BUNE
VOIE FOR COUNTY
NOT BOOST TAXES
Tho one issue Hint is of greater
Importance to tho voters ot Jackson
county tomorrow than the election of
this man or that man for office is the
road bonds which will be used to
complete the Ashland-Klamath road
and tho Gold Mill bridge.
Tho Medford-Crater Lake highway
Ih financed. Other roads of the coun
ty have been built or are going to be
Improved with funds now available,
but it will require moro money than
an ordinary tax levy will permit to
build tho Gold Hill bridge and com
plete tho partially constructed road
to Klamath and Lake counties.
It will take $200,000 to completo
the Klamath road and build the
bridge at Gold Hill, halt of which
must be provided by the county,
otherwiso the State Highway Com
mission will not invest one cent in
either project, therefore It is most
Important that bonds for $100,000
bo voted at the election tomorrow.
The voting of these bonds will not
Increase taxes over what they now
are In that $100,000 road bonds of a
former Isseu are to be paid during
1923. In fact the voting of these
bonds will permit the completing
two highways which will then be
taken over by the State .Highway
Commission and maintained at the
expense of the state. Tho money
which has formerly been spent to
maintain tho Pacific Highway in
Jackson county and the Ashland
Klamath Falls road may then bo used
to build more lateral roads.
RAISE PRICES ON
LEASED R. R. LAND
WASHINGTON', iNov. C Hail
roads which lease land along their
right of way to private users must
charge rentals equal to the sums
which private owners would charge
or similar property, or the transac
tion thereafter will bo considered by
tho Inter stato commerce commission
as a form of rebating in violation of
law.
Concluding an investigation insti
tuted by Itself In 1917 into railroad
practices In renting property In New
York City, Fresno, Cat., and Spokane,
Wash., the commission held today
that in some cases the fixing of a low
rental charge In leases of lands to
largo shippers had ;been "In practical
effect" a reduction of transportation
charges, amounting to a refund.
The commission based Its conclu
sion chiefly upon facts brought out
by the investigation of conditions at
Spokane, where tho Investigators
found that a city had grown up
around the right of way of the Nor
thern Pacific, making tho lease
privileges on the land of railroads as
well as others valuable.

LODGE EXPECTED
TO
BOSTON, Nov. C Apart from
Massachusetts, where the campaign
has closed with assurances of certain
victory at the polls by both republi
can and democratic spokesmen, pre
election claims haro been unusually
lacking this year in the New England
states. Increased registration of
democratic voters in Massachusetts,
defection of certain republican ele
ments and engagements during tlu
last days of his campaign for re-election
were .factors on which support
ers of William A. Gaston, democratic
candidate for senator, were said to
base optimistic prophecies.
Re-election of Senator Lodge al
though a possibility by a slightly di
minished majority, was confidently
predicted by republican leaders.
At the close of a vigorous cam
paign in Rhode Island, statements by
leaders of two major parties were
conservative, whilo it was admitted
that the closest race was between
Senator Peter (1. Gerry, democrat,
seeking re-election and former Gov
ernor Bookman, -republican. In Ver
mont, where the democratic congres
sional candidates have devoted many
of the campaign arguments in seek
ing modification of the Volstead act,
James D. Kennedy, democratic can
didate in the first district, announced
last night that ho was confident of
victory on the modification issue.
Other democratic candidates ex
pressed merely the hopo of reducing
republican majorities In the state.
New Hampshire, where no I'nited
States senator is to be elected this
year, republicans expect to elect W.
H. Goodnow, their candidato for gov
ernor, und retail! u republican dele
gation to congress. Democratic
heads claim that there has been a
reaction ugalnst the republican ad
ministration which will cause a se
rious reduction of republican majorities.

