As to the merits of the Mcdynski and Hanson plans, there ran lie no iiestiiin in the minds of anyone that has jiveii the suhject study. The Mcdynski plan increases the city indebtedness to a point where it impairs the city's credit, without coiiferiinj; any benefit. It is like standing in a quagmire, pulling nt your boot straps to pull yourself over the fence, and only settling deeper into the mire. Its ado it ion would be calauiatoiis to the best interests of Med ford. The Hanson plan provides an equitable and compre hensive schedule for settling the entire city indebtedness without increasing the general indebtedness or impairing the city's credit. It gives the owners of property upon paved streets tiuin to meet their obligations on easy pay ments and frees those that have paid or desire to pay in full from the Men upon their property. It has the endorse ment of bankers and business men generally. Three candidates are in the field for mayor (.'. K Gales. I V. .Mcdynski and II. (). N'oi'il wick. The platforms of these candidates all pledge themselves to law enforce ment and maintenance of the public market. The only vital issue in the rampaign is ihe refinancing of the city, and upon this subject Mr. dates stands for the Hanson plan, .Mr. Alouvnski lor In-- own straddles. Ihe latter s c.-uididacy is consented to byjhe Mcdynski force:: to split the Gates vote. A vote for Xi i-dwick is a vote for .Mcdynski. Ju the three wards, two tickets arc in the field, one fa vorable to the Hanson plan and one favorable to the Mcdynski plan. The .Mcdynski ticket is labelled "'non partisan," while no designation appears upon the Hanson plan advocates. The .Mcdynski candidates are H. '. Glascock, first ward; 15. .J. Trowbridge, second ward; K. S. Hitzler. third ward. Their opponents are Earl II. Gaddis, John 11. Car kin and 11. P. Hargreave. Those who believe in a business administration and straightening out once for all out1 tangled finances will vote for .Mr. Gates, and Messrs. Gaddis, Carkin and Hargreave, all men of high moral and business or professional stand ing. Med ford has been drifting long enough. Vc need a progressive administration that, will aid materially in re storing the city's credit: and former enterprise an admin istration that will put a little "pep" in Medford. A "SCIENTIFIC" SOLUTION EL. M VIA KM;, formerly of Medford, who last week in Portland gave a physical demonstration of "manhood maturity" by drawing a knife upon the mem bers of the "Forty-five Efficiency club,'" might be called the dean of the. Medford school of finance. Mr. McClure was the first among our financial doctors. He was the author of ''Scientific Money," and filled the local newspapers with articles concerning the same. His theory called for the deiuonitiation of gold and silver as money standards, and the substitution of currency based upon the material resources of the country a scheme which has been adopted to some extent by the belligerents of Europe to finance the war. It is too bad that Mr. McClure left Medford before other financiers started to solve Medford's financial ills. Iike them, he worked purely from altruistic and philan thropic motives to free the poor people from the oppres sions of plutocracy. He also believed the world a vast con spiracy against the masses, lie would have applied "sci entific money" to the payments of our debts, in sonic such coin's,' as this: Medford's assessed valuation is 1,00(1,000 therefore an issue of .f 1,0(10,000 of uoii-iuterest bearing currency would be authorized for the payment of our debts. The rest of the streets could In-paved and the money left over distrib uted as a bonus to everyone for living in Medford. When this "scientific money" had all drifted east to pay for autos and gas.iliire, .ludn'e Crews' simple expedient could be adopt cil. the assessed valuat ion of 1 lie property doubled and another issue of scientific money put out. and the pro cess cont iniietl indefinitelv. There are many adau!ages for the McClure plan over the Mcdynski scheme of finance. The money would be noli interest bearing, and we would not be penalizing all property to help other properly out. We would not; be doubling our debt to pay part of it, and we would escape an S per cent annual tax levy. Mr. McClure 's gospel fell upon a cold and linappreci ative world. I rootling upon the wrongs of downtrodden humanity finally led him to attempt to right them by "wading through blood and hair." and'he has been sent to Salem. It would lie hard to gather in one statement more mis statements than d. S. Howard made in his letter published Saturday. A sample of t bis is the absurd charge that the Hanson plan contemplated a raise in water rentals. This is false. The Hanson plan, on the contrary, protects the water system by caring for its bonded indebtedness as it falls due bv creating a sinking fund. PROCESS OF THE OF THE A VMl t Hip rtoiT.

