BUDGET COMMITTEE ACTION SHOULD BRINO GOOD RESULTS , . , THE CITY 15UDCIET COMMITTEE should bo something; more than n mere rubber stamp to O. K. doprirtiucut appro priations. In cutting down tlie appropriations by $30,000, and bringing into sharp relief the administration of the city water commission and the city market, we feel the budget committee rendered a useful service. Public attention , is now focused sharply upon these two important questions, arid is a. result the people will have a clear understandijir of ,'thi'm ilwitb,-. ydiicb should lead to a more satisfactory situation supported by au in formed public opinion. By this we do jiot mean the budtret douimitteo rceonmivnda tions should be blindly followed.' In fiact, in our opinion; the more tlie situation is studied, the mere .'apparent it will be that the citv market does not need elimination, but a. complete re organization ; and 'thnt nothing should prevent tlie' water com-, mission from continuing its established policy of paying off and retiring water bonds, as every principle of good business man agement demands. - .

Smudge Smoke H AD the budget committee merely OKed tlie appropriations, however, without investigation or drastic action, things would probably have gone on from bad to worse, until the pub lic, market would have been forced out entirely,, and prejudice against the water commission would have increased to a point where its usefulness would have been seriously impaired. Now, however, with all the cards on the table, and the issues clearly joinedtlie City Council ciiii act. as '.intermediary and final judge, with the selection of a workable program, mutually satisfactory to both sides of the controversy, highly probable. Prof. Iontr of Oregon Stnto was here Thurs.-Frl. He was here last year, when Edward Carleton asked him 700 questions, and he answer ed them all correctly, as far as Ed ward knows. ; Tito eves and morns arc getting rathor frigid around the edes, causing early rising citizens to step lively.. The bird shooting terminated Thurs. 43 Chinese pheasants were slain, and many barns wounded. In the fray, not to mention live stock, -wood-peckers, and "No Hunting" signs. , Wall Street got its long and greedy fingers Into several local walleti last week. Hallowe'en passed pleasantly, without a home or hospital being dynamited. Hallowe'en comes but once a year, which seems to be snough. Wm. Bates of the Clean Cut Cnt-off shoppc is still debating the feasibility of becoming a golfer. Mr. Bates has beep considering tho matter for a year, and refuses to bo rushed. . The weather continues congen ial, and is being appreciated by all rvho have relations with it. A flashy sign with a parrot on tho east end. is punctuating the night to the great delight of H. Flewher. Like all signs, it has a little, red In it. P.ort Lageson has acquired a new . lglou, where he plans to abide. A few of tho tougher house flies nro still amongst us. The high school football team drank tho bftter dregs of defeat for the first time in six years last Saturday, a week. It was a bitter pill, tout was staved off a long time. Like tho Republican party, It was thought they were unbeat able. It ought to help the attend ance, as many did not like to go nnd see Medford win, all the time. It was painful. The objectors can now go, nnd have tho agony of . coming out the little end of the horn, mixed with their pigskin. On tl)o other hand, some like to sec the homo team win 1000 to 2, if they can. Ed White has a now sot of duds throughout, nnd looks nice. The 4tl headlights seen on the hlM, so. of town, turned out to be an air mall beacon. Sneezing and coughing has start ed, but has not become general yet In tho theaters. Over Nine Million Wash'gton Monument Visitors 14 Years W HIC'II is all to the good. Politics, personal or local, should sition and should be settled along business lines. "Ye feel this will be the. manner 'of final settlement, for the pepplc of Med ford will have no patience with any faction that places its pet schemes above the welfare of the city .as a whole. l J: y Second Transfer of the market to the County Grange, un der its control. A public market is not a money making proposition. It is a convenience to the public on one hand; and a help to local pro ducers on the other. It should, however, be moro nearly self sustaining than has been the case in the past few years. THERE was a time when merchants opposed the public mar i kct idea, on the ground of competition, sometimes "un fair" competition. .Hut that attitude has been pretty generally abandoned. ... i Successful public markets in other cities havtf not worked out that way. They have brought country people into the cily, answered a demand not met by tlie established retail trade, and by passing cash around helped both tho merchants and the truck gardeners. . ; We believe that either by reorganization or transfer to the' Grange sii'clf a public market caii be' inaiiitaiilcd Jn Med ford. At leqst 'before he'itiarket is ! abandoned entirely, these alternative jjluns. should be tried. ; Press Comment Hunters: Spare the Birds WATER BONDS MUST BE RETIRED AS is usual in such situations, there arc conflicting views, proceeding from the same facts. With all the facts de termined, however, it should 'be possible to satisfactorily adjust the differences. , And on matter there is or should be general agreement, namely : THAT NOTHING SHOULD INTERFERE WITH THE REGULAR RETIREMENT OF OUR WATER BONDS. The water commission maintains that these bonds can't be retired per schedule if this $30,000 reduction is made. For a portion of the money necessary for this retirement and which was allowed by the budget committee will have to be used for carrying out certain contracts.