Your coir, spout W years in Jack
sonville Monday. Marooned citizens
worn out raking "i old wins and rub
bish', spurred on by Col. Kurgonl, nml
Dm report that it bid tin of hootch had
been discovered in a liruslipilo.
Let llic iiiininiiiiii requirements of Metlford's necessary chari
table organizations lie totalled, then solicit contributions to make up
this total, with tin' explicit understanding tliat no more drives will lie
sanctioned or supported. In tliis way, ami in ths way only, can tlie
h-ivc pest, inherited from tlie war, be annihilated.
Jlcdl'oiV; can not escape, and we don't believe a majority of the
people wish to escape, certain obligations ol a charitable nature,
which arc necessary in every community. Hut this does not mean
met ioning all the campaigns contemplated, nor blindly allowing in-
crested parties to determine the amounts necessary in their partieu-
ir departments. There must be elimination, co-ordination, and con
centration, and the only practical mcthuil toward tins end, as we
ee it, is the creation of a community chest, placed in the hands of a
omniittee, that can be depended upon to eliminate duplication of ef-
ort, pare the demands down to the bone, anil in general cut the t,rar-
menl to the available cloth.
f something of this sort is not done, then we can see no escape
roni the drive epidemic, for as far as discovered, the recent legisla
ii re passed no anti-drive law. J I" there were no charitable demands
which must be met, if there were no organizations established, whose
oiilinnanee the public welfare demands, the drive bug might be
starved, by simply cutting off the money supply.
nl this is not the case, and unforliinalely promises never to be
the case. "We believe there are hundreds of people in Medford who
would contribute liberally to a drive-to-end-drives, who would gladly
roller a liberal amount if they knew that such amount would end all
iemaiuls lor at least a year.
They must also be satisfied Hint the community fund thus raised,
will lie disbursed Willi discrimination and economy, with a rigid ob
servance of what is absolutely needed, and the selection of the proper
ommiltee can establish this assurance.
The question is an important one, anil worthy of extensive public
onsideratioti. Toward that end this paper gladly offers its columns
discussion, ami communications regarding a community chest,
ire hereby solicited, it being understood that such eoiiiiiiuiiiealions to
ivailable in this paper should not exceed .'100 words.

lo this statement to the Jury.
Attorney (ins Newbury for tho do
feuse In his opening remarks told the

and tho records of Medford firms that
at the lime when White alleges Kvans
was holding him up he was engaged in
putting a vacuum tank oil the Itluo
Ledge mine nuto, and will account for
his movements on the day of the al
leged ciline III this city. This Is the
new evidence upon which tho supreme
court granted a new trial, and W. H.
Coleman, Sam Sundry, Wilbur Antipole,
Charles P. Talent and .Mrs. What have
been subpoenaed. Sales and time rec
ords of the llincs Snider and A. W.
Walker garages and sales departments
will he Introduced in support of tlie
contentious.
Tlie defense will endeavor, according
to its chief counsel, lo show that al
most at the hour set as lilt time for
the commission of the alleged crime,
Kvans was working on the Blue Ledge
car, and that the work was being done
on die complaint of xitn Sandry that
tils machine would not climb-thc Jack
sonville hill.
Ill make thai car climb the Jack-! to a
sonvllle hill." Attorney Newbury told I B i
the Jury, Kvans remarked to Sundry, fci

handwriting expert to determine it the
signature is that of Kvans.
Hefore the first testimony. Prosecu
tor .Moore rciuested that all witnesses
for the defense be excluded. Attorney
Newbury countered with tho request
that all witnesses for the state be ex
cluded. The court ruled that all wit
nesses for both sides he excluded from

prosecuting witness and the parents
of Hie defendant.

was V. U. White, victim of the holdup
und kidnapping, a resident of Grants
l'ass, and a man past middle age. Al
most Willi his first words ho identified
Kvans as his assailant. He told of his
journey by auto from Grants Pass to
Jacksonville, and of being tied hand
and foot in an abandoned prospect
hole.

DAY IS CONCLUDED
As the contracts between the mer
chants and the Trade Expansion com
mittee of the Medford Chamber of
Commerce expired on last Wednesday
and because there has been some delay
in merchants getting together on a re
vised campaign for trade expansion, no
weekly bargains are being collectively
offered this week.
Some of the merchants will continue
giving Wednesday bargains whether
or not it becomes an organized cam
paign as they have found that by so
doing they have made Wednesdays
their second best business day of the
week, whereas in the past that day has
been the poorest.
A meeting of all the merchants will
be called very soon for tho discussion
of trade expansion methods.