The First llaptist church choir gave
a sacred concert Sunday evening
which drew a large and appreciative
audience. The program would have
dono credit to any church choir. Two
very pleasing anthems were rendered
by the choir. The ladies quartet was
one of the better numbers, while the
solo by Mrs. Ixrraine Harrison Scott
was thoroughly enjoyed by everybody
present. The Misses Reid gave a fine
duett, and' Mr. Carlton Janes rendered
one ot his finely rendered violin selec
tions. Mr. Scott, the choir director,
plans to grudunlly add to the musical
ability of the choir und will emphasize
the regular services as well as the
monthly concerts.
Rev. F. R. Leach In a forceful and
plain message siKike on tho call today
for n zeal which Is tempered with
knowledge and common sense. He
spoke of tho strained relations exist
ing nmong the nations, nnd the empha
sis on differences among classes and
sects. Attention was directed to tho
need of sane leadership in the lKilill
cal nnd religious lifo of the day. The
churches are being divided and filled
with unsound and unscripturul teach
ings and practices. People need to do
some thinking for themselves, nnd not
bo led away with new and untried
theorios, which are repudiated by the
great leaders of the past as well as of
tho presont. A reaction will soon set
in and again sanity will prevail. In
the menntimo there is a call for those
who will refuse to bo swept away by
self apiwiuted leaders, who are doing
great hnrni. Many expressed thoni
selves at the close of the service as
being appreciative of tho talk, as well
as of tho musical program.

BUSINESS MEN'S TICKET
Read What
Businesss Men
and
Taxpayers Say
Medford's financial solvency de
pends on collecting the remaining un
collected assessments. The present
administration has gotten most of
them straightened out. Mr. Gaddis
should be kept on the Jab for another
two years to finish the work,
HENRY HART.
I believe the election of Earl Gaddis
for mayor of Medford Is to the best
Interest of the city. '
JNO. W. JOHNSON.
I have followed very closely the
work of Mr. Gaddis and the present
Business Men's ticket, and while I do
not agree with everything they have
done, in the whole I consider it one
of the best administrations Medford
has had. S. T. RICHARDSON.
I am for Gaddis and the Business
Men's ticket because I want to see
the city prosper and go ahead. It can
only do so by the choosing of men
who have shown by the conduct of
their own personal affairs that they
are able to manage a business enter
prise. LEWIS ULRICH.
Mr. Gaddis has always given his
best efforts to getting canneries, saw
mills and other pay rolls for Medford.
This is why I am for him as I believe
we want a man for mayor who will
work for a bigger Medford rather than
an orator or a real estate promoter,
' W. A. FOLGER.
The thing about Gaddis that appeals
to me is that he has been the one man
who has taken the time from his busi
ness to learn all about the various an
gles of Medford municipal affairs,
Medford could well afford to pay him
a good salary rather than lose his help
in straightening out Its financial mat
ters. A. J. KLOCKER.
y ' "
'Because the last year of grace al
lowed by the charter to those who re
fuse to pay their assessments expires
the coming year It is more important
than at any time that a council pledg
ed to "making them pay up" be
elected. C. E. GATES.

Read What
Business Men
and

Why elect Lindas, the orator and
writer, or Root, the promoter and mak- -er
of smooth promises, when you can
elect Gaddis, the worker and business
man who will give good financial
administration.
W. N. OFFUTT, 'JR.
Why swap horses when crossing a
stream? By all means continue the
good work of the present administra
tion by electing Mr. Gaddis and the
Business Men's ticket,
C. W, MCDONALD.
To get 85 or 90 per cent of the street
assessments straightened up and pay
ing has been no small task. In Justice
to those. who are paying or have paid
the same policy should be continued
until the remaining 10 or 15 per cent
are straightened up.
H. L. WALTHER.
Let well enough alone. I am for
Gaddis and the continuation of the
Present administration's sound busi
ness policy.
A. B. CUNNINGHAM.
It takes concerted effort of us all to
bring prosperity to the city. Because
I believe Mr. Gaddis can more nearly
unite all citizens in bringing this about
I am for Mr. Gaddis.
JERRY JEROME.
Not many people realize the prob
lem that confronted the city when the
present administration took hold of
city affairs. Many who have followed
these matters closely have only un
stinted praise for the good work done..
It should be continued.
V. H, VAWTER.
Gaddis is a business man and admin
istrator. We need such a man for
mayor.. , COURT HALL. . .
While state and county taxes have
mounted to almost disastrous figures,
our city taxes have remained the
same. I ahould consider it the height '
of folly to risk Medford's facing a
fax problem such as now confronts our
state and shall surely vote for Gaddis,
who is entitled to his share of the
credit for Medford's healthy condition
of affairs. W. A. GATES.
You are selecting men to manage a six million dollar municipal corporation, therefore you
want men of sound judgement and business ability. You are not interested in trying out
any costly experiments in City affairs at this time.