These east inns are cylindrical In shape, u'.iout eli;ltt Inches long; and variable in diameter as to the ntv of the rluu:- to bo made from them. These cast ings have on one en-', t'vo ears, cast integral with tho body. These, ears are used to hold the castir.gs In place on the machines, while Ihey aro belni; machined. "Here is the first operation: These cusUuks are placed In the shrper undj planed on the end having Ihe ears.' The pluuiuK trues the cud with thC body of the casting. They are held , ill place In the shapcr by a special I Jig that eliminates any trn.iig tip. From here they no to the drill i press and are placed in a special ji ! that automatically centers them and I exactly spares one hole In each ear of tho caslini;. They are then bolted to a special face plaie on the s-plmHc I of the hthe by the two holes in the ears. They are then turned. Inside; and outside, to the desired diameter and are stored in bins to seasou. ''Now the turned pots are placed on the lathe, the same as before. A iins cut off tool cuts them Into out side rings. As thev come from that operation the operator carefully ex amines each ring, rejecting any tiiat contain flaws in the iron. l'rom here they k to the face plate Ki'lntl cr and are held In place by a mag netic chuck, while they are mound to desired thickness. In this opera-j Hon tho measurements are very ex act, the limit being one quarter j thousandth of an inch, under or over. flaps in Itiiiirs. I "Xext the gaps are cut out In Ihe rings by milling-cutters, the rings be ing held in another special jig. The ends of the ring are now ground at a 4.r-degree angie by a special grind er. They are sprung together and placed In a cylinder slightly larger than desired finished diumeter; and. when the cylinder is filled with rings, it is placed on a combination lathe arbor and magneto chuck, and the rings are clamped by a nut on the outer end of the arbor. That clamps them sidewnyu. The cylinder is then slid off the rings; and the grooves, to accomodate the V or middle ring, are now 'cut In the ring by a V shaped gang tool. This tool Is so designed that it also turns the out side or surface of the outside, rings at the same time; and here, too, ex act measurements are required one quarter-thousandth, under or over. Xow the outside rings are ready for tho middle or A' rings, which have been machined In this manner. The pola for tho mlddlo rings are turned in the same manner as the outside rings, except that they are cut off in a cylinder tho full length of the pot and placed in a multiple. jaw, draw-iu, chuck. Tho middle rings are now machined out with a V shaped gang tool that cuts from the Inside out. These rings have the gaps cut in the same manner as the outside rings. The V-rings are now ploced In the grooves in the outside rings. They are clamped on the ar bor, the electric current Is turned in to the magnet ou the magnetic arbor and the rttips are held in place mag netic-ally Thus (hoy aro ground on the surface to the desired size. This finishes tin: work of machining the ring. "They are now carefully inspected and the three pieces are tied logetll- taken to the packing room and dipped In oil to prevent rusting. They are next w rapped in paper, four in a packuge. and pluced in round flat boxes containing Instructions for I'.i- stalliun.

As'l have heretofore said, I have the highest personal regard for Mr. Mcdynski and be lieve thoroughly in his honesty and good intentions in again putting this matter before the public How ever, 1 think of it just as I did when it was placed upon the ballot before. I regard it as the most dan gerous piece of municipal legislation upon which we have ever been required to vote. If a man is in fin ancial distress, two courses are open to him one is to get the time for the payment of his debts extended and the other is. bankruptcy. This is the present sit uation of the city.