-particiilarly. the purchase of real estate contiguous to the pipeline. They, also regard the $14,000 appropriation for this year's contribution to the construction of the new city reservoir as essential.. ' ' '" ' T OW if this is true, if the. $27,000 reduction can't be made 11 without preventing the retirement of water bonds then, in our opinion it SHOULD NOT BE MADE. Any curtailment should start from absolute agreement that this bond payment and retirement must go on without delay or interruption. Then from this common starting point, all expenditures which are not essential at tho present time, or which can be delayed for another year, without material sacrifice, should be eliminated. ' Within this category conies the new reservoir project. The water commission declares it is needed as necessary fire protec tion. The budget committee says it. isn't so needed at the pres: cut time. We believe final decision as to which is right can be safely left with Mayor Pipes and the City Council, acting as art inter mediary between the conflicting groups. This is the duck hunting seas-1 on. Ten with guns are abroad. Wardens atie watching them, but therq are many, many hunters to each guardian of the law. Bonio I of the hunters are Ignorant of tho laws: some are stupid. Too many, out to kill, and having poor, suc cess with ducks, shoot anything thnt files; And ns this is tho mi grating season not only for ducks, but for many birds that feed on dcstructlvo insects and weed seeds, these fall victims to the hunters' lust to kill. ' Ralph Hodgson said It all In a few lines tho results of this wit leas slaughter: I saw with open eyes Singing, birds sweet Sold In the shops For the people to eat; Sold in the shops of Stupidity Streot. I saw in vision , The worm in tho wheat, , And in the shops nothing. ' , For the people to cat; . Nothing for sale in . .- Stupidity, Street. t, it- Exactly. Nature's balance has already -.been : upset. .. by .. man's slaughter of his allies, tho birds. In consequonco our fields are' rav aged by insects which tho birds are too few to check. ' Wo import many of thoso P'csta from Europe, whero Indiscriminate killing has continued so long that birds arc scarce. Thus we. have tho Euro pean corn borer, tho Mediterran ean fruit fly, tho Jnpancso beetlo and other pests foreign to Amer ica while our birds wero numer ous. Our small enemies who kill our trees and eat our crops prop agate by the thousands and mil lions while our birds raise- usually but ono family a year. We have shot and trapped our birds, or driven them away; now we are using sprays, and importing para sites to prey on our Insect enemies, and still the destroyers of our orchards, our forests and our fields multiply. To kill ourtiaturnl allies, tho birds that destroy Insects, is not only stupid;' It is a long step to ward human suicide as scientists who study the bugs nnd their dep redations have pointed out. Don't kill the birds; we need them; with out them wo aro in danger, event ually, of losing tho battle for man's supremacy on earth. Ye Poet's Corner RETAIN THE PUBLIC MARKET o X another matter there should be almost" as unanimous agreement, namely: That the public market should not 'be abandoned at the present time,- or until two alternative plans have boon thor oughly tried Pitt;' Wrti..MW -i-wioit First A complete reorganization of the market, under city ontrol, or , .. . , . . . , ' AlTt'MS FROStS ,.

SI7V IICS As we understand tho analysis of the football game hero Satur day ns given by the Oregonlnn sports writer, O. H. C. was uble to win largely because Oregon university team hnd knocked Ida ho Into a cocked hat tho week bo foro and tho Vantlnls had nover recovered either their strength nor their spirit. It shows a flue spirit of cooperation, an "Oro gon for Oregon" spirit, ouch for all and all for ono, and when tho little brother tip tit Corvallls is about to go against a big fight ing machine like Idaho, why, tho university just steps Into the broach a week or so before and knocks tho college adversary In to a stato of conuv so that it can't ctimo to in time for' tho O, S. C. game. Wo nro very sorry the university team had not played Stanford tho I2th Instead of the nth. for by tho tlmo O. S. C. got there on tho I9tlt, Stnnford scorn ed to have recovered from tho jolt Oregon University gavo It arid put up a gamo fight. Of course, tlio same Portland authority who also predicted so much for Hag shaw's team, said that part of Idaho's handicnp hero was a soft field, but, of tho two, wo take It tho bump glvon thorn by tho uni versity was tho soverost blow, but that tho two wero Too Much. , Hut It's rino to see this spirit of friendliness .between the two schools which must bo credited to tho Joint board of regents. , Too bad the University didn't pluy Washington State Inst Saturday in stead of playing Washington Uni versity. That would have left W. S. C. too dazed and dispirited to win from Oregon Stato next Satur day when the two teams clash in Portland. Now thnt the Oregon I'nlversity has reformed and shows a friendly interest In O. S. C, wo -suggest that the noxt yenr's schedules be all arranged so that O. S. C. may have this big Oregon University team ns a buff er thruout tho season, a sort of shock troops organization to go ahead and do the hard work which Is rightfully theirs. To bo sure, wo . would want something bosldes Pacific Unlvorslty, Wil lamotto University nnd tho Unlvor slty of California of L. A., which tho Seattle P. I. said looked like a "sot-up" schedule for Oregon '"t, perhaps that could bo arrang ed, ....... , , , In tho meantime, wo resent tlio criticism of tho . Seattle ..paper's sport writer In which ho said that In spite of tho score against Washington U.. "all thnt Oregon showed, was a bunch of green sweaters and Johnny Kltsmlller." Oregon has a good team, one of tho best it has hud in yoars nnd it will have a good one next year If it has to hire the late coach of Medford and get his five star players to como with hitn.
