COST OP AUTOMOBILING
ACCOUDlXti td official figures. Jackson county had on
September first registered aiitoiiiobili-s, or one
fo every nineteen inhabitants. This means that every
fourth family lias a niotor car.
Jackson county ranks fourth among tho counties of the
state in number of autos, being exceeded only, in order
named, ) .Miilliiomali, Marion and Umatilla. The increase!
in cars for the first, nine months of the year is !J12, a 28 per
cent tain. Tlie total nuiuber of cars in Oregon is 31,847,
a gain of 82IJ2, or per cent, over 1915. Throughout the
state there is one auto to every twenty-six persons.
Umatilla county has one auto to everv fifteen inhabi
tants, more autos per unit of population than the citv of
lios Angeles,' where there are supposed to be more alitos
than any place, in the world, with one to every sixteen pet
sons.
Assuming the average cost of these autos at 800, which
is about the average cost of the autos of the United States,
there is invested in automobiles in Jackson county
1,144,800, and, in Oregon $25,477,(()0.
It is probable that, with nutoiiiobiling possible the year
around and with long trips customary in the summer sea
son, that the average yearly mileage of each car is 4000
miles. It is probably greater in Jackson county. At fif
teen miles to tlit!' gallon, with gasoline at 2;j cents, the
year's gasoline bill is $107Ji25 for Jackson county and
$2,!88,52f) for the state. The lubricating oil bill will he $12
per car, or $17,172 in Jackson county and $:82,164 in the
state.
The 1119 old cars in Jackson county will each remiire
four new tires and lubes, at, an average cost of 18 per
wheel,' or $80,1(58. The 211,585 old cars in Oregon will cost
for retiring $1,(598,120. The average cost of repairs during
the year will exceed $70 per car on the old cars, or in ex
cess of $78,j;i0 in Jackson county and $1,(550,120 in the
state. '. ." :.,-' .1
Depreciation in 'value on the cars, new and old, aver
iged 20 per cent on the investment, $228,9(50 in Jackson
county and 5,095,520 in the state.
.1. ho automobile bill for the year in Jackson county,
without including sinashups and disasters, or interest on
the investment, can be roughly estimated, then, as follows:
New cars, $279,(500; gasoline, $107,325; oil, $17,172; tires,
$80,1(58; repairs. $78,:s:); depreciation, $228,9(50; licenses
and taxes, $11,448; total annual cost, $803,00:5.
On the same basis, the cost in the state as a "whole is:
New cam, $0,(509,(500; gasoline, $2,388,525; oil, $382,1(51;
tires, $1,(598,120; repairs, $1,(550,120; depreciation, 5,095,-
520; licenses and taxes, $254,77(5; total, $18,078,825. ,
1 he automobile is not only a luxury, but a necessity. It
has come to stay and will increase in numbers as the years
go by until every family has one. .Despite, the cost en
tailed, most people hold the investment a good one, al
though materially contributing to the increased cost of
living. Product ion must be increased proportionately to
justify the expenditure and undoubtedly in most cases
it is. I , ' .
islutioii shall renin in on the Nlutiite
books. The 8trujr;rle in this city is
only a symptom of the purpose and
intention pf oicanizcd cupital."
President Khonts, heiiil of the In
tM'liorniipu and "ffn-en car" surface
syslenii, replied In lliis by saying:
"Labor organizers came here to or
ganize this town, and if they succeed
lliey will do to this city just what the
railioinl brotherhoods dill In the gov
ernment." Ralph Beaverstock of Brownsboro
spent Sunday In Medford.

BAND CONCERT IN PARK
ON WEDNESDAY EVENING
As the Medford fair commences on
Wednesday It has been deemed advis
able to change the usual weekly con
cert data of the Medford band to
Wednesday In place of tho usual
Tuesday of this week. Probably the
feature attraction of the fair will be
the concerts by Medford's splendid
concert band. That the hand will be
a drawing card lias- already been
proven by the enormous turnouts thai
have attended concert after c.oncert
Xovcr in the history of Medford have
there been such vast audiences In
attendance at band concerts as there
have been this Bummer. 1'cople from
neighboring towns and outlylim dis
trict have made It a weekly occur
rence to visit Medford on Tuesdays
alld remain for the evening band con
cert. All these results have been ac
coialillshed only by the untiring ef
forts of the bandsmen and their cap
able leader Bandmaster lowland to
provide the public with attractive
programs, and their "never fall" ap
pearance at the appointed time and
at our city park, and also several
functions at Ashland'H Lithla park,
place. No matter what tho obstruc
tions may have been our; band tills
summer has never failed to turn out
even once. This is a record that the
citizens as well as our loyal muslclana
may be justly proud of. The concert
on Wednesday evening as announced
previously will be In the form of an
"old timers" concert. Several of tho
old favorite songs and selections will
lie Included in the program which
promises to be one of the most popu
lar of the season. t ,
