ANOTHER OPEN LETTER Bng a Further Reply to the "Man or Mouse" Attack of the Daily News Upon W. E. Phipps Tlic Uuily Ners, Mc-tlfora's pro-jfiirbuw Hliwt. d.-livt-red iisoiml iiltiick on m in i's iss.u. of October 2.1, under lite title of "Man or -Mouse." This nssHi.lt o.-eupie.i '''" ter columns of the front page. It demanded un immediate answer, under threat of jury proceedings, tl tendered the mime front pa ire space for niy reply. The same duy 1 banded in a short response which the editor hi the next issue iMriisijrn ed to the 'forum" instead, of the front pajre that he bad offered, and in an abusive editor ial deiiii ine'further spaee in his paper, unless my contribution should meet the condi tions imposed in the "Mail or Mouse" article. What were these conditions? In the article motioned, the Daily News reproduced a political add which I bad run in the Mail Tribune, aud-in order that the reader may jr,! the "low down" of this mutter, it seems necessary to retiiote it, its follows: "WHY IS THE DAILY NEWS SUPPORTING JUDGE THOMAS? "The Daily News was launched as nn independent newspaper. Its editor is an avowed democrat, and two years uiro was elected chairman of the demo cratic county central committee, and in that caiiipaik'ii at least pretended to support the nominees of that party. Many persons have Wondered why it is supporting (q M. Thomas for circuit .iudtie, and it is our purpose to state a few facts taken from the record, which may throw some -light on tltsubject. "Two members of the N'ews Publishing Company last spring organized and arc now members of the City Sanitary Service, Inc. This corporation was or ganized to handle the3 garbage of Medford, and on March 6, 1)2S, was by the city council awarded an exclusive contract, commonly called "the garbage grab." Hy this contract nnd the ordinance putting it into effect, this corpora tion wag given the right to collect'all the. garbage front all hotels, restaurants, stores and residences in iiic city, without paying n cent for this valuable ref use matter which it tises in fattening bogs, and was thereby also authorized to make a stiff charge against the owners of the garbage For hauling if away. . . "liefore tho ordinance and contract went into effect, two farmers who had0 " previously entered-, into garbage contracts with the restaurants and hotels, brought an injunction suit in Judge Thomas' court attacking tins contract and ordinance. o "On April 27, Judge TJiomas decided the garbage case against the farm ers, and sustained the monopoly of the City Sanitary Service, Inc., and the ease is now on appeal in the supreme court, o o "l"p to that time, the Daily News bad never uttered a word in favor of Judge Thomas, but shortly afterwards it came out hi a strong editorial endors-. ing him, and ever since has been Judge Thomas most ardent supporter in the district." 0 DRAW GUILTY INFERENCES o From this statement o facts from the records, she Daily News, by Lee T,ttlc, Mana ging Kditor. City Sanitary Service, Inc., by C. A. Swigart. Secretary-Treasurer, Mayor and City Council, City of Medford, by O. 0. -Menderfcr, Mayor, who signed and sponsor ed the "Man or Mouse" attaek, drew their own innuendoes and conclusions, as fllows: "The purpose of that advertisement was apparently to accomplish one or o more of the following objects: To injure Judge Thomas, by insinuating that he had debauched his pcrson- - al honor and the integrity of the Court for personal or political ends; o - or o To injure the Daily News, by insinuating that it had sold its poljjicitl opin ions and support in exchange for unvoirrantcd judicial favors granted one of its stockholders: or ' o o To injure the City Sanitarv Service, Inc., bv insinuating that that eoinpansj, o or any of its stockhojders, had been a party to the fraudulent securing of mu nicipal, contracts; . or 0 ' ' , o To injure the Mayor ayd Council of tho City of Mcdfortl, by insinuating that they had bcfjii guilty of the fraudulent or illegal grautiiig of . munici pal contracts." Q o o GARBAGE GANG TRY BLUFF. Bear in mind these arc not my conclusions, but the interpretation of the three parties interested in this garbage contract. And from the further threats contained, it is evi dent tbathis "Aran or Mouse" diatribe was an attempt tobulldozc and mtimdute me in to an aisj'ccment with these innuendoes or into a retraction of the plain facts set out in the advertisement. Because of my refusal to be thus bluffed and bullied, and because of my offer to cooperate in a grand jury investigation of this whoft garbage mess, as stated in my "Opcnol'cply," the Daily News has denied inc access to its columns. 