Home time ago we mentioned
the. fact that among the Interests
of the November election in 1930
will be the election of n county
commissioner. George Alford, who
tin been county commissioner fur
some yearsP-will complete his .term
of office, and as the other two
members of the county court come
from other sections of Jackson
county the natural thing Is for the
candidates to bo selected from this
section of the county. : The Dally
Tidings several days ago mention
ed Ralph Billings, mom in e n t
ninchcr, who has serVed on the
county budget committee and who
Is quite familiar with the county
work, as the logical candldato to
be named on the Republican ticket
at the primary which will bo held
next Way. , Since that time we
have discussed the candidacy of
Mr. Billings with the major por
tion of tho G. O. P. central com
mitteemen from this section of the
county nnd find that Mr. Billings
will be given every support as
there is a feeling ho Is especially
well qualified for, the position. Mr.
Hillings when consulted about the
matter said that If there was a
demand among his friendft'fbr his
services ho would be glad to serve.
In selecting a county commis
sioner it Is well to consider some
Important requirements. A man
who can work in harmony with
other members of the county court
a man who can represent not
only his own district, but who can
Impartially represent the entire
county ami at the same time be
keenly alive to -the needs of the,
section from which he comes thru
his dally contact with that section.
Is the man who will ideally fill the
position.
' Knowing Ralph Billings and
knowing that he has conducted his
own business successfully, knowing
him as a man who has good judg-.
inent and who can work harmoni
ously and yet effectively with oth
ers, we feel that ho is hdoally
qualified to fill the position of
county commissioner. -
With' theso facts In mind wo
hope that Mr. -Billings', will soon
seo his way' clenr to formally an
nounce his candidacy, knowing It
will bo backed by a large number
of his friends aHwetl ns those who
are Identified with the county Re

MAYOR POINTS
PARENTS DUTY
UNDER CURFEW
Medford Pharmacy
"The Reliable Store"
'DuiIiik the vacation period In
Medford and prior to the opcnlnK
of the schools there were frequent
comments and some complaints
about the children ten, twelve and
fifteen years of ace loltcrlnR about
the streets after tho curfew hour.
This' practice hurt continued since
the school year opened and lifts
Krown worse Instead of better, nnd
our police department has been
onalile to cope with this condition
by use uf mild means, und com
plaints are moro frequent now
than during the summer months.
It Is n rcKiettiible mutter that
parents will permit this condition
i.t any season, und wholly unimr
donabic during the school year.
Such delliniuency upon the part
of parents or guardian is unconi;.
plltncntary to the high class of
cltlisenry of which .Medford boasts.
'A receht survey or 'the situation
has revealed the astounding fact
that boys under the ugo of fifteen
and even under the ago of ten
yilars' congregate Ih huge numbers
about the armory on tho nights
when ' tmxing bouts have been
ritiged and stormed the do.Ms and
windows for admittance. ' ' ','
At 'the ri'gutnr meklng' iif tho
i lly council on last Tuesday night
! Ibis problem was thoroly consid
ered and It was the unanimous
derlolbn of tho council that this
condition must cense Immediately.
We tiuestlon the wisdom of fcven
permitting the presence of boys of
the ngofl Above mentioned nt box
ing or wrestling bouts, nnd they
certainly will hot be permitted to
attend unehaperoned. In sumo of
our larger cities ordinances have
been enacted Imposing it fine upon
Ihe purojit who permits his son or
daughter to loiter Upon the streets
after 'th curfew hour. We hope
(hat this will not be neeessnry in
.Mr-oford. ' '
Th rurfew will ring at p. m.
In the future nnd hoys art (J girls
under the. nge of fifteen yeurs who
are found upon the streets Without
chaperon will be taken Into cus
tody by the pollre. We appeitl til
the parent of .Medford for their
co-operation In correcting this
night loitering of children tn the
end that embarrassment for chil
dren nnd parents may be avoided.
