THE CITY
MEIH'Oh'l) voters will tomorrow elect' a minor and
three eoiiiicilmeii, at tlie-same time passing upon the
adopt ion nr re ject ion of the Mcdynski plan for hondiug t lit
city for .ffloO.OOO to pay t lie outstanding iniproveinent hond
issues of $h'l,'2i) assessed against property for paving,
and adopt in-; or reject in; tlie J lanson lan for rel'iiiaiiciii;;
the entire city indelitedness.
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.

It is at the request of a number of citizens that

highest personal regard for Mr. Mcdynski and be

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

have ever been required to vote. If a man is in fin

to get the time for the payment of his debts extended
