Medford's problem is a business problem. It is concerned with facts and figures, and definite business poli'-ies, not with personali ties and sneaking innuendos. The .Mail Trilun intends to give the facts concerning the pres ent administration, facts substantiated by the records, und to show why the policies of this administration must 1 continued if the welfare of Medford is to be preserved. On these facts this paper will rest Its case, content with tlte verdict of the people at the polls. THIS was The -Mail Triliiuie's statement at tliu opening of the city cmnjifiiKii. It represents an editorial policy that has been strictly adhered to. Now what are these facts substantiated by the official city records? First rcpii'dinx dollar water, which Mr. Lindas advocates. The records show that up to the advent of the tiates administra tion the city water department was operated at a loss of approxi mately .$10,000 per year. They show that since then, the Gates administration, 'by strict economy and .skillful management, have changed a loss of $10,000 into a profit of approximately siS0IIO a year. lint they also show that with the yearly payments to meet on the water indebtedness of $10,000 a year and with $13,000 a year required for a sinkiiif,' fund to pay off the $05,000 in bonds which fall due at the end of 10 years, this $H0(I0 a year falls short by approximately $15,000 of making the water department pay its own expenses. N'ow these figures tire correct; they art! substantiated by E. M. Wilson the well known certified accountant, and they show beyond a" question that instead of reducing the minimum water rnte and thus increasing the loss on the city water system, the water rates bad to be increased as they were, if the city of Medford is to pay its debts i:nd sustain its credit. So much for The official records also show indebtedness of the city has been decreased during the dates ad l liiiishrnt ion hv a tolal of il'lHI.oliO.OI anil the cash on hand increased by $2G, 158.1:!, anil this splendid time ot business depression, (luring a time when costs lor everything increased, without raising the burden on the tax payer. And it is this sort of business publicly condemned and that he asks the people of Medford to repudiate. There is the issue between Omltlis and Lindas, an issue in busi ness nrineinles and business methods. If these figures are not cor rect why doesn't the opposition show where they are incorrect in stead of clouding the issues by slinging mud and indulging in silly and irrelevant personalities. THE CITY COUNCIL ISSUE. TIIK MAYOrtALITY fight is getting more advertising than it ' deserves. Under the Medford charter the Mayor has no more power than any councilman excepting that he heads the ticket and presides at the council meetings. Electing (!addis without electing the couneilineii who believe in bis business policies, would be fatal as far as maintaining Mr. Gad dis' platform is concerned. . . " Tho -Mail Tribune therefore, calls attention; to tho following can didates, who aro pledged to' these fundamental principles, a pro gram of sound finance, economy and common sense business methods: First ward, J. W. Jacobs and J. II. Butler. Second ward, O. Alenderfer and 13. II. Janney. Third ward, B. AV. Paul and J. W. Dressier. The election of these men does not mean tliere will be no change in the policies of the past regarding details, for the Gates adminis tration with this election passes out of office, and new conditions de mand new policies but it does mean that the basic principles of fi nancial administration will be continued, and that is the big out standing issue in the present campaign.

I feel that this most deplorable af fair should not be passed over lightly, j It is a most regrettable situation, when the janitor of the court house has it; in his power to Insult a number ot time honored pioneers of the Rogue; River valley as well us the mayor of Jacksonville and many law-abiding, self respecting citizens. Tho court house does not belong to the janitor thereof, nor docs it belong to the county court. It belongs to the. people of Jackson county. No possible j excuse can no ouereu lor sucu u. huilc of affairs for arrangements bad been made last Thursday, with the county court, for tho use of the court house for Saturday evening. It therefore became the duty ot the janitor to see that the building was warmed and lighted when the speakers arrived. ALICE A. SARGENT. Jacksonville, Oregon, Oct. 30, 1922. Says Issue Is Wet or Dry. To the Editor: Tho situation confronting the people of Jackson county today is that wo hiivu a wet sheriff, controlled by Evan Kennies; we have a wet dis trict attorney, controlled by I'orter J. Neff. Jf we elect E. K. Kelly, who is their candidate for circuit Judge, we will have a wet sheriff, n wet district attorney and'a wet circuit judge, con trolled by a wet element. Consider ing the awful timn we have had to rid Jackson cqunty of some of its worst bootleggers, wltat would it be if wc elect E. E. Kelly, circuit judg"? iils record, as district uttorney is suf ficient to condemn him in the eyes of every law-abiding, right-thinking ; voter of Jackson county and of Josc- phlno county. C. M. Thomas is the candidate for circuit judge of those people who want the proper law enforcement, who want clean government, and who want a Judgo selected by the pepple, elected by tho people, to servo the people and who do not want a judge picked by a handful of lawyers, rep resenting and sympathizing with the liquor traffic. C. M. Thomas has mnde a record for himself in the state legislature and In the state senate and as director of the Medford school district, which commends him to every right-thinking, law-abiding citizen ns being the right man for circuit Judge for Jack sou and Josephine counties. I appeal to all the voters of Jack son nnd Josephine - counties, both men and women, who want clean government, who want the proper law enforcement, to not .only go to tho polls nnd vote for C. M. Thomas, but from this day on to give their undivided efforts to his election. E. ('. EAllEit, Central Point, Oregon. i Why Judgo Calkins Acted. To the Editor: -J. The most significant fact In this campaign is tho public announcement '. 'by Judge Calkins of his intention to vole for Coloney Kelly for circuit judgo. It should inako every' voter wonder what is the matter with Thomas, when Judgo Calkins, a re publican, and tho most universally respected man who ever sat on the bench In Jackson county, comes out in a letter to the voters announcing his support of Kelly. The reason Is plain. Judge Cnlklns has taken this step because he felt It to bo his duty to tho public. The same argument applies to the lawyers who have en dorsed Kelly. Thoy realize that with nn Incompetent on tho bench, the cost to tho county nnd to nil jmen having business in the courts will be enor mously increased on account ot thy appeals and reversals nnd errors duo to Thomas' lack of knowledge of the laws. Judge Calkins, by reason of his po sition, is familiar with the nbilitv of every nlwyer, and with the qualifi cations of such lawyers for circuit judge more familiar than any other person in tho district, and certainly nn emergency In this district has arisen when as conservative and con- Clean Up Poison Soaked Kidneys Advises Dr.Carey Thousands Die Every Year Be cause They Allow Poisonous Deposits to Accumulate 'in Kidneys Don't flush your kidneys with harsh makeshifts, says Dr. Cnrey; they nro too frail ami tleitentely con structed to treat them rough.

Girls Who Wed Age Must Take Chances, Judee Tells Bride (Hy International News Service.) DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 31. Young girls who marry old men "must take their chances," Judge Clayton C. John son, of Coldwater, declared in circuit court here, after listening to attorneys for Joseph A. Curts, president of the Curts Candy company, and Mrs. Mar garet Averil Curts, argue the latter's motion for $75 a week alimony. "This court is not going to lend it self to any scheme to make a profit from marriage," suid the judge. Mrs. Curts' attorneys, referring to Curts as the "Candy King," declared bis income $18,000 a year. His counsel termed him a bankrupt and asked that tho amount be reduced materially. It was then that the court delivered his decision. Tim alimony was set at $15 a week. Mrs. Curts, in her cross bill, declared that Curts spanked her one day as she stinted to leave her home with a woman friend. Her age was given as twenty-two and bis as fifty-four.