0 Q And it will be noted that while Tuttlc, Swigart and Alenderfcr deduct the implica ting inferences stated, neitsl'r of them attempts to deny the statenrilits of the advertisc meiit.O There is 9 old adage that "A guilty conscience needs no accuser," and another $lat "The guilty flee when, no man pursueth." PEOPLE NOT INFORMED And iu conclusion let mo say that ver? few peoJe of Medford have read this garbage ordinance or know the far-reaching and evil effects Of the "garbage grab" entered in to between the present city administration and the City Sanitary Service, In. In a re cent issue. of tho local css this new garbage concern boasts of "a 'S)'v increase in busi ness, much of which is due to refuse which is being hauled away from the l king house district." q This means the garbage compaig is grabliing all the cull, rcfutg pears and apples, which under the ordinance it is entitled to do. It also lias the right to take all of the offal anil garbage from butcher shops, ejAjieries and dairies, and the market wastes of animal and vegetable matter from the stores ai9i'shops. Under this ordinance and coOract, it not on ly has the right to take all this valuable feed for lining, but to charge the owners KSt- haul ing it away. It has the right to demand the garbage nnd rubbish, even t the . ashes thrown on gardens, from every owner, tenant or occupant of any dwelling,' and j cry fi-eper f any hotel, restaurant, boarding house or other building, in this ty, and l make a stiff charge for taking it away. O INVITED TO READ ORDINANCE If you doubt this go to the City HccoP.'r and demand to see City Ordinance Num ber -.'L'T;'. Read it carefully' and dwell awhile on Stion !J, which reads as follows: ".Section !. Whereas the City has given unto the City SanitarQcrvice. Inc., the exclusive right, franchise or privilege of collecting, gathering and hauling over the streets or the City of Medford, Oregon, all garbage, a or or rubbish accumulating therein. It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, firm or corporation other than the City Sanitary Service Inc., to collect, gather or haul over the greets of the City of Medford, Oregon, any garbage, ashes or rubbish accumulating therein." You cannot, therefore haul your own garbage over one the city streets without be ing subject to ti fine of not exceeding 100. IX). It is all turned over to the City Sanitary Service, Inc., giving it a monopoly worth a fortune. ; 'i ' ' You think ir won't gougo Qui! Look what it did to SpcnccrO" Wclty. These farm ers each had a bunch of hogs, and only garbage to faten them.' They had written con tracts with the hotels and restaurants of Medford for all garbage from these eating pla eesor n term of years. They were licensed by the Dairy and Food Commissioner of Oregon to feed garbage to swine. They were paying for this garbage and moving it c.tch night, in covered containers and in the most sanitarv manner. ' " DECIDED AGAINST FARMERS The City of Medford and City Sanitary Sen-ice, Inc., by decision of Judge C. M. Thomas in the Circuit Court, broke these written contracts, took all of this garbage, which compelled these farmer!) to dispose of their hogs as best they could. If this monopoly should win in the Supreme Court, which may the law and common honcKtv forbid tlinn nil I .,un ..v in tit n;ttv..i,u -r.ir..H.i :.. t ....i. j-i... .t.- - .... . .u.. w vi .iiviiiviu i. iu"iv viu, inc gar bage gang have you shanghaied ! And it is because I am the attorney, working in the interests of the people against what I consider this most unjust decision, that I am thus assailed by this pio-garbag-s sheet, the Daily News. But I now warn this garbage gang tha,t thry better slow up on pcrsounl abuse, nt lens) as a-'ninsl myseir. Tir season is closed. . Paid Advsrtlserr.enj V. K. HMPlH
