TO
A MUTUAL BASIS
The Jackson County Farm Bureau
has decided to market livestock and'
farm produco on a cooperative basis,
This action was taken by tho execu
tive committee of the bureau at its
monthly meeting June 19. Roland
D. Flaherty, secretary-treasurer was
elected manager and will be In
charge ot all shipping on a purely
cooperative basis.
The lack ot an efficient and ade
quate marketing system for livestock
end farm produce hus long been
realized by the farmers of the county.
The more progressive ones have al
ways looked forward to the time
when they would have a county-wide
organization which could support an
agent In the field.
The wide awake farmers and cit
izens of the county will watch with
deep concern the success . .of this
movement. These men have had lit
tle encouragement for Increased pro
duction under our present system of
marketing. In fact, unless a farmer
has produced in quantities ot carload
lots or more he was lucky if he sold
at all. This is a deplorable situation
for a productive and beautiful vailey
like ours. ' This is an agricultural
valley and upon the success and pros
perity of the farmers depends the
prosperity of all other enterprises.
Cooperative shipping if properly han
dled will give staple prices and a
ready market which will mean pros
perity for the valley. .

TOO AUTOCRATIC!

To tho Editor:
Noticed vour invitation in an edi
torial of recent date that believed an
honest discussion of school budcet
was necessary and would be highly
enlightening. Dr. Kiddell has given a
statement, and some one else under
tho nom-do-plumc, "Educator," has
tried to give somo information to
some of the less favored.
The school board is asking for an
increase on account of higher costs:
now let the board publish a statement
showing the comparative increase
something like the following:
Teachers' salaries for venr 1018-
1!. if'.'j.OOO: 1919-20, $:10.000. In
crease. ;.UUU.
Janitor hire, for venr 191S-19.
$0,000; 1919-20. $7,500. Increase,
$1,500.
superintendent s salary, for venr
1918-19, $2,500; 1919-20; $3,000. In
crease. s-fiOO.
And all other expenses that are
contemplated. Let the board itemize
these expenses so that thev can be
quickly comprehended by the average
voter, who docs n little thinking for
himself. Get nwnv from this attitude
"We must have this amount or the
schools will have to close." The vot
ers are not going to be, scared into
anything.
A word in regard to the school
clerk. This position has always been
filled by a Qualified school voter.
and until this year no trouble has
been experienced in finding a capable
person to fill the position. Mr. Voter,
will vou speak to the person who has
been clerk and find out what the
trouble is there f
I do not think there is n voter but
what is in favor of good, free schools,
but does expect true efficiency, and
not what one man calls "efficiency

here was with County Agent Cate.
Relative to the visit at Crater lake
yesterday thev stated that thev were
able to get within a mile and a half of
the lake by auto and made the rest of
the trip afoot. There is hardly a
doubt thev said but that the road to
the lake will be opened clear to the
lodge bv Julv 1st. as crews of men
are still hard work clearing away
tho snow, but the going will be sloppy
for some time thereafter. In places
the snow is still banked five feet deep,
through which paths have been made.
Thev report seeing a half dozen
other visitors' plodding along to the

BARKER ESTATE
PORTLAND, June 28 O. H. Fith
ian, R. It. Sabin and A. A. Llndsley
as appraisers of the estate of the late
Simon B. Barker, prominent rancher
and business man of Portland, did
not stale all tV a.-st-ta ot the estate
and thereby caused the inheritance
tax to c!l too short, according to O.
P. Hoff, state treaeurer, in a petition
filed in the eor.nty court today. Hoff
demands a re-assessment and ap
praisement of tho estate. The as
sets of the Harker estate were placed

Tho Salvation Army drivo in Jack
son county for funds will end toulKht
when tho campaign in tho entire
state ends. Indications wore this
nftornoon that tho Medford district.
comprising this city and all ot the
county north from Phoenix, will bo
about ?1000 shy of its allotted quota
$4650, and that tho county would bo
about $500 short ot its quota. Tho
week's drive has been lu vuargo of
tho Elks.
'It is surprising that Jackson
county and especially Medford should
fall to moot their quotas," said T. B.
Daniels, who has charge of the local
campaigu for tho Klks. The expla
nation? Why, that's simple. Tho
people thought that tho quota would
be so easily reached and over-reached
because of the popularity ot tho Sal
vat Ion army, that many of the usual
ly most liberal contributors as well
as tho non-liberals, to causes ot this
kind, made small contributions.
Tho Elks ladles are working hard
on the streets today in on effort to
