.se irreater wondennenl
than our recent (Hst'ovwy tliat iiiiiversal military service
is the cure-nil l'r every one of our Anieriean ills," states
Oswald Garrison Villa'rd, editor of the New York Even
ing Post, in an extended article discussing military ser
vice. The same thought has occurred to man v. The prepar
edness hvsteria, the coercive preparedness parades, tho
i ... ... i.'.. i. . i it... .. i :i:
ciamor ior giganuc iiriniiiiicius, iih? m:w cuitijjiunur.v inui
tary service laws, the effort to make un-American militar
ism a political issue under the name of Americanism, con
stitute a truly amazing phenomena for a twentieth cen
turv democracy.
Mr. Villard points out that universal military training
is advocated as solving the problem ot national uelense, as
making the nation industrially efficient, as correcting
wayward and undisciplined youth, as a tonic for halting
democracy, as a fuse for our melting pot of alien races, and
finally as' supplying a decadent nation with a soul.
Europe for many docades has had tho advantage of
compulsory military service. The world-wide war is the
result. The cruelties aud barbarities of universal con
scription have peopled both Americas with Europe's best
blood.
Jn (Jermany, universal service is not the least demo
cratic but breeds arrogance and aristocracy. Militarism
is the chief support of autocracy. In Russia largo armies
and heavy taxes arc still the weapons to perpetuate tyr
anny. In France, "the perfect model," the army has fur
nished the chief scandals of (he nation shocking graft
and infamy, the Dreyfus and jiumerous other cases.
ilr. Villard-takes the list of nations cited as examples
to America,- including isolated, mountain-locked Switzer
land, to the distant British colonies of Australia, and shows
the discontent and dissatisfaction bred by compulsory ser
vice in even these lands, where the incentive to militarism
is lacking that our own great aggregations of capital seek
ing distant markets and the exploitation of weaker peo
ples supply. The late of the ancient republic, the fate of
the first hYcnch republic, all show what militarism does
for republics.
Concluding, Mr. Villard .says:
l-'or what thono do not mm) who know that iiulvorsnl oorvlco In whnt
wo nood to innko putrlotH by tho million Is Hint tho nplrlt of universal
Hurrltude, whether AuMtrnllnn, Cor in nil or SwIhh niuhus directly AKnliiRt

Hiibordluntloti to thono who nro innHtorH, not uoiowinrlly hvontiBo of mi-
porlor wIhiIoiii or fltnostt, hut lurRoly bocmiHo of accident.

REASONS
E
FOR OPPOSITION 10
RAILROAD
BID
To tho Udlter:
Thoro nro Hcvernl roasoiiH why tho
tax payers of this city should vote
OKalnat accepting the Hullls contract.
1. Hconuso the contract in Illegal.
The Supreme Court has so docldcdo
In tho Jtoscburg case, which wn
based on n Hlmllnr contract.
2. Ducausn the omission to glvo
contract as originally planned Is n
more subterfuge to escape provisions
of said decision.
3. Docuuhc of the statement In
tho cqntrart that the road was neces
sary to ti(! health and penco of tho
city, which we nil know Is not truo.
4. Docaiifio tlio speclflcntlonn are
Inadequate. Fifty-I'oiiud mils are
obaplotc. Modern roads use from DO
to 100-pound ralle.
r. The price .per milo 1b much too,
high, considering the fact that second
hand rails aro to be used.
ft. UccaUBo bids wcro not asked
for upon specifications drawn by
competent engineers.
' ContJiict Is VnKiie.
7. Decnuso tlje contract does not
ntnto by whom or upon what terms
tho rallrpnd Is to ho operated. Will
Medford Im called upon to Issue more
bonds to buy rolling stock, build sin
tlous and etc.?
S, Itccaud.n It would Incrnaso tho
taxes and confisrato property of
widows, orphniiH and Hiobo whp, by
thrift, linvo been able to purchaso
homoH,
9. dlecnuuo II will brand Medford
as ii city of wildcat KclionioB and drive
away luvostorfl by au outrageously
lilgh tax rate.
10. necaiifld It will injure tlio
credit of Medford. Vote HIh down
nnd wo will bo able to Issue refund
ing bonds nt D per cent, upon which
wo or now paying i per cent
1 1. Ilocnusc Interest must he paid
on these bonds, which will eventually
ho held in the east, thoreby taking
moro money out of circulation here,
which, by tho way, Is ono of tho.baslc
causes ot hard times In the west to
day. .
Kdward Kelvin, of Seattle, finan
cial expert, nys that Inflation nnd
high taxos, are the two' loading fac
tors, responsible tor the low prices
of real estate In the west.
Sinellcc"t Mines.
12. IloonuHt a. railroad would not
restore values of roal estate In Med
ford. Cltlos like Spokane, which Is
sued bonds to bring railroads to that
dty aro relatively In worse condition
than M (Hi ford.
13. llecnus If tho Blue Ledge
district' Is all that Is claimed for It,
the logleul place for a smaltur would
be at tho mines, and stores ot all
kinds would locato there.
II. Hecnuse the contract does not
square with the statements made by
the promoters of this schome to In
duce us to vote In favor of the bond
ing amendment. Illuo "Ledgo Facts"
(so-called) Issued by the Commercial
Club, stated that wo would not bo
called upon to pay cither principal .'or
Interest, und now wo are asked not
only to build tho road, but lo take
nil the risk without knowing by
whom it Is to be operated or upon
what terms.
ir. JJccnuse wo arc asked to ns
sumo and agree to pay tho further
sum of $.7,0u0, taking over some as
sets, hut not nil of thoso covered by
this mortgage. In other words, the
prosent owners nre getting rid of
a losing proposition, n heavy mort
gage, and nt the. same time reserving
nil of the nssots having any real
value.
Ilecovery In Sight.
1G, Hccause Medford, along wlUi
the entire coast country, will recover
from this period of doprosslon. His
tory rcpoats Itself. Another wave ot
cnBtcrn buyers will come, and whan
that time arrives, the city which has
the most to offer In healthful, econ
omical living conditions, will profit
the most.
The roasons against accepting this
contract could he continued almost
Indefinitely, while "we ought to do
something" socnis to ho the only rea
son that the avorago man can glvo for
voting for It, they nro like the
Frenchman In the boat, who losing
their oars, wore drifting townrd 'Mu
gra Falls, they had an a.nchor In the
boat, but no rojio. Ono said to the,
ether: "W0 ought to do something."!
"Trow over zee nnk," tho other re
plied. "There cez no ropo to 'e
nnk," whereupon tho othor replied,.!
"wo must do Bomothlug, throw oet
over nnywuy, It may do some good."
