In makiuur improvements which its aiiiay.iii!' development, seemed at ihe time to iustifv. tin city went heavily into debt. Had the worldwide depres sion not followed and checked the city's rowlh, these ex penditures would probably have been justified. ii t a loon.-.!! coiiiniuiin v T liar win not learn ironi mis takes of the past. I'ccause the city has frolic too heavily in deb; in the past is no excuse for plunging still more heavily at present in order to afford a unest ionable fin ancial relief to a port ion of the propcrtv owners bv refund ing' their cash expenditures with unsaleable warrants. There is this about the indebtedness floated in the past the city received the benefit; of the expenditures. The water system is a paying investment. The storm and trunk sewers were pumic necessities, uiner liideiitcdncss repre sents needed improvements. Tim Medynski bonding pro posal means nothing in the wav ol development, but is do signed as a relief to those hard up, those who have been caught hy llieir greed in speculation and those who art well-to-do, but seek to shove their personal obligations onto 1 lie community. We cannot, build up a city by exhausting its credit for the benefit of individuals. AVe cannot attract industry and population by high taxes anil bankruptcy. ccssful business man is needed for the job. Those who believe in business ujelhods should vote for Mr. (iates. Those who believe in frenzied finance, for .Mr. Medynski. There is no excuse for anyone voting for a candidate with no convictions upon this vital subject, or who, if he has hem, dares not express 1 hem. STATE POULTRY NOT COMPETITIVE MEASURES Tlll'l Medynski plan pretends to remedy only one of the city's financial troubles the pavinir assessments. Jt leaves the other indclitedncss untangled. The Hanson plan is not a competitive measure with the Medynski plan in any sense. It is a comprehensive plan to care for the city's entire indebtedness and presents a carefully prepared schedule of settling all the city's in debtedness so as not to work hardship upon any one. An issue of -1 "),()()() refunding bonds falls due April 1. 1917, with only TM-I,1:U in the sinking fund to meet it. The .Medynski plan provides no way to meet this K0,()(X). An other issue of bonds to meet it, will be unsaleable; the city must default, its credit be ruined and, baukruptcv be forced. An issue of $-"." city hall and general improvement: boiids falls due February 1, 1t)lS. with uothing in the sink ing fund to meet it. from I hence on through the next twenty years, other issues of bonds fall due, with nothing in the sinking funds. The Medvnski plan provides no wav of meet iii"; this indebtedness. AVith the citv's credit al ready exhausted bv the huge bond and warrant, issue it cnlarls, there will be no wav of nice! intr ohliirat ions. The Hanson plan takes care of alt of this outstanding indebtedness, maintains the city's credit and keeps down taxation to a reasonable basis. 'There ought not to be a shadow of doubt in the mind of anvone who has given the subject thought as to relative merits of the two plans, for the Medynski plan does not in any way solve the city's! hnanciaj troubles it niull iplies t hem. NEXT TUESDAY The Southern Pacific company, through the good offices of Agent A. .1. Van Waning of this city, lias granted vi.-illors to the slate poultry show to be held In Medfoid next week opening at Tuesday noon, spcciul rales to this point rroin Wlllumelte valley and other stations on the route.
