Dividends that speak loutler
- than words spoke loudly on
Tuesday.
J. l'ierpont Morgan added a
dollar to the Steel dividend,
seven millions extra, handed to
stockholders.
Another dollar was added to
; 4 Tuesday's dividend on Anieri-
can Call.
And Wednesday, to increase
cheerfulness, George W. Hill,
who succeeds his father as pres
ident of the American Tobneeo
Company and has almost dou
bled the business of that com
pany, added two dollars to the
payment 'that bis stockholders
will get, a total of more than
nine millions.
Prom Pocantieo Hills, where
.lohn D. Rockefeller is enjoying
life at the age of 90, came a
statement that to the distressed
was like a drink of cool wetcr
in the middle of the Sahara :
x "My son and I have, lor
some days, been purchasing
sound common stocks. We are
continuing, and will continue,
our purchases . in . substantial
amounts at levels which we be
lieve represent sound invest
ment values."
Mr. Rockefeller, who has
giyen away $750,000,000 to sci-
ence, education and fighting
disease, rarely makes any pub
lic utterance "His 'statement
nbont purchase of stocks by
himself and his son, is his first
public statement on tmsiness
since 1911. ' It will do more
than anything else could have
.done to restore confidence.
M
Those purchases, of course,
will probably enable Mr. Rocke
feller to give away another
hundred million. Everybody
knows that his purchases are
based not on a desire for prof
its, but to restore confidence
and prevent unnecessary loss
to millions.
Stocks representing sound
vahies increased in priee yes
terday. Some, slow to move, will
move in due time.
, Some, not worth having, will,
perhaps, stay where they are.
A man is foolish to gamble.
And a man is foolish who al
lows himself to be frightened
into throwing good properties
overboard.

GADDISHITS
I
FOR HER
Commission Amazed By Ac
tion of Citizens' Budget
Committee in Lopping Off
$27,000 From Proposed
Water Fund Discontinu
ance Public Market Also
Recommended.
Chairman E. C. Gadilis of the
wafer commission issued the fol
lowing statement today regarding
the action latjt night of the budget
committee: .
"The city watter commission was
greatly surprised at the action of
last night's citizens' budget com
mittee, particularly from the fact
that it arbitrarily lopped off $27,
000 from the water budget out of
the proposed. $30,000 cut in the to
tal city budget, thus taking prac
tically all from this one depart
ment. "Tho amazing part about this ac
tion is that, if allowed to stand, it
will cut off $24,000 required for
paying off and retiring water
bonds in accordance with city re
quirements as provided in the bond
schedule. Putting off the payment
of city water bonds to some future
time does not mean a saving in any
sense, but does mean added inter
est cost to the city for every
month they remain unpaid.
"It is now up to the city council
to decide whether such a move is
approved or whether the city
should pay its water bonds as
scheduled, and this will be consid
ered very soon at a joint meeting
between the council and water
commission. The commission feels
that putting off paying your bills
is not economy nor saving money
for the city; so is Interested in
seeing Medford's water bonds paid
off as rapidly as possible'."
Adopt Report
The report adopted last night by
the budget committee appointed
some time ago to make recommen
dations to the city council regard
ing the 1930 budget of the city ex
penses, as' foretold in this news
paper yesterday afternoon, last
night recommended that $36,927 be
sliced oft the original budget of
estimates amounting to $157,762
submitted to them by the council
two weeks ago. which would make
the levy IS. 3 mills, 214 mills less
than the levy of two years ago.
However, this does not mean
that the council will accept the
recommendation, which leaves the
budget for operating expenses less
than the present year, despite the
growth of the city in fact, the ma
jority of councllinen woro greatly
displeased, according to expres
sions made by them last night;
and the city water commission,
from whose budget of estimated
expenses the greatest cut was
made, after an unsuccessful fight
last night to have their budget left
unchanged, will make a determin
ed further fight before (he council
to have the Items, stricken out by
the budget committee restored.
Concessions Refused

boiled and refused to malic any
